OK, how long was I gone?

Well, I am back again with a lot of history questions, and I feel a bit more mature than I was when I left. I guess I just needed time before I returned.

SO! This is a fresh new start where I come to ask a whole bunch of history questions. Some may not be all that serious, some may be serious, but hey, its history. It's not all about the serious war and politics.

I remember now why I liked history to begin with. It wasn't the big...

I don't know why, but every time I read about Zerkov in Frank Norris' McTeague, I feel offended.

Basically, this gem appeared in my head after I watched As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me, a movie about a German POW making his way from Russia all the way to Germany after WWII ended.


Now, I bet you can already guess what the plot entails:

#1- A war.
