What the hell are you talking about?
I'm talking about the Barbary Wars where the US Marines proved themselves by taking Tripoli and was such a triumph it's still in the Marine Corps hymm.
It was a complete and total victory for the United States and it's amusing you're trying to paint it as a crushing and embarassing defeat.
I know, they did extremely well and I even said that luckily the US won the wars and stopped the rampant slavery, and piracy enjoyed by the Barbary pirates. But the beginning of the war didn't go too well, what with the Philadelphia running aground and being captured, which was one of the US's best ships at the time. It was destroyed thanks to the Marines, who were able to sneak up and fight their way to the ship. The rest of the war (first Barbary war) didn't actually stop piracy, but it set the grounds for the wildly successful second one. So no, it wasn't a complete and total victory (well for the first one anyway, it failed to really achieve it's goals).
Are you forgetting that the Soviet Union was in World War II or something? Hitler literally invaded the Soviet Union as a preemptive strike because Stalin was preparing to do the same to him. Your precious Soviet Union wuznt gud boys who dindu nuffin.
How embarrassing. Not knowing basic history of a country you spend half your political posts masturbating over does not make you look very good at all.
Actually, I've revised my opinion. I think that he did indeed plan to invade Germany, but that has no bearing on the beginning of World War 2 because Hitler had other reasons to invade Russia and it's doubtful that Hitler was trying to protect Germany from the Evil Empire. So ultimately, the beginning of WW2 has no connection to the Soviet Union especially because it began on the invasion of Poland. Here's a wikipedia article (I know, I know. If you want to know more, follow the citations)

Finally, may I ask how a plan to invade Germany before the Germans invaded the USSR=USSR starting World War 2?
EDIT: Oh and Hitler did not invade the USSR because they were going to invade him. There's no evidence he knew that at all AND there's a lot more to Barbarossa then Hitler deciding to hit first. He wanted their natural resources, land and the eradication of Communism.
Russians aren't "technically White" they ARE White. I don't get why Crni separated them from White people in his post lol.
Not to mention him refering to "moslems" as if they're a race and not a belief system.
Agreed, that was kind of weird. Don't you hate it when people act as if the Muslims are a race?
Almost all of Africa was under European control. A large part of the colonies were in Africa. And it's not like others suffered either. In India there was slavery widows were still being burned alive until the British told them to knock that shit off.
It depends on what year you consider. Together, the colonies in North America, South America, India, Asia take up more space then in Africa, but fair enough. During the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century most colonies were indeed in Africa.
Not when talking about a majority of Africa....
Or would you like to educate about that rich Zulu culture than spawned a mighty empire?
Firstly it depends on what you mean by culture. Secondly I was referring to India, parts of Asia and Afghanistan (wasn't always a terrorist ridden hellhole). Also, parts of North Africa, South America and some of the African coasts (kingdom of Mali and all that).
And now that it's over how is Africa doin?
That might be also due to the destructive nature of the various revolutions and take overs that led to African nations becoming independent. Not every African nation is a poverty ridden fuck up.
