The one by George Orwell where he gets ultra-butt-hurt after being backstabbed by Stalinists, leading him to write no less than 2 books about how much he hates Stalin.

They love Jews, the first ever Western mention is from some explorer talking about these Monotheistic people who love the Jews. They supported Zionism from day one, and welcomed the idea of a Jewish revival in Israel, and saw the European Jews as their brethren returning. Although Druze outside of Israel differ, they tend to be patriots and there are some very right-wing, settlement supporting Druze politicians in the Knesset. Pic related is them celebrating after the Jewish victory in 1948.

Was Bomber Harris too kind to the Nazis? Why did he have his bomber forces only use conventional weapons rather than chemical and biological weapons, which would have depopulated Germany?

Okay, so the civil ensign / merchant flag of Austria-Hungary was the "double flag". But in almost every picture from ww1 you always see the black-yellow habsburg / Cisleithania flag, which seems to have been much more common.

Which was the national/official flag of Austria-Hungary? how much was the "double-flag" even used? Was it flown in ~ww1 era and before? What did non Cisleithania area use as flag?

The official flag was the dual flag but the black and gold still saw use. The black and gold was most likely used in Austria and represented Austria alone while the duality flag was probably more known to foreigners.

Now that racism has been making a comeback, when would you say that racism in western society was at an all-time low in the last 100 years?

Motherfucker you are dumb. Racism has only been decreasing throughout the last 100 years (in most of the west anyways). What has been increasing is society's sensitivity and ability to recognize it. There was never a "golden age", shit was just perceived and reported differently.
Also, racism is something that is strongly localized and very specific so you can't really talk about it as a global, or even national concept.

This is a thread made by someone that isn't a regular here so please fuck back off to where you came from.

Is there anything you just find jaw dropping about History?

For me it's the fact that people worshiped imaginary deities and believed in an afterlife for thousands of years.

What a high standard of living ancient romans had. They had central heating, a sewer system, sophisticated streets, foods from all over the world, huge stadiums for sports entertainment, etc., etc.. all they lacked was eletric devices and their life would pretty much look like ours do.

I find it jaw dropping that Roman civilization started so long ago with the Latin League and continues in a completely unbroken chain to this very day.
