[Forum Game] How Much History Do You Know?

[dupuy 318]

The way this game works, one player will post a historically accurate question, and the player below them will answer it and ask another question for the next person to answer. This will keep a chain of questions and answers going. The question/answer can be about any historical period or from any country as long as it is really HISTORY and is ACCURATE. I will start.

 

In what year did the Bolshevik Revolution under Vladimir Lenin take place and what country did it affect?

(Player under me will answer the question and ask another one.)

If your answer to the previously asked question is correct, I will like your post to tell you. If not, I will quote your answer and give the correct one.

Wilson's 14 points;

 

Territorial issues

I. Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view.

II. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenants.

III. The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance.

IV. Adequate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety.

V. A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations concerned must have equal weight with the equitable government whose title is to be determined.

VI. The 

evacuation of all Russian territory

 and such a settlement of 

all questions affecting Russia

 as will secure the best and freest cooperation of the other nations of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the 

independent determination of her own political development and national policy

 and assure her of a sincere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing; and, more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their intelligent and unselfish sympathy.

VII. 

Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored

, without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all other free nations. No other single act will serve as this will serve to restore confidence among the nations in the laws which they have themselves set and determined for the government of their relations with one another. Without 

this healing act

 the whole structure and validity of international law is forever impaired.

VIII. 

All French territory should be freed

 and the invaded portions restored, and the wrong done to 

France by Prussia in 1871

 in the 

matter of Alsace-Lorraine

, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should be righted, in order that peace may once more be made secure in the interest of all.

IX. A readjustment of the frontiers of 

Italy

 should be effected along clearly recognizable 

lines of nationality

.

X. The people of 

Austria-Hungary

, whose place among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity to 

autonomous development

.

XI. 

Romania

, 

Serbia

, and 

Montenegro

 should be evacuated; occupied territories restored; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea; and the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by friendly counsel along historically established lines of allegiance and nationality; and international guarantees of the political and economic independence and territorial integrity of the several Balkan states should be entered into.

XII. The Turkish portion of the present 

Ottoman Empire

 should be assured a secure sovereignty, but the 

other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule

 should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of 

autonomous development

, and the 

Dardanelles

 should be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations under international guarantees.

XIII. An 

independent Polish state

 should be erected which should include the 

territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations

, which should be assured a 

free and secure access to the sea

, and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant.

League of Nations

 

XIV. A general 

association of nations

 must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike.
