The main problem with slavery and the Confederacy in the US is once you have a tiger by the tail, it is very hard to just let go without some very serious repercussions.

Lincoln didn't want ro be the guy who oversaw the war either which is why he took almost 2 years to propose ending slavery in the territories STILL REBELLING, it wasn't until the end of his term that he began moving for full abolition, ie once the war had been well won.

Rather, is was due to the fact that the south was attempting to expand slavery and, and the north, realizing this would put them at a political disadvantage, said no. After that, the south literally started taking forts before open war had even been declared. It is VERY safe to say the south fired the first shots in the civil war in nearly all accounts.

@@Hananmarwah with that definition, India with current borders was never under the control of a single ruler. Almost all of India was under a single ruler during mourya. Gupta, rashtrakuta, moghals, Shivaji, and British. Nepal was part of many Indian kingdoms, srilanka was part of Tamil kingdoms, Myanmar was also under control of various indian kings, and even British.

A successful CSA might indeed have been interesting, but the USA and CSA would have been inherently adversarial, and likely would have been on opposite sides in the world wars, which likely would have led to a different outcome. Probably not worth it, even if interesting.

There are about 7,000 languages still spoken around the world so technically we should have 7,000 countries in the world. Not only Europe should have the privilege of a country solely for one language like french in France; german in Germany. etc,

19:10 south america homogenous? Looooool even the Brazilian states are all too different one from another, imagine all the other countries. It's not because we speak mostly the 2 same languages (and a bit of French, a bit of Dutch, a bit of English) and we were colonized by the same people that we are homogenous.

In comparison to other continents (mainly Asia and Africa), the Americas are significantly more homogeneous. That doesn’t mean there are no regionally distinct ethnicities, but these differences are nowhere near as pronounced as those in places like Asia and Africa.

Don't forget about Republic of Upper Silesia, that almost come to existence in 1918

The Bougainville referendum was non-binding though

Do you know what I never should expect to see on headlines “ Saudi Arabia and Israel team up against Iran”
