Worked at the National Railroad Museum as a tour guide intern for one summer a few years ago. Enjoyed the experience and I got to tour the place. I wouldn't say its the best one I've been too, I've been to a few museums,

Probably my favorite one was the National World War I Museum and Memorial.

A single squadron is 12 fighters. No, that wouldn't be nearly enough to tip the scales you colossal fucking retard, especially since the objectives necessary to either support a sealion or bomb Britain into submission probably couldn't have been met if the Brits offered no resistance in the air whatsoever.

lots of theories
1) revenge for the burning of the acropolis of athens
2) he got drunk
3) perhaps it happened as a ritual to indicate a change of king

>Liberius was therefore immediately summoned to Byzantium, Eudaemon urging this step vigorously, and the Senate, making a determination of the facts in the case, acquitted the man on the ground that the outrage had occurred while he was not an aggressor, but was acting in self-defence.

>But the Emperor did not drop the matter until he had punished him by a fine of money, imposed secretly.

What the fuck man? What was his fucking problem?

After reading all this, I no longer feel pity for them. I used to land them as Henry I in CK2 HIP. Now I'm just gonna let them die out.

It was if you were under Austrian rule, the Hungarians were more repressive..

Bottom the list of European powers I would've liked to have been born into. The only one further below it is Russia.

It was exactly the opposite

It was autism incarnate. Born in Autism (HRE), Lived in Autism, and died in autism (WWI).

Spain should retake it, and all of the Africans can emigrate there instead of mainland Europe

Western Sahara.
The only people that live there are nomads there's no reason why Morocco shouldnt own it.

I read a ton of greek mythology when I was young and never heard of this. How could they miss that ?

Is it really an hour? Or does he spend half the time talking about Harry's high quality German razors?

I'll give it a listen. I want to pre-order the book to support him but the description talking about how it has relevance to our own modern day makes me extremely leery that he'll keep trying to draw modern political parallels which would be an instant turn off for me to actually read. Maybe listening to that episode will put me at ease though.

From the chapter he read, it's more "these are things that happened, these are their consequenses, I'll leave it to you draw any conclusions." it's very old school history of Rome, just longer.

OP, here.

I'm researching for my undergraduate honor's thesis. My topic is how Japanese racial theory was reflected in Manchuria during its 13 years as an "independent" country.

Anyways, I've actually kind of realized I am lacking in the primary source department and was wondering if /his/ had any tips for Japanese newspaper archives that don't have a paywall or other good primary sources to look at in regards to the Japanese in Manchuria. I can read Japanese well so English or Japanese texts are alright.

Do your own research

Takes a crazy, competent, or crazy competent man to be in Mao's inner circle for 40 years and not even have a hint of suspicion thrown at him. Indeed, Mao had people purged for doubting Zhou Enlai.
