My 5 favorite war films i can think of at the time of writing (in no particular order):

@Cordyceps589 @xavier_rz_1 That was unusually generous of the Catholic Church. Didn't they usually consider cults dedicated to folk saints to be heretical?

@FaemothGudako I still haven't managed to get her.

Latvian folk hero Lāčplēsis (Bear-Slayer) locked in eternal struggle with the Black Knight - a German crusader of the Teutonic Order

Legend has it that both fall into the Daugava River, but - perhaps echoing King Arthur - the Bear-Slayer will return to finish the fight.

@Cordyceps589 @xavier_rz_1 Why did she have relics before her canonization?

Thank you so much to all my family that served, for everything.

Give it a few decades and we'll meet for the first time or again.

@YeahNahYourMum @ZeroSumWaifu @ericglas123 Nicholas had advisors telling him against going to war but he overruled them. Nicky, like all the tsars before him, believed he ruled by divine right and had a Panslavic messianic vision of Russia's role in the world.

[LahnaMan @LTSNik]

@YeahNahYourMum @ZeroSumWaifu @ericglas123 Sounds like they both had a crappy political system then.

[LahnaMan @LTSNik]

@ericglas123 Jews did not force the Kaiser to give Austria unconditional support against Serbia and Russia.

@Eldritc26590764 @nik0p0l5 This lead to the emergence of "black widows" who marry and convince gullible suckers to sign up just so they could claim benefits when they inevitably get killed.

🪖📷🇫🇷 Vétérans | Photographié à la nécropole nationale de Douaumont le 11 novembre 1976, cet ancien combattant participe à un rassemblement d’anciens combattants. Pour l’occasion, ce poilu a revêtu sa tenue garance de 1914.

The annual reminder that the guns did not fall silent all across Europe on 11/11/18- far from it! They continued firing for several more years as new states fought for independence, and old states fought to hold onto disputed territory.

@Fed_man_3 And they did it because they wanted to turn Yugoslavia's corpse into Greater Serbia.

They exclusively killed other white Europeans, all kf who were either Christian or one of the most secular Muslim populations on the planet

[leah 💖 @KakarottaLeah]

from brief research it seems as if the discovery of oil and gas in indigenous people's lands in siberia led to the ussr to displace and take their lands as the indigenous people either did not have the skills or did not want to participate in industrialisation

Oh poor Iuliia — as if she hadn’t prostituted herself for the Kremlin enough. Watch her fade into well deserved oblivion.
