The Thirty Years War is critical to understanding the modern world. States like Syria that have been destroyed by proxy wars are used in racist propaganda. The fact that Germany was once similarly devastated powerfully underlines the common humanity of European and non-European peoples.

well we gotta cut something, and every time someone makes a suggestion of what to cut, someone else says its uncuttable.

we can't cut ww1, ww2, napoleonic wars + revolutionary wars, romans, colonialism - well what can we cut dammit

we've gotta disrupt history classes, we need a seamless learning experience

The Holy Roman Empire was cool because it was fragmented in all kinds of insane and wacky ways to the point where it had a class of people who were basically sovereign citizens.

Not all of them, but thousands of Ukrainian Jews have already fled to Israel. Either to flee the warzone in the east, or because open antisemitism is back with avengence.

Reminds me of that documentary "defamation" about antisemitism many years back where the guy interviewed some Jewish Ukrainians and they said "eh it's no big deal". Welp.
