I wonder about the reasons to set such a media: is it to target a specific audience or does it want to really provide a different view among all existing media already on air in the US ?I might be paranoid but I don't think it's just another media.I remember when CNN was launched in Europe, ppl were quite curious to know why they came, was it just an American view or something really different than before? Well it was and for both (at least for those who could understand English) especially during the first Gulf war.Today different channels are flooding over the network and I think people just keep watching their local news network.That's why I'm still wondering why they do that ...

Germany started quite late to run into the Scramble for Africa race: 1884.About French involvement in South Africa, most were Huguenots escaping religious persecution, not real colons. The first europeans to settle deep inland and for a long time were the Holländers (boers = peasants)Modify : I think that France was not involved into the colonisation of that part of Africa
Too many to list but:Last Ice Age was 40,000 years ago.Germany alone was responsible for causing WWI.The Soviet Constitution of 1936 gave the USSR the same rights as Americans (WWII propaganda textbook).Napoleon was a meanie -- as a boy he put rocks in his snowballs.
a bad boy putting rocks in his snowballs? Where did you find that? ::)
Very interesting one. Where did you find it?I think it could have been made between 1930-1933 because Hindenburg is still mentioned as president (in office from 1924 until 1934) as well as the world wide economic depression (October 1929) and Ramsay McDonald (in office from 1929 until 1935).
