Which country has the most boring history? I'm talking about sizeable countries, not meme non-countries like Barbados or Liechtenstein or whatever.

Pic very much related.

The USA

Australia's history is only boring because 90% of Australian history taught to Australians focuses on the exploits and misfortunes of aboriginals.
>>
Australian history has a few interesting events like the Eureka rebellion, but it's pretty dull otherwise.

It's weird how New Zealand has such a vastly interesting colonial period whilst Australia doesn't. Is it due to the Maori just being far better at resisting/dealing with Europeans than aboriginals?

Can we talk about Americas best president, James K Polk?

Lets look at his accomplishments:

>Increased Americas Land Mass by 2/3rds
>Manifest Destiny is only a thing because James K Polk accomplished it
>He took over half of Mexico and gave the shitty part back
>He said he would only serve 1 term as president. served that term, and didn't run again. Died 1 year later, after making America the greatest nation in the world.

James K Polk is severely underrated on Americas Greatest Presidents lists.

Best? He did an alright job, but winning the Mexican war came mostly down to Scott and Taylor. There's nothing that really distinguishes him as one of the better wartime presidents.

> I just learnt who James Polk is

William Henry Harrison was best prez because he had the decency to kill himself and so spare the Republic of his administration

Other cultures/civilizations kept time. You could look at Chinese records and match up dates/events that happened in Europe.

Not just Chinese either.

>>21649
Its a pretty novel concept, although it does kind of cut out a lot of pretty big things and records from outside of there tend to conflict. That's really all I can drum up on it. Perhaps some scientific research could be put towards it with dating and so such.

Would be a kick in the fucking pants wouldn't it?

To be fair it was kind of doomed when even the Crown wasn't behind it anymore. They ended up stranded and in situations like that it really just becomes a matter of time before things break down.

Can we discuss the genocide of Germans that occurred after WW2? Including POWs starved and killed by the allies and the soviets, the ethnic Germans who were purged in the east? As well as those wrongfully executed based on the findings of the kangaroo court known as the Nuremberg trials.

Why aren't we ever taught about this in school?
