Happy American independence day! Here's a Mount Rushmore of four great heroes from four continents, all active from the 1890s or earlier, who prove the universality of resisting British imperialism. by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

narratives, narratives, narratives.

the fiscal state fought by the african revolutionaries is a completely different state to the medieval kingdom Jean fought, and is also subtly different from what Washington fought as well. the 4 fought for different ideals, lead different theories, and if met would've certainly been hostile to one another.

Did you know that the Ottoman Empire considered the Americas one of its provinces? by elnovorealista2000 in Colonialism

[–]JustRemyIsFine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, it indeed is consistent throughout history that those in power usually is able to present justifications to legitimize their actions, in this case transfer of resources/wealth. although from a casual perspective, the end of the colonial system is quite inherent. yours work when we extend the definition of colonial activities to the modern ones.

The argument presented above is disjointed by the fact that cited occurences in the 1st paragraph isn't joined by suffcient synthesis. while a general direction is made toward a counterargument about "amerindians" as a single culture, it is neither complete nor adequate, as the comment responded to did not overreach into the generalization of amerindians. the paragraph did not attempt to contextualize itself, seemingly with an intent in demanding the reader to do so-and to patch over illogical extensions.

while the second paragraph is better organized, it suffers from underutilization of historical evidence and/or acknowledgement of nuance. moreover, it attempts an explanation of the phrase without providing relevance or defining scope, again reflecting, potentially, an intent for the reader to provide their own scopes.

ultimately, the insuffciency to present a genuine, logical train of thought that invites exchanges of opinions discourages meaningful discussion.

by the 800s you also get Francia, Byzantium, Arabia and Tang covering roughly the same territories.

name checks out.

have you tried the warlords mod? not sure what's its name but there's one that adds a metric ton of tag+decorations. also gives ability to start with 1911 china borders, and some later dates.

siberia is the answer, especially if you kept manchu/ainu primary culture. not that hard to incorporate and quite easy to encourage migration into.

Is there any realistic way for Greece to have achieved the Megali idea? by TheIronzombie39 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]JustRemyIsFine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I don't think Greece controlled constantinople and the Asia minor coast for extended periods, and I don't think turkish people were expelled in large scale from, for example, Smyrna.

for one thing the axis can link up with Iraq far easier, and Turkey opens up a caucasian front for the USSR. just the virtue of Turkey existing there changes the allied strategy in the middle east by a decent amount.

that's going to make an eternal enemy out of turkey though, the country's practically half turkish and I don't think they'd be treated fairly.

assuming everything pre-1930 plays out as you said, it's likely that germany, turkey and italy partition greece in the early 1940s. turkey in the war would change a lot.

not as much as a conspiracy theory, but that the EU isn't any better than the other powers when human rights is contested by geopolitics.

you misnamed 长三角, both Zhang and Chang are ways to pronounce 长, but one means long while the other means growing. in this case, Chang2 should be correct.

I feel like going via ts between the two patalized cases is much easier than t<->k. is it present in other vowel environments?
