Zoot Suit Riots in 1943 California
>White servicemen and civilians attacked and stripped youths who wore zoot suits because the outfits were considered unpatriotic and extravagant during wartime, in which rationing of fabric was required for the World War II war effort.

Eastern Europe has three cultural spheres.

>Germanosphere
Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, partially Poland

>Russosphere
Russia, Ukraine, Belarus

>Turkosphere
Serbia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania

Then there are oddballs like the Baltics which can be classified as both Russosphere and Germanosphere.

>>2529088
Regarding the Baltics, they're trying to avoid Russia and re- allign themselves with the Scandi's so hard.

Isn't the almanac that thing Nicolas Cage was chasing after in National Treasure?

Encyclopedias simply moved on to the internet
And who gives a fuck about map printing industry?

look up godel's incompleteness theorem, everything you said is accepted already.

We communicate using logic. Our brain signals are logical. Our cells are logically structured. Those cells are made up of logical, planned, enzymes and proteins to make humans the most complex machines within billions of miles. Humans are logic. You can't separate humanity from logic, and humanity needs logic to respond to any stimuli. Your question is a non-sequitur, since you used logic to both conceive and ask the question itself.

>>2528304
Accepted? Accepted as what? That you never can prove it?

Generally world leaders dont think like the autists on this board, and thankfully so

Because blood nothings in the world of politics.

>>2528280
Because the real world is more complicated than that. It even has nothing to do with that stupid preposition.

That's not revisionist though. Had the Americans not joined the war effort, the war would have turned into a stalemate and possibly a German victory. Although stalemate was more likely. Once the Russians were out the Germans had a huge advantage, also the French were struggling to hold morale, the whole country almost gave up at Verdun when the Germans took the first fort.

The only reason not to buy the book is that the thesis is not new or particularly interesting.

Was the spring offensive not already petering out by the time Americans arrived in appreciable numbers? That said, that manpower would not be gambled so heavily in said offensive because it was meant as a great effort to secure advantage of not victory before the arrival of the Americans.

It wouldn't change the blockade though, which is more and more critical as time goes on.

Avoid if you are trying to learn about the first world war, if you already know about it read it to challenge your views. I say this as I read his book on Verdun, and well is was revisionist as fuck. He claimed the Americans won the battle of Verdun and that the Germans were winning the battle before they joined. He goes along the lines that the battle was fought to bleed France dry. Most historians today agree that the battle was to take Verdun and that excuse was made up by Falkenhayn after the fact to help cover up the failure. In that book he also is quite contradictory, in one page he talks about how incompetent a French general was because he was an engineer and one and half pages talks about how have a engineer as general was good for the Germans. Dude does this to make America have a stronger direct influence over the war then it did. It tries to say that Verdun was a French defeat and only won by America. There is a lot wrong with his book on Verdun but I will move onto the book your asking about.

When I was researching the inaccuracies in Mosier's book on Verdun I found his has tendency to rewrite history to make America have a larger impact on the thing at large. The book ironically pushes the myth that Germany lost no battles and was not defeated on the battle field. He does this his book on Verdun by claiming that the initial German push in France was aimed at Verdun not Paris. From what I read he uses this to excuse battle of the Marne not as German defeat as they were going to retreat anyway as they goal was not Paris but Verdun. He puts in it in German victory sense as well as they were able to fall back to their "planed line" in good order. Again he claims that Verdun was a German victory until America showed up. He uses the spring offensive as proof of German victory despite it being stopped by French and Commonwealth forces, and all it accomplished was wasting manpower and materials that Germany it did not have.

Yes

Well the whole world used to be like that, but gradually everything improved around India.
