#TIL that early in WW2, radar tech was still meant to be a state secret in the UK, but was being taught openly as "Radio Physics" in some Canadian universities.As a result, the Royal Canadian Navy was able to recruit university students who already understood radar, and many of them went on into the Royal Navy to help train the UK engineering and physics recruits who didn't.(Source: N.A.M.

"For Fascism the tendency to Empire, that is to say, to the expansion of nations, is a manifestation of vitality; its opposite, staying at home, is a sign of decadence." - Benito Mussolini, 1932.#fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

Fascism treats women as mere breeders. "Children, kitchen, and church" was the Nazi slogan for women.#fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

@bobthetraveler Just saw that exact plaque on my trip last month.

@obtener So the Anaconda Plan was basically the long game, and by 1864 it was clear that was the only way to win. Makes you wonder how much blood and treasure could have been saved if they’d listened to Scott from the start.

"The signing of the Magna Carta, the Wars of the Roses and the English Civil War. Three topics Reform UK wants English schools to cover, and also staging posts in the development of British liberalism, an ideological movement that Reform seems largely to oppose. What gives?

@ObsidianUrbex I think it should be "seized" but maybe it's a British-English term? Or worse, poetry?

We talk a lot about the German armed forces in WW1 and WW2. But the Weimar-era military, arguably both saved then broke the republic.On this week's Untitled History pod, I talk about the forgotten history of the Reichswehr with Dr Chris Dillon #history https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/the-untitled-history-podcast?selected=BATTLEGUIDETOURSLTD5306028226

The pattern is clear: Rome, Britain, and now Silicon Valley. Empires don't fall because they innovate too slowly, but because they hoard power and smother the local, messy resilience that kept them adaptable. Centralization is the seductive prelude to collapse, not the proof of strength. #History #Tech #Sustainability

Every empire tells itself its resource grabs are unique, justified by necessity. From Roman grain to Persian Gulf oil, the extraction script barely changes-only the technology and rhetoric get an update. #history #geopolitics #ResourceExtraction

The pattern repeats: Rome, Britain, America's tech titans - each centralizes power, mistakes control for strength, and crumbles when the rigid center can't adapt. True resilience isn't built by hoarding resources but by distributing them. #History #Decentralization #Resilience
