Soviets almost pacified the country before Mujahedin started to come there from around the world.

Afghanistan is good old - anglos fund enemies' enemies who turn into their enemies a decade or so later.

Basically:

>non-aligned president Daoud Khan decides to break ties with the USSR and align himself closer to the west
>Soviet-backed commies stage a coup and kill Khan
>communist Taraki takes power
>he gets killed by another communist, Amin
>Amin begins to distance himself from the USSR as well
>Amin gets assassinated by the Soviets, gets replaced by Babrak Karmal

No I just assumed that if they had invaded anywhere it would've been Hokkaido, I haven't made any maps.

They weren't capable of doing it(lack of training, experience and assault vessels) but whether Army, Navy, Administration or the Emperor knew about it is another matter.

Somebody knew - as they knew what happened in Kuril Islands but was it army or was it navy?

The capitulation of Japan was definitely speeded up by Soviets invading Manchuria but it was all because they hoped for mediation between them and allies even after the bombs have fallen.

It's the same principle as domestication of animals, except applied to human beings. It's not something deep and profound.

Alternatively, in ancient tribal systems, there's debt-slavery. Basically if you failed to repay a debt, you worked for the guy you owed shit to.

Brits hate Churchill?

Barely anyone hates Churchill except a few northern communities who still refuse to forget a union thing. Thatcher is divisive but has as many fans as she does haters

>>1115074

Churchill isn't hated by Brits, he's one of the most beloved figures in out history.

Thatcher is more of a polarising figure but she is still enormously popular with right-leaning people.

It's a meme, you dip.

From what Im reading your topic is too broad, perhaps narrow it down. What's your thesis?

>>1114729
Politics = secrecy

Or maybe I misunderstood you.

>>1114729

you could maybe organize your argumentation around the concept of different christian codes of behaviour for the political elite contradicting one another : the prince has to behave like a "honorable" person according to older knight conduct code, but his "honor" in a more latin sense, his political duty implies screwing his previously mentioned "honorability", also, but he's allowed to do this cuz whoever he screws up or behaves unchrisitan with isnt "honorable" anyway...

Nobody really holds anything against the Loyalists, it's only people like Arnold who started out fighting for America then switched sides who are hated.

>inb4 the Continental Congress didn't give him enough money

Start with the story of Cronus eating his babies

In strictly History? Iliad, find a companion piece of fragmented stories of the Trojan War, then read Herodotus. If you're talking philosophy in general, ask /lit/, they have info graphics for that kind of thing.

What's your goal/interest? Why are you supposed to start with the Greeks? Your goals will influence where you want to start.

There was an image with a flow chart of Greek literature, though. Someone might post it.

Unrestricted submarine warfare is some scary shit. I am thankful the Cold War never got hot. We might have kicked some Soviet ass, but the words "Torpedo in the Water" are words I (as a submarine sonar man) am glad I never had to speak (except in training).

Here's hoping my son and his submarine keep those Trident missiles in their tubes.
