History Nerd Thread
« on: April 23, 2019, 06:05:17 PM »
I got bored, therefore I decided to make a thread for all the History nerds who are (probably) part of this community.

Welcome in advance, and ask whatever questions or debate things however you like.

Have a Sabaton video.

I wrote a thing. It has consumed my life.

I’m sure someone will make a joke referring to how the USSR failed against Poland in the 1920’s sooner or later.

Make a joke about it? Hardly. But I might laugh about it quietly in the hopes that the knowledge might make up for the already-present knowledge of the losses over the next half-century...

Or how America reacted when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
