Fairly sure both were occupied & Germany, awa its capital, Berlin, were divided. Taught in all kinds of history classes, starting with eighth grade. #LearnHistory

I'm not so sure red states teach this any longer. I'm not sure they teach anything of history.

Or being give any places they hadn't invaded.

On the contrary.

Those who win the war write the history.

Gee, that doesn't sound very negotiationesque.

Is it a negotiation is one side gets everything they want and the other side gets squat?

That seems to be what Trump believes.

arT of tEh DeaL ! 🤪

Yeah it’s the American negotiation.

Or an atom bomb?

The only thing that were “negotiated” were details about how to implement a ceasefire on land, air and sea and the organization of surrender of troops and material.The Japanese managed to keep their emperor since they considered him “holy”.I don’t know if the US offered this, or if it was negotiated

Keeping him in "power" was negotiated yes.

either way, happy that supreme leader newsom is flooding the internet with trash AI slop that makes him look like trump bsky.app/profile/robb...

What does Newsom's self-evident midlife crisis have to do with anything?

Couch rapier Vance says Ukraine and Russia as all wars end in negotiations? Vance made that up, like I suspect I know where he got that, where he keeps his head.

Given his dictatorial style and enormous ego, Trump probably considers defeat with unconditional surrender as being “negotiation”. (As would Putin)

Hitler and Hirohito are rolling over….

Parts of is now Germany and France, have been shifting between them and also sovereign states at times. Most known is Saarland, who joined in voluntarily to West-Germany in '47. Besides that, all terrotiry seized in Europe was done by Soviet Union. With force and suppression.

We aktchwuallyy rejoined two times, both times after we chose so ourselves by referendums: - 1935 when Germany was the Third Reich and we were a League of Nations Mandate - and 1955/56 when Germany was a the democratic Federal Republic and we where part autonomic and part under french authority.

Well Russia actually did!

Super cute dog

Thanks Karen. She’s a sweetheart

But the USSR kept Poland, Baltic states, Hungary, Slavic states, half of Germany etc. Now that those countries managed independence from Russian control, this time Russia is acting out the part played by Nazi Germany.

Germany didn't even get to keep all of Germany...

and England foisted Israel on Palestine. Peoples were forcibly removed from their land of many many generations.

I don’t recall their leaders keeping their lives, either. Must have been terrible negotiators, the Nazis…

The USSR did, though.

Other then Russia they keep lots now they want it back because they are criminals
