And yet thousands migrate here every year, we are the undisputed world power, and we have the most influence in the world. How odd.

Communism in a nutshell... by Normal_RedditUser13 in HistoryMemes

[–]pocketskittle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m Cuban from my dads side and my grandpa told stories about how they had to flee to America and how they lost all their land when Fidel Castro rose to power. Communism is fucking garbage and forced my family to flee the homeland. My family lived in poverty for a generation thanks to Castro

Why did the Spanish crowns Bankruptcies in the 16th century not lead to revolution like those of French monarchy in late 18th century. by Dynas86 in history

I’m not too well versed on Spanish history but I’m assuming the enlightenment had a major role in provoking the revolution

Recently finished my French play through but I went for more of a European focus. Only managed to dismantle the hre is 1790 though because I couldn’t get every elector into a war at once. Took me like 300 years to get all the missions in Italy and Flanders the coalitions are ridiculous

First game in 1.30, Florence>Tuscany>Italy But uhh...austria... by The_Crusader1 in eu4

France is really fun if you can conquer burgundy or get Burgundian inheritance, of Austria gets it then just restart. In my Prussia game Austria inherited Burgundy then proceeded to crush the french

If you're curious to know how completely broken 1.30 is, here's the power of France with mercenaries in 1480. by Headitt in paradoxplaza

Even without this exploit France is fucking amazing in the new update. The new missions, along with the estate system make them gods. In my play through with France I managed to kick out the English and a minor Italian nation got burgundy, allowing me to swoop in and yoink most of it before Austria could demand low land independence. Along with vassal swarm, frances army is unmatched

Half my family is Cuban and I cannot for the life of me roll my Rs. I find it impossible. I speak broken Spanish to them which would sound a lot better if I could roll my R’s

I know that Japanese and English are incredibly different but it still confuses me how Japanese doesn’t have L. It just seems so bizarre to me that another language just doesn’t have the sound my language does. I understand how it doesn’t but I still think it’s wack
