Negostrike posted:Matsumae, the samurai clan that kept an outpost there That section of the map is breaking my brain; clearly they were able to get into the Sea of Okotsk to map the Gulf of Patience, but they've either split both Sakhalin and Hokkaido both into two, or one of them into three? That, and they've labelled the secondmost northern island as Jesso, but I don't think the Japanese government in Edo had influence that far north until the Meiji restoration.

I never realised the French kept the Beys in power in Tunisia. I just guess I always assumed they ruled it as part of France like they did with Algeria.

The shogunate only had a few outposts in southern Hokkaido by the time that map was made (1818). Also the Japanese knew Sakhalin as Kita Ezo (North Ezo) which might explain "Jesso" being apart from Hokkaido (which was only "Ezo") so I guess whoever made the map simply had not enough data or got confused. It was indeed only after the Meiji Restoration that colonization in Hokkaido got underway. Non-related content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JY9uds519o

I struggled with today's but got it on my last guess. Apparently I have no concept of distances. I think I'll be turning off the country outline for the future. Narrowing in on a place geographically I suspect is more fun, and I don't actually care much about the outlines.

Yeah, the Ireland thing is still making me scratch my head, because fundamentally the major difference between FF and FG supporters is what side of the Anglo-Irish Treaty their grandparents were on. (One of them is slightly wetter – in the Thatcher-era Tory sense – than the other, but I can never remember which one.)

TinTower posted:Yeah, the Ireland thing is still making me scratch my head, because fundamentally the major difference between FF and FG supporters is what side of the Anglo-Irish Treaty their grandparents were on. FF (Fianna Fail) are more culturally conservative (they had more links to the Catholic Church and rural people) than FG(Fine Gael). FG were historically the party of the urban upper and middle class so were a bit more socially liberal. FF are also more centrist/populist economically. Their main economic policy focus over the last century has been focusing on what policies will win them the most votes and most money, rather than any intellectual ideology. Which generally meant a smattering of broad social democracy on top of a very pro-business platform generally. FG on the other hand are a lot more traditionally centre-right in their small government, low tax, low welfare etc ideological views. So if its done by social views FF are more to the right of the two, but by economic views FG are more to the right. Edit: though actually given the first criteria for the image, the "fascist/nazi history", I'd wager it might be FG the image is referring to given their Blueshirt origins:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueshirts Blut fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Feb 16, 2022 |
