I think we're slowly realizing the dawn of civilization wasn't sumar 4,000 years ago but actually in Turkey 13,000 years ago. Which is absolutely incredible

I think people are missing the point here. This was constructed by a special division of the Japanese military. It has more to do with getting the people and more so Chinese soldiers addicted and reliant during WARTIME! Possibly hindered their decision making during war and slowed down their physical movement.

THIS IS MORE THAN JUST CIGARETTE BRANDING OF A CIGARETTE COMPANY AND FOR COMMERCIAL SALE.

Please keep me posted on what you learn! I wonder if, when the indoor toilet was finally presented, everyone said something like, “why would I buy that when I have a perfectly good bucket that my dad and grandad used!” 😂🤣

Might binge the latin spanish dub

And no comment on whether it had an impact

Imagine if cigarette smokers got addicted to something. It would be chaos!

Also, Sudetenland was like the mountainous defensive part of Czechoslovakia. Germany in 1938 may have taken some serious time to overcome, and with Britain and France on the other side of a 2 front war, Germany would have had it's hands full, and that's 1938 Germany, only 5 years into Hitler's reign that started in 1933.

I have a memory of reading somewhere that a coup would have happened, before an invasion. Like General Beck and some other guys were all set to do the coup, until they heard Chamberlain was coming back to Munich. I think Munich was the third attempt to resolve with diplomacy, after another trip failed ( bad gotesburg?, sorry for spelling...I only listen to history audiobooks to help me sleep).

I believe some of the surviving generals testified that if Munich hadn't happened, Hitler wouldn't have backed down, and the plan to depose him would have gone forward. Of course, these men were also trying to live through Nuremberg, so their honesty and reliability is questionable.

Did any Native American tribes have a “special operations” type of warrior class? I’m familiar with the Cheyenne Dog Soldiers and the Brave Hearts of the Lakota Sioux but was wondering if there were more? Also, any recommended media that I could watch/read?

I read the article, but either missed it or they didn't mention how this was dated. I've been really interested in human migration and development lately, and this is quite interesting. There's just a near infinite amount of stuff we do not know about our ancestors and every little bit helps.

Wow, that’s really interesting, thank you!

This certainly sparked my interest in the subject, I'll search for books about this, a documentary on the history of human waste management would not be pleasant to watch for me at least lol

They had something like indoor plumbing in the Indus Valley as well, centuries ago, but it seems like someone somewhere would’ve done something. We hear stories that you could smell London from miles away, and that if you went to the Louvre you ran a risk of stepping in human poo. But people just kept crapping in buckets? Its madness.

I mean the answer is much more complex than I am capable of putting into words, but remember romans had very adequate waste management, and native people in the americas never had a human waste issue like the europeans.

The modern toilet is a fairly new invention, but so is the whole notion of privacy, medieval people in general did not expect nor wished for complete privacy, wealthy or not.

It is also worth mentioning that the notion of cleanliness varied greatly from our modern understanding, people were more concerned about odors and "humors" and bacteria and infectious diseases were not properlly understood.

I believe it all led to mismanadgement. I believe the catholic church did play a role with their concept that bathing was bad, and the whole exarcerbated villification of the human body in general.

I'm sorry I don't have a definitive answer but I hope I may have beem able to present a few points of consideration.

Tldr they exported cigarettes laced with opium to china so people would become addicted to their brand, that brand was banned in Japan

I am not fully certain but I'll argue that the american colonies where profitable due to the taxes that the crown charged from them (the spark of the revolution was raised taxes after all), I would also think that any colony trying to be independent would be a serious issue, if for no other reason thay it could be an incentive for other (and more valuable) colonies to revolt if they were sucessful
