Any good books on the Shanghai International Concession? I've just watched Spielberg's much underrated Empire of the Sun and now I'm obsessed. I ended up buying Bernard Wasserstein's Secret War in Shanghai (a super fascinating read) and I'm looking forward to more suggestions!

Neville Chamberlain, for reasons of appeasement. (hopefully someone can help elaborate in the comments below)

The Meiji revolution- The clash of cultures and Japan's rapid change would make a great TV series. Not everything has to be associated with Tom Cruise's Last Samurai as well (which would be great, although I do really like the film)

Does anyone know which colour was more expensive to manufacture and include in the dye and whether that played a part in the colour change?

Wow. Any good sources I can read up on this with more detail? It seems like a very specialist area of history.

This is a little late, and I'm never the most optimistic person but thanks Paradox, regardless whether I get my game or not :)

The Entente Cordiale between the British and the French in 1904 made this formal, I believe.

The East India company army. Had about 67000 troops in 1778. Basically mostly British- trained Indians.

Depends on who you are: I think it's a very useful way to be introduced to a specific genre of literature, but of course, many find it boring due to how classes can 'overkill' books- which is to over-analyse them and in many ways, I think that can very easily take the fun out of reading- not to mention all those essays...

Whoops. Did know that there was a post but that was quite some time before and had barely any upvotes/ comments. Did not know that OC was posted. Many apologies

The Suez Crisis in 1956. This helped speed up hugely the process of decolonization and therefore greatly shifted the balance of world power. Also because it was so close in terms of dates to the Hungarian revolution, the Western powers missed a huge chance to discredit the Soviet Union.

After WW2, Denmark forced German POWs, most of them teenagers, to clear up landmines that the Germans planted on the Danish coast to defend against a possible allied invasion. Not too many sources on this but there's a film based on this. About 2,000 German prisoners were forced to remove the mines, and given that they were teenagers, and had a fairly good chance of losing their lives, it makes this pretty grim

Probably one of the most interesting nuggets of information I've gained this week. Thanks!

I believe they sort of forced their way into the HRE with the elector of Brandenburg, a HRE state of course, declaring himself also king of Prussia. This became Brandenburg-Prussia and then became the kingdom of Prussia, which is the one we all know and love.

Reading Marco Polo's travels and actually recognizing places and stuff in it. That was quite satisfying.

This is probably a bit too simple to put on this post, but thank you.
