    Yay Wojtek! Already knew who it was from the thumbnail. As a Hearts of Iron IV fan, I learned about this awesome guy from the fact that you can get him as a commander of an army and even promote him to the king of your country if you have the No Step Back expansion. Such a weird but cool story.

    In 2017 a street in Poznan, Poland was named after Wojtek. The street, now named ulica Kaprala Wojtka (Corporal Wojtek Street), leads to the Poznan New Zoo.
    In September 2018 a wooden statue of Wojtek was unveiled in the Poznan New Zoo, funded by Krystyna Wieczorek, the author of a Polish book about Wojtek.

    Ha, ghandi was very nationalist.
    To parapharsr Mussolini, Fascism is really corporationism. So the state makes and or is run by corporate elites even within the government as authoritianism. In Ghandi's eyes England was already that, but the question remained how to turn that back over to India; and they kept the English bureaucracy. They made it "Indian" over English paperwork.

    The last Japanese soldier did not surrender in 1972. He surrendered on December 18, 1974. Sloppy. I knew he'd surrendered in 1974 but it did have to Google for the exact date.
