>During World War I he served on the staff of Vice Admiral Henry T. Mayo, the Commander in Chief, Atlantic Fleet. As such, he was a frequent visitor to the Royal Navy and occasionally saw action as an observer on board British ships. It appears that his Anglophobia developed during this period, although the reasons are unclear.
>King's critics attribute the delay in implementing these measures to his Anglophobia, as the convoys and seaboard blackouts were British proposals, and King was supposedly loath to have his much-beloved U.S. Navy adopt any ideas from the Royal Navy. He also refused, until March 1942, the loan of British convoy escorts when the Americans had only a handful of suitable vessels.
>King was adamant that naval operations against Japan remain 100% American, and angrily resisted the idea of a British naval presence in the Pacific at the Quadrant Conference in late 1944, citing (among other things) the difficulty of supplying additional naval forces in the theatre (for much the same reason, Hap Arnold resisted the offer of RAF units in the Pacific). In addition, King (along with Marshall) had continually resisted operations that would assist the British agenda in reclaiming or maintaining any part of her pre-war colonial holdings in the Pacific or the Eastern Mediterranean.
>General Hastings Ismay, chief of staff to Winston Churchill, described King as:
>tough as nails and carried himself as stiffly as a poker. He was blunt and stand-offish, almost to the point of rudeness. At the start, he was intolerant and suspicious of all things British, especially the Royal Navy; but he was almost equally intolerant and suspicious of the American Army.

>His hazardous march out of Burma and his bluntly honest assessment of the disaster captured the imagination of the American public: "I claim we got a hell of a beating. We got run out of Burma and it is humiliating as hell. I think we ought to find out what caused it, go back and retake it.". Stilwell's derogatory remarks castigating the ineffectiveness of what he termed Limey forces, a viewpoint often repeated by Stilwell's staff, did not sit well with British and Commonwealth commanders. It was well known among the troops that Stilwell's disdain for the British was aimed toward those high command officers that he saw as overly stuffy and pompous.

A: He didn't do ass to mouth impaling, he had an unusual chest method. The reason for which is most likely because of him and his brother Radu being given to Turks in their youth by his bitchboi dad. There's no explicit records that affirm nor deny if the boys were mistreated but Radu ended up getting railed daily by Mehmed and became his consort so the possibility that Vlad suffered attempted rape while in the care of the Turks is highly possible. That'd traumatize a lot of people in the long run.
B: To scare the shit out of his foes. He didn't have the numbers, he didn't have the weapons, he had nothing that could combat a full on Turk invasion. He won a good few battles with tactics then had every Turk killed/captured impaled to make a forest of the impaled. So when Mehmed arrived and saw that shit, all his troops got scared as fuck that they'd be next. The massive morale damage, the fear struck into their hearts, is likely why Vlad was able to keep his reign going as long as he did.
C: There's alot of power in a reputation. He won both praise from some and fear from others. Becoming The Impaler is what took Vlad from impressive status to literally-everyone-has-heard-of-him tier.
He wasn't mad, he just knew that protecting your people means you sometimes have to do dark things.

Everything he did, he did for his God and for his country. At the behest of the Chilean Parliament. And he created the richest country in South America as a result.
Wealth matters. Fewer kids dead of starvation, malnutrition, disease, lack of medicine. It means hope and potential realised. Chile today is a country that looks to the future with hope. And if achieving that needed some free helicopter rides for a handful of rabble rousers, wasn't it worth it?

>We all know about the Sicilian Mafia
But people really don't. They assume you're talking about the American Mafia. An understandable mistake as its composed entirely of Sicilian descendants. But while Lucky Luciano's commission and the Five Families grew into "This thing of ours" that we all know and despise today, the Sicilian Mafia (as in from, operating in, and still based in Sicily) still exists and still operates in America despite its more famous offshoot. They don't share the American Mafia's taboo about narcotics, favor car bombs over gunmen, and consists of Sicilians from Sicily as opposed to Italian Americans. Over the past century, they and La Cosa Nostra have had the occasional gang war or two just to remind people that they are very separate organizations.
Anybody know of a good book about Sicilian Mafia involvement in the US? I can't find much info. Even more than their domestic counterparts, they seem to value secrecy and silence.

Help me. I desire to learn more about German scholars of the humanities in the 19th century and early 20th century. Disciplines like History, Archeology, Classical Studies, Theology, Religious Studies, Sociology and so on. Is there any overview books about the matter or does anyone have a list of works/scholars I ought to read?

That's a lot of subjects. You're probably better off reading a book introducing you on the subject, or even watch something on youtube.
The big names in sociology during that era is Marx and Weber. These should be decent videos on it.

HELLO.
HOW ACCURATE ARE THESE EQUIVALENCES?:
CONTUBERNIUM = SQUADRON.
CENTURY = PLATOON.
COHORT = COMPANY.
LEGION = DIVISION.

Hey there, Ray, how was your day? How's your neck doing?
>SQUADRON
It's "squad", squadron is used for vehicles (including the live ones). It's more or less correct, but IIRC the Roman one was only a thing in the rear to organize soldiers into gangs; on the battlefield it did not had any tactical autonomy.
>CENTURY
"Centuria", otherwise correct.
>COHORT
That would be battalion
>LEGION
Not really, there was nothing above legion for the romans. Also I'm not sure whatever the auxiliaries were part of the legion or not.

As an American, this really rings true. Prove me wrong, protip you can't.
"Europe always called for contract-oriented societies, liberal politics and democratic governments. Asia always called for despots, empires, and strict social codes."

Here is your ((you))

What about the Tokugawa-era in Japan? The reign of emperor Meiji? It is true, that he followed 'western ways' but these two still defy your "always". They were not real despots.
For your information, there were a couple of empires in Europe, that were ruled by the emperor's unlimited power. If that is what you would call despotism, there you go. For example, in Germany, during the second world war, there was a man, with an easily recognisable moustache. Would he stand for your understanding of a despot?
We could call the European view on the value of one's life a strict social code aswell. Chivalry was a strict social code too, I don't even know what you are trying to say here, I simply cannot find any sense in your statement.
