The History Game

[Neverwonagame3]

I disagree with that idea- for one, there is the question of earlier precedent. Additionally, the Hungarian government managed to force major stops to Austro-Hungarian policy, reducing the possible extent of military buildup and defeating measures supported by Franz Josef and the Austrian government. (For example, Austria-Hungary delayed it's declaration of war on Serbia despite the swing in diplomatic mood in order to persuade Hungarian ministers of the "need" for war)

Naples- Amongst other things, a shorthand name for the general region around Naples, which at one point was controlled by the Austrian Empire. (As opposed to Austria-Hungary, a later entity) It was acquired after the War of the Spanish Sucession, but reclaimed later by Phillip V of Spain for the Bourbon dynasty.

In one of the earlier pages we had Russia and USSR and Mars and something else. It was really confusing. In the end, it was agreed to be just modern Countries and thats the rule for the last 5 pages. If you feel that Hungary was just important as Austria (My Austria-Hungary Empire history is not good) then you can add both the modern nations of Austria and Hungary but not the Predecessor. But dont add in Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and all others as the Austria Hungary isn't exactly Czech or Slovak related. Naples may be Spanish, Austrian, Byzantium, French, Roman, Greek, Carthage controled at one point. But if mentioned, its Italy. The modern historic and geographic Nation.

So...

Why is 'nation' in capital letters? Are you a nationalist?

No, I type funny.
It's a habit where some words become capitalise.

Tiger Tank: popular name for German heavy tank, introduced in 1942 as a counter to the Russian T34. This immensely powerful tank was widely feared by the allies, and could when used appropriately dominate a battlefield out of all proportion to their numbers. However, too few were ever produced to stop the allies and Russians.
