The entire reason there were Anglo-Saxon settlers in Texas and California was because Mexico couldn't control or settle the territory and wanted somebody else to handle the Comanches before they swooped in and claimed it for themselves. Mexico's pre-war borders were little more than lines on a map made by Spain which they continued to claim until the US kicked their ass and forced them to sell them off to get themselves out of another ass-kicking.

I love how Santa Anna's ineptitude lost not only Texas but also much of the southwest

I mean mexico was fucked either way because they didnt have the large reserves of yeomanry to help settle a frontier and he couldnt create that yeomanry without land reform which would piss off his key supporters

It's almost as if yeoman societies are superior and a militarized middle class/owner class tend to make pretty dedicated soldiers

It's also a good way to expend the energies of your restless and ambitious male population that may otherwise become destabilizing elements within society.

This also works well with a system of government that clearly delineates power between distinct offices each with an certain level of authority over each other and a circulating meritocratic system of elites that expend their energies competing with each other for the good of the state rather than figuring out ways to gather more power and oppress the lower classes. Of course, such a system heavily relies upon a culturally homogenous population that values success and honors the land as well as the traditions of their ancestors.

On the topic:

Adrian Goldsworthy has been recommended before on here. He doesn't have the flashiest production value and he tends to go on long digressions, but it's always very insightful.

It's also Julius Caesar month. Once again, I'm reminded how most of the history I was taught in school was about niggers and not once do I remember being taught a thing about the man so consequential that his name became synonymous with the concept of supreme power. He's got an entire month named after him in the only valid calendar system. Who else can say that? (except for his great-nephew). Imagine how gay our world would be if July was called Cintill instead or something retarded like that.

So how did they cover WW2?

So how did they cover WW2?

Pretty much the US (and a little bit of Britain) going over to Europe to beat the bad evil Nazis

[The Secret Sauce]

So how did they cover WW2?

They didn't, really. Eisenhower wasn't mentioned, Churchill wasn't mentioned, Midway wasn't mentioned, the African theater wasn't mentioned. The only events of World War 2 that were covered were:
-The holocaust
-Pearl Harbor
-The holocaust
-Hiroshima
-The holocaust
-Nagasaki
-The holocaust
-the fact that some women got factory jobs to support the war effort

American history "education" actively makes one more ignorant about history.

When I was a young lad we didn't even read a single classic from the Western canon in our literacy classes. Nearly every historical fiction book given to us was written in the last 30 years was about oppressed groups with the subgenres that fell squarely under a few categories:
>Ethnics immigrating to US and dealing with racism
>Blacks in US dealing with racism
>Native Americans dealing with racism
>Women suffering from sexism and/or racism
>The Holocaust
I remember choosing the Holocaust books because I liked World War 2 and would always get excited when the SS guys because things got marginally less gay for a while.

In our US history classes, instead of the focus of learning being on the wars, competing philosophies, economics, presidencies, or geopolitics the curriculum was always one long narrative about how the United States was a fundamentally flawed creation then slowly 'fixed' as more of the intersectionals got rights and representation. We'd spend more time learning some nobody who's only achievement was "advocating for the rights of X ethnic group" than, for instance, how tariffs effected the national economy or foreign policy in South America, or anything more important than the first Korean-American representative who did nothing in office or whatever dumbshit like that. At most, the actually interesting topics would only get a token mention in the "honors" high school classes.

Demented liberal women who hate young boys for reminding them of their fathers and ex-husbands, ancient Marxist professors, and government-funded Holocaust advocacy groups have devasted the US education system more than any stereotypical racist white conservative public school-hating politician that exists only in conspiracies could ever do.

Not to toot my own horn but I was redpilled by grade school after noticing these patterns of clear anti-white racism in the curriculum. Also hearing the phrase "old white men" from a teacher used with more venom than any modern day racist could dream of conjuring up and being expected to see that as acceptable behavior. It fucks you up, badly.

Emp video.

Apparently Garfield never wanted to be president. After 20 rounds of voting at the convention people started saying "fuck it, Garfield".

I remember in 7th grade I had One Based history teacher, he tried his absolute hardest to make sure we learned as much as we could about history. One of the more memorable things we had was when we got to the nuking of Japan, in the lead up to it he made sure to highlight both the war situation that lead to the bombs being dropped, including the fact that Truman and the higher-ups were worried about the Soviets trying to invade Japan and split it like they wanted to do to Germany. As well as the fact that Japan perpetuated a massive rape/murder civilians, campaign in China to kind of justify why we did what we did.

We had this one illegal immigrant girl, who was like "well I'm glad I'm Mexican because you Americans are monsters for what you did to Japan."

He made her stay back after class on our lunch period to read about the Rape of Nanking, she broke down crying.

Based as fuck. He also would gleefully tell us about how the Soviets deserved everything they got during the war, his family was Polish so it doesn't surprise me.

>All this between 5th and 8th grade

I had the benefit of being homeschooled, so I was never exposed to how dropping the bombs were being weaponized until going off to college.

The very first history class I had, just basic American History 101, the carpetbagger professor tried to lead the class into coming to the conclusion we nuked Japan because we were racist. No mention of the war was made. Thankfully more than a few people actually knew the context around bomb being dropped and gave him enough pushback he lost control of the class that time.

I went to a "special education" school in Switzerland and even there we had:
>Charglemane and founding of the HRE
>HRE in 13th/14th century, with brief mentions of the Crusades, Reconquista, Mongols and Muslims
>Founding of Switzerland
>Switzerland in the era around the Burgundian Wars
>Reformation (our focus was mostly on Zwingli and Calvin with Luther just being that German guy who came up with the idea)
>Colonization (it was way more nuanced compared to other western countries and not just "muh poor brownoids got exploited)
>French revolution
>Napoleonic Wars
>Industrialisation with brief mention of the Sonderbund War
>WW1 including the entire lead up to it with the tl;dr of it being "foreigners are war mongering retards"
>WW2 with crying about the holobunga (a buddy of mine who attended a normal school had a class in which everybody questioned the official stories)
>almost nothing about the cold war
Calling that shithole a "school" would be a massive overstatement but it's nice to know that it was still better than going to a burger school.

Our history teacher assigned us homework to imagine that we were alive during those days and write a letter to the president advocating for or against the atomic bomb's usage against Japan. We were not allowed to use future knowledge in our letters and would be docked points if we relied on information that would not have been available in early 1945.

ETA: early 1945, not early 1944. My bad.

The teacher was really cool, he had an assignment he'd do as a final test every semester where he'd make us memorize and give a speech from whatever era we were in, it'd be a specific portion of said speech but if we went above and beyond and memorized and presented the whole thing while dressed up as the person giving the speech he'd give us an automatic A on the map quiz we had to take.

If 80 percent of the class got an A on the assignment, he'd give everyone an A on the map quiz, and we'd have a pizza party/twilight zone marathon in class. That only happened twice in the whole year, from what I can remember.

If you fell asleep in the dudes' class, he'd either walk by your desk with a yardstick and whack it, or he'd bring a stack of 4 textbooks, those old ones that were harder than a tile floor, and drop them on your desk as loud as he could to wake you up. One of my other favorite memories of him was when we got to the Civil Rights movement; he gave everyone specific people to research and make a presentation about, and this one really stupid black chick got Martin Luther King. This girl walks up to the front of the room, confidently, opens her presentation, and begins it by saying, "Martin Luther King JR was known for being the King of England, and dying to free the slaves." Our teacher paused all the presentations for 20 minutes to take her outside and yell at her for her lack of research and stupidity.

The worst history teacher I had, though, were all in Highschool. One was a straight-up gay black communist, and the other was a woman who was a very obvious hippie. When we got to Vietnam in her class, she absolutely refused to teach why the war happened or how it happened, just that it was "bad" and that America deserved to lose. She got very upset because this was back in like 2011-2013 when Abortion and so on were fresh topics for people to talk about, and she'd make us debate all the time, and I'd always be in the opposition for topics like Gay Marriage, Abortion or Illegal Immigration since she knew I was a Conservative Christian.

Unfortunately for her, most of the people supporting those things in my class were black or illegal, and had the IQ of a fish.
