29. "History tells us that is a bad thing.".. Yup, Neville Chamberlain gave the Sudetenland

A German speaking territory in Czechoslovakia to Hitler. He thought he was avoiding "conflict" but it only gave the little nazi more impetus to take more land...
"Lebensraum" As Hitler put it. A place to expand for the "racially superior" people.

I think PUtin just wants to get Russia back to post WW2 territory, whether the people living in those lands want it or not...uff
