victory is the most preferable outcome of war, because it is the end of the conflict for good, the other side ceases to exist, the conflict/argument ceases to exist

unless your Germany

well Germany was totally defeated, the allies had total victory over germany

Ww1 or 2

WW2 is the last major war with decisive victory

Didn’t they lose ww1 then hitler came

yea they lost ww1 and ww1 ended by concession before germany was invaded and conquered

and this set the stage of course for ww2

no one gives Russia credit for ww2 how many people died in that war is insane

the USSR has gotten their credit in recent decades, for ww2 history nerds a lot of the soviet documents got permitted and opened in about 2010s

Idk I just feel uneducated people on the topic leave out Russia and just think of Britain France and the US

Britain and France didn’t do shit in comparison

there was a really good documentary with rare footage and former soldiers on the Eastern Front from all sides; nazis, soviets, partisans, etc.

it was called War of the Century but youtube pulled it years a go sadly

i'll see if i can find it though

easily one of the best, if not the best documentary i ever seen

brilliantly put together

Dam why would they do that, must be so cool seeing it in video, pictures are one thing but a video damn

i think copyright

it was a professionally done one

OFC

and probably controversy

god damn copyright

i mean they say some crazy shit

it focuses on the Nazi vs Soviet story heavily, just a duel of two evil empries really in an ever violently downward spinning maelstrom

Was Us considered allies w Russia

Or more like I won’t fuck w u if you don’t

yes controversially so

Hmm what a weird dynamic

it's a strange truth that though Russia is seen as our big rivals even today, we actually have never fought a war with Russia and in fact were allies

It’s crazy nothing came out of the Soviet Union

but of course at the end of WW2 and the nature of the defeat of Germany the Cold War began and this is where the US-Russian rivalry begins really

To this day it’s not the same as before

Now they are buddies w China

they were friends with China before after Mao took over China in the extraordinarily bloody Chinese Civil War

obviously one of communism's greatest victories, if not their greatest cosniderring China is still communist while the USSR fell

China scares me man

but China and Russia also had some border clashes and problems between eachother called the Sino-Soviet Split, though they a being neighbors are still somewhat close obviously

Did u study history

You know hella

sure lol anyone can, jsut read books lol
