nice

you know i find it funny how the French with La Salle basically just discovered some of the worst places in the US imaginable all because he wanted to take a joy ride down the Mississippi in his explorers ship

The French work in mysterious ways

Yeah lol

Its even funnier when you find out he wanted to do that again

This time going up river on the mississippi instesd of going down jt

> hell from what iv talked with people around my age, a lot of them think that Texas was land stolen from Mexico by US imperialism
@Zilla who cares if we "stole" it or not, if Mexico couldn't take it back back then, that's their problem, not ours

exactly

> I noticed that student dont like History or know almost nothing about is because its barely taught in elementary and if it though, then its European history like wtf.
@Tripolic X Oh yeah, I remember in 4th grade D-Day was just a paragraph, and there was nothing about the Pacific theater in WWII, except the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

which the liberals and the pope apparently complained about

even though none of them probably understand how bad the alternative was

Yeah, how many purple hearts were made in preparation for the invasion of Japan? I know we only recently ran out of the stockpile that was made

We had enough to carry us through Korea, Vietnam, And every single scuffle in the Middle East

Yeah, even with the Soviets and the rest of the allies coming over it would've been a bloodbath

Just be glad it went the way it did

Yeah

Nuking the Japs and liberating Manchuria saved millions of lives which would have been lost in the invasion of the mainland.

Which is why it’s justified and Twitter morons are dumb

Well it's Twitter. That by default is to be expected.

the standard

Lol

Indeed

Does anyone else watch the History Guy on YOutube?

yep

I love his videos

He makes History fun

yeah he does

The only history channel I actively watch on youtube is Sabaton History

The only history channel I watch is Pepe pig

Ian McCollum from ForgottenWeapons is pretty educational.

@Deleted User I learn more from them then I do in school

@thatguybrody while he is, the history he teaches mostly involves the weapon itself

Lol same

I really like the stuff on the 30 years war, cause we just got to that in History, and we skimmed over it, just saying it was a war between protestantism and catholocism, not specific countries, leaders, nothing, just the two religions that fought each other

That's horrifically simple

And with major conflicts as long and as large as those, it's never that simple

Yeah, I'm hoping that at the very least WWII is better, but we've got 500 years left to go

Anyone else find it ridiculous how many freaking medals the average north Korean general has like if we go to war we just need a magnet

Oh yeah, especially given the last time they have had any sort of battle

We just need to bring a giant magnet to the border and activate it.

But still, even war heroes like Francis Pegpegahmagabow, Lauri Torni, Simo Hayha, Bull Allen, and generals who deserve plenty of medals don't have as many, it's impractical and makes no sense
