How come Koreans were still living in mudhuts like Afrcans in the fucking 20th century? Just how backwards was the rest of Asia in general at the time?

While looking through some flags I've noticed that a lot of African and Slavic flags share the same colours.
What is the origin of this and are there other regional patterns like this?

They must have experienced pain or suffering a lot of the time because they didn't have modern medicine for most afflictions, they didn't have much entertainment, it took an age to travel anywhere, the food was probably not very good, etc.
Why weren't suicides very common?

Is he the greatest man to ever live, in terms of "most good brought to the most people"? Hundreds of millions of people were raised out of poverty as a result of his leadership. He directly set the path for China's economic boom, whereas previously China had literally been on par with mid level Sub-Sahara African countries.

Not having fighters cover both the low approaches (against torpedo bombers) and the high approaches (against dive bombers). Don't send ALL of your fighters after one group of bombers, especially if it involves losing altitude; it's a lot harder to go back up than it is to go down.

Napoleon was French, therefore not human, therefore not eligible for contention in "best" anything.

Because the G*rms genocided all the ethnic Prussians.

>>According to tradition, it depicts Heraclius (reign 610–641 AD); though this is most unlikely on historical and art-historical grounds. More likely subjects are Theodosius II (reign 408–450 AD), who may have had it erected in Ravenna in 439, Honorius (reign 393–423 AD), Valentinian I (r. 364–375), Marcian (r. 450–457), Justinian I (r. 527–565) and especially Leo I the Thracian (r. 457–474).
What did any of these guys do to "save" the West?

its clearly valentinian i, who managed to pull the west together and was the first to have a peacefully divided empire

Are there any good biographies of Valentinian and valens?

In WW2 I've seen a common estimate of 60 million dead. This is speculated a lot though. Many people argue it's far less than that, too around 20-40. Besides that, what happened to all the bodies of soldiers and civilians who died between 1939-1945? Surely there would be stories every now and then about a hidden battlefield or a mass grave. I hear stories about new bombs and buried tanks being discovered under the mud. If the bodies where cleaned up, where did they go? Where do you put that many dead people?
