I think it's time you yanks disabused yourselves of the notion that you 'saved' western civilisation from the barbarians during the 1940's in Europe.
Hitler had failed to conquer Russia and was in deep trouble, Britain was still fighting and had the support of its Commonwealth including Australia and India.
We were in trouble but the war was turning in our favour. We were obliged for your support but we paid dearly for that, only a few months ago were we able to pay off all the money we were indebted to you for.
In fact if you confined yourself to the Pacific Eastern Europe might possibly not have become dominated by the communists and the world would have been a better place.
We've seen what you've done on the battlefield since those times, particularly Vietnam and Iraq, and belive me, you're a burden for the rest of the world.
We admire your democracy but it's more capitalist than democratic, refer to South America for more details.

Africans were brought to America against their will in the 17th and 18th centuries. But since the abolishment of slavery, has it actually benefit them since they are now living in a much better society today than if they were still living in Africa?

Why though it is often referenced in literature and history is the Byzantine Empire so little described? I mean it came after Rome, there is plenty of record of it, yes?

You hear so much about Bynzantium and Byzantine Politics, yet there are VERY few books outside of stale plain history books on their politics, political positions, fashions, palaces (I only found 1 3D representation of the famous Byzantine Great Palace of Constantinople which served as the seat of the Byzantine Emperors for 800 years.

On the other hand you have a plethora of graphical books, novels, illustrations, and everything on all levels from preschool to academic history on Rome, Roman life, Roman fashion, Roman architecture. I know it influenced the West but is there nothing but academic history books on Byzantium?

What about illustrations of their architecture, blueprints of their palaces? Documenting their way of life? Anyone know any resources?

Basically do people native to areas that were formerly long standing historic nations, and peoples prior to World War I and various other historical events in what is today the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, and other areas consider themselves separate and unique peoples still?

For instance many of these were formerly long-standing countries in which they considered themselves separate peoples. One example comes to mind is the Kingdom of Navarre though that is VERY far back, more recent probably is Bohemia which is a historically separate region and I am sure there are several other good examples (Like the many nations that ended up in the USSR)

I build a house on a vancant street and was happy to live alone. A jewish man came to live on my street. He ask what religon did i practice, i replied none, so he built his house across the street and refuse to let his kids play with mines. A muslim man came to live on my street. He ask what religion did i practice, i replied none, so he built his house on the east of mine, turned his back and prayed every morning. Next a group of Christians came to live on my street. Seeing that there were only three houses on the street they felt that they had discovered a new street. And even gave the street a name. They came to each house and asked the occupants what religion did they practice? They first tried to convert all of us, but we all refused, so they stoned us to death, burned down our houses and declared us the greatest evil in the world, all in the name of their G.O.D. Do you know who "I" am?

Ok, I just read that the USSR aloowed it's members to sucede from the group peacefully, but didn't Russia mobilize a lot of armor to keep some of the more adventurous states under the communist thumb? And if this is true, when did Russia move the tanks in? Was it immeadiately after WW II or later on?
