Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

August 2, 1879.  I just can't take that day seriously.   :mad:

It is the least serious day in history.

It is an incredibly embarrassing period, still not really talked about much. It seems the Dutch were collectively out of their minds for a few years.

Everybody was.  WWII was a period of insanity and it took awhile for everybody to recover from the trauma.

Which is what makes the immediate aftermath so forgettable.  Lots of crazy shit happened but since everybody was kind of crazy none of it really went anywhere or signaled long term trends.

Say, 1660-1789.

Why?
Boring. Silly. Complicated. Gross.

But that was back when our countries were still together  :(

Brits like to pretend the War of Independence doesn't matter to them, even though you know it kills them inside that we whipped their Redcoat asses.
