Yo professor, which Falkland Islands you talking about?
Steve Rizzo - The Falkland Islands
I couldn't find a good version of this video anywhere else on YouTube, so here you go.
Are you talking 'bout the Malvinas?
SquorlpleAll I got was Star Wars
The galactic civil war…
My sheet says “rome”
Uh oh
PugJesus“So, what’s Rome’s history like?”
“It’s all war.”
Republic or Empire?
Western.
Not gonna lie my eyes glaze over a bit at the byzantium complexity
I’ve got class war, which is a real doozy.
Yooo same.
Why the fuck don’t these people just fuck off and relax? I can’t imagine having that much money and still feeling like I have to go to work.
Because at some point after the first few million you turn into a dragon that must hoard wealth and the people that generate that wealth become a cost to minimize.
ClinicallydepressedpoochieBarf, after my first million they better be looking all weer for me cause ima be peaces out to a 100 year vacation.
When I’m a BBW billionaire, I’m going to fund so much tasteless art. And by art I mean mostly pornography.
Old and busted: class war
New hotness: culture war
rnercle32⁉️
make it 80!
100 if they can
100 years war
Chefdano3The machine give me the Horus Herasy. I can confirm it was right.
There are 64 books in the Horus Heresy.
I got Brood.
The seven years war is fantastic and is utterly critical to understanding the US Revolution as well as understanding how the Iroquois pulled a power move on the other first nations that worked, but later led to the current situation with first nations in North America.
On the revolution: Namely that corruption was so endemic in the colonies that when the UK actually started to do something about it the revolution happened albeit with a lot of pushing from the upper crust of the colonies.
Fun couterfactual to consider: how many MPs would “the colonies” have needed to blunt popular support for the revolution?
Probably can’t go very high, but maybe one per charter? If not that high (Scotland only had 45, I think), then what would have been enough “representation” to preclude the American elites from making a compelling case, or what paths to personal status would have tempted enough of them that there wouldn’t have been a critical mass of will and resources?
The British colonized the Americas, particularly North America, very differently than Spain and France did, but didn’t seem to think of the purpose or integration of colonies as any different.
TIL:
It is now believed that the Ottoman military was able to maintain rough parity with its rivals until the 1760s, falling behind as a consequence of a long period of peace on its western front between 1740 and 1768, when the Ottomans missed out on the advances associated with the Seven Years’ War.[66]
The UK trying to section off an Indian reserve as a buffer state after the French and Indian War was 100% a cause of the Revolution. Also the UK trying to step in and say “no, you are not allowed to purchase all of Kentucky from one random person.”
Funny how that’s never talked about in K-12 history. Or even undergrad. It’s all about those nasty taxes (after spending how much on troops to kill Indians who kinda had every reason to be pissed off?)
But which civil war…
Fat TonyThe one about slavery. I mean state rights. I mean Northern Aggression.
Oh, I though they meant Syria or Sudan or something.
The proper term now is War of the Demonic Democrats Despite Against the Party of Lincoln and Trump
skillissuerSecond Sudanese Civil War of course (1983-2005)
Guns ‘N’ Roses
Civil waooaoaooor!
- George Templeton Strong.
Huh. “Galactic Civil War” and “War of the Ring.”
Neat. Wizards in both!
Galactic Civil War
First or second?
AFallingAnvilI don’t think he knows about the second galactic civil war, PIp
I got the Cola Wars
Rob T FireflyAs a traumatized veteran of the Cola Wars, I eventually decided to drop out entirely and become a tea drinker.
Miles O'BrienYou know, I don’t think there’s a single war I Care about more than any other…
Now technological era, on the other hand… I’m a sucker for anything from Europe/Mediterranean coast from the 1200s-1500s.
And who doesn’t love exploring early human history from Gobekli Tepe to Ur.
Fascinating stuff.
I participated in the war on drugs…
On the winning side, I imagine.
ShaggySnacksBy winning, you meantaking copious amounts of drugs?
Buying, selling, using, abusing, growing, extracting, synthesizing, losing, hiding, educating, discarding, withdrawing, etc.
I think so, it’s all a haze.
I got The Late Night Wars. I’m on Team Coco, obviously.
FilthyShroomsMine just says WW3, should I be concerned?
VoyajerSo much to learn, we don’t even know how it ends yet
Hell yeah, I got the Dominion War. Time for another DS9 rewatch.
I got the Emu War
Don’t let that obsession drag you down under.
The seven year war, which is what the rest of the world calls the French Indian war should actually have been called World War One.
It was also started by an incompetent 22 year old George Washington being sent out in his first command who ignored the equivalent of the sergeant put in charge of the new lieutenant advice and executed a French person he shouldn’t have.
The taxes that started the revolutionary war? Those were to pay the war debts on the seven year war. Dude literally led an army to avoid paying the consequences of his actions.
EDIT: it’s also possible to draw “ALL WARS”
In the Pays d’en Haut Anglo settlers were moving in, French forts were rapidly expanding and militarizing, and both colonial powers were jockeying for Indigenous allies and exclusive trade partners. And in Acadia the oaths issue was still unresolved and considerable swaths of the country that France ‘ceded’ to Britain was under the control of the French-allied Mik’maq and Wabenaki.
Another war was inevitable, Washington just lit the powderkeg.
I fought in the Cola Wars as a member of Dr Pepper’s insurgency
WWI was objectively the most world changing and sets the stage for the entire modern era, if you squint WWII was just the Extended Edition of WWI all that being said WWIII was still my favorite.
TroyWar of the Roses, winner of Best Named War ;)
The Great Emu War would like a word.
I missed the memo. I am just generally anti war and don’t like reading about them. War is all because of dickhead leaders that can’t act decent, treat others right, or talk things out without being little insecure manbabies. And when manchildren in power have their big boi pp insulted they make the less powerful fight for them instead of doing anything respectful. Some rebellions which lead to wars are justified. Gotta stick it back to the empowered manchildren sometimes. But it all comes down to a shitty leader.
TSG_Asmodeus (he, him)I decided to focus on wars of leftest and/or peasant uprisings. Often heart breaking, but man if you’ve ever enjoyed cheering for the underdog, they are definitely that. Plus, you’re automatically learning about the Class War at the same time :D
diggerMay I recommend Summer of Blood: The Peasants’ Revolt of 138 by Dan Jones?
