Stalin's army.

BUT, that is only if hasn't killed off all of his genrerals.

Stalemate, if they had 10 years to prepare they would be fortified to such an extent attacking would be useless

The Germans would eventually win though because they would develop a nuclear bomb first

>>1890630
That relies on so many factors it's a question impossible to answer. Given that their nations are entirely equal in this example, it relies on personal leadership exclusively. And both Hitler and Stalin has their full retard moments (ignoring their generals and purging their generals respectively).

"lol"

Well they still had Franco as dictator till the 70s. I'd say they panicked and bunkered down.

Well Congo unraveled from the Africa@war might be a good place to start.

Other than that all of Mike Hoare's books are about 4 bucks on Audible.

the UN refused to help Lumumba quash the separatists so he asked the Soviet Union for help. When he did, it caused a massive rift within his own government who promptly ousted him.

Katanga broke away because Belgian business were frightened that their interests in the mineral rich area would be compromised by Lumumba's highly nationalist and anti-colonialist rhetoric and thus funded and aided a breakaway state who was friendly to Belgium.

>tfw Lumumba was the savior the Congo needed
>tfw he got his independence at the worst possible time for his survival

If only Belgium had given it to him two years earlier, then he would have been able to set the Congo up as neutral in the Cold War.

Wow, shocking

Jewish political assassination thread?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huey_Long

>just moments after the House passed the bill, Pavy's son-in-lawDr. Carl Weiss, a physician from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, approached Long and, according to the generally accepted version of events, fired a handgun at him from four feet away, shooting him in the torso. Long's bodyguards returned fire, killing Weiss instantly.

Long was feared by the Democrats as a contender who would "steal" the election from good goy Roosevelt, Long also was working with Father Charles Coughlin who had voiced outrage at Jewish bankers.

Ok, what's your point?

Libertalia likely never existed. The only source about it is notoriously spurious.

Pirates on the other hand were known to be extremely tolerant towards each other by the standards of the day.

>>1890356
Is it true that quartermasters held most power in a pirate crew? What position did the 'captain' of a ship usually hold in terms of authority?

>>1890441
From my understanding he was elected, and only held onto his position for the length of the job, or as long as he had the support of the crew.

>Could he have done the same with a federation of states ruled by hurka durka Sultans as he did with a city populated by chinks?
no idea

That's like asking if the British could make the whole of China like Hong Kong, or if you could make all of America like Manhattan.

I approve this voluntary transaction!

all I'm going to say is that the shower/grower meme is a lie. if you're small when you're flaccid, you're small when you're erect.

>(current age)/2 + 7

It's the formula passed down from the ancients. It always works.

>>1889986
Did people even know their age in the past?

My mother (who was born in Romania) tells me stories about how her illiterate great grandmother who lived to 104 (which was determined via church records) didn't know her age precisely her whole life. So I'm assuming no.
