The US was much more involved in Asia than they were in Europe. supposedly it was about general ww2 history, it just sounded like us ww2 history with how it was held | ||

Japan would have probably stopped being jerks if everyone one of their allies was already blown up? and america made them denounce their emperor as a god or w.e. which is pretty messed up. That was the argument that was held, which was pretty fair enough considering their never surrender mentality throughout the Pacific scene. As for the post-ww2 agreements with the Japanese, I wouldn't know enough about that to comment. | ||

Summit is kinda like HSC for Dota, player/casters, with Gang Beasts inbetween matches, also, token Black^ guy. The games are pretty whacky honestly. Half entertaining, half wtf is this | ||

I read that a bomber that bombed Dresden during ww2 said that if we don't win we will be charged for war crimes. As for history I did ww1, ww2, French revolution, Russian revolution, the great leap, vikings!, Swedish imperial history. | ||

Half entertaining, half wtf is this Well, we have 4 genuine T1 teams (EG, Vici, Secret C9), one that no one knows where the fuck they belong (Team Tinker), and the Peruvians (Not Today) C9 is also...I want to call them a T1 team, but then they have games like that one, or worse, where they just up and lose to like Vega Squadron or some other T2 team, or they get a massive lead, and then throw or PieLieDie's tactical feeding ends up just being feeding.... Fuck C9, why must you tug on heart strings?  | ||

From what I have read its often seen as as way to influence the world and show up as world power leading into the cold war. This is a pretty awesome troll post, IMO. Nukes dropped on Japan clearly more evil than holocaust. Or I mean, more evil than the salting of Carthage, if we want to be all "All of History" about it. | ||

Would I get away with referring to the "imperialist American invasion of Vietnam"? How is that war treated down south nowadays? | ||

I thought it was labeled as crimes against humanity. it was a crime against humanity. although the parts of the holocaust where they killed civilians of occupied countries (mostly poland) was also a war crime in addition to that | ||

Obviously that's a lot of people, but there are plenty of things that killed way more and were less justified. The imperialist Italian invasion of Ethiopia killed 750 000 people, many by illegal chemical weapons which is way worse than instant death to a bomb. Pretty much. I mean Colonial Africa is pretty much a checkerboard of things that shouldn't of happened. If you want to go way back, the Romans sure as hell wasn't civil about those who pissed them off. Nor the mongol empire. History is littered with death and atrocities to a point that to start listing them off would lessen the impact as you'd think it the norm. People have the ability for great evils and great goods. *shrug* This is getting too heavy thou so can we move on? Vietnam is treated as a "we shouldn't of done that" and the reasoning we got involved was a paranoia of Domino theory and the gulf of tonkin incident(which is explained as shady at the very least) | ||

We wouldn't be happy being called imperialist for it. as we weren't attempting to control the country like the french were who left before us. We would call it one of the biggest mistakes in american history to have even gone there in the first place. i don't know many non war-hawks that think the vietnam war was a good idea. | ||
