>The bombings of the "Eternal City" were controversial for several reasons. Rome had been the capital city of Italy for around 70 years, but large parts of the city were more than 2,500 years old. The neutral Vatican City sat within Rome, and the Vatican also owned many churches and other buildings outside its territory but within Rome city limits. Many Americans were against a major destruction of Rome. However, the British War Cabinet refused to see bombing Rome as a crime against humanity.
>60,000 tons of bombs were dropped in the 78 days before Rome was captured by the Allies on June 4, 1944.[3]
>Invaluable history
>Yeah kill it

Didn't we still bomb the hell out of it? I remember reading that we bombed/nuked a lot of the area Japanese-Americans came from (south Japan)
Easton Thomas
they sowed the wind
Liam Baker
No it's one of the few cities that weren't bombed.
Zachary Jones
Japan deserved some more nukes dropped on them though. For everything they did in asia.

>another episode of this country is good today so they were always good
Imperial Japan was a literal militarist hellhole
Brayden Taylor
Japan should’ve chose more sagacious diplomats who could evade the total war.
Before Pearl Harbor, Japanese politicians were aware of the high probability that Japan would lose the war against US.
Kevin Robinson
Even during the war, Japan has caused more deaths within the Kingdom of the Netherlands than Japan ever had.
And it doubled after the war.
Jayden Nguyen
During the war there were 3 to 4 million civilian deaths. And after the war there were up to another 2 or 3 million civilian deaths.
Japan had 2,5 to 3,1 million deaths, which were mostly military.
Gavin Green
That's the other way around. This country was good before (Kyoto, culture and shit) so they won't be always bad (spare Kyoto pls).
Mason Myers
>And after the war there were up to another 2 or 3 million civilian deaths.
How ? (and how the fuck is japan responsible kek)
Hunter Carter
The power vacuum caused a civil war basically. Between the rebels who wanted an independent Indonesia and the established order from before WW2.
Eventually America decided to side with the rebels. Which meant Indonesia could no longer be kept safe. So everyone who supported the regime or was a bit european had to leave.
After the rebels were given control over Indonesia, they joined the communists in the cold war. So some other faction decided to commit a coup. And that coup was followed by a political genocide to purge the nation of the political opponents.
Ryan King
Indonesia remained a dictatorship until 1998. They had one ""president"" from 1945 to 1967 and the second ""president"" from 1968 to 1998.

The bombings of Rome didn't really involve the historical neighbourhoods, they were all outside the city centre afaik.
