Wiki Article on the Crimean war
Russo-Japanese War
No one seems to be talking about history, but it is reasonable to take a second look, not just at the populations of the region but also at the history of the region. This is a region that the has had vast conflicts in the past and much human suffering involved. No nation in the region has not been involved. Its an interesting example of how choices that were made 100+ years ago are still affecting the choices today. When looking at the 20th century it was bloody and war mongering, but not compared to the 19th century. In fact if one looks at the 20th century the big change has been the information made available to the public. Mama's now know where their babies going to go and die. Or not, for as the century developed we can now send in remotely piloted vehicles to take out the guilty, their children and anyone else who happens to be in our way.
The big problem than is information is becoming the thing to keep secret. Now It appears that Russia is trying to right a problem that came about well over 100 years ago. Why its taken this long is a surprise, but that is what it appears, and most are suspecting that if you just play stupid for long enough everyone will forget. Which is probably true, so... so anyone want to place a bet on Russia keeping at least southern Crimea?
