alright gaylords
There's a splendid doc on iPlayer on the Ottoman empire. Do you have a favourite period of history? Is there one about which your own ignorance is a source of shame for you?

Perhaps you are some kind of knobcheese and care nothing for history. Defend yourself.

Alt: have you ever experienced the sacred love between a man and his equine counterpart?

My knowledge of the Spanish civil war is frightful.
It's limited almost entirely to the use of Stukas at Guernika. This is not sufficient.

Basically, some cunts won an election.
Some other cunts didn't like it and decided to try and stage an uprising.
Cunts from outside the country wouldn't allow the elected cunts to buy arms, etc but nazi cunts ignored this and sold arms to the uprisers.
Then some commie cunts got involved and it all got very unpleasant.
Eventually one set of cunts won and staged a blood purge of the cunts who'd have purged THEM if they'd have won.

HTH.
