Count Roland posted:English language historical record. Its funny how empty Asia is. Sure, sure, it's population density x length of record x how much white people are interested in analysing that record. Though, going off a tangent, some cultures seem to have been more interested in writing down history than others. I'm thinking primary of India here, where "Prior to the thirteenth century AD we possess no historical text of any kind, much less a detailed narrative as we possess in the case of Greece, Rome, or China." As far as historians can tell, the Indians just weren't interested in writing chronicles. I think it'd be pretty interesting to figure out what the reasons behind that were, and why, the Meditterranean cultures, say, or (especially) the Chinese were interested.

Unfortunately probably the only truly comprehensive history of the Chinese civil war as a whole is in ROC archives, and as far as I know has not been translated to any Western language that I know of, or even to simplified alphabet. The other best thing, the CIA monographies on China, are really only good for the period after the US joined the WWII.

I think you're not cathing my drift here. I think it'd be interesting to see what holes that would leave due to the referenced records being spotty in that regard. As others have now mentioned as well. I had no intention of making it seem like I have sweeping statements to make about levels of aggression in specific races or anything like that.

Golbez posted:I'm the late-20th-century Battle of Indianapolis. Apparently, it is this mislabelled as 1963 instead of 1863. Though the image of time-travelling Confederate cavalry looting north of the Ohio river in the 1960s is an amusing one.

A lot of them are oddly marked. The Battle of Tipton Island is shown about 70 miles west of where it happened.

Corek posted:Could I see more about these CIA monographs? I'm interested in that period. I misspoke, since obviously the CIA didn't exist back then; The real publisher was the Office of the Chief of Military History of the US Army, and the material was compiled from Japanese records made available after the war; you can get the PDFs here http://ibiblio.org/hyperwar/Japan/Monos/ But do not expect a riveting read, it's a bunch of bureaucratic documents through and through. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Mar 4, 2016 |

Blut posted:http://battles.nodegoat.net/viewer.p/23/385/scenario/1/geo/fullscreen is the link to play around with it. Maybe all of those ghosts are partially responsible for Belgium's awfulness. I know this is a joke but a popular national notion among Belgians (especially Flemings) blames our culture's reluctance for open confrontation and wariness of strangers on the fact that for a long time, it was one of Europe's major battlefields caught in between much more powerful forces. I think it's a crock of self-serving bullshit that is all too often used to justify racism to be sure, but it is true that on average, Belgians are much more quiet and modest people than any of their neighbours.

This make me wonder why they need so much testing. Is not like Hirosima and Nagasaki where failed test. The first prototype killed a whole city, thats bad enough for me. And a new design may need a new explosion to test it, but then why make 500 explosions, is that 500 different designs? Maybe nuclear test serve a political role, like "I am Civ Gandhi and I have nuclear bombs". Also that video is way too slow. I played it with the youtube function to accelerate it x2 and it was still to slow.

The only way to prove that you have a bunch different nukes that work and are constantly making more is to blow some up and let your enemies notice.

i love this map so much immigrants and northeasterners in the beginning, then it catches up with the american center of population as scouting and the minor league system grows (well before the expansion era), i'm guessing it jumps southeast in the early '50s because of black southerners and heads back west because of californians and such, but then back east because the caribbean countries have sent more players to the majors than mexico i suppose the constant southward move is mostly because of latinos no doubt, but i bet also because more american players come from places with longer playing seasons nowadays
