During WWII, the USSR, Great Britain, and the US made up the "Big Three," the alliance that defeated the Nazis and fascism. Why did that alliance fall apart and what led to the Cold War? Who do you believe was at fault for the Cold War and why do you believe that?

Chalcedonians really were wickeder than even Eshmonians or Srebnanitsans.

Chalcedonians?! What are you, a Chalcedonian apologist?! They watched as their neighbors, the Kurbs of Rutvinia got slaughtered by the Eshmonians and then moved in to finish them off. They overtook their land, raped their women, pillaged their villages! Every school child knows this. I can't believe you!

Prove it! They had their hands tied at worst. Are there any actually photos of the slaughtered Kurbs of which you speak? The Eshmonians were way to pre-industrialized to do any real phenocide anyway. That would take brains. They weren't the brightest nation in the Eastern Klaves.

No no, I place the blame on Lichenstoon for failing to pre-ump the Biafrian Army's land grab. No one saw that coming and it shocked the rest of the world as much as it must have shocked the Gaulese who lived there.

I know my history. Here is the map we all know by heart from our 5th grade schoolbooks, which depicts the frontal attack on Kurbistan by Eshmonians and the latter finishing attack by the evil Chalcedonians!!! There. Now you prove YOUR rambling!!!

Chalcedonians clearly used their technological supremacy and annihilated the agrarian population of Kurbistan tout de suite

It's a well known public map of the official history of Eshmonia. Go ahead, hang it!

Dear, silly Dagmar. What are we talking about the battle or the war? As that map clearly shows, Chalcedonia was a small bit player. They sent 3 mounties and a half dozen peacekeepers. No, I still think they were more bystanders than pillagers. Frankly, the size of their arrow is an embarassment. Perhaps the Eshmonians are partly to blame for The War.

But, I think the Biafrian-Gaulese conflict is at least equally to blame. You know, it takes more than one battle to make a War. If you look at the map below, you'll see the Lichenstoon archipelego. Dumb old king, Baffoon Farnarkle, sent all his ships to defend Kurbistan while the Biafriandars were bombing Gauland.

Well, I'll be damned. You're talking this entire time about the First Biafrian War, while the assignment was, clearly, about the Second. Bafoon Farnarkle was not even able to move by then and made most of his decisions on the toilet.

Biafria has diminished as the power of Eshmonia grew. I agree that Eshmonia was just as guilty for the Second Biafrian War, nobody said otherwise. Lichenstoon, as you surely well know, proclaimed neutrality.

That is.... until they got the railroad... We all know that Chalcedonia was defeated economically by the Isles of Lichtenstoon and is now nothing but a large weakling.

You will note that Biafria has, due to King's senility, attacked itself in the Second Biafrian war and it has been a failed state since. Various lords have claimed leadership, most recently some Lord Ellbus has united a few hundred duchies, but it still has ways to go to come back to its previous fame.

That second war was way too complicated for me to ever really get a good grasp on. Maybe I'll tackle the topic tomorrow. Good night!

Hmmm.... Lord Ellbus ..... for some reason that name rings my bells.....
