OKAY, OKAY
tbh I'm curious now
I got time, give me a not-so-quick rundown
YOU HAVE THE RISE OF THE US AND THE BUILD UP OF WW1, NOT TO MENTION GERMANY FORMING IN THAT ERA!
YOU HAVE THE CIVIL FUCKING WAR
Lol I took some master course in totalitarian regimes of the 20th century... That was my red pill
THE OLD FUCKING WEST
That was 20 years ago....
AND THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR
The Spanish Anorexia War
Yes great era....what always facinated me was the rise of nationalism during the 19th
The American system.of economics is a great example
Of product of that time
@DeusVolt Got any good reads on that time period? Preferably online ones.
I'm interested in the details now
Go to a library.
Start at Napoleon.
End at WW1.
That is my favorite time period I generally like to read into.
Well the big picture is you have the major 3 conquering powers figuring out the continent and how they'll split it up
At the same time nationalism and industrial age
WW1 was 20th century and I'm pretty sure it was due to crazy-high tensions between the main powers in Europe at the time; one assassination lead to a chain reaction
Oh and a golden age in English productivity
No. WW1 was a gradual buildup of tensions that could be traced back to the 1850s.
So.many great thinkers came from. England in the 19th
Antifa as a concept is originally from Bulgaria
Hell even earlier.
Though in practice you really saw it during the Spanish civil war
Well, I'm technically right. Only thing I fail to know is the origin of said tensions
That was the only time an anarchists really fought a war, wasnt it?
I have been meaning to read into the Spanish Civil War
Plus the Anarchists lost.
I miss Franco
Franco fucked up by not joining the Axis openly.
He could have taken Gibraltar.
Closing the Mediterranean
He was more or less hardcore harassed by the Brits iirc
Spain sticks out because of the war I suppose
Either bribed or threatened, I forget which
Well the Spanish Civil War was just ended in the 1930s I believe.
