"From the river to the sea, Korea will be free!"

The infamous Korean resistance leader turned politician, Kim Il-Sung, speaking of the occupation of the northern Korean Peninsula by the Neo-Qing Empire in 1967. Well known for his ruthless approach to leadership, Kim would lead a fierce resistance against the Qing occupation for five years before fleeing to the Japanese-alligned Korean State and becoming the founder of the National Korean Liberation Army. He was assassinated in 1976, fuelling a wave of anti-Qing sentiment through Korea and Japan. While he never lived to see northern Korea liberated, his son did. The Korean Peninsula was reunified in 1988 after the overthrowing of the Qing Emperor, with Kim's son, Kim Jong-Il, becoming the first Prime Minister of the Korean Republic.

latino stand up comedian Carlos Juarez going into a joke about a recent British Article called "Reliving the Glory Days." The article was panned by basically everyone who wasn't a western european or american (US). Juarez's joke was controversial, but more for being unfunny and a bit fillabuster-y than anything.

"It was you, Mr. Getten who ended the Pax Americana. You sold the poor out for a quick buck. Engineered recessions and depressions so the value of your interests would plummet for a few months and you could gobble them up. You backed a racist regime because it gave you an excuse to send american boys to some fuck-all desert to die for your oil. You sold weapons to governments we were at war with after paying Congress to authorize interventions. And now? on live television, I'm going to slit your throat -less pain than you deserve, unfortunately. And then? I'm going to liquidize all your assets and give every american two hundred thousand dollars. And in case you yourself are watching Mr. President? Don't thank me just yet. After all, despite your words against this slug, you still let him bully you around. Thus, the Vice President and I have agreed you've failed your oath, and he will be replacing you right about... now."

'AGGCK---'

"Now that that's done, ladies and gentlemen, please check your bank accounts at your nearest opportunity. Now then, after all that, the government is free to arrest me. My name is Franklin Von Gent, and i live at 7C Briskshore Apartments, Seattle. Just do me a favor and win this damn cold war, eh? We're americans, we beat the British before with muskets and farming tools. Why's this time any different?"

Franklin von Gent, murderer to some, hero to others. But in the end, he was remembered for one thing: the infamous Seattle Coup. Launched by Franklin and the VP in 1988, it failed to achieve large-scale success, lacking popular support, and contributed to the collapse of the United States of North America and the victory of the British Republic in the Second Cold War.

A brother to the famous gangster mob Cato the Elder in Chicago, reacting to when the assassination attempt on Caesar Rahman, the police chief of Chicago, failed.

"Bourbon, Habsburg, Romanov, Hohenzollern, Hanover– they’re all just spokes on a wheel. This one’s on top, then that one’s on top, and on and on it spins, crushing those on the ground. I’m not going to stop the wheel. I’m going to break the wheel."

Joseph Stalin as he invaded the German Kaiserreich. after Russia's withdraw from the first world war, another year went by before the Central Powers and the Entente agreed to have a ceasefire drawn in Rio De Jeanaro, as the CP's sole request was that the ceasefire be mediated by a true neutral party like Brazil, fearing America's entente sympathies. Twenty years late, Stalin had rebuilt the war machine of the russian bear and stormed west. Shame that threatening the dominant world order (capitalism with varying degrees of aristocracy) gets everyone who uses that system against you, and the invasion is a laughing stock in modern views.

"While naturally we condone Mr. Von Gent, he brought up a valuable point in his attempted coup. Many of our most wealthy have been puppeteering Parliament for too long. We cannot repeat the mistakes of the past and let a few with impossibly large fortunes guide the most powerful nation on earth. If the Pax Britannia secundo is to be secured, we must reform. I propose a hard cap on the amount one person's networth can be, and that is 130x the lowest wage in the whole Empire. If a kenyan only makes a hundreth of a pound, then you'll make do with one bloody pound and a third. We are here to lead the world into the future, not let it be held back by a few dozen oafs who's family's last contributed to society in the 1820s.

(...)

"Motion Carried. Most excellent. onto the next matter at hand. Lord Benjamin of Oregon proposes we begin the process of better federalizing the Empire into the Imperial Federation. His current bill would have the appointment of a committee, made of lawyers and legal scholars from all the dominions to draft an Imperial Magna Carta, and another two committees of generals and army officers for designing the defense of the Empire, with the last committee being the buisnessmen and the economists.

"Motion Carried."
-- Transcript of Parliment 1988, published in "British Renaissance," 2010

The motion proposed by Miles Johnson that is generally accepted as the turning point when the Greater British Imperium began to recover after nearly fifty years of continuous low-scale wars, revolts and decline. While some measures would prove too ambitious and need to be scaled back, altered or scrapped, the reforms were a success and led to the British becoming the lone superpower on earth.

"I know I did not just hear that! The same paper that's still holding on to the Pulitzer Prize they got for covering up the Rape of Vienna is trying to lecture ME about how freedom of the press is the first safeguard against tyranny? Sit down, shut up, and go back to humping Petain's leg before I give over 3 million Austrians some long overdue justice straight out of your HIDE!"

“I’m going to kick your butt!”

A quote allegedly said by Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck to premier Rosa Luxemborg of the Socialist Republic of Germany after she asked him to lead the military to break up an attempted putsch. Unbeknownst to her, he sympathized with them and turned on her. When asked if it was true, his son said "sounds like him, but he probably wasn't that polite".

Alexei Kosygin, leader of the USSR, responding to a NYT journalist when bothered about human rights abuses in the USSR. The Rape of Vienna was a serious incident when Allied troops seized the Nazi city of Vienna and caused absolute mayhem. The US government, disturbed, forced American newspapers to move the other way and even forced the Pulitzer Committee to give a free prize to the NYT to prevent any suspicion.

"If Britain does not let us send this filth they call themselves 'Jews' to Palestine, we will take Palestine for ourselves!"

"I've searched for hours and hours, days and days, weeks and weeks, months and months, years and years. They aren't here. The bodies, corpses aren't here. They're all gone, reduced to atoms."

The mad ramblings of one of the few survivors of the Amsterdam bombing. The detonation of the nuclear bomb in the city of Amsterdam is largely seen as the final major atrocity in the Second World War. The Third Reich, following the May Coup that put Himmler in power, was determined to bloody the nose of the Anglo-American-Brazillian badger, stored its first and only nuclear weapon in the city. The weapon was detonated on August 6, 1945, killing nearly 200,000 in the initial blast and causing the death of thousands more in Germany, Belgium, and Britain in the coming years. It also resulted in the creation of Dutch Wasteland, a dangerously poisoned area made uninhabitable for nearly three decades.

Himmler would later be found shot to death outside of Berlin in a futile attempt to escape south to Bavaria. Some say his body was burned at the spot, some say he was buried in the forests nearby. Others say he is not really dead. But the only sure fact is that due to the blast and the resulting fatalities led to the Madrid Accords of 1947, an agreement by the world's power to never develop nuclear technology.

Winston Churchill speaking of the costly victory at Singapore. Under the incompetent leadership of Lord Commander Osman Ali-Khan, the 2,000 men of the Republican Japanese garrison, starved and outnumbered, managed to kill nearly 15,000 Indian troops before being wiped out to the last man. Following the defeat, the mertiocracy process adopted by the rest of the Empire was finally introduced in the Raj, and the quality of Indian officers skyrocketed. This was one of the most humiliating events of the Anglo-Japanese colonial war of 1944, and is mentioned little throughout the British Empire to this day.
