*smokes*
Huh. Madame Chiang Kai-shek is dead at 105. Not much of a shocker, actually.
Hmm. Haha.
She, of course, is the widow to the leader of Nationalist China. Nationalist China.. Taiwan. Yes, Taiwan. The communists pushed them right into the sea, right into Taiwan.
It is strange how Japan used to hold so much power over there. In 1910 Japan annexed Korea. At the end of World War 1, Japan got control of Germany's pacific holdings/colonies. They invaded Manchuria, Northwest of Korea, and set up a puppet state- Manchukuo.. Then they invaded China, never taking all of it, only the shorelines with a bit of the interior.
And, when they lost.. Nationalist China and Communist China began a mad landgrab for the formerly occupied territories.
Then the Chinese civil war began. Yes... Nationalist China spread itself thin, while the Communists got more and more men to fight for it. They pushed the Nationalist Chinese government to Taiwan. China, from this point onwards, would consist of two governments: the mainland Communist government and the Taiwanese Nationalist government.
Japan, Nationalist China. The widow.
Less than a hundred years ago, within in the span of 50 years, millions of men died for what seems like millions of causes. China, Central Europe, Spain, Africa.
I wonder, when the world does go mad again, will there will be anyone left to write and think about it, when it is over. Yea, there will be. They will write things in a non-chalant, intellectual way like "And then the nuclear weapon went off in San Antonio, Texas- home to three American Air Force bases, and killed over 389,000 people, wounding thousands more."
I will be one of those old, wise looking guys on documentaries who lived through it, and are one of the only people who have feeling for that event in history anymore, lol.
