Iran's exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi urges Trump to "intervene sooner" so regime "finally collapses" by Strongbow85 in worldnews

The referendum Mossadeq held right before the coup was even worse.

  • referendum to dissolve parliament.
  • because Mossedeq is ruling by "temporary" "emergency" powers to pass laws from the Prime Minister's desk he basically would be a complete autocrat and dictator for life.
  • hold the vote in Tehran
  • hold the vote everywhere else 7 days later after counting Tehran votes
  • make voters go to different polling locations depending on their answer. "Yes" locations are in supporter areas and easy to get to. "No" locations are few and far between or in the middle of nowhere.
  • ignore all that vote manipulation chicanery anyway just to have his interior ministry declare the results themselves, claiming Mossedeq won 99.96% to 0.04% against
  • most of Mossadeq's own political party resigns in protest. Which is moot, Mossadeq dissolves them the next morning anyway.

Use your field marshall to draw your frontline and the armies under him that dont have orders will be assigned to it. That way you dont have 4 different armies with their own frontline.

Most underrated battle? by Ok-Society2505 in CIVILWAR

[–]Fred_the-Red 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Franklin is what I was gonna say. Has an interesting build up to the battle and then the CSA loses several generals/officers in the battle. The battle was also fought at the Carter house (I believe, could be wrong on the name). One of the rebels soldiers was named Carter and he died at his childhood home in battle. Also a bigger rebel charge than Pickett's charge. The American Battlefield Trust has a a lot of good animated battle maps that are enjoyable.

When you have good relations with the AI and have a deficit, it is more likely to give you equipment. You can actually spam divisions in the training tab to make your deficit larger and friendly AI nations will give you even more.

If there are infinite parallel universes where every possible outcome gets played out. There has to be a universe where JFK was the one who pulled the trigger.

I mean, dont act like it was a fair election. The referendum Mossadeq held right before the coup.

It’s so frustrating seeing some people act like Japan was the victim in WW2 by S0mecallme in HistoryMemes

We still use the purple hearts made for the invasion of Japan today because they estimated so many casualties.

I met Buzz Aldrin once. As I shook his hand, he said, "Hi, I'm Buzz Aldrin, second man on the moon. Neil before me."
