    Operation Countenance - The Invasion of Iran in WW2
    2026/03/23
    During World War 2 Iran was invaded by Britain and the Soviet Union, an act that is often covered in just a sentence or two in most histories of the war. Yet it would arguably be the turning point of Iran’s modern history, setting up the domino's for the Iranian Revolution, the fall of the Shah and the rise of an aggressive theocracy. #war #history #militaryhistory #iran #worldwar2

  • The Nuku Hiva Campaign - Adventures on Cannibal Island

    The Nuku Hiva Campaign - Adventures on Cannibal Island
    2026/03/09
    On the morning of Oct. 25, 1813, the inhabitants of the Pacific island of Nuku Hiva awoke to a startling sight, a fleet of strange ships sailed across the cobalt blue sea and landed at their island. It was an American fleet, trying to escape the British during the war of 1812. So began the most bizarre US military campaign in history, a riproaring yarn involving fights with cannibals, mutinying sailors and a soon to be scandalous amount of fornication with local women. #war #militaryhistory #history #america

    The Spanish Civil War Part 4 - From Guadalajara to Guernica
    2026/02/09
    What a difference 3 months can make. In March 1937 the Republic won its greatest victory of the civil war at Guadalajara, for the first time since the coup it seemed as though they could defeat the Nationalists. Yet by May Franco's forces were on the verge of victory in the north, after destroying the town of Guernica with the help of the German Condor Legion. Meanwhile a civil war within a civil war raged behind the Republican lines, as the anarchists and Communists battled for dominance in Barcelona. #history #historynerd #war #worldwar2 #spain
