>be Nazi Germany in 1940
>create combat outfit composed of thugs and criminals "convicted of major crimes such as premeditated murder, rape, arson and burglary"
>"terrifying rabble" of "cut-throats, renegades, sadistic morons, and cashiered rejects from other units"
>unit turns out to be an almost comical band of fuckups who were kicked out of every major field command they were assigned to and whose most noteworthy achievement was sadism and brutality that appalled even the most notorious architects of the Holocaust
>be Louisiana in 1861
>create combat outfit composed of “the lowest scum of the lower Mississippi...adventurous wharf rats, thieves, and outcasts...and bad characters generally”
> the worst men I ever saw…. I understand that they are mostly wharf rats from New Orleans, and Major Wheat is the only man who can do anything with them. They were constantly fighting with each other. They were always ready to fight, and it made little difference to them who they fought.”
>unit turns out to be one of the best in the Confederate Army, earning a legendary reputation for being utterly fearless and hard-fighting, becoming the Army of Northern Virginia's premiere shock troops alongside the Stonewall and Texas Brigades
Where did we get it so right where the Krauts got it so wrong?
Did they fear the Southern Warrior?

2 very different classes of criminal, the Dirlewanger Brigade were men who did evil without material incentive, the Louisiana Tigers were men pushed to "evil" due to being desperately poor.

What we should really be asking ourselves is what would happened if a nine month pregnant Anne Frank mysteriously teleported into the middle of a Confederate Army camp of Louisiana Tigers?
Would they be courtly Southern gentlemen and take her to meet General Lee? Sing Bonnie Blue flag and Rose of Alabamy by the campfire with her? Share their sweet tea and hardtacks with her? Teach her to do the Rebel Yell?

How powerful was Irag on the eve of the first gulf war? I've heard that they wanted to conquer Saudi Arabia, is this true?

They were like the fourth largest military on earth.
As it turns out, the size of their military forces was mitigated by their blistering incompetence.
This being said, they probably would have won a fight against England + France.

They had just come out of the Iran-Iraq War, so they had tons of military equipment, but they were also militarily exhausted.
As for conquering Saudi Arabia, it's not a crazy idea. They had just tried to conquer Iran and had successfully conquered Kuwait. Hussein liked to LARP as Nebuchudnezzar (sp?).

If world history were a stage, and the nations its characters, who do you think would be the protagonists and antagonists? For me, I think France is the hero.

France would be an old man past his prime, that's for sure. Prussia/Germany would be the villain that has to hide under the stage until the end, just to pop out and surprise everybody.

The Jews are the protagonist. You literally can't refute this.

Anglos are most definitely the protagonists of history, their guiding light brought civilization to every corner of the earth.

Why do they always add the "Judeo" when talking about Christian values? Why not just Christian values?
What bond does Judaism share with mainstream Christianity that it doesn't also possess with Gnosticism, Islam, or any of the rest?

Christianity is the sequel to the Judeo one.

xDDDD such a simple analogy to explain a difficult concept. you and i, brother, we could teach these kids some things. ;)
Is there anything Portugal could have done militarily to prevent losing Goa to the Indians? If they had more time to prepare would they be able to fortify themselves better and perhaps draw support from other nations to aid in their defense?

Nope. The Portuguese feared the Poo warrior.

Doubtful. India's population has always been immensely larger than Portugal's, and Portugal wasn't a major power at that time.

...Of-course.
Wessex was the most valuable and important Earldom, why would he usurp the line of cerdic and not take their prime real-estate.
He appointed Godwin to run the joint who did nothing wrong btw.
The questions i like is who controlled places like cornwall? The isle of man and the welsh frontier?
