What inevitable violent thread were they preemptively striking in self defense against?

You have no rights

the key to happiness is stability
but what in life is actually stable?

>>2277708
The key to happiness is lack of pain, stress, responsibility, deadlines, loss, and such.
You will find things to do, have fun, enjoy yourself, build and create, and work and rest, and companionship and friendship, if left alone.

But you will lose civilization doing that. Which is fine, if happiness is your main concern. Civilization is the enemy of happiness.

Just like the other wars, we won't seek it. It will come to us despite our attempts to avoid it.

will you ever get a chaste virginal waifu? didn't think so

Why? Anyone else would have been tossed to the streets in his condition in those days. He got to live an opulent life without the responsibilities that would normally come with it. Boo fucking hoo.

So the British-Indian Government faced the problem of getting surveys of these dangerous areas in Afghanistan, Tibet, and some parts of Central Asia. This Captain named George Montgomery(If you've read Kim, Montgomery is the inspiration for Colonel Creighton) comes along. He has the brilliant idea of using natives to penetrate these areas. Now it was dangerous for anyone to be found making maps/surveys of these areas, regardless of race. It was just thought that Indians had a better chance of staying hidden since they were more common in these areas.

Now it was time to figure out where these surveyors would come from. It was decided to use people from this clan of Hindus called the Rawats who lived near Tibet. They were a mix of North Indian Rajputs and Tibetans. Rawats had a good understanding of Tibet because an ancestor of theirs helped drive the Chinese out of Mount Kailash and Lake Manasavorar holy places to Buddhists and Hindus alike. They were given more free reign near the usually closed off Tibetan border. They also looked and spoke Tibetan, which would make matters a bit easier for them.

So two people were chosen, Nain and Mani Singh Rawat(they were cousins). They were taken to Dehra Dun, the headquarters of the Survey Of India(A British-Indian Government project that made maps and surveys of the Indian Sub-Continent). They went through 2 years of vigorous training. Some things were easier than others, reading sextants, compasses, and thermometers. Others were more complicated. To determine altitude they boiled water(The lower the boiling temperature, the higher the altitude). They were also trained in having a constant stride length, even when going up steep hills. Nain's was measured to be 31 inches, which meant approximately 2000 steps per mile.

Nain and Mani were put in the disguise of a Buddhist Monk, not an uncommon site in the mountains of Tibet. This gave them a lot of places to store the heavy measuring equipment they needed to hide. One example is the rosary, which was used by the Pundits as a way to measure the distance they had traveled. The Buddhist rosary holds a total of 108 beads on it. Montgomery decided to cut off 8. This would leave an even 100 beads, and the difference in beads was small enough so as to not attract suspicion. Every hundreth pace, the Pundit would slip a smaller bead. Every tenth bead was slightly larger than the rest. These larger beads represented 1000 paces, or roughly half a mile. Since every Pundit had a constant stride length there would be little variation.

The staff of the first Pundits' disguise held thermometers. The prayer wheels held compasses as well as coded notes rather than the usual prayers. A strongbox held their sextants. There were also various hidden pockets in their clothing to hide other objects. The later Pundits would branch out more in their disguises. They would become traders or Muslim pilgrims. They were also heavily trained in the art of lying and cover stories, for any slip of the tongue could mean death. Many would travel for years before returning. Some would never return.

Nain and Mani failed on their first attempt to Tibet. Though Mani would fail on their second attempt, Nain would succeed in reaching Lhasa, being the first person to record it on British Maps. He told accounts of the various crops, and trade routes of Tibet. In total, he traveled 1200 miles. He would be the first person of Asiatic descent to be awarded the gold medal by the Royal Geographic Society.

There's a few other cool stories about the Pundits, but much of it is hidden due to the nature of their job. I'll quote Kim here to get the point across: "We of the Game are beyond protection. If we die, we die. Our names are blotted from the book. That is all."

The soviets were gobbling up east europe at pretty steady rate and the conflict between the ethnic german minority in poland gave him an excuse to build an empire to stop them. Unfortunately it was a poor choice, considering if he waited a few more years he would have significantly more allies (franco) and they would've been at a significantly better economic standing (italian economic miracle of the 50s.)

Shit, if poland was feeling desperate enough they could create right wing european mega-alliance, similar to an uncucked nato.
