it kills you by suffocating you over several days, leaving you to drown in your own fluids

sulferic acid is the og chem gas, it was actually used in the judean revolt (roughly 150 BCE)

roman and chem warfare

welp, learn something new every day i guess

the most sophisticated form of chemical/biological warfare id heard of from the time was flinging corpses at the enemy or poisoning wells

yeah kaffa much

despite the gas and machine guns and rifles, Artillery was the biggest killer in ww1, blasting soldiers apart, crushing them with debris from falling buildings, and burying them alive in artillery shelters

and this isn't even discussing the number of specialized artillery shell variants

one example of which are Lachrymal shells, which contained essentially tear gas

crack of the lighting splitting the ground, thunder is sounding artillery pounding

Wrath of the Nazis cast on Bastogne
Facing their forces alone!

WE! WE WILL RESIST AND BITE!

what song are we on

"AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!"

poles fighting against religous extreemists back then and today

well technically it was the poles bailing out the austrians who were fighting ottoman janissaries but still

I got a set from sabaton that i bet even Astrovious wont get

"Know that peace comes at a high price
It may take a thousand lives
And a deep belief
Sacrifice of men"

yeah, but it was also their historical enemy

they had fought the ottomans since mihai the great

Can anyone explain the "party switch" in the south

It was brought up during a conversation

when the Democrat South and Republican North swapped places, but policy was the same it was just the people that switched.

Explain 😅

Basically there's this myth/theory that in the 60s the racist redneck democrats at the time were angry that their party passed the Civil rights act so they all switched sides en masse.

How do I debunk that

Well I don't have the evidence currently, but I'll tell you from my own knowledge that the South didn't become majority republican until the 90s.

And here's the funny thing. Most older southerners I've talked to tell me that there were still lynchings well into the 80s but it virtually ceased after.

Just watch this

Thank you @Fear & Frank In Las Vegas @Deleted User

I don't believe it's pure coincidence that the amount of lynchings in the south coincided with how democratic it was.

I actually never knew why the south switched. Thanks for sharing this

PragerU has a vast number of opinions.
