Goodluck mate

>>3076520

Well, one thing WW1 soldiers did all the time is write utter shitloads of letters to people back home. In many cases, there really wasn't much else you could do other than just write about whatever was on your mind.

Well it works well enough to defeat autism.

It forcibly brought russia and china into the 20th century
More important than survival is the creation of irreversible political states of affairs. It's ok for ones empire to crumble ignominiously, so long as most of europe ends up switching to the metric system afterwards.

"Carthage Must Be Destroyed" is the book I'm planning on reading once I finish SPQR. It's supposed to be a history of Carthage.

Is Vilnius the Slavic homeland?

>>3085913
Macedonia is.

>>3085920

So doesn't that mean Vilnius belongs to Lithuanians? They were there first

>>3085541
after the country itself gets rebuilt and has money to spare, it should

>>3085541
No, although maybe replicas should be built nearby. The actual buildings and statuary on the sites were not important because they were buildings and statuary, what mattered was their historical significance, which can't really be inheritd by similar buildings on the same site.

>>3085541
Mosques should be build in their place. You dirty numale fedora cuck postmale low test mangina.

>>3085393
Nah, they just wanted the American fleet to not be a factor when invading the DEI for that sweet oil

>>3085393
Wouldn't what's happening on your pic be more comparable to the dolittle raid but with nukes?

But did they seriously think if they destroyed the US fleet that there would not be serious retaliation? Or did they actually hope to destroy the US fighting capability?

Honestly, that pic could easily apply to any number of leaders throughout history who decide to make war.

Can you still deposit the Canada bux in the bank? Old dollars never actually become worthless right?

>>3085595
Why would he deposit that in exchange for a quarter?

Sortie, kill and loss figures

U.S. figures compiled at the end of the war indicate that the F4U and FG flew 64,051 operational sorties for the U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy through the conflict (44% of total fighter sorties), with only 9,581 sorties (15%) flown from carrier decks.[63] F4U and FG pilots claimed 2,140 air combat victories against 189 losses to enemy aircraft, for an overall kill ratio of over 11:1.[64] Against the best Japanese opponents, the aircraft claimed a 12:1 kill ratio against Mitsubishi A6M and 6:1 against the Nakajima Ki-84, Kawanishi N1K-J and Mitsubishi J2M combined during the last year of the war.[65] The Corsair bore the brunt of U.S. fighter-bomber missions, delivering 15,621 short tons (14,171 metric tons) of bombs during the war (70% of total bombs dropped by U.S. fighters during the war).[64]

Corsair losses in World War II were as follows:-

By aerial combat: 189
By enemy ground and ship-board anti-aircraft fire: 349
Operational losses during combat missions: 230
Operational losses during non-combat flights: 692
Destroyed aboard ships or on the ground: 164[64]

seems it did well

Adequate fighters,would certainly decimate a zero when they get it in the sights
Having more survivability means you can scoop out survivors and means that you keep those veterans,which is a huge part in america's success since the jap pool of skilledfighter was so low that kamikaze was a viable option

>>3084929
Then why did the Japanese then focused on their aircrafts being lightweight as possible instead of increasing it's survivability? Were they banking on the idea that veteran pilots can pilot anything as long as they could get the job done and come back alive while shooting down American planes?

>>3084793
Philippines was also under Spain for 333 years. Yet it doesn't speak Spanish, just a few words were integrated to the local language. I'm assuming Spain didn't want to fully share their language and their culture to that country.

But when the Americans invaded, it was the reverse, resulting to Philippines being one of the english speaking countries in South East Asia together with Singapore which was under the British rule I think.

>>3084793
You are probably just retarded if you think that they don't share nothing in common

>>3085347
Like?

No.

nobody ruled Europe until 1st century and for most of history it was one giant clusterfuck
most of it was wilderness with hundreds of insignificant tribes whose people spent time skirmishing among themselves and playing with their own shit
there was a bunch of more sophisticated places like Greece and Egypt but they didn't give a fuck about mainland and focused on the area on Mediterranean coast
then Rome rolled in and whipped roughly half of the place into shape, while the other half had to wait almost until 10th century for Byzantium to finish the job (and finally give its people little things like the ability to finally write shit down)
meanwhile the Western half Europe was quite literally a bunch of bickering kids arguing who should inherit the mantle of Rome, all the while Byzantium still existed
later there was a bunch of "empires" coexisting on the continent, the Byzantines in Greece and Asia minor, Franks in Galia, Germania and Italia, Bulgarians in everything Balkan that wasn't Byzantine and niggers held almost whole Spain
EE was still tribal as fuck
Franks split, HRE was founded, Ugros came out of nowhere and founded a kingdom in central Europe, Spain is almost done kicking out muslims (after 700 fucking years)
Slavs finally knew how to write and they fairly quickly unified the tribes and founded Rus and Poland
Byzantines got fucked by Turks, HRE started fracturing, whole east got fucked by Golden Horde, but got better and Russia is re-founded- this time they say that actually they are the inheritors of Rome
Ottomans are gobbling up Balkans and go all the way to central Europe, HRE is completely fucked and fractured to the point never seen before
Poland is suddenly powerful as fuck and invades Russia while kicking the Turks out of central Europe, then gets fucked by Russians and Germans to the point of nonexistence
France invades everything and gets fucked, "modern" Germany, Italy and Spain form, afterwards WWI = no empire survived next century

they were imperialist not globalist

Were the g*eek artists so bad or was he a downie?
