    1. Shame that the foreign minister caught a stray, but the „king“ def had it coming.

    2. The death of Louis Barthou had deep repercussions on French foreign policy. He was among the few who saw the danger of Nazi Germany and was willing to fight it. The *pacte d’assistance franco sovietique* was a part of this political push. But it was jeopardized by his successor, Pierre Laval, who did not commit to the polish question. This had to be address for the pacte to effectively work, but I can of course understand all the reserve the polish had with a red army moving on its territory.

      His death ultimately condemned the alliances France try to form against Germany, and pushed for an alignment with British appeasement. With the awful consequences we can read in history books. 

    3. started with this and the nail to the coffin was some random farmer shoving a bottle up his ass in 1985. what a timeline

      Eternal glory to the assassin Vlado Chernozemski.

      He was in full knowledge what will happen to him, but still chose to give his life for Bulgaria

      After Croatia fought in WW1 to remain subjugated by Austrians and Hungarians (yes, you read that right) and lost, king Alexander saved us from being partitioned by forming Yugoslavia. Our far right nationalists “thanked” him by assassinating him and went on to form independent state of Croatia (NDH) where they were subjugated by Italy and Germany for which they fought for in WW2. Mental!!!
