In the end everything really boils down to three things. Money, Race and Religion

>Can we all agree
I doubt it. On anything.

Is anything America did back then related to the Southeast Asia pivot that Obama's Administration has been on about lately?

>Laos
What are they? Have they participated or accomplished anything of note outside of being a marching path for NVA?

>>992459
why did you study boring history instead of interesting history?

I mean, to be fair, Russia is still a shithole, so that wouldn't be saying much.

>Was life in the USSR really AS BAD as it's portrayed in the west?
Yes.

>My mom keep insisting that all things considered, people generally lived happier and more fulfilling/satisfying lives under socialist rule, at least in the urban regions.
Unfortunately, your mother has bought into either Stalin's propaganda or leftist revisionism. How old is she?

>>992352
Firstly, clarify how "AS BAD" you are talking about.

Secondly, USSR was a very diverse country when it came to quality of life. Baltic republics were good, Moscow was good, republican capitals were okay but shit like small towns in central Russia was stuff of nightmares, as far as I know.

Captain Blackladder, petty captain Percy and the shoeless brute O'Balders are mistaken for French war hero's and promptly given high courtier functions at the French court.

The short one is a huge brown-noser to his higher ups and treats his company like shit. The captain has been to battle many times and is a level headed wise man. The Irishman is the fool, a drunk, a comedic relief character. However he is incredibly strong. This trio of men who would likely never have met now have to run a campaign against........ You guessed it. The Turks.

I don't know what you mean by groundbreaking, but the wars in Yugoslavia are rarely ever talked about and they are pretty much irrelevant to anyone living outside those countries. Which I find kind of sad because there was a lot of misery and suffering during those times that noone remembers, then again maybe it is better to forget.

Not too many people have heard of the Magna Carta which was a charter agreed upon by KIng John of England in 1215. The Magna Carta (Great Charter) essentially laid down what we know today as, "Rule of Law." Some of the physical document we have today is damaged but there are sections on the right of a fair trial, justice by jury and other civil liberties. Not only did it change Europe but it affected the entire world as parts of the document have been echoed in The United States Bill of Rights, The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the ECHR. I would say that not many people today know about it, but within the legal community it is treated as the holy grail.

I'm interesting in books that try to predict the collapse of civilizations. Is there anything like Spengler?

>>980700
Great article on Spengler:

Bagration.

>>978055
Good choice.
It's kind of funny because Bagration started at the same date as Barbarossa and not only was it successful unlike Barbarossa, it pretty much destroyed Germany as a fighting power in the East. Kinda like what Barbarossa was meant to do to Soviets.

Portugal is a meme propped up by Britain for geopolitical reasons, sort of like Belgium
