With the #SevenYearsWar completed and France already expelled from North America, the #QuarteringAct — passed on #ThisDayInHistory in 1765 — was a solution without a problem. It did, however, give to the American Colonies an issue to inspire indignity and revolutionary ferment.

Since learning about this #fort (Castillo) when I was a college student, it became my favorite in the western hemisphere. The way that it rises from the rock with its imposing walls, dry moats, and firing positions in all directions always stood out to me.

The harbor of #havana was also full of people fishing both from shore and from boats, some of which were homemade using blocks to old styrofoam. In some cases, we even saw people spear fishing.

⬆️ Nothing happened to #NeverAgain. The premise was faulty.

#Peace can last for 3 gen max ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111422166868911181

#GreatWar to "end all wars" did not end all wars. Led to #WWII in < a generation.

#FirstWorldWar was not the first global war.

#ThirtyYearsWar in #Europe spilt into #Dutch–#Portuguese War stretching to #Brazil, #Africa, #India, #China, & #EastAsia.

#SevenYearsWar was also global in scope

Even in Mahabharata, Krishna allegedly said, "yada yada hi…," not "Never Again!"
