My favourite part of modern history is the cold war, my country of choice would be the U.S.S.R
My reasons are simple:
-
They sent the first man into space and sent Sputnik which sent the USA into a space chasing frenzy that made moon discovery possible.
-
Their flag, whilst simple like the PRC, is iconic in both memes but also infamy amongst Eastern European people as a sign of the historical power they wielded over half of Europe. I also just think it’s look cool.
-
Some of their structure sort of lives on in the modern era such as the PRC’s Politburo basically being a chinese version of the soviet one
-
I quite like a lot of the military hardware they made like the T 72 which is my favourite tank.
-
The soviets are responsible for Tetris!!!
What is your favourite historical country? It can be ancient, medieval, colonial era or cold war era etc.
Have a good day/night!
Free City of Danzig 1920-39
Bohemia
The Roman Republic.
The Zapatists, of course. Or if we go by past ones, the Makhnovshchina movement!
A mass movement to have liberation from authoritarianism AND capitalism? Count me in!
Gonna have to agree with the USSR, the fall to Capitalism has been devastating not only for the former-Soviet countries, but workers around the world.
