My favourite part of modern history is the cold war, my country of choice would be the U.S.S.R
My reasons are simple:
-
They sent the first man into space and sent Sputnik which sent the USA into a space chasing frenzy that made moon discovery possible.
-
Their flag, whilst simple like the PRC, is iconic in both memes but also infamy amongst Eastern European people as a sign of the historical power they wielded over half of Europe. I also just think it’s look cool.
-
Some of their structure sort of lives on in the modern era such as the PRC’s Politburo basically being a chinese version of the soviet one
-
I quite like a lot of the military hardware they made like the T 72 which is my favourite tank.
-
The soviets are responsible for Tetris!!!
What is your favourite historical country? It can be ancient, medieval, colonial era or cold war era etc.
Have a good day/night!
The fact that the Paris Commune existed is just fucking awesome. It was just a confluence of luck that is statistically staggering.
The Haudenosaunee confederation was pretty fucking swell from a governance and justice perspective. And it’s formation, while not ending war by any means, brought on a really stable period of mostly peace.
