The name comes from Polish "U kresu krainy"(At the end/edge of the Country). Also can be translated as borderland.

It's borderlands cause it's not a real country

Probably local town hall or library. Historical society if your town has one.

If you don't have any success with any of those, just try talking to old people.

>>2621609
Also sometimes you can learn about your town by going to places outside of your town.

For example, I learned that my backyard was owned by James A Garfield by going to his house which is a couple towns over from where I live.

If you have a college/university in town, they may have a dedicated local historian. At my university we have a local historian, and he guided me to write a paper about how the Korean War impacted the local economy.

>European Renaissance
The "first renaissance" happened in France. The 12th century started in Northern Europe. The Quattrocento is overrated.

>>2621091
I love this modern fixation on having actual explanations for things. Like, "there must be some series of specific but generalizable causes for every event" or "clearly, it was the concentration of X in that area and the fact that Y happened".
What if it's just luck? What if the whole reason why rome developed was because at a certain point during a battle in the first latin wars, a soldier from an enemy army tripped over and caused his formation to break up, thus setting rome on a streak of victories?
What if we were to replicate those conditions that rome grew in and like 99% of the times the simulation would turn up complete shit because that soldier never tripped on his feet?

For all intents and purposes the USA won the Vietnam War, which throws a wrench in your whole argument.

The political goals and the military conditions approved to achieve it didn't jive. American policymakers assumed that if they propped up the south, repelled all attempts by the North Vietnamese to invade and wrought hell on the North with their superior firepower acceptable concessions would follow.

As it turned out the South's government was rotten and wouldn't survive without indefinite & substantial US support which was becoming untenable as US involvement became more unpopular as the war dragged on and the North's will to fight was much stronger than anticipated.

At least that's how I understand it.

>>2621073
Because first, US didn't really lose in battlefields, they lost in politics and morale, American people were just unwilling to support their government to fight anymore. Military wise, America didn't lose at all, on the contrary, they won almost every ground battles and inflicted heavy casualties on Vietcong.

Second, Vietcong had very strong determination and received almost endless support from USSR and Chicom, including weapons, ammunition, tanks, air crafts, rations, military instructors..etc, their entire guerrilla tactic is derived from PLA who already has abundant experiences to deal with American back in Korea. Therefore, it's impossible to make them back down! Even if they were really defeated, they could simply retreat to China and fight back again.

>>2621039
Got USA in the war couple months earlier had they not been part of axis.

>>2621039
Realistically the US was a major threat the entire time. Hitler wrote extensively about the threat the US posed.

He probably viewed Japan as a chance to neutralize/forestall the US (or at least the USSR, although Japan wisely avoided that front).

>>2621039
So many things went wrong it can only be explained with everything being orchestrated by a dark hand

Why didn't Napoleon simply blockade Russia along with Britain?

Is egoism just figuring out why you do what you do and seeing if it makes sense.

Why do people say Charlemagne split up his empire

Do you people really think events can be split into neet packages like the middle ages

Was there any way a viable kingdom could arise between France and Germany.

>Is egoism just figuring out why you do what you do and seeing if it makes sense.
A simplified but not incorrect summary

>Why do people say Charlemagne split up his empire
Prior to the death of Charlemagne, the Empire was divided among various members of the Carolingian dynasty. These included King Charles the Younger, son of Charlemagne, who received Neustria; King Louis the Pious, who received Aquitaine; and King Pepin, who received Italy. Pepin died with an illegitimate son, Bernard, in 810, and Charles died without heirs in 811. Although Bernard succeeded Pepin as King of Italy, Louis was made co-Emperor in 813, and the entire Empire passed to him with Charlemagne's death in the winter of 814.[4]

A couple of generations later it properly collapsed, but that was inevitable without Charlemange's prestige holding it together

>Do you people really think events can be split into neet packages like the middle ages
If you're giving a very basic summary of events, yes.

>Was there any way a viable kingdom could arise between France and Germany.
No, the Netherlands are fictional

Completely based, but stabbed in the back by socialists and liberals.

Successfully intervened in Crimea and did majority of the fighting contrary to what the British like to claim
Successfully intervened in Italy and prevented the Catholic Church from falling
Granted suffrage rights

He was dogged by sickness in the end years and forced by dumb republicans to enter war with Germany unprepared. Compared to his uncle? Well it's hard to find anyone who can match him.

France could have done better than this.

I've already gathered that Lutheran Church Missouri Synod has some High Church influences, especially compared to The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America which are openly Christian Left and Christian Feminist

The perception probably started after Christianity became mainstream, considering their portrayal of wealthy men as being worldly and sinful. "Easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God" and all that.

>>2620547
since the slave morality of Christianity and subsequently Liberalism took hold in the global consciousness
