20 or so about the nature of German colonialism in South-West Africa compared to the Belgian experience in the Congo.
I can only imagine. I mean, the trinité coloniale in the Congo vs ... well, I suppose that would be dependent upon what period of SW African German colonialism we're talking about?
quote:
15 or so about imperial impostors in Russian history, and the execution of the royal family.
One of my favorite topics ... most do not realize that there were others beyond Anna Anderson.
And the execution of the royal family ... frick the Bolsheviks. frick the communists. No one deserved what that family got.
quote:
20 or so about the myth of racial solidarity in the fall of Rhodesia during the Bush Wars.
We need to drink beer and talk history. I know people that fought there in the 70s, against the Chimurenga ... I was actually invited but declined the offer. Contractors were not nearly as accepted then as they are today.
Wally served four tours in Vietnam ... then he was one of the few Americans that went to Rhodesia. To this day every time I heard Warren Zevon's "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" I think of him ... he wore that out when he got home. It was his favorite song ... even though it was about The Congo wars. Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner ... and my ex-wife's family, well, there was a tie there too with regard to The Thompson. Long story.

But the hardest I had was when a professor gave us a hand-written court transcript from 1850 in Greenville, and had us A) transcribe it, and B) use it to explain the themes and true nature of slavery in the Antebellum South. Never been more proud of a B+ in my life.
I'd love to read that.

The German experience in SW Africa is fascinating, to me. Most of the research that I did stemmed from the transition from Leutwein to von Trotha in the colonial government, and how they regarded the natives. von Trotha and Leon Rom (basis for Col. Kurtz in Heart of Darkness) had an awful lot of similarities.
Perhaps even more fascinating than the several decades after the Conference of Berlin was the myriad of Great War battles fought in Africa, and how the English convinced the Afrikaners to fight against the Germans. Some of the bloodiest, most violent, hate-filled battles in the war weren't in France- they were in Tanzania.

Agreed.

Oh wow. In hindsight, there are few wars that were more justified or righteous than that one - and the wrong side lost. Everything that Smith predicted would happen, did. And worse.

I'm down.
If I can ever get back to SC for more than an evening.

Strictly in the U.S.? Lake Placid, Squaw Valley? Los Angeles, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, St Louis? Or world wide?
Modern or since the rebirth?
Big differences I would think.
