ancient
A wealthy trading hub, that has been fought over due to its strategic placement since the time of Ozymandias.
Modern
It was a french mandate after the French and British carved up the bloated corpse of the ottoman empire. initially Syria and the Lebanon were one, however, the french thought that the Christians deserved the beach front property, and created Lebanon. The mandate effectively ended with the fall of France. Since then, the Syrians have been trying to get back what they see as their land, both overtly and covertly (mainly the latter). As Israel deems them hostile, and because Lebanon is in a great position to launch an invasion of Israel. Israel is not going to let the Syrians own it.

From what I got it went something like this...

  1. Russia wanted to put a boat by Turkey.
  2. Turkey was like "Fuck no."
  3. Russia was butt hurt and went home.

What I meant by that was not why the area was conquered (also it wasn't as easy as you make it sound), but the character of certain Southern Balkan nations. While Slovenia and Croatia were incorporated into Austo-Hungaria, ostensibly Western Europe, had social reforms like the whole enlightenment process, Serbs, Montenegrins, Greeks, Albanians, etc. were still living under Turkish occupation with all the joys occupation brings.

The ottoman empire kind of relied on the balkans. A shitload of viziers and generals all came from the balkans. Infact, already when the ottoman sultan fought and was defeated by Timur lenk the ones who deserted him were the turkish troops not the troops from the balkans.

The Ottoman empire wouldnt have been as powerful as it was if they merely occupied the balkans.

What i tried to say is, Balkans were always a problem region. There were tons of fiefdoms harrassing each other before the Ottoman occupation, and even today, there's like 10 different countries in a relatively small area and their relationship are still kinda troubled..

I believe mid-Ottoman age (1600s) and Yugoslavian age are two golden ages Balkans saw..

>> No.20225 Report Ban Global Ban

Balkans, geographically speaking isn't a peninsula because it is wider than it is long. If you would count Balkans as a peninsula because it is surounded by water from 3 sides, you might as well count most of Europe as a peninsula.

Well having shown the world that America rules it with an iron cock up everyone's collective ass we would need expand. Through absorbing former exhausted allies mainly England and France. Carving up Italy, Germany, and the Pacific into separate American colonies. Africa would be left relatively untouched as Americans don't like to dick around in the jungles, deltas, and deserts. The Middle East is cut up into various states that respect tribal and ethnic borders. And of course once one planet is taken under control a second or third would need to feel the pain. /fantasy

As for taking Russia? Why would anyone want to take over a large land mass of various warring tribes running around with Mosin Nagants and captured Nazi guns killing each other? Really it would be like Afghanistan or modern day Africa with no Kalashnikov rifles.

a land invasion of japan would've been pretty much the WORST thing the US could do, aside from dropping the nukes on itself...

also, the nukes weren't necesssary, japan surrendered because russia invaded manchuria, not because of some pointless and expected civillian casualties... they were nothing but america waving it's cock around at everyone until the russians developed the cvar.

Question to anyone who knows history and economics

how exactly did the nazi party recover Germany's economy during rearmament?

it seems to me that a government(printing or taxing money) rehiring workers to make bullets, tanks and boats does not help their then inflated currency.

Hey /his/
I have an essay for my history degree, 2500-3000 words. The title is
Was the American Revolution and subsequent constitution influenced more by Locke’s idea of the social contract or by Montesquieu’s concept of checks and balances?
I've gotten to 1,500, but I can't write anymore. What would you mention in writing that essay? Thanks. Pic not related, but was the most related picture I had.

The Constitution wasn't really "subsequent" to the Revolution.

The Articles of Confederation were subsequent to the Revolution.

You should know this. What kind of history are they teaching these days?

history class: some white guys in wigs agreed to make a new nation founded on freedom but the angry brits didn't like it so there was a revolution and they kicked the brits out and murrika was born and freedom and democracy is good.

I second arguing in favor of Locke.

>> No.20216 Report Ban Global Ban

Montesquieu didn't believe a republic was plausible in large countries, but rather in minuscule territories based off the Italian city-state model. Although the framers obviously borrowed heavily from a lot of his ideas about a functioning representative democracy, they obviously disagreed with him on a vast amount of it. Monty preached the whole confederation of mini republics as the best form of governance, something the federalists completely disavowed. idk, hopefully you're citing the Federalist Papers extensively in your essay, as they're honestly the best window into the mindset of the creators of the US.

Locke is undoubtedly relevant more so in their arguments for revolution than in the shaping of the federal constitution.

This cunt, Sophia Lvovna Perovskaya, is a good reason women shouldn't get involved in politics.
She had Czar Alexander II assassinated even though he was attempting to turn his nation into a republic. apparently that wasn't good enough, apparently there had to be bloodshed to legitimize such a transition. Think of what the 20th century would be like if she was never born.

You know, way back when in the years of Emma Goldman, anarchists where pretty cool. I'm a socialist but I've read anarchist/fascist literature as well as communist/socialist material. Today, anarchists are fucking retarded. Case in point.

It's a political system that's been raped by a bunch of tween faggots who don't understand that the point of anarchism isn't to HAVE NO RULES, ANARCHY HURR, it's to be in a society where oppression is defeated by having no leaders or anybody with power. Laws that exist are the laws of the people.
