I write about history. Mainly misconceptions of Winston Churchill that catch my eye. A key cog in the stranglehold of imperialism.

Lies. The British aristocracy, and the Empire's upper classes more generally, fell at a far higher rate than the enlisted men. As officers who led the charge, they were among the first to be raked by machine gun fire. Don't fall for Jacobin's ahistorical crap.

12 November 1912. The frozen remains of British explorer Robert Scott and his exploration team were found on the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica. The last entry in Scott’s diary was on the 29 March 1912 and it’s assumed this was the date on which he died.

Nom Carver Daniel Ortġeard Academic Agent These guys just invert the boomer WWII mythology. There's no attempt to actually de-politicize it and understand all the strategic interest in play.

According to Grok, the total amount demanded of Germany at Versailles was ~£19 trillion in today’s money. This was imposed on a defeated nation and led to the worst war in history. Any nation involved in this demand is an enemy of Britain and should be treated as such.

Since William Dalrymple is once again on the timeline, I would just to remind everyone about this extraordinary passage in his book ‘In Xanadu’ in which he recounts a conversation in which he reveals that he thought rape was rarer in PAKISTAN of all places, than in the West.

Tucker ignores all of the context behind the UK’s decision to join the War and hyper fixates on the fact that Britain wasn’t directly attacked by Germany before doing so. Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland after giving repeated assurances he wouldn’t. This breached the Locarno

Anyone who says that the number ethnic Germans killed by Poles was greater than c5.5k is lying. Reich authorities actually produced a list of the names of the victims. If the list is incorrect, it errs on the side of being exaggerated

The Polish corridor was not predominantly ethnically German. Only the Free City of Danzig was, and it had special political arrangements recognizing its character.
