The race riots of 1967-68 helped Nixon win.
Typically, riots cause people to vote for somebody that will piss off the rioters, because fuck you rioters.

I'll start with WW2 Italy, specifically their navy.
>Between June 1940 and September 1943, in the Mediterranean theater: the British sank 161,200 tons of warship tonnage, the Italians sank 145,800 tons, the Germans sank 169,700 tons
>"Over the course of thirty-six months, 2.67 million tons of materiel, fuel, and munitions were shipped to Africa—nearly all in Italian vessels and under Italian escort—and 2.24 million tons arrived... Even during the decisive months of July and August 1942, prior to Rommel’s last offensive, with ULTRA in full effect, with Malta basing offensive forces, critical supply ports within easy striking distance of Egyptian airfields, and submarines operating from Haifa, Malta, and Gibraltar, more than 85 percent of materiel dispatched from European ports reached Africa."
>while the British were all but forced to sail around Cape of Good Hope to deliver supplies, resulting in a net loss of millions of tons that could've been shipped to Africa
>the only conclusive squadron-sized engagements between RN and RM in the Mediterranean theater were Cape Matapan (British victory) and Operation Vigorous (Italian victory).
>if we just count all actions in which major warships took part, then there are Taranto (British victory, two Italian battleships sunk on crippled) and Alexandria (Italian victory, two British battleships crippled).
>During day battles, and throughout all of 1942, the Regia Marina inflicted more damage than it suffered.
>Italian subs stationed in the Atlantic sunk 594,000 tons of shipping for the loss of 17 subs, giving them a similar effectiveness to German subs in the same period

Man the Italian navy was pretty cool, they should have pressed the advantage they had when they crippled those British battleships in Alexandria when they had the chance. That and they should have risked them instead of running away to protect them when they could have done much more.
Littorios were easily the most aesthetic battleship of them all.

The Italian battleships were pretty useless desu, they just got bombed. They got a lot more utility out of their smaller ships.

It helped that RM was not split up into 10 different forces trying to cover the 5 oceans.

I took some pics from work. They were poorly lit so I only kept like fifteen images then pilfered archive server for other pics.
I got more than 150, though not by much. A lot of jewelry...actually I may cut a significant chunk of the Afghani jewelry, pic related, because the files are generally fuckhuge and I don't feel like resizing each one, I've already tinkered with with these enough for one day.
Aside from the Afghani stuff we've got some old opera gowns, stuff from Papua New Guinea, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Tibet, and Vietnam, with the pics from my shit tablet interspersed. I'll try to say something about each set of things, but I doubt every item needs comment and I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of our collection.
I hope you enjoy.

I have been raised a Roman Catholic, however that church frustrated me and drove me from Christianity. I'm wondering if anyone would recommend joining one of the Anglican Churches? If not can you recommend any decent church for someone raised with Catholicism but has grown tired with it's shit?

Study the word. We live in an age where we have so many tools at our disposal. You have every translation available to you and a lot of great ministries on YouTube etc. Hold/huge churches have special interests. I recommend learning as much as you can and getting a little study together or joining a local one that's already around

Just found out that the people of Easter Island had invented a writting system, share some little know or undecifered writting system:
In 1868 the Bishop of Tahiti, Florentin-Étienne "Tepano" Jaussen, received a gift from the recent Catholic converts of Easter Island. It was a long cord of human hair, a fishing line perhaps, wound around a small wooden board covered in hieroglyphic writing. Stunned at the discovery, he wrote to Father Hippolyte Roussel on Easter Island to collect all the tablets and to find natives capable of translating them.
The Bishop questioned the Rapanui wise man, Ouroupano Hinapote, the son of the wise man Tekaki [who said that] he, himself, had begun the requisite studies and knew how to carve the characters with a small shark's tooth. He said that there was nobody left on the island who knew how to read the characters since the Peruvians had brought about the deaths of all the wise me

As European-introduced diseases and raids by Peruvian slavers, including a final devastating raid in 1862 and a subsequent smallpox epidemic, had reduced the Rapa Nui population to under two hundred by the 1870s, it is possible that literacy had been wiped out by the time Eyraud discovered the tablets in 1866.
the pieces of wood were no longer of any interest to the natives who burned them as firewood or wound their fishing lines around them!

The funy thing be that dem people had that al writen on wood know what im saying imagine other ancient cultures did that shit on wood thousands of years ago no one would know they wrote too and now we be thinking they illiterate or sum shit

If Germans invested the funds into army, they would've almost certainly won.
KM didn't play any role relevant to the outcome of war. Plus there was little hope of Germany, a continental power sandwiched between Russia and France, ever competing with UK, an island nation and a trading empire.

>If Germans invested the funds into army, they would've almost certainly won.
How? They already had the most powerful army in Europe at that point. What should they have done in addition and how would they even motivate it to the tax payer?
Germany could have won the two fronts war against France and Russia but not against France, Russia, Britain and America - even with a larger army.
Also, they had no wish to "compete" with the UK. All they wanted was a navy that was just large enough that an attack on them would have been too costly. Tirpitz' fleet had defensive purposes, it was never meant to be larger than the Royal Navy.

Why was El Salvador's civil war in the 1980's so violent? It left about 90,000 people dead or vanished out of a population of less than 5 million, with the worst of the violence occurring between 1981 and 1989. And to top it off, it ended inconclusively, with a peace treaty in the early 90's.
What was the point of the war (beyond just "GOMMIES!!!"), and why did it become so intense?

The ARENA government used a ton of scorched Earth tactics, shelling whole villages until they were completely destroyed, and straight up massacres. So that accounts for a lot dead right there.
This tactics, meant to scare people away from fighting, just galvanized more people to taking up armed resistance so you had a perpetual cycle there and neither side had any real incentive to stop. ARENA was still being funded and supported by the American government and they didn't want to give up power and the FMLN hadn't achieved their goals and continued to receive funding from Russia and China so they kept going. The early ARENA actions also meant that the FMLN felt justified in doing similar. Both sides had death squads.
The length of the war contributed to the body count as well.

Well it was all about countering communist influence. Just like Vietnam, except this time it was in America and the CIA wasn't going to allow this in their backyard.

Your memes aside communists are usually extremely brutal in their attempts to overthrow governments. Look at the Chinese and Russian civil wars.
