I read a political science paper ?a decade ago? ?two? that had a hypothesis and some data... it compared the political health of many countries in Africa, post-WWII. If I'm remembering correctly, the "trick" was to have enough resources to not be stuck in subsistence agriculture, BUT the resources had to be... not easily centralizable? Because if they are you get warlords and then oligarchs.

One of my favourite abandoned Italian villas, I have been lucky enough to explore this several times of the years.The interior remains breathtaking despite its decades of standing derelict. Each room is unique, and beautifully ornate. What a grand residence this must have been in its prime! #Italy #Architecture #History

In March ‘76, Abigail Adams wrote to John Adams, then at the Second Continental Congress in Philly. The delegates drafted new laws amid the push for independence, she specifically requested: “Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands.” She argued that men “would be tyrants if they could,” warning of a potential “Rebellion” if women lacked voice or representation in laws.#history

Chiatura, Georgia, is home to a historically fascinating old cable car network. A remarkable and rusty relic of the Soviet era.Built to connect the steep mining town to the surrounding manganese-rich hillsides. These steel cabins once carried miners, residents and ore across the mountains.https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/industrial/soviet-cable-car-network-chiatura-georgia/#History #CableCar #Soviet #Abandoned #Rust #Photography #Explore #Travel

Helluva picture!@CarveHerName

Vietnam, 1965. The footage shows burning villages, terrified civilians, and the full force of American military power. They called it spreading freedom. They called it the American Dream.We call it what it was: a bombing campaign that killed over two million Vietnamese. The propaganda machine wrote the first draft of history. The footage is the correction.Just reminding the world of the truth that was always there, hidden behind the flags and the speeches.#Vietnam #War #us #History #WarCrimes #Truth

@Sheril That plays out weirdly in UK (where pants = underwear ).
