That's simple. They used a time machine.

Did they prevent the Cybermen in winning Thermopylae?

 

[Traitorfish]

The implicit conflation of Asia with the Axis and then the Easter Bloc seems a bit odd. Uncomfortable echoes of 20th century totalitarianism-as-Oriental despotism, sorta thing.

The Mad Bunny is upon us!

well it includes south korea in the "western bloc" so idk what they're going for other than anglosphere+friends of anglosphere vs. everyone else

 

[Takhisis]

Clearly Russia is the true successor to the Roman Empire.

 

[Tee Kay]

All the Muslim powers are in the "West" as well.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Was the kingdom of Judah the largest military in the "west" in 1000 BC ?

Obviously the Ottoman Empire is the true Third Rome, unlike those silly poser Russians.

If I were to make an educated guess, I'd say either Egypt or Assyria were the largest military powers in the region. I've always thought that Israel/Judah's power has generally been overestimated.

Aye. How many "Russians" have you sat on, in comparison to how many Ottomans I can sit on!

 

[CavLancer]

The US alone in '45 had over 12,000,000? So why would the west not have defeated the Soviet Union after the Germans were beaten?

Because war is a horrible thing?

 

[Borachio]

Because most of the Soviet forces were in East Germany, and most of the US's in the Far East?

I don't really know the answer to it, but that's my guess.

I don't think either side had much interest in continuing fighting immediately after the fall of Berlin.

What's always seemed curious to me, though, is why the Soviets allowed the US, British and French to occupy parts of Berlin. It's always looked like they pulled a fast one on the Russians, there.

Still, I daresay there's some perfectly reasonable explanation for it. I've just never bothered to find out what it is.

 

[Tee Kay]

War exhaustion.

 

[CavLancer]

I'd imagine it must be Hygro, but the question remains.

Borachio, that sounds reasonable. I'd guess that's it.

The implicit conflation of Asia with the Axis

There is some logic in it. Germans were to some extent contunuators of the Huns, after all. And the Huns originally came from East Asia.

German emperors and chancellors even used to say things like:

"Mercy will not be shown, prisoners will not be taken. Just as a thousand years ago, the Huns under Attila won a reputation of might that lives on in legends, so may the name of Germany, such that nobody will even again dare so much as to look askance at a German."

The Huns subjugated most of Germanic tribes and took their women into their harems, as wifes or concubines.

Ever since the Hunnic king Balamber (son of Liu) took the Germanic princess Wadamerca as his wife, the Huns became a part of Germany's history:

Genealogy of Wadamerca: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/c/z/e/Paul-Czerner/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-1566.html

The Eastern Asian Hunnic seed of Balamber was planted into the Franks already before they founded their Empire:

Children of Balamber and Wadamerca are:

- Fredemundus of the Salian Franks, born 394 AD

Even in the 20th century it seems that Germany still continued to be ruled by people of partially Hunnic descent.

Take a look for example at Konrad Adenauer - he had some clearly East Asian facial features.

=============================

Italians (another part of the Axis) also seem to be to some extent continuators of the Huns.

Odowaker (also known as Odoacer / Odoaker) - born 433 AD - was great-grandson of Balamber (great-great-grandson of Liu):

So as we can see it was a person of partially Hunnic ancestry who put an end to the Western Roman Empire.

I'm 100% certain that that wasn't the logic.

 

[Domen]

But it can be, if we are looking for a logical explanation.
