Events and epochs prior to the First World War, and after that anything that does not fit into any particular category of the era of the world wars or the post-WWII and cold war era. This does also include the subcategory of U.S. history, if the events dealt with do not fit in any of the other categories or is of special interest, like the U.S. Civil War or 9/11 and its aftermath.

The upsurge of nostalgia for Joseph Stalin in Russia is a remembrance of the greatness that Russia achieved during that era, and one which many Russians hope to see renewed. A notable seeming paradox is that this revival of Stalinism is related more to Russian messianic Slavophilism, which sees Russia as having a unique world-mission,…

Two US presidential elections are documented as having been stolen by foreign powers. In fact, both elections were stolen by the same power: Great Britain—the very regime, independence from which the American Revolution supposedly was fought. And its agenda was the same both times: to draw the US into a conflict with Germany on its…

Presidential hopeful Donald Trump seems to have garnered a good deal of support from American voters with his offer to ban immigration to the US by Muslims.

The year 1898 was a landmark in American history. It was the year America went to war with Spain – our first engagement with a foreign enemy in the dawning age of modern warfare.

This gathering was rather unusual in the history of such things, since it involved the discussion of a topic that isn’t talked about in American academia: Are there boundaries to academic inquiry? This was the main theme, using…

The US Army hasn't conducted a concentration operation on US soil since 1942 (when it rounded up and incarcerated Japanese Americans), but the Army has recently put out a detailed manual for its operatives to follow when doing so again – on short notice, it would seem. Just supposing the technique could have some validity…

As a country, Poland over the last few centuries has sort of faded in and out, like the light of a firefly. But when it flares into existence, it has distinguished itself at an activity engaged in by repressive (read: all) states everywhere: the detention and torture of political prisoners for information and useful confessions,…

It will require a war—a big, long war, the kind that causes millions upon millions of deaths and uproots and disperses many millions more besides. You can’t have a Holocaust without these things. But first, let me clarify exactly what I mean by a “Holocaust.” I’m not talking about whatever happened to so many of…
