Best Tips For PUBG Mobile! Settings and Button Placements! Personal Experience!

I have noticed most of people have trouble with important settings such as horizontal swipe acceleration Sprint sensitivity perfect TPP settings selecting a perfect joystick size and placing it perfectly for smooth movement and much more so in this video I will cover all these topics for you including some extra tips and tricks for you guys so let's get started let's start with Sprint sensitivity a setting many do not understand first let me explain how it works if the Sprint sensitivity is set to 100 even a small movement on your joystick makes your character start running and if you lower the Sprint sensitivity a slight movement on the joystick will only make a small movement basically it controls the sensitivity of your joystick now I will show you how this option can be useful for you my Sprint sensitivity is set to 100 as the Sprint sensitivity is high the character moves too much out of cover this movement is ineffective and you are open to enemy fire instead lower your Sprint sensitivity to around 65 now you can perfectly move slightly out of cover shoot your Target and move back in look at the difference now this movement makes it harder for the opponent to keep track of you I recommend a sensitivity of 65 try these for yourself and see what works best for you. 

 

Do you want perfect movement then the first thing to focus on is your control layout I will always recommend that you learn how to use third layout if you want controlled and precise movement third layout is the best I know this is a difficult layout to master because placing your joystick perfectly is not easy but if you want to be the best you have to put in the work so come to training grounds and pay attention I will show you how to fix your joystick start by using a joystick size of 90 to 120 whichever is easy for you I prefer using 116 as that is most perfect from my experience next we start by placing the joystick close to the bottom of the screen but not too close a similar position would be suitable the next step is to decide the horizontal location of the joystick this will require some trial and error but try to place it where you would naturally place your thumb try these six movements to ensure your joystick is perfectly placed you should be able to jiggle easily move easily make this movement behind cover repeatedly make sure you can do this for the other side as well you should be able to make a clean jump repeatedly and make this forward jump and immediate back movement easily as well once you are able to do these six movements without fail you know your joystick is perfectly placed. 

 

Next we will focus on horizontal swipe acceleration what is this setting I will explain this setting simply set your camera TP to 40 and your ads TPP to 40 now disable the horizontal acceleration option try moving your camera fast now repeat this while firing the sensitivity is low as expected now enable horizontal swipe acceleration now try moving the aim the sensitivity is much higher even when firing the sensitivity is much higher this is because after enabling horizontal swipe acceleration the faster you swipe the screen with your finger the higher your sensitivity gets this does not apply for vertical movements and it also does not apply for gyroscope Sensitivity I recommend disabling this option so you have better control over your sensitivity let's now focus on TPP settings TPP 80 gives you the lowest field of vision while TPP 90 gives you a larger field of vision so you may think the better field of vision is best but this is not the case TPP 90 makes your bullet connectivity much lower making it harder to hit head shot while TPP 80 makes your connectivity much better making it easier to get head shots therefore I personally recommend 80 but you can use any value from 80 to 84 now let's look into some settings you may find useful check if your camera moves when moving the peek button now repeat the same for the scope button this is the main reason you have unstable aim.

 

PUBG Mobile Settings

When peeking and scoping go to basic control settings and disable camera rotation while ads and disable camera rotation while leaning now the peek button won't move anymore while you touch it same goes for the scope button this will immediately help improve your scoping as well as your aim while peeking Killing Spree for the always keep the universal Mark enabled this provides you with a button which can be used to Mark enemies vehicles or location mark the location watch out keep the mark assist enabled next have you ever accidentally turned your gun into tap mode and ended up being killed make sure to set the firing mode display button to separate now you can place the firing mode button elsewhere so you won't accidentally click it disable the merge Crouch and prone button next enable the quick throw option so it allows you to throw any throwable by holding on the icon itself set the throwable quick wheel option to throw now you can hold the throwable icon to open a selection wheel drag your finger to the throwable you need and hold on to it to throw it next enable the throw consumables option this will show the selected consumable on your throwable option allowing you to throw it this is useful for passing throwable to your teammates during intense situations enable the FPP swap option so you can switch to FPP mode when necessary.

 

Next which Mark style should you use class or modern Mark style the classic Mark style is usually clearer but may block your vision whereas the modern Mark style is more convenient as it doesn't block your view I recommend the modern Mark style next you should enable the show throwable trajectory line option this will show a preview of the trajectory whenever you equip a throwable this helps improve your accuracy set the main screen audio markers to Classic now it will be easier for you to locate your enemies enable the auto mark hit locations so that your enemies get marked when you damage them while firing set the reload interrupt method to fire interrupt this way if you are in the middle of reloading you can click the fire button to cancel the reload and continue firing this is useful for if an enemy pushes you while you are reloading make sure to disable all settings under recording this will help to reduce FPS drops next focus on the peek and open scope option when enabled the moment you click on the peek option the scope is also opened at the same time however you will be unable to Peek normally without opening the scope therefore.

 

I recommend you disable Peek and open scope next we will look into the focal length adjustment option this applies to the six times Scope when this is set to hold you can just hold and drag to adjust the magnification of the scope finally release the button to close it when set to tap you have to tap and then again tap drag to adjust the magnification this is slightly difficult compared to the previous method therefore I recommend you set this option to hold next I want you to separate the jump climb button now you don't have to worry about your character accidentally climbing an obstacle when you try to jump and fire you can easily jump and fire over the obstacle since the jump and climb buttons are now separated next disable the blocked sight warning now you can see your aim even when you are close to an object making it easier to place your aim on a target from behind cover next set your TPP setting to 80 this setting makes your close range accuracy much more accurate making it easier to get head shot as for the Sprint sensitivity use 65 as explained earlier next we will look into another common issue have you ever got stuck while peeking enable the Sprint interrupts Peek mode option now you can easily cancel the peek by running to any direction disable aim assist so you have full control of your aim when multiple enemies are in front of you awesome finally disable the headshot sounds this option makes your bullet connectivity much better most Pro players disable this option to optimize their bullet connectivity.

 

Princess of Hawaii! An Introduction!

She owned 9% of Hawaii. She was able to speak English, however, she declined. She also lived in a grass house voluntarily. And she ensured that her people would never be washed away. She was called Princess Ruth Keelikolani. And she made her whole life proving that you could have power in two worlds not forgetting that you were not obliged to leave the first one.

Ruth was born in 1826 and was of the utmost Hawaiian royal blood in both parents. She was nobility (aliit) in a sense that made her be respected even without uttering a single word. She was a child who was observing her world fade away.

Christian missionaries came in during the childhood of Ruth, and they were insistent on salvaging the Hawaiian souls by destroying the Hawaiian culture. They banned the hula. They criticized the old religion. They demanded that the Hawaiians act like the New Englanders and talk American, and forget their gods that their fore fathers worshipped over a millennium.

The religion and social structure of the Hawaiian system the Kapu system which had dominated the life of the Hawaiian people had formally been done away with in the year 1819, earlier than Ruth was even born. By the age she had reached, most Hawaiian royal family had joined Christianity.

Most. Not Ruth.

And she had a regulation that made Westerners positively insane. She would not speak English. Not in public. Not in private. Not ever. She knew English fluently. She was able to read it, and understand intricate political debates that were transacted in it. But she refused to speak it. Talked Hawaiian to you wanted to speak to Princess Ruth. In the case that you were not able to speak Hawaiian, you took a translator. It did not matter to her whether you were a missionary, a businessman, a diplomat or a diplomat of another country and royalty.

Hawaiian, or nothing.

Imagine the audacity of this. It was the 1860s and 1870s. Hawaii was being systematically dominated by American and European businessmen in its economy. Hawaiian language was being suppressed even in schools. Hawaiian kids were being disciplined on the basis of speaking Hawaiian language.

And here was Princess Ruth who was among the most influential women in the islands, who sat in her grass house, compelling those who wished to have an interview with her to seek a translator. Yes--because Ruth was a beautiful Western-style house-owner. She was rich enough to live the way she wanted. She made a decision to reside in a Hawaiian grass house. A hale pili. The type of house her ancestors had resided in since time immemorial.

Not as a museum piece. As her actual home. She slept there. She held court there. She entertained visitors there. She clarified it: I am able to afford your world. I choose mine.

By 1870s Ruth was already the largest single land owner in the whole of Hawaii. She owned about 353,000 acres- about nine percent of the whole Hawaiian Island chain. Nine percent. Of an entire island nation. She used it to stay Hawaiian. But Ruth was not naive. She knew what was coming. She felt a squeeze of American business interests. She saw the Hawaiian monarchy becoming weaker. She realized that in a generation or so, the state of Hawaii may not exist as an independent kingdom.

And so she decided that would resound in the following century and a half. On the death of Ruth, in 1883, she willed everything, all 353,000 acres, all that power, all that wealth, to her cousin Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Bernice applied that land in forming a trust. And it was based on that trust that the Kamehameha Schools—schools of the Native Hawaiian children, were founded, which were supported by the land that Ruth had left behind.

Kamehameha Schools is today among the richest of the private schools in America, accommodating thousands of students who are the Native Hawaiians. It is there since Ruth Keekelikolani was not selling out, was not assimilating and was not letting her land be divided among people who did not know what it was.

And then she left nine percent of Hawaii so that the children of Native Hawaiians could have education, opportunity and oneness to their culture long after her departure.

The Hawaiian princess passed away in 1883, a decade before the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, 15 years before Hawaii became a territory of the United States.

She was not present when the kingdom was terminated. But she left behind her long enough to make something that would last longer.

The Kamehameha Schools are still running today more than 140 years after she established it. It has educated thousands of Native Hawaiian students. There is thriving of Hawaiian language and culture programs. The land which she refused to sell is still used by her people to whom she was fighting.

Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani is known to most Americans.

Living Hawaiian children who pass the gates at Kamehameha Schools do so upon land which she preserved. Any Hawaiian language speaker now lives in the space that she created at the time when speaking Hawaiian was a statement of resistance.

She is the owner of nine percent of Hawaii. She would have sold it, made profit out of it, used it to create her own legacy in the Western world.

She sacrificed everything to save the Hawaiian children who were yet to be born. That is not just generosity. That is vision. She realized that you struggle against colonization not only with guns or politics, but through declining to be what they would like you to be. Ruth occupies a grass house due to the fact that grass houses were Hawaiian and she was Hawaiian and nothing could turn her into western wealth.

She was also talking in Hawaiian because her ancestors spoke Hawaiian and letting them go would be letting them fade away.

She was practicing the old religion since these gods had safeguarded her people over a millennium before the missionaries came.

And she left her land to Hawaiian children because she understood that land is identity, and education is survival and the only way to fight back colonization is to ensure that your children do not forget their identity.

In 1883 Princess Ruth Keelikeolani passed away. But she is still winning. Due to the fact that each time a Hawaiian attends graduation of Kamehameha Schools, each time someone speaks Hawaiian in a crowd, each time Native Hawaiians recover their culture, that is what Ruth bequeathed. She refused to disappear. And she also ensured that her people did not disappear either.

My take on Monroe Doctrine! Personal Opinion

The Monroe Doctrine is one of the most dominant ideas in the history of the foreign policy of the United States. First declared by the President James Monroe in 1823, the doctrine was initially formulated as a defensive declaration which was supposed to guard then newly independent Latin American states against repeated European colonial encroachment. As time went on though, its definition and use widened much beyond its original purpose and formed the power dynamics of the Western Hemisphere.

The doctrine also developed within a certain historical setting. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Latin American nations had recently acquired independence over Spain and Portugal. Meanwhile, European nations were also contemplating on reclaiming their former colonies. Being a young nation, the United States was afraid of the re-emerging of the European presence in the Americas as it was a threat to the stability of the region and the national security of the future. In reaction, Monroe stated that the Western Hemisphere was no longer subject to European colonization and any move to extend the European political influence would be considered a hostile act.

At the beginning, the Monroe Doctrine was a symbol than a doctrine. The United States did not have the military capability to impose it and depended much on the British naval power to discourage the European involvement. The doctrine served as a diplomatic warning and not really as a policy in most of the nineteenth century. It was also significant not so much as an aspect of immediate enforcement as setting up a long term image of the Americas as an autonomous political domain.

The doctrine became more aggressive in nature as the United States became economically and militarily stronger. Towards the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries it was more and more being utilized to justify American intervention into Latin American affairs. In 1904, The Roosevelt Corollary was introduced and it was a major change. It claimed that the United States was within its rights to interfere with the Latin American nations to ensure order and to provide safeguard to economic interests. Such reinterpretation made the Monroe Doctrine not a defense against the imperialism of the Europeans but an instrument of American domination in the region.

The effects of this change were severe. Although the doctrine used to be tabled as a policy of protection, it was experienced as a policy of intervention and control in many Latin American countries. American intervention in nations like Cuba, Nicaragua and Dominican Republic created bitterness and strengthened the imperialism arguments by the American nation. Consequently, the Monroe Doctrine turned into the representation of unequal relations of power, instead of the cooperation between hemispheres.

The doctrine was once more revisited during the cold war whereby this time it was in opposition to Soviet influence in the Americas. Uncle Sam activities in such locations as Cuba and Central America were discussed as the need to spread communism. This also incorporated the doctrine into the ideological struggle of the world, making it highly relevant to the world way beyond the nineteenth century.

The Monroe doctrine is controversial today. Although few American policymakers do not mention it to establish influence regionally, most of the Latin American leaders dismiss it as outdated, paternalistic. The history of the development of the doctrine demonstrates that the principles of the foreign policy could modify their sense with time, and they were determined by the power, interests and historical situation. Finally, the Monroe Doctrine is a demonstration of how a concept that was meant to oppose an empire slowly became attached to one.

Venezuela in 2026, alas! Personal Opinion

 The situation is in Venezuela is a culmination of a prolonged and intricate interplay of politics, economics, and the society. Having been one of the richest Latin American countries thanks to large oil deposits, nowadays Venezuela is one of the brightest examples of how resources dependence, inefficiency of the governmental system, and international pressure can intertwine to create a national catastrophe that may last a long time.

The most fundamental problem in Venezuela is the fact that it is too dependent on oil. Over decades, the oil revenues kept financing social programs, subsidies and government jobs, establishing the system in which the state became the most important source of economic security. The oil prices in the world crashed in 2014, and the government income has dropped significantly, whereas spending on the population did not reflect the decrease. The authorities preferred money printing and tight control of the currency instead of economic diversification and this led to hyperinflation which swept away savings and wages to almost zero value.

Venezuela has been polarized severely since the times of Hugo Chavez. The Bolivarian Revolution that his name was supposed to strengthen the poor and to upset the dominance of the elite also undermined the institutions of democracy by putting too much power in the hands of the executive. These institutional weaknesses were further enhanced under the administration of Nicolás Maduro. Contentious elections, the blocking of opposition parties, and conflicts between state organs have destroyed the trust of the population and the international credibility. This has made governance a survival but not a reform exercise.

The failure of the economy has resulted in a humanitarian crisis. Food, medicine, and basic shortages became commonplace particularly during 2016-2019. Though in the recent years there is less shortage owing to partially dollarization and informal market activity, inequality has risen. Those who have access to dollars can live, and those who rely on bolivar incomes have a hard time. The state of public services like electricity, health services and water supply is still weak, especially in non urban areas.

Venezuela has also been made more complicated by international sanctions. The sanctions by the American government and the allies primarily aimed at pressurizing the government to change politically. Nonetheless, they have drawn limits to access of financial markets as well as oil income, which limits the capacity of the state to import vital commodities. Sanctions, in its turn, are a discourse employed by the government to avoid blame on domestic policy shortcomings. The truth is in between, either in that internal mismanagement and external pressure are complemented with each other.

Mass migration has also become one of the most noticeable effects of the crisis. More than seven million Venezuelans have fled the country and it has created one of the biggest displacement crises in the world. This exodus has transformed the Latin American societies putting a strain on the economic systems of the neighboring countries and also creating a global Venezuelan diaspora sending remittances back.

The future of Venezuela is unpredictable. Political compromise, institutional reconstruction, economic diversification and new confidence between the citizens and the state would be necessary in any sustainable recovery. Unless these structural problems are tackled, short term gains in the economy are not likely to be transferred into long term stability. The case of Venezuela is a warning sign of how resource wealth can never lead to prosperity without responsible governance and economic planning to share the wealth.

Napoleon and the destruction of the French revolution as well as France - Personal Opinion

 Napoleon and the destruction of the French revolution as well as France.

He not only had ruined the French revolution, making it everything it was against, a kind of absolutist government, when Napoleon conquered France and became emperor, but more than that, Napoleon stifled the spirits of emancipation excited by the French and the American revolutions throughout Europe and permitted the revival and recovery of absolutist governments. Even the legacies to which Napoleon is credited, such as the Civil Code, the system of law, which was an amalgamation of feudal laws, was suggested in the French revolution, and he merely borrowed it, later to neglect it when it suited his time-honored dictatorial purpose and ambitions. But what Napoleon bequeathed us in reality that was best characterized by death, destruction, terror and defeat to the people of France, the French revolution and France itself. One of the ironies in history is the fact that the very man who was commissioned by the revolutionary leaders to protect and defend the French revolution and its ideals is the one that was going to destroy it, and later France itself.

Emperor Napoleon.

Due to the megalomania and uncontrollable desire to power and conquer Napoleon, over a million French people lost their lives and millions of others suffered in France. It is a fact that not every war that was fought in the Napoleon age could be attributed to Napoleon. At the time he became a dictator and later became an emperor of France, it was already at war with half of Europe, who viewed revolutionary France as an enemy and were determined to annihilate it, and all he did was to attempt to stop these wars with a decisive triumph of France. The issue begins with all the unneeded battles he had dragged France and the rest of Europe into, battles that would ultimately destroy him and France. Such catastrophes as the disastrous occupation of Spain, his imbeciliating and utterly futile campaign in Egypt, or the way in Tahiti Napoleon killed over 100,000 Caribbean slaves who had risen against France, were noteworthy. But most of all there is the really boggling megalomaniac and meaningless invasion of Russia in 1812 that led to the French surrender to Russia and its allies and exile of Napoleon.

In 1812, Napoleon fleeing a burning Moscow.

In 1812, Napoleon invaded Russia with a military of nearly 700,000 men, most of them not French but comprising soldiers all over Europe, killed and ravaged Russians and his own army, all to literally nothing. The majority of his forces did not even make it back, and only an insignificant fraction of the Grande Armee ended up surviving the retreat of Russia having not that Napoleon cared as he was riding in the front and in a luxurious carriage with no idea of the suffering he caused to the rest of his troops. As Napoleon met his final and decisive defeat in the battle of Waterloo in 1815, and was sent into exile in a second and definitive exile out of France, France was more isolated, beaten, occupied, dominated, despised and smaller in size and influence than it had never been before, and the monarchy of France had been restored. As has been mentioned above, Napoleon with his tyrannical and absolutist way acted not only to suffocate the spirit of emancipation, republicanism and secularism awakening because of the French and American revolutions in France, but also everywhere in Europe, and allowed the continuity and recovery of the absolutist monarchies.

After all, Napoleon was not superior to those absolutist autocrats that he was fighting, on the contrary, he was worse. Why? Since he deceived millions that he was going to make a difference, and continues to do so, that he was holding the torch of the French revolution and unleashing freedom onto Europe. He was misleading millions, not only in France, but in all of Europe, and deceived and followed by his followers only to find themselves somewhere in the battlefields, somewhere deep in some desert or other in the world, or buried dead in Russia. But he never in any way intended to execute any of his so-called enlightened promises and all he ever really intended to do, as history showed, was to reign as a despot absolutist monarch all the time cynically playing upon the French revolution and all the people who had ever backed it and its motto of Liberty, egalite, fraternite.

The way Hiroshima reminded no one of the monstrous crimes of WW2 in Japan - Personal Opinion

The way Hiroshima reminded no one of the monstrous crimes of WW2 in Japan.

When one inquires people today about Japan during WW2, the first thing that they will say is that it was so awful that US was subjecting Japan to two atomic bombs and causing so much pain to that country. But what is nearly completely left out of the general historical consciousness and is seldom brought up by the media was that prior to and during WW2, the Imperial Japan was a tyrannical, bloodthirsty, genocidal nation, bent on expansion, killing, looting and raping any and everything they could get their hands on in the name of their beloved and divine leader, Emperor Hirohito. Between 1937 and its capitulation Japan and its emperor had caused the death of a maximum of 20,000,000 estimated people and most of them were Chinese. Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Burma, East Timor and China were also attacked and occupied by Japan.

The Japanese terror and madness, involving inhuman and atrocious events against the locals, resembled the Nazi Germany in Europe. The Japanese racially and cultural discriminated the Chinese as the historical enemies, in a similar manner as the Germans did with Jews, Slavs and other groups of people. The Chinese were subhuman to the Japanese hence you could do anything you needed to them, and the Japanese did. To illustrate this, in 1937 Japanese imperialists had invaded Nanjing, the capital of Chinese republic and began a spurt of six weeks of destruction, massacres and rapes of the local Chinese population. There was an instance where the Japanese had competitions among themselves which pitted them against each other, which one could decapitate the most Chinese civilians, or could rape the most Chinese women, etc. With Japanese killing up to 300,000 individuals, raping up to 80,000 women, and leaving Nanking in heaps of rubble, it was all in the name of their beloved emperor Hirohito. The number of people killed at Nanjing alone was greater than the total number of people killed at Hiroshima and Nagasaki together, yet how many people are aware of Nanjing nowadays who have been aware of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Toshiaki Mukai and Tsuyoshi Noda are two Japanese officers who challenge each other on who would be able to kill (with a sword) one hundred Chinese people first. The headline is bold, and it states, "Incredible Record" (in the Contest to Decapitate 100 People) Mukai 106 -105 Noda, Both 2nd Lieutenants Go Into Extra Innings.

The Japanese even engaged in rape on large scale where their army was engaged in their occupation. It is approximated that the Japanese army used hundreds of thousands of comfort women or forced sex slaves all throughout their empire and military bases. These women would be raped every day, and even tens of times a day. Many of the women were literally raped to death at the hands of the Japanese soldiers and officials. The Japanese also made gruesome medical experiments on thousands of innocent individuals who were women and children or prisoners of war by the notorious unit 731 of the Japanese army. And what appears to be unbelievable but has been widely recorded is the fact that the Japanese army engaged in cannibalism on mass scale and consumed their POW. Indeed, his US bomber narrowly escaped being devoured by the Japanese after landing near one of their posts when former US president, George Bush senior almost met his death. His crew were not so lucky. Their Japanese captors took them into their camps and slaughtered them, then cooking the human flesh to the officers as dinner, removing the livers and thigh muscles of the humans with the use of surgeons.

The unit 731 members holding one of their test subjects.

The vast majority of this suffering, death and destruction the Japanese people caused has been nuked off of popular memory, and is now only recalled by historians, history buffs and those people that have lived in the Asian and south east Asian countries that Japan occupied during the WW 2. The atrocities committed by the Germans during the WW2 are well known to everyone today. Even the majority of people are aware of the Russian atrocities during the WW2. But, when you mention to anyone about the Japanese war crimes committed during the WW2, which were no better than the German/Russian, you will just hear that something happened to Hiroshima was awful. To bring this out of context, consider this; had the people in the present day celebrated as the allied bombing of Dresden, in Germany in 1945, but had known absolutely nothing about the war crimes perpetrated by the Nazis during WW2, they would have treated Germany and the German people as the victims of WW2.

To put it straight, bombing a city with a nuclear bomb, and killing all civilians, regardless of whether they are guilty or not, is a war crime. But it was that war crime that Japan used to cleanse and delete its own plethora of war crimes, the unimaginable suffering it caused to China, Korea and virtually all the South East Asian nations and the unimaginable millions of people it killed out of the stage of history and historical memory.

It was not Americans who did not murder 100 million Native Americans, but diseases! Personal Opinion

It was not Americans who did not murder 100 million Native Americans, but diseases.

One such meme or, as it were, argument that has been extremely trending on social media is as follows: Americans killed 100 million native Americans.

To begin with, it is ridiculous to say that there were 100 million native Americans inhabiting the north American continent. By 17th century, there were up to 18 million native Americans residing in North America. Generally, It is approximated that the pre Columbian population of the Native people in the BOTH South and North America was between tens of millions and over 100 million people in the 15 th century. Whichever the case, the population of the natives reduced to less than six million by 1650 in South America (as estimated by the Spaniards) and in North America the population ranged between several millions and 18 million during the periods. Should you wish to accuse someone of the death of the Native Americans, in south and north America, you should accuse the bubonic plague, chicken pox, pneumonic plague, cholera, diphtheria, influenza, measles, scarlet fever, small pox, typhus, tuberculosis and whooping cough that was being ferried across Europe by the European settlers and colonists unintentionally. These are the diseases that Europeans were mostly immune to yet the natives were not and were transferred across the Atlantic ocean in their flesh, the animals they carried with them, ships and even the clothes and tools they used in the new world.

The very nature of the epidemics with such scale was apocalyptic in nature and the death toll of up to 90 percent of the population in the worst hit regions was in itself a disaster, not even to be surpassed even by the catastrophe that was the Black Death of medieval Europe.

The arrival of European settlers in North and South America exposed more of the native population, and they were eliminated as a consequence. In reality It was the European germs who did the bulk of the actual conquest of South and North America as they killed off the local population and literally depopulated both South and North America of their indigenous populations. These were already germs and diseases that were introduced in South America back in 1492 with the first voyage of Christopher Columbus and the discovery of South America after that. They started their journey upwards starting South America and caused inconceivable destruction to the locals of North America. It is estimated that the majority of the local population that succumbed to the contraction of these diseases tens and tens of millions perished in the 16th century and the dawn of the 17th century. According to historians, had it not been the pandemics that swept across the continent empires like the Inca and Aztec would have never succumbed to the Spanish conquistadors and the Native American population in the North and South would have resisted the Spanish colonialists with more success.

Aztecs Dying of Small Pox, 16th Century.

It is worth mentioning that the European settlers, otherwise known as colonizers, were unaware of the disastrous impact on the population they made on the natives. Their use of their diseases as a form of bio weapon against local native populations, whether it was by providing them with blankets or other items infected with contagious diseases (except one case of one British officer) is simply a historical myth. But this by no means can be construed as defense of horrendous, brutal crimes and actual conquest of Spanish, English, French and American colonists against the indigenous local population of south and north America. Crimes that were characterized by enslavement, massacres, rape and plunder at an industrial level, destruction of entire civilizations and lifestyles, and the displacement and ethnic cleansing of entire peoples and human beings. But one should not forget that in the first place, the deaths of the vast majority of the local population in the Americas were caused by diseases, not by people and by no means by Americans or the USA that did not even exist in that epoch, and which so loudly promulgate themselves on the internet.

The case of how the modern Middle East was developed and destroyed by the UK and France - Personal Opinion

The case of how the modern Middle East was developed and destroyed by the UK and France.

The secret Sykes-Picot agreement was signed on January 3, 1916, by France and the UK and essentially partitioned former Ottoman empire provinces in the middle east into French and British spheres of influence. This agreement was signed in the year 1916, and was a secret agreement which was named after the negotiators of the deal, Sir Mark Sykes and Francois Georges-Picot, thus the Sykes-Picot agreement.

According to the Sykes-Picot, Syrian coast and most of modern Lebanon would be acquired by France, central and southern Mesopotamia around Baghdad and Basra provinces and Palestine would have an international government. The remaining part of the territory in question - a vast land comprising of modern-day Syria, Mosul in northern Iraq, and Jordan would have its local Arab chiefs under French authority in the north and British in the south. In addition, Britain and France would not lose their free passage and trade in the other zone of influence. The issue was that by dividing the former Ottoman lands between the UK and France, and essentially establishing the modern middle east, these two countries did it without even a single thought given to the religious perspectives of the local people, and ethnic character of the national desires.

As an example, the three unique ottoman provinces that made up modern day Iraq included a Sunni province, Shiite province and a Kurdish province. British simple threw the three of them into a carriage without thinking of ethnicity or religious differences, backgrounds and tensions. The outcome of such was a chain of bloody revolutions, tribal wars, subjugation, killings and civil conflicts between all the three ethnic and distinct religious provinces that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and is still being felt even today by the people of Iraq and modern day Iraq.

The British and the French were interested in their strategies only. Hence local citizens of various religions, background, and cultures were pooled in a man-made constructed state, the borders of which were determined in Paris and London. This is the way Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine (then Israel/Gaza/West Bank) came into existence, because of minor, greedy squabbling of two crumbling colonial powers.

Mark Sykes and Francois Georges-Picot.

This deal was closed due to the fear that the locals would rebel against it and also due to the fact that it amounted to breaking promises the British government already made to Hussein bin Ali sharif of Mecca and other British and French allies in the Middle East who assisted it in WW1. Only when Lenin and the Soviet Russia revealed it to the world did it come into the limelight.

Nobody is implying that there was nothing like the middle east was a paradise without conflict and war prior to the UK and France dividing it between themselves, however centuries of the Ottoman kingdom brought the region, to a greater extent, long durations of stability and relative peace. Naturally all that would have disappeared in the current middle east, the one that was westernized by western Europeans.

It is the direct consequence of that accord, which was signed 104 years ago, that we are seeing today in the Middle East, between Gaza and Damascus to Baghdad.

This is how China left the world without remembering Tibet - Personal Opinion

 

This is how China left the world without remembering Tibet.

Until relatively recently, the Chinese invasion of Tibet and the forced colonization of its territory by the Chinese was a scalding and fashionable subject on the media and in the circles of A-list celebrities. Today however there is no discussion about it, or the plight of the Tibetan people who now suffer a 67 year old brutal Chinese occupation. The question is why has no one forgotten about the occupation of Tibet, and the occupation of other countries in the world, such as Palestine, is now a very trendy and popular issue which is repeated by the media, UN and western governments? It is a simple answer, lots of money.

In 1950, China invaded Tibet and occupied it. Approximately one point two million of the one point two million Tibetans, or more than one-fifth of the pre-occupation population in Tibet, has been killed because of the Chinese occupation and the following repression policies in Tibet. In 1959, the Tibetans went on a rebellion against the oppressive Chinese Communist rule over their territories. After six days the uprising was suppressed by Chinese troops and the capital of Tibet Lhasa was taken back. Approximately 87,000 Tibetans were murdered, and around 100,000 fled as refugees and the 14th Dalai Lama was also forced to leave his country and escape to India. In Tibet, there are more than 3 million Tibetans who occupy Chinese-controlled Tibet and approximately 150,000 occupying exile.

Naturally no western government will take any action against Tibet nowadays, they are all fearful of offending China and ruining their trade ties with this country. As an illustration, China has a massive share of the US foreign debt (nearly 1.3 trillion) and the US goods and services trade with China amounted to a figure of an estimated 648.2 billion in 2016. Moreover, the trade between the EU and China has grown massively over the recent years. By far, China is the largest imported country of the EU which has also emerged as one of the fastest growing export markets of the EU. EU has also emerged to be the largest importing country of China. China and Europe are currently trading more than 1 billion a day. The economy of the world today is reliant on China and China is using the same to hush and erase any remnant and any memory of Tibet.

The Chinese have made the rest of the world realize that unless they wish to keep enjoying prosperous relations with China, the issue of Tibet cannot be brought up, or even brought to the fore.

This has seen the Tibetans being forced to burn themselves to draw the attention of any media to their plight. Even that does not touch the main stream media today that is completely overlooking and sweeping under the carpet the issue of occupation of Tibet.

The young generation within Tibet has been desperate and suicide has been the desperate protest. Similar to the Buddhist monks who had committed suicide in Vietnam, the earliest of these actions happened in India in 1998, although the strategy started to get serious in 2011. This has seen 110 Tibetans set themselves on fire since then as a protest.

On one hand, the same kind of cultural and literal genocide that was and is being affected on Tibetans against other minorities that are settled in China. The Uyghur people are experiencing the same type of cultural and actual genocide as the Tibetans did in the last several decades, and the Mongolians that reside in China are already targeted by the CCP and are likely to be the next targets of the CCP ethnic genocide list. The reality that the savage takeover of Tibet and the resultant unrelenting torture of the Tibetan people has been whitewashed off the record by western states and the media so as not to spoil the diplomatic and trade relations with China, has given China strength and indicated to the CCP that they can get away with everything.
