Turkish made? A few years ago in Turkey. A nail new bus, the Turkish driver proudly claiming that it was assembled in Turkey. Two days later. Heavy rain.

That xxx bus became a shower cabin, water leaking in everywhere. Directly on the seats.

The driver was not so proud of "Turkish made" that...

Don't be nasty to the airborne, the only Tiger the Marines fought had stripes. ;-)

It was a hard war for all.

@07brki What's a toy? No game? Using "shut up" ? Not jailed in Tottenham?

@conspiracydog11 Well, the Dutch try to have another way with drugs. And they have the same problems.

I guess your ancestor was one of the Yorktown prisoners who changed sides. The terms of capitulation included the exchange with “Patriot” POW’s. The congress declared that the commanders at York...

London wanted the colonies for the mercantilistic system, just to get some materials unavailable at home like the wood for the RN. Industry over a local level was forbidden.They had no interest in deep colonisation that added only to the costs. The settlers, land speculators, smugglers, and some ...

Slavery was only a minor aspect for most who fought in ACW. Another? The north wanted high taxes on imports to sell his own products. The south wanted low taxes to trade his cotton on a fair base. French and British high quality goods for good cotton, not Yakee rubbish. Most Yankees had no intere...

One Tarleton "crime": Battle of Waxhaw, 29th May 1780,Tarleton with 150 horsemen attacked ca. 350 Virginia Continentals under Abraham Buford. The net result was 5 killed and 12 wounded Loyalists but 113 dead Patriots and 203 captured. 150 of them badly wounded. American and Loyalist sources ag...

Superb song but no national anthem. A hymn? Not realy. A war song, yes. A great piece of music, absolutely. British (!) forces used it to get the men to fight.

Was there a Scottish nation before the English came? Lowlanders despised the Highlanders for centuries, Highland clan chiefs fought for...

Well chappy, replace aristorates with eurocrates and you would be right. Capitalism is not bad in itself, only if special laws take the money from the poor and spare the rich. That's what we can see in Greece. The rest of Europe pays for the banks and some rich Greeks. The Greeks themselves seem ...

@123FishCrazy The public record office is no library, it keeps every document of the state. No problem to trace the money paid for taxes in a certain year at a certain place, I answered why London kept the colonies: For materials. There was no interest in the interior. A small stripe of the coast...

@warwatcher91 Surely not, I have the GS cap in my own collection. They are not rare and 30 years ago there had been large stocks of original WW II items. Battle dress, helmets, caps. Thank you for reasoning why they did it wrong. My personal view is simple, nobody cared. Perhaps Michael tried a...

As a child I liked this movie. But it's only a movie. Surcouf made his first prizes without a letter of marque, a pirate. The local French (!) seized them but some money spent in France got him a retrospective letter. Money makes the world go round . He was brave, lucky but he never attacked a ...

The wounded oger Tavington go away, not mutilating the nerv-racking baby patriot. But that "good" boy go to Tavington (presumed dead) and plans to do something with the knive.

So who is the insane butcher? Tavi has good reasons for his terror actions. Suppressing terrorists that attack the peace...

Coloured soldiers fought bravely in every war from ACW to WW 2. And every time the army treated them like trash. Worse at home. It must have been an absurd experience to come home from Germany, fighting for "freedom" and being not allowed to sit down where you wanted. They told them that the ra...

Not only is this scene a stupid adaption of the Oradour murders, it also get the people to believe that the Loyalists are the killers in AWI. In fact 3/4 of butchered civilists in this war had been Loyalists, living in rural areas undefendable against the Rebels actions. No wonder that few dared ...

@zexion4real The ius primae noctae is a myth. The man had to pay a tax for mariage and the droit de cuiisage was a symbolic act. No real rape. Many Scottish nobles had Norman roots so they followed the same rules as the brothers in the south and took the tax. Please don't believe Hollywood or th...
