The Franco-Prussian War

The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Prussian_War">Franco-Prussian War</a> was a very short, but highly important war fought from 19 July 1870 – 28 January 1871.

Within six months, it saw the fall of the Second French empire, the birth of the German Empire (The first time all of the German States, barring Austria, had ever been united under one banner) and saw the newly formed German Empire acquiring large parts of the French states of Alsace and Lorraine.

It was shortly after the end of the war that saw radicalised members of the National Guard who were defending Paris at the time occupying the Capital and refusing to acknowledge the legitimacy of the new government of the Third French Republic in what came to be known as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Commune">Paris Commune</a>.

Although the French started the war in an attempt to re-establish itself as the dominant power in Europe; the utter thrashing it received at the hands of the Germans utterly crushed these dreams and set the groundwork for the World War 1.

This apprehension of growing German power also played a strong part in the creation of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entente_Cordiale">Entente Cordiale</a> which ended of 1000 years of hostilities between England and France in order to counter-act growing German power.

Goddamn Autocorrect!

It's easy to look like an elite force when all you have to fight are unarmed civilians.

So some of you may have noticed that there was two of these up very briefly.

Well, it turns out for some bizarre reason, the original image was 10'912 pixels long for some godforsaken reason.

I've re-uploaded at a far more manageable 2'700 instead.

A Category 5 Shitstorm

The Volkssturm:

For when you've called up every single available fighting man in your country, but then decide <i><b>f--- it</b></i> and call up the rest of them as well.

Hand Grenades and Panzerfaust's for everyone!

"Even the children?"

Especially the children!

Do you know how many 14 year-olds we can fit into a bunker?

A f----load, that's what!

The Cola War That Never Was

One day, back in the 1960's, the Soviet Union <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-pepsi-briefly-became-the-6th-largest-military-in-the-world-2018-7?amp&r=US&IR=T"> brokered a deal with Pepsi</a> where they would give Pepsi Vodka in exchange for Cola Syrup; as the Soviet Rubble was essentially worthless outside of the USSR.

This was all fine and dandy until 1989, when Pepsi had so much vodka that it had ceased to become a profitable trade. So the Soviets just gave them a naval fleet instead in payment for the Pepsi syrup.

The fleet consisted of 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate and a destroyer, which was towed to Sweden and sold for scrap. Disappointing, I know, but not all wacky events from history have exciting conclusions.

For context, the French entered the first world war with the uniform shown below and it took them <a href="https://suburbanmilitarism.wordpress.com/2018/02/25/le-pantalon-rouge/"> until 1915</a> and thousands of deaths to lose the red pantaloons as they were a symbol of French National pride.

In fact, the French minister for war at the time, Eugène Étienne, actually said: “Eliminate the red trousers? Never!"

The Russia of the East

So the wars that Vietnam won in order were:

France: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Indochina_War">The First Indochina War</a>

USA: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War">The Second Indochina War (The Vietnam War) </a>

China <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Indochina_War">The Third Indochina War</a>

As a fun little side note, both America and North Korea provided support for China in the Third Indochina War; which just goes to show that we can all get along.
