History

Best answer: The obvious explanation is that the US governments would do anything against Communism.
Now, if the question is for instance "why particularly Vietnam, why did they participate to the war in Vietnam and not in Algeria", I see two reasons:
1) Mao's China was a big threat and in the US strategy it was important to encircle it with US puppets, rather than letting it become a regional power with an expanding sphere of influence.
2) Neither the French nor the US were giving a f*ck about millions of Vietnamese dying and the country getting destroyed. In Algeria you would have had too many French civilians around to continue an endless bloody war, and moreover France's interests were to find a deal to keep exploiting the petroleum and gas, not to completely ruin Algeria.

There’s no Italian Caribbean or German Caribbean and they don’t even give Germany a beach with Ocean This is messed up because even the Saxons came from Saxony and Saxony is part of Germany And Bath, England proved the Romans brought baths to England and Rome is part of Italy!!!! And the English love their afternoon tea that Japan grows. So it only be fair the German get something and Italy and Japan, in a sort of alliance to make up the next 1000 year period....no?

Best answer: it started in earnest with reagan and reaganomics. since then, we've had round after round of those ever popular tax cuts, the benefits of which are always, overwhelmingly, in favor of the rich, while simultaneously the wages of ordinary workers have been kept consistently stagnant. trump's recent tax cut was just the most recent example of this.

Best answer: Territory = resources

Best answer: Now that really s a supreme piece of nonsense. Would you apply to any other school/college/university? that they take on all the applicants with low or no ability on the grounds that the better ones don't need to be taught? Htiler was turned down twice for the course he applied for, but encouraged to apply for the School of Architecture, but he did not.
While he was trying to make a living by selling paintings he went into partnership with Samuel Morgenstern, a Jew who sold some of his paintings for him - several were bought by an important client, Josef Feingold, also Jewish, whose wife Elsa liked them.
Later Morgenstern was forced to sell his business to an Aryan who did not pay for it. He wrote to Hitler, asking if he could have some compensation for the loss of his business to enable him to emigrate. The letter was unanswered, and he and his family were sent to the Lodz ghetto where he died. The Feingolds were deported to Auschwitz and killed there.

Best answer: If he had to choose, since West Germany was more Jew-friendly or at least Jew-tolerating, DDR. Also, more totalitarian, which might have been more his cup of tea.

Iceland became independent in the summer of 1944 after over 500 years under Danish control, but how in the world were they able to get it at that time? Not only Denmark but also Germany would have to accept that and surely the latter would have that very low on their priority list when they were at war with two different superpowers infiltrating their occupied areas in west and eastern Europe every day...

Best answer: There are a number of plus and minuses.
The Mongol horde spread the bubonic plague but an enormous variety of new consumer goods, agriculture, weaponry, religion, and medical science became available in Europe.

Best answer: Taking account of the present humiliation I wonder why all those who fought in the two world wars didnt turn over and go back to sleep. We have thrown away the great victory.
Even me at 74 would have grown up to a greater nation if the Fuhrer has won.

I was reading up on japanese occupation after ww2 and read that america decided to spare the imperial japanese family because the japanese would have killed themselves in the tens of millions if they found out that their precious hirohito was dead.

It is basically 2 lightning-bolts next to each other. What does that mean? Why does the fat right use it?

Best answer: Missiles in Turkey...way over talked now by historians. They were there as a routine deployment of US missiles to NATO ally Turkey. NATO (US/UK/W. Europe) already had similar missiles in West Europe to protect from Soviet attack. In themselves they were unimportant but would be important later as a an excuse 'to make a deal'.
Couldn't destroy the Soviet missiles in Cuba...Way no! They were nuclear, armed and ready to launch. There were also Soviet nuclear submarines near Cuba ready to launch. Any US attack on the Cuba missiles would mean at least some/ most would launch hitting the US east coast and nuclear WWIII. This was not known for sure then but was suspected, and was definitely proved decades later by document releases etc.
End of crisis, both did?...Yes true, but Kennedy took the lead and made the moves. Thinking (as it turned out correctly) that the missiles in Cuba might already be armed, he refused to try and destroy them, and instead naval blockaded the island (Cuba). That would starve the missiles of parts, fuel, supplies but not start WWIII. He gave the Russians an ultimatum to remove them. Kruschnev was then stuck, if he backed down he'd look like a fool, if he didn't nuclear war was almost a sure thing. He signaled he wanted a way out. Kennedy gave him the routine missiles in Turkey so Russia could claim it (falsely) as a swap.
P.S. What the historians don't talk about now is what Kennedy really gave the Soviets...a secret promise (kept till this day by all Presidents) that the US would never invade Cuba and try and depose Castro (and now his brother) by military force again as Eisenhower tried to do in the 'Bay of Pigs' (1959-61). That CIA fiasco was why the Russians put the missiles in Cuba in the 1st place.

I was just wondering because I love history and wanted to know if there was any audio interviews with a Revolutionary War veteran. I know that recording devices wouldn't be good or if there was. Thanks for any answers!
