Opened up reactions with china, which is a big fucking deal. He was a strong president but his paranoia was too much for him.

Nixon was the last Republican president to care for the average joe. He founded the EPA and brought in work safety standards. The only reason he was vilified was that he kept the Vietnam War going till he got the ceasefire South Nam wanted and the new press needed a scapegoat to justify their existence.

That, and that thing where he had a group of thugs illegally wiretap the DNC HQ. Singlehandly destroying any remaining public trust in the Federal government.

Yugoslavia originally signed the Tripartite treaty allying herself with the Axis powers in March 25, 1941.

Eternal Anglo instigated a coup, and the government was overthrown by Pro-Western factions in the military on March 27, 1941.

To defeat communism? The Soviet Union was a powerful threat to the US.

Because the US did not yet have the capacity to manufacture nukes at a fast enough rate to obliterate the Soviet Union; most wargames of 'Operation Unthinkable' play out with a Soviet victory/stalemate even after several atomic bombs have been dropped.

Furthermore, the US - the west in general - was incredibly war-weary. Truman would have been committing electoral suicide if he started another war.

Uneducated opinion, but probably easy since the italian people came out having swapped sides and the german gov't(s) was different too.

>>963428
You're saying the the italian people hanging Mussolini themselves helped?
Why did the italians hang Mussolini while the Germans had no mass revolt?

>>963437
They didn't have allied forces to help the uprising I guess.

>>963310

Did you look for Sufi saints? Also, traditionally Muslims accepted saints and their miracles of Christians and sometimes Sikhs, making pilgrimages to their shrines as well.

>>962833
I've come across some vague claims about Sufis, but it was a pain in the ass to find anything substantial. Furthermore, I didn't know how accurately it reflected orthodox Islam since Sufism is met with such controversy in the religion.

Also, what are some Christian and Sikh miracles Islam accepts?

>>962858
>orthodox Islam
Until modern times, there wasn't so much orthodox Islam as a small top layer of orthodox legal traditions and the masses influenced mostly by Sufi mysticism and local syncretism.

You'll have to ask your local Sufi lodge for examples. There's an online Sufi wiki as well that might help.

a total nutcase, lead poisoning probably

Seems pretty based.

This. One of Russia's best rulers. Only mistake he did was killing his dynasty.

Ask >>>/k/ about the latest in body armor.

Yes, the development hasn't stopped.

>>960539

Again? Soldiers wear armour now.

>>960539
I guess we certainly would. It may just have another shape, a shape we don't use till now

They had good relations with the Confederacy. If they attacked from Canada things would have gotten interesting desu. I wonder if the Confederacy would have accepted British entry into the war

>>957299

Well, Britain was going to ally with the south but I seem to recall Russia being like "IF ANYONE DOES ANYTHING TO HELP THEM I WILL FUCK YOU UP"

Maybe I'm wrong about that, but for some reason that is coming to mind.

On which side? for the Confeds who had a shit load of cheap cotton to sell to the industrial powerhouse of the world, or for the Union who were abolishing the very thing they'd spent the last 50 years destroying?

Explain that pic, OP

Team Marius till the day I die

Sulla. Fuck the plebs

Both are equally good and equally shitty. Marius saved the republic from shitskins in North Africa and Cimbri and Tuetone-fucking shits in Cisalpine Gaul, and made the Roman army nearly unparalleled for over 120 years with his reforms. Sulla defeated Mithirdates VI, the greatest general Rome had faced since Hannibal.

Marius was an insane gloryhound who massacred hundreds of civilians when he retook Rome. Sulla was a faggot who raised conscription lists because he was a dick.

Pick your poison. At least Augustus was super duper talented despite being an asshole.
