oh, I only know a bit about Eastern Klaves in Klavia Minor.... the Klavia Major history I don't dare touch. But I heard you were erudite in those matters and hope you can help us paint the whole picture.

The problem with any disucssion of Klavia Major is the constant whirl of changing tribal alliances and clan confederations--it is so easy to lose one's way, and soon one cannot tell a Luxavian sept from an Oligidite clan--largely because of the recurrence of dynastic names. I mean, with fifteen different clan leaders named Czyklnzyg in the period of the Stalhapian usurpation alone it just becomes bewildering.

Hey, I lost my father's uncle's second cousin Gilbert in the Second Biafrian War!

He ended up in Eastern Lowest Frigia. Took him six weeks and 17 detours to get home. Never did find his luggage. Damned Biafrian trains...

I'm so sorry to hear that, blacksmith. The Second Biafrian war took its toll on almost every family at the time. My grandmother Postrckostrc was also involved in the war. She joined the underground partisan movement in Kurbistan that fought on two fronts - one against the invading Chalcedonians and the other in the hills of Eshmonia. She lost her leg climbing over one of the dreaded Biafrian trains - she fell under as the train started moving towards Lichtenstoon. But she still did not give up. Postrckostrc devised a fake leg out of fujaza, the long wooden wind instrument used by the Oligite clan in their festivities. She got a violet kidney medal from the President of the liberated Kurbistan after the war. We still have it displayed in our china cabinet along with the hideous porcellain collection from Aunt Zelga.

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?


heres my best response:

The alliance fell apart due to communist fears in the U.S. I believe there was never a friendly alliance b/w the russians and the americans. It was just a mirage inorder to defeat the bigger threat. Someguy from germany or something. Look at what happened in japan. The U.S did not want USSR to get involved. The U.S thought if USSR got involved in Japan, than they would be looking for an incentive. so after WWII, there were only two major powers. USSR with the biggest army in the World. And America with an untouched economy and the nuke. We feared the communist USSR, and this can be seen when truman issued the truman doctrine. And
the marshall plan and the berlin airlift. We were going to do anything to hold the spread of communism. Dont feel like writing anymore. hopeit heps.

What does he know. I myself am from The Isles of Lichtenstoon. We lived the war. It was rough, man. Rough I tell you.

Tell me about it. My grandparents were refugees from the Isles of Langerhans. The stories they could tell about the Chalcedonian atrocities would curl your hair-- or straighten it if it started out curly.
