What if the Spartacist Uprising/German Revolution was a success?

Could they have linked up with the Bolsheviks and ignited the world revolution?

Friendly reminder that Palestine is NOT a real country or nation. Palestine was what the home of the Philistines (A nomadic non-Arab people near the Aegean) was referred to by Greek historians. They only ever lived on a small strip of what is today the West Bank. This area was renamed Palestina by the angry Romans after the Jewish revolts they quelled. This was to minimize Jewish claim to the land as the land was previously known as Judea or land of the Jews

Friendly reminder that the Ottomans and local Arabs referred to it more as "Southern Syria" than Palestine ore-Israel. Syria did not recognize Palestine until 2011 for this reason. They did not see Israel, Palestine, or even Jordan as independent nations, but rather part of Greater Syria

Friendly reminder that since the 1880's, Jews have been moving into the land, having bought large portions of it (legally) from the landlords under the Ottomans

Friendly reminder that Palestinian Arabs are a made up ethnicity used as a political tool by the Arabs to put a thorn in Israel's side. They are in reality Jordanians. Trans-Jordan was what Jordan was called by the British because it was on the other side of the Jordan River. Cis-Jordan, is Palestine

Friendly reminder that the Arab leaders could have declared Palestinian Independence from 1948-1967 but did not. This is because the above is correct and that Palestinians are a threat to Jordanian security. In 1970, the Jordanians fought and forced the PLO into Lebanon. Arabs nations support and deny Palestinian statehood as suits their own agenda seeing as how on the international stage, many sympathize with Palestinians

Friendly reminder that Palestine the Arab fake """nation""" has no history, language, culture or custom distinct from the Arabs of the area

Neither is Ukraine. Or Turkey.

I agree but the Jews claim on the land is equally weak. It's based on religious which shouldn't be a serious basis for any major political decision.

I see him overlooking the mountains, as he sees his elephants fall to their deaths. Then while his underlings are beseeching him to turn back with the crash of tons of ivory crashing to the valley floor in the background he will whisper "more" to which his underlings will say "what?". He will then look them in the eye and scream "MORE.....MORE ELEPHANTS MUST DIE"

First time posting here.
Hopefully this is relevant to this board - I have a question.

What if the U.S won the Vietnam war?
Ignoring how the U.S would win the war first...

Would the bitter past of Vietnam be more happy much-like WWII? Celebrated liberators in awful places and times? Or would people still spit at the thought and reason as to why they went to Vietnam in the first place? How would the public opinion shift?

What is your home country's stance on various war crimes committed by it throughout history?

Does it outright dismiss them?
Admit and glorify them?
Admit and indulge in self-hate because of them?
Admit but couldn't give less of a shit about them?
7 posts and 1 images submitted.

Depends on who the crimes were against. We paid reparations to the Indians and Japanese because they're not white. You never hear the end of the Indian thing especially. Metis rebels are considered heroes. The few massacres of German troops and the post-war ethnic cleansing of Germans that our soldiers participated in gets totally ignored, and when it is brought up it's considered justified because "they were Nazis." (I only know about it because my grandpa was a zombie who didn't want to fight so the army used him as a guard in a concentration camp after the war, and he told me about Germans being arbitrarily beaten and killed and the starvation and disease.) I'm sure there are atrocities Canadian troops have hand in since WWII but you don't hear about them.
