Breaking my hiatus for a moment.
I implore everyone who sees this post, especially our American #Nauts to please watch this video.
I cannot believe I haven't come across this yet in my studies on world history. This 1 hr and 50 min video by Ryan Chapman explains everything some of us have been trying to purvey for years but have sorely missed the mark on regarding Fascism and how it rises.
If this won't change minds, I'm not sure what will. Take care.☮
@Tacitus_Kilgore A missing component in this history dive was the role of Stalin and the fascists government that was the the Soviets (called communism by some). One only has to look to invasion of Poland.
@Kaos_vs_Control My guess is that because this video is about what "triggered" the Second World War and the Russian invasion happened a little more than two weeks after Germany invaded he didn't include Stalin's role.
I agree though it would have been nice to see even a small segment as to what was happening in Russia, to the actual beginning of the war.
@Tacitus_Kilgore
Recall the war between Russia and Poland in 1920. The partnership between Russia and Germany was all about Imperialism/fascist states. Spain was just a testing ground.
@Kaos_vs_Control To be honest I forgot about that. Good point.
