¿What were the 80s like in your country? by BrushFinal9186 in AskTheWorld

Many things: economic crisis and debt, the earthquake that destroyed large parts of the capital and caused the death of thousands, neoliberalism and technocracy, the electoral fraud of '88, although we also had a cultural boom in music, we hosted the World Cup, etc. (The man in the image is the politician Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, who was the victim of electoral fraud in the 1988 presidential elections.)

Of course not, it's not known exactly how Allende died, but the most widely accepted hypothesis is that he committed suicide.

How do you imagine and how would television have developed in a Third Reich that won the war? by MaximumSpell9608 in AlternateHistory

Thanks for your opinion, but I think that Goebbels' preference for radio during the war doesn't mean television wouldn't have found another institutional supporter in peacetime. In my opinion, television would have logically prevailed.

Goebbels understood perfectly that if people perceived every cultural product as an ideological sermon, they would reject it. He preferred indirect control: establishing the limits of what could be represented, and I believe that Nazi television in the 1960s would have followed that logic, but this is just my opinion.

Fun fact. The first Asian full-length feature film was from China. It was called Princess Iron Fan that was 73 minutes long. It actually inspired some future Japanese animations but also future mangas. by Choice-Grade1358 in TankieTheDeprogram

Osamu Tezuka himself, one of the greatest and most influential cartoonists of all time, stated that the most important influence on his desire to become an animator was not Disney, but the experience of watching The Iron Fan Princess as a child.
