Dreddout posted:Supposedly the PRC looks upon Taiping as a ideological predecessor to their revolution. Sorta like how the bolsheviks viewed the jacobins. tbh mao was a history nerd that tried to rehabilitate a bunch of historical figures like qin shi huang and cao cao the taiping thing really didnt stick which is why modern party historiography usually focuses on anti-concessionist movements of the qing period

everything after 1848 is depressing as gently caress everything before it is just the inexorable forces of history at work and is cool

StashAugustine posted:What was Russian performance in ww1 like? I've heard plenty of stories about how incompetent the army was, especially in the early stages of the war, but tbh I've heard that about every other war they've been in. Obviously morale was low enough that the entire country collapsed and no country really covered itself in glory there, but how did they compare to the rest of the major powers? people have recommended some stuff about the eastern front but I would give Shattering Empires a shot if you wanna learn about the fight with the ottomans

Cerebral Bore posted:i want a vietnam war film where the heroic viet cong squad drop cool one-liners while they gun down waves upon waves of yankee imperialist pigdogs  quote:“We’re fighting the largest empire in the world, and we’re just a bunch of hay seeds in coonskin hats that don’t know nothing,” Lucas noted.
