The fascist Sudeten German Party was in fact *far more* popular with Sudeten Germans than the regular Nazis were back in the Fatherland - the SdP won a full 88% of Sudeten German votes in the last elections before the German occupation So no I don't feel that bad for them

The intentional dismemberment of the Austro-Hungarian empire was a huge problem. The 1920s was a time of enormous chaos in the East. It isn't surprising that people who lived in this world retreated back into ethnic identity.

It doesn't have to be surprising to have deserved consequences

So voting for the wrong party is grounds for being removed from your home? Do I read you rightly? I'm just curious, does this apply in our own time? Would you support doing the same thing to Trump voters, for instance?

The shooting war hasn't started yet but in our last civil war, much future harm could've been avoided had former Confederates been disenfranchised and expropriated, yes

That's what a war is Losing a war has to have consequences Otherwise, you didn't actually win the war, and that means, in fact, that the war didn't actually end

This argument, prior to 1918 and really 1945 would have been considered unconscionable. Peace almost always came with amnesty in order to ensure that you actually got peace! This moderate view makes war less savage.

This is nonsense By the standards of any civil war, either ancient or modern, the end of the American Civil War was ABSURDLY lenient to the Confederates At the very least, it was normal to expect the actual leaders of a rebel government to be hanged for treason

For basically NO ONE in the Confederate hierarchy at ANY level to permanently lose life, liberty or even property makes a mockery of the idea that the Union actually won the war at all They even gave them back their right to vote!

Lincoln's death didn't help, but it was the Hayes-Tilden election that was the real coffin nail
