I'm interested in Archimedes heat ray.

1862 Japanese Americans died in internment. Most of them from sicknesses related to old age.

Funnily enough, 5981 people were born in internment.

>>300318
Their living conditions were terrible compared to how most people get to live and what they were used to, but not as bad as the living conditions of those in concentration camps in Europe, or Soviet gulags. It doesn't surprise me that some of them got sick and died. Thanks for telling me the answer to that, I'm somewhat surprised someone here knew.

>>300348
Additionally, some four thousand young Japanese Americans were let out of internment to attend colleges. Obviously the conditions in the camps were bad, and the whole thing an injustice, but they really shouldn't be even mentioned in the same sentence as German or Soviet ones.

Probbably was a different strain from the one the was discoverred in china. The main difference is the propagation, the Black death discover in china was really slow in comparison whit the one that fuck up Europe. Also they have sustancial genetic difference. Finally the symtons don't match whit ebola at all. Ebola is an hemorragic infection, the balck dead was not .

Scandinavia is a big place, big enough to have separate entities. When you look at Italy, it's sort of obvious that it should be one country, the same with the general Germany region. But the Scandi nations have been separate for centuries and generally across geographical lines. Finland is on its own, Denmark is a peninsula of its own, only Norway and Sweden could possibly merge and they do have a closer history but they are generally separated by a mountain range, well, Norway is the mountain range, Sweden is the flatter part.

Why do people keep lumping Finland with Scandinavia? They're not even in the same linguistic family.

He had a certain sense of machismo style, both in fashion and in action, which doesn't make sense for many people outside of the Italian context of the teens, twenties and thirties.

That's a better question. Good work.

Given equivalent Anglophone countries that went through less formal apartheid, like Queensland, New South Wales, the Northern Territory, or Victoria much of the happenstance of the era still would have gone on with a nod and a wink from a blind bat. Probably a greater "anti-communist" angle too with everyone knowing exactly what communism meant.

Of course this wouldn't happen. Had the Crown or the Crown's representative illegally blocked apartheid or a vote by parliament / referenda for a republic you'd see the Rhodesian solution of a parliamentary coup, and then an apartheid in law or fact anyway.

Bonapartism is the synthesis of monarchy and revolution. The ultimate solution to the illnesses of our time.

Napoleon was far above and beyond a mere saviour of the revolution. He in fact saved the entire world, the world simply hasn't realized it just yet.

Fuck this guy.

The French have, since the end of the Hundred Years War, consistently been overwhelmingly strong in terms of military and economy. This never actually stopped. Even after WW2 they were still fighting for colonies. The dumb myth that the French are cowards is American because they didn't support the Afghanistan/Iraq interventions, and didn't join the coalitions. Now something bad happens to France and all of a sudden the government has their élan back and goes straight into bombing shit.

>he French seem to have been pretty badass but what the fuck happened? Today they are a bunch of faggot baguette eating pussies.
Near every thread about othwer nationalities like this is posted by an American, by some fat walt that takes some sort of personal pride in the achievements of others that share their nationality.
>I just saw Vikings, they were hella cool, what happened?

Didn't touch the whole world. The majority of Asia and Africa weren't involved, unlike in WW1 and WW2, where they were either massively involved (China, Japan, Ottoman Empire) or involved via colonial proxy (India, African colonies, Islamic world).

Am I remembering right that the Seven Years War was very important in that it caused or led to the American and thd French Revolutions? And rippling on to Napoleon, the new country USAs actions and so on.

I truly do not see Pakistan surviving another century or so given its volatile support and terrorist sponsored activities against both Iran and India which surround it on either side.

Its creation was a mistake.
