Genghis Khan's delegation delivered an ultimatum to the Shah declaring the life of Inalchuq to be forfeit for what he did to the caravan. Surviving envoys were given to the governor to have their beards shaved as an act of humiliation. During the invasion, Inalchuq ended up being one of the first targets, having molten silver poured into his eyes and ears. The surviving citizens of Otrar were forced to watch their governor die in such a horrific fashion.
The Japanese word for no and and hold on are the same. Japan meant gives us time to consider your terms but the us took it as an outright no, which is why they dropped the 2nd bomb. Which i learned in history class
There are two opinions about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some say it was a mistake, While others say it was justified. But when you really think about it, It was kinda both.
For example, my maternal grandfather was slated to take part in the invasion of Japan when the bombs were dropped, so if the bombs hadn't been dropped, I most likely wouldn't be alive!
As a Roman eques, Arminius was assigned to his German homeland by the Roman military. He returned to his German roots and used his knowledge of Roman tactics to destroy 3 legions in the Teutoburg Forest in 9AD. This led to the Romans pulling out south of the Rhine. This ended up having a huge influence on European history because the Germans were never Romanized.

What’s truly sad about Mao, some of his victims still refuse to think poorly of him. My parents are Chinese immigrants and had to live through The Great Leap Forward. Me being born and growing up in the USA think Mao was a jerk. Every time I insult him my parents tell me he wasn’t that bad. The irony, my in laws are Shar Pei enthusiasts (the extra wrinkly dog) and have owned a few. During Mao’s reign he ordered them destroyed. I was showing the dogs to my parents asking them if the dogs looked familiar. When I told them how Mao ordered them all killed, they scolded me to not insult the man. Unfortunately I’m seeing history repeat itself with a particular politician.
@ no. However I do not know enough about President Xi. All I will say is a politician from a different country. I will not say who because I it will start a comment war which I’m not in the mood to handle at this moment.
In economic terms, the craziest thing about Mao's Great Leap Forward was the policy exhorting households to turn useful finished manufactured products such as cutlery, scissors, kitchen utensils, bicycle wheels and frames, etc, back into crude steel in their backyard furnaces.

So now we hear that the Japanese may not have outright rejected the ultimatum after all. Was *anything* we were taught in History class actually true? Like, anything at all?
It doesn't even matter. Complete surrender was the only way they weren't getting bombed. Even if they said they were willing to negotiate, they were still getting bombed. The real mistake is thinking they know what we now know. Truman probably knew radiation was bad, but scientists inspected nuclear test sites with bags on their feet to protect against radiation. Truman didn't likely understand how much different nukes were from a really big bomb

if you know anything about the imperial Japanese at the time and look at the actions of the Japanese as a whole, the "may not have rejected" nonsense is just that, nonsense. The Japanese were not going to simply surrender. The fought to the death on the battlefield as it was considered disgraceful to surrender and was one of the reasons POWs were treated so poorly. The had no honor in the eyes of the Japanese military. There is also proof that villagers committed suicide rather than surrender their villages as the Allied forces island hopped across the Pacific. The "rejection" garbage is revisionist history and the bombs were a necessity. In the end they saved millions of lives that would have been lost if the allies had been forced to invade the island...
Okay. Thank you for telling me. That makes a lot of sense. 👍 Also, something else occurred to me: even if the Japanese government was willing to wait for another deal, then they might have surrendered to the Soviets, meaning they likely would have stayed our enemies instead of becoming our allies. And I like Japan-I visited there last year-so I’m glad that didn’t happen.
Speaking of Iraqi invasion I think it’s safe to say that in my perspective, Saddam is our invasion to invade. Kuwait is the true mistake and fact his decision to invade was the true cause of the Iraqi conflict.
The invasion of Kuwait happened in 1990 and it was stopped. That doesn't justify the invasion of Iraq 12 years after the gulf war had ended.

to think that a single WRONG TURN basically changed the course of history. no WW1 would mean no dire need to improve war armaments which would not cause Germany to lose and have to sign the treaty of Versailles which resulted in Germany becoming almost bankrupt and causing them to hate the rest of the world (mainly Europe) and in a way causing WW2 which then was the catalyst for the creation of Atomic weaponry leading to the cold war which involved the USSR invading Afghanistan which pissed them off, which if im not mistaken was one of the reasons behind the 9/11 attacks because the terrorists (Al-Qaida) being pissed at the Americans for neglecting and in a way helping (i think) with the USSR invasion causing the US to go to war with Iraq and then Afghanistan aswell starting the GWOT which then changed the Middle east. maybe i need to fact check some of the data i put down but thats the basics i think.
My exs dad and my cousin both served in Iraq and both told me,They never should have been there. Both have guilt and ptsd knowing they were forced to kill for nothing.
On some of these, the history you have presented lacks important details. Mao's collectivization of farms had already happened before 1958 and was relatively accepted by the people. The problem was, in his Great Leap he set production quotas extraordinarily high, and threatened farm supervisors with severe penalties for not reaching them. So lots of supervisors fudged on their totals, meaning that when the trucks came to take the food for the cities, there was much less left than official numbers indicated. Also, his Red Guards were policing everybody to refrain from any behavior deemed bourgeois, with terrible disruption in the cities as well. And his campaign to use his people to eradicate starlings (ostensibly to preserve grain), caused the pests the starlings eat to multiply and eat far more grain. Mao would not seek outside advice or comment on his plans, so there was no check on his toxic zeal. Re: the 1930s famine in Ukraine, I'm not sure whether that was a "mistake," or just an example of Stalin's boorish methods, which held that millions of deaths were acceptable to achieve an ideological end. In the late 50s, Khrushchev's "Virgin Lands" crusade to grow massive amounts of corn (which he was amazed by when he visited Iowa with Eisenhower) in Siberia was a clearer example of unintended terrible consequences. Unlike Stalin, Khrushchev could eventually recognize a mistake, and the corn fiasco soon cost him his job.
Another mistake in war history would be the American soldier who didn’t kill Hitler in world war 1. Can you imagine how peaceful the late 30s and early 40s would’ve been?
2003 Iraq invasion is why we LOST in Afghanistan. We divided our forces and resources unnecessarily and removing Saddam popped the cork off a bottle of chaos in that region that we STILL have not be able to put back in!
Speaking as someone who has children and both of my grandfathers were fighting in pacific, the bombs were not a mistake. Estimated 100k additional casualties on Allie’s side but even if it were less it ended war. It increased probability my bloodline lived so not mistake. Traditional warfare also would of killed millions of Japanese way things were going to take mainland. So take the 200k+ Over Million+. It also kept Russia or Soviet’s at time away from Japan.
Few things: Why should US apologize to the Japan for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?Japan attacked first without provocation. Also Japan never apologized for it's war crimes,further more,they break diplomatic relationship with countries that commemorate victims of those crimes. Terror Famine was not a mistake,it was deliberate...Stalin may be even worst than mustache man(not the worst,that title goes to pol pot) No No Germany and USSR were not allies and never could have been allies. Mustache man was aiming USSR territories and resources for his "living space" plan and German self reliance. Non Aggression pact was aimed to dived eastern Europe and yes,they had trade agreements but that's not ally like UK and France were allies. Fact is,USSR was preparing for war with Germany,just,stalin believed that he has few years to prepare for war and dismissed any rapport that mustache man is about to launch an attack.
Aside from sanctions, Russia aslo has got US-made parts in their missiles, and you have to address that before going into the topic. Half-measures are no measures.
"The German Army in fighting Russia will be like an elephant attacking an army of ants. The elephant will kill thousands, even millions of ants, but he will in the end be overcome by their numbers and be eaten to the bone." ~Colonel Berndt von Kleist

to think that a single WRONG TURN basically changed the course of history. no WW1 would mean no dire need to improve war armaments which would not cause Germany to lose and have to sign the treaty of Versailles which resulted in Germany becoming almost bankrupt and causing them to hate the rest of the world (mainly Europe) and in a way causing WW2 which then was the catalyst for the creation of Atomic weaponry leading to the cold war which involved the USSR invading Afghanistan which pissed them off, which if im not mistaken was one of the reasons behind the 9/11 attacks because the terrorists (Al-Qaida) being pissed at the Americans for neglecting and in a way helping (i think) with the USSR invasion causing the US to go to war with Iraq and then Afghanistan aswell starting the GWOT which then changed the Middle east. maybe i need to fact check some of the data i put down but thats the basics i think.
Like Ukraine hasnt lost anything
My exs dad and my cousin both served in Iraq and both told me,They never should have been there. Both have guilt and ptsd knowing they were forced to kill for nothing.
On some of these, the history you have presented lacks important details. Mao's collectivization of farms had already happened before 1958 and was relatively accepted by the people. The problem was, in his Great Leap he set production quotas extraordinarily high, and threatened farm supervisors with severe penalties for not reaching them. So lots of supervisors fudged on their totals, meaning that when the trucks came to take the food for the cities, there was much less left than official numbers indicated.
Also, his Red Guards were policing everybody to refrain from any behavior deemed bourgeois, with terrible disruption in the cities as well.
And his campaign to use his people to eradicate starlings (ostensibly to preserve grain), caused the pests the starlings eat to multiply and eat far more grain.
Mao would not seek outside advice or comment on his plans, so there was no check on his toxic zeal.
Re: the 1930s famine in Ukraine, I'm not sure whether that was a "mistake," or just an example of Stalin's boorish methods, which held that millions of deaths were acceptable to achieve an ideological end. In the late 50s, Khrushchev's "Virgin Lands" crusade to grow massive amounts of corn (which he was amazed by when he visited Iowa with Eisenhower) in Siberia was a clearer example of unintended terrible consequences. Unlike Stalin, Khrushchev could eventually recognize a mistake, and the corn fiasco soon cost him his job.

This is why I’m always confused as to why Mao gets any sort of praise.
Speaking as someone who has children and both of my grandfathers were fighting in pacific, the bombs were not a mistake. Estimated 100k additional casualties on Allie’s side but even if it were less it ended war. It increased probability my bloodline lived so not mistake.
Traditional warfare also would of killed millions of Japanese way things were going to take mainland. So take the 200k+
Over Million+. It also kept Russia or Soviet’s at time away from Japan.
Few things:
Why should US apologize to the Japan for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?Japan attacked first without provocation. Also Japan never apologized for it's war crimes,further more,they break diplomatic relationship with countries that commemorate victims of those crimes.
Terror Famine was not a mistake,it was deliberate...Stalin may be even worst than mustache man(not the worst,that title goes to pol pot)
No No Germany and USSR were not allies and never could have been allies. Mustache man was aiming USSR territories and resources for his "living space" plan and German self reliance. Non Aggression pact was aimed to dived eastern Europe and yes,they had trade agreements but that's not ally like UK and France were allies. Fact is,USSR was preparing for war with Germany,just,stalin believed that he has few years to prepare for war and dismissed any rapport that mustache man is about to launch an attack.
I feel like a time traveler is some how responsible for this😂
Aside from sanctions, Russia aslo has got US-made parts in their missiles, and you have to address that before going into the topic. Half-measures are no measures.
None of these are mistakes. Without them - most of us would never be born. Are we all a mistake?

Ukraine and iraq are in the top 10 DEADLIEST mistakes history? Cmon. 💀😂
And an explosion in 1600s Beijing (the AI they used made it look a lot more recent, though) that killed 20,000. Tragic, but it probably doesn't break the top thousand mistakes.
These are all great mistakes. No regrets.
