I would have to say lincoln also. He took everything to heart that happened, The burdens of the civil war he carried as his personal responsibility.
General history chat isnt really 'just chat' it's still specific in that the posts have to do with history. I thni the minimum should be lowered a bit, but I see what Phid is getting at. So Rhino56 was any part of my guess close?
Well kinda, General von Emmich at Liege, August 1914 Belgium.The Fall of Liege - Letter from a German Officer, August 1914General Leman's defence of Liege combined all that is noble, all that is tragic.The commander of one fort (note: not Leman), at the moment when the bombardment was heaviest, went mad, and shot his own men. He was disarmed and bound. The cupola of another fort was destroyed by a bomb from a Zeppelin. Other forts were swept away like sand castles on the seashore before the relentless waves of the oncoming tide.As long as possible General Leman inspected the forts daily to see that everything was in order. By a piece of falling masonry, dislodged by our guns, both General Leman's legs were crushed.....http://www.firstworldwar.com/source/fallofliege.htmSource: Source Records of the Great War, Vol. II, ed.

This is a topic i seem to be well versed in despite my lack of even wanting to know this stuff.SEO (search engine optimization) im sure in your search for finding ways to get more traffic you have run into this or maybe even have a great amount of knowledge in it. Either way i would say dont waste your time and energy in trying to learn about it. Its basically a cheat when it comes down to it. Google and other search engines do a fine job of searching out sites, when you do massive seo it tries to up the page rank and it can do that quite well also. The problem with it is as soon as the search engines get modified to compensate for such seo practices the sites that were way up top fall way down low. In some cases maybe even blacklisted so the google bot wont be back again. 🙁There is no replacement for content, eventually this site will be ranked in search engines as it should be. with the amount of relevant content it has. So stay focused on what you seem to be best at and dont worry about the rest. It will all be history shortly.lolHaving outside links to your website will help the most. Try doing link exchanges with other relevant sites. all they can say is no, but all it does it help both sites. but dont let it take time away from actually adding content to the site.be thankful for the bots, even though they are spammers they are another member signed up, while this doesnt do anything other than say we have XXX members and so many topics and this many people online. that plays a big factor on if people will join or not.So if they spam delete it and ban them but they also may be the cause of someone deciding to join or not to join. Nobody goes to a cemetary to find friends or advice.So although it would be great to have a perfect forum with no spam members and ever person active, but that probably wont happen. Even members who have many great posts might become stagnant or just burnt out on it for long periods of time. this is really quite normal.Word of mouth, bumper stickers, signs in areas like schools that are eye catching, and most of all, what do you have here that historyforums doesnt? the content is everything, and having unique content is what will do the best for you. (even though most sites will steal it right away)The most important thing that will be tested by this website is you, your longevity and your ability to persevere when it isnt becoming all you hoped for, and all you thought it might, when it lets you down and all hope for it seems lost, hopefully a revelation will come for it, maybe it will be you.
Hint; it is not in the united states of america and while granted it would be nice if every post a person made were lengthy making a minimum of 20 words seems quite excessive. how about 4?
Digging in our own backyard one day my family found a license plate from 1910. Sure its not BC but it was a neat thing to find in the city of saginaw MI
amazing that you guys are getting these, can you guess this one? probably be pretty easy for you guys lol
Doesnt have to be a rhyme, maybe just a saying or something that was handed down for generations within the language. Its funny how common knowledge such things are yet many of them we never really think of the. origin
I would agree that not only is it a common theme in civilizations on a large scale but also right down to a small scale of a marriage.
I didnt know that there was a debate on what it actually was. Bacillus yersinia pestis was my understanding of it.
Good point. I think this is the case no matter who is occupying who. Wouldn't we be resentful if we were occupied by a foreign nation?
Myself personally if a ruler like Saddam Hussein was our dictator i would have been happy to been invaded by those trying to free me given who i am and the knowledge i have today. If i were raised within that dictatorship being brainwashed with the propaganda i may also feel differently.
The bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki can be looked at from a different perspective also.Approximately 214,000 people died from the dropping of what was called "little boy" on Hiroshima and "Fat man" on Nagasaki.It was a small percentage of the over 56,000,000 people killed in WWII. It was the catalyst that causes Japans surrender and helped to end the war.So it's easy to look at it from the standpoint of a massive amount of people killed by WMD, but how long would Japan have fought on if it weren't for those bombs, how many more than that number of people would have suffered and died. That would almost surely have been more than 214,000. Japan had lost 2,000,000 lives in WWII so although 240,000 is certainly a lot of people, its even a small percentage of their total losses.
