w-what?

wonder how Biafra could've lost out with the support of the likes of Haiti and the Vatican

and France

Not at all.
They had lost within the first two years. But continued a guerrila war.

Oh man...

You have to understand that during this war Paraguay was originally an ally of Uruguay, and it was solely against Brazil.
But Paraguay had bet on Argentina hopping on the bandwagon to rape Brazil, as they were rivals, but they didn't. And Uruguay fell to the Brazil military so it because a 3v1.

Paraguay was also quite powerful back then, they actually still are. Despite their size they have a formidable military.

This was common for wars of decolonization. I'm more surprised to see UK and France at odds.

To be fair that was literally murderous liberal Freemasons supported by insane American Protestants clamping down on religious liberty, the Cristeros were entirely in the right and that's why they won.

What in the ever loving fuck. Wasn’t the Vatican annexed by Italy at this point?

Caritas is a Catholic humanitarian organization based out of the Vatican that provided aid in Biafra, but the Vatican wasn't directly involved.

He'd based the entire economy on rearming and loans he couldn't stay put

The Holy See is the Pope's diocese and it's through the Holy See that the Pope has relations with other countries. The Holy See has existed for almost 2,000 years, but the Vatican has only been around since 1929. Papal ambassadors, called apostolic nuncios, technically represent the Holy See rather than Vatican City.

This was based though, as it turned you into a federation instead of weak and dainty confederation, and made the office of president more like elected dictator

herd u were talkin' shit at my back

the siege of Humaita ate up at least 1 year and a half of those
the sacking of Asunción (the capital) was in December 31st 1868 even

Honestly they gave it a pretty good shot

>1000000 dead

damn, the industrialized north truly needed all those black cheap labor force.

over the stupidest reason possible

Lincoln wasn't even going to touch their precious niggers until they pitched a fit and killed several hundred thousand people.

Everyone but Britain and France themselves switched sides at least once in the French Revolutionary/Napoleonic Wars

That's not embarassing

cringe

somebody post that battle where it was like twenty Armenians vs several thousand Turks or something and the Turks still lost

>Lincoln wasn't even going to touch their precious niggers
Debatable, it's pretty obvious that in the long-term abolitionists were going to win, and while slavery might have been the overarching cause for war the average soldier was still fighting for nationalist reasons. I'd have more sympathy for the South if they hadn't fired first, though.

It's a bit different, it was more like "we fought France, they kicked the shit out of us so now we do what they say, oh wait now Russia and the Brits are winning let's go back to what we were originally doing"

It is embarassing for the north i'd say, lost more by a considerable margin when they had the upper hand, but yeah they still won

Lmao did they leave mines behind or what ?

The Americans and Canadians thought the other group was Japanese and fired blindly.

> A stray Japanese mine caused the USS Abner Read (DD-526) to lose a large chunk of its stern. The blast killed 71 and wounded 47.

Well that is truly embarrassing

Poor Little Arab Boy

>Immediately, the hussars and infantry engaged in combat with one another. During the conflict, some infantry began shouting "Turci! Turci!" ("Turks! Turks!"). The hussars fled the scene, thinking that the Ottoman army’s attack was imminent. Most of the infantry also ran away; the army comprised Austrians, Serbs, Croats, and Italians from Lombardy, plus other minorities, many of whom could not understand each other. While it is not clear which one of these groups did so, they gave the false warning without telling the others, who promptly fled. The situation was made worse when officers, in an attempt to restore order, shouted "Halt! Halt!" which was misheard by soldiers with no knowledge of German as "Allah! Allah!".[dubious – discuss][citation needed]
>As the cavalry ran through the camps, a corps commander[who?] reasoned that it was a cavalry charge by the Ottoman army, and ordered artillery fire. Meanwhile, the entire camp awoke to the sound of battle and, rather than waiting to see what the situation was, everyone fled. The troops fired at every shadow, thinking the Ottomans were everywhere; in reality they were shooting fellow Austrian soldiers. The incident escalated to the point where the whole army retreated from the imaginary enemy, and Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II was pushed off his horse into a small creek.[citation needed]
>Two days later, the Ottoman army arrived. They discovered dead and wounded soldiers and easily took Karánsebes.[citation needed]

literally nothing wrong with this

Sounds like a comedy.

And0 this is how it all started
>The army of Austria, approximately 100,000 strong, was setting up camp around the town. The army's vanguard, a contingent of hussars, crossed the Timiș River nearby to scout for the presence of the Ottoman Turks. There was no sign of the Ottoman army, but the hussars did run into a group of Tzigani, who offered to sell schnapps to the war-weary soldiers. The cavalrymen bought the schnapps and started to drink.[citation needed]
>Soon afterwards, some infantry crossed the river. When they saw the party going on, the infantry demanded alcohol for themselves. The hussars refused to give them any of the schnapps, and while still drunk, they set up makeshift fortifications around the barrels. A heated argument ensued, and one soldier fired a shot.

Christian rebels want their own country.

USA and UK have oil deals with existing Muslim government, USSR is anti-civil wars because they won't want to acknowledge the rights of local populations to leave the larger group, Bulgaria is a Soviet puppet, and everyone else is pro-Muslim. No clue about Ethiopia.

France wants more influence in former-British Nigeria, Israel wants to fuck with Muslims, South Africa and Rhodesia are controlled by whites and dislike Nigeria, China wanted to fuck with the USA and USSR at the same time, no clue about the others.

you know you fucked up when the USA and the Soviet Union start working together

>post-colonial nigeria is full of ethnic tension between igbo people living in the southwest of the country, yoruba living in the south-east, and hausa living in the north

Gordon was a top lad

see what?

Venice was completely innocent in this

The death numbers probably.

The south needed them stupidly not realizing English cotton plantations in India would destroy their economy in a few decades. The industrialized north depended on skilled German immigrants (craftsmen) and unskilled Irish labor.

Somebody got that indian meatgrinder where millions died in a battle meanwhile rome was seen as a giant city with around 800k people`?

The IRS got into the thick of it because the South refused to pay their taxes. The IRS actually won a few battle single handed

Remember to pay your taxes

>this war destroyed our economy
>raised our taxes
>killed our best general
>gave all the power to the armed forces and destroyed the decentralized militias

And all this because the cuck emperor wanted to kill the Paraguayan dictator instead of accepting a peace treaty like everyone wanted INCLUDING THIS FAGGOT RIGHT HERE WHO LITERALLY WON THE WAR.
I hate the republicans for not killing Pedro II and his whole family to avoid the hassle.
