They had a lot of shock & awe on their side. The rest of Europe just really didn't want to fight and they were not prepared to fight. WW1 was supposed to be that last war, so when it was over people didn't want to spend money on war anymore. The powers of the world even agreed to stop building any more battleships for a while. People looked back on "The Great War" and said "Never Again! Peace Rules From Now On!" Never again will we send our sons to the trenches to die for their country! Never again!

And so when the Nazis started taking over places, nobody was really sure how to react. People said "Hitler doesn't REALLY want another war does he? Let's just leave him alone, he'll stop soon enough......"

>North America through the ringer
The U.S. mopped the fucking floor with everything sent their way, even the elite divisions sent during the Bulge. The only thing that stood a chance was Metz and that's because the U.S. couldn't realistically do anything about it due to the command structure of the Western Front. Canadian troops were almost solely responsible for the creation of the Falaise Pocket, although it was U.S. troops that closed it. Hell, even the half dozen or so Mexican pilots that made their way to Europe had multiple air kills with no losses. Grossdeutschland didn't stand a chance against North American ubermensch and even hinting at NA being put "through the ringer" is laughable.

The institute of the commissariat in the Red Army wasn't established until 30s, when Stalin was purging the army and wanted to ensure political loyalty of military commanders by appointing party officials as a commissars, who had just as much executive powers as commanders they were working with and were supposed to double check (and possibly veto) everything they did while also monitoring the soldiers. In case of commander's death they were supposed to take their place. I can't say for sure the organisational level where their appointments began, but I'd say divisions and higher all had their own commissars, their hierarchy mirroring commanders they worked with. Indeed they were never trained in the military matters and after WW2 started Stalin quickly realised what a horrible fucking idea it was to throw a wrench into his own warmachine like that. In 1942, after Stalingrad, the institute of commissariat was reformed and commissars were rebranded as "politruks" - political supervisors. They were still supposed to monitor the soldiers, but no longer had any executive power when it came to actual tactical and strategical decisions.

Interesting. SO what exactly was Trotsky when he led the Red Army? What kind of influence did he have when it came down to Strategic and Tactical matters? He had no formal training so I just wonder how he so successfully was able to win in the Civil War

>>1913053
He was a revolutionary, those seldom have much formal military training. Reds were able to win because very few people actually liked Whites (being privileged elites who fought to bring their absurd privileges back), having support of western powers isn't enough if the local population doesn't want any of your shit. Also there were many Imperial Army officers who defected to Reds and helped out with the war, Trotsky was more of a moral support and a political motivator.

Better question:
In what did General Atomics fight in? Pacific Theater?

>>1912602
Don't forget General Motors and General Electric. Somehow they managed to fight in WWI, WWII, Korea AND Vietnam.

How long has General Hospital been around? Shouldn't he be dead? What about General Mayhem, there was a fighter. I thought he burned out young?

Well, in the case of Egypt, both Greeks and Nubians reigned for some time.

Both groups tend to exaggerate this fact though.

>>1912540
So did Africans didn't they? Atleast for a century.

From what I know- Egyptians weren't as exclusive with race as we are now. They liked to fuck everyone.

How are they Arab if they're indigenous to the Nile? Arabs were roaming the Arabian peninsula when the Egyptians were at their height. The Arabs invaded later under Islam and the Coptic Christians are all that's left of the ancient Egyptian people.

He just presents three verses. Doesn't explain the context of the verse, when it was revealed, the background of the chapter its in, and most importantly any corresponding exegesis. Then again, he's a Christian apologist. That's what apologists don't do.

Grain was about the only thing Russia could actually export at the time. USSR was hit with heavy embargoes due to being commie and all of that. So Stalin decided that supporting the economy and kickstarting the industrialization was more important than lives of those people.

When people in the country are hungry, they just starve.

When people in the cities are hungry, they riot and burn things.

The quality of the legion plummeted when all inhabitants of the roman empire were granted citizenship. Traditionally, inhabitants of conquered territories would have to gain citizenship by serving in the legion. There was a lot less motivation to join the legion.

>>1911827
Is that a major factor? It seems like it would be a great factor in the decline of the empire, but that doesn't mean that is was a patriotism thing

I am incline to believe that patriotism is what held Rome together, but I'm not certian
