His video on the Peninsular War decribed it surprizingly well
Aka a secondary theater on which Brits and Wellington stagnated for years, retreating back to Porto each time they found a real French force on their path, until Napoleon fucked up in Russia which allowed Brits to finally advance on this theater now deprived of any French attention

It's crazy to think that, during the same amount of time it took the Russians to take the area between Moscow and Paris from the main French army, Brits struggled to take the area between Madrid and Toulouse from a second-rate French army
Really shows how inferior the British land army was compared to Russian or French ones

Argies only lost because their infantry was shit and couldn't hold the islands

No
They were lucky Thatcher didn't nuke their pathetic excuse of a country back into the stone age
Although that might've been an improvement

Any good Falklands films?

British Grand Fleet entering the Firth of Forth, WW1.

Weird, there's no FDR in your picture.

>>3388646
FDR tried his hardest to destroy civilization, it's just fortunate he was in power at a time when everything had already gone to shit so he couldn't make things much worse.

>>3388657
Imagine being a republican who is still fucking mad at FDR and the new deal.

Without FDR there would be no NEETS and no 4chan.

No. MacArthur was a fucking hack whose reputation made up for his complete lack of ability.

they definitely got culturally engreek'd

>>3388545
Hmm... I guess on second thought, "Hellenize" basically means the same thing as "spread Greek culture to". Oh well, interesting historical period anyway. I wonder how backwards the Italian natives were compared to the Greek colonists. Must have been some interesting brew of cultures there around where Phoenicians, Greeks, and Italians all interacted.

dying means you stop living, so you have to be alive before you die, meaning the answer is no

>>3388473
There was no you before you were alive
There won't be one after you die either, so technically you can't ever die

>>3388473(OP)

We live and die in endless succession, so actually yes you have died before and you will live again.

That said, time is just a measurement of change and it's not wholly accurate to discuss things in a chronological sense, as though time has an absolute beginning and an absolute end.

lmao babbies first philosophy class

nothing about dying requires that you never live again, and you can't destroy a form so we persist in some sense regardless of a temporal dissolution of our body.

the same people would be pulling his strings so world history would not be greatly different. if he would try to stray he would have an "accident"

The Soviet economy was still fucked.

When all you've got left is oil and oil prices drop, it's pretty much game over.

The German research wasn't a 100% thing, it needed some more time to explain and verify it and then there is the whole thing about tobacco lobby.

If you think inhaling smoke isn't harmful, you are retarded. However, we had private healthcare back then so I'd smoke away. Now I'm paying for it so I'm conflicted about granting people the same freedom.
