Explain the AH Quote

"In this political climate, I'd rather stay away from New York and other coastal cities. After what the Spanish did to them in the last war, I'm surprised anyone wants to go live there."

After the catastrophic (from the Americans perspective) Spanish-American War, which saw the bombardment of multiple coastal cities, fear and panic would grip the coasts of the United States, and the military would come to dominate politics. The years following would see the passing of the two ocean navy act, which mandated that the United States maintain a navy as large and powerful at any other country in both the atlantic and pacific oceans.

"To you mothers, who for years sent your sons across the seas to fight for Russia as we sought to contain the extremists in Europe, I say this. Do not weep for those who could not return. Mother Russia has embraced your sons as her own, and they are at peace as she shelters them from the cold and wind. By their actions, they have taken their place amongst the heroes of legend, and they will be remembered and honored as true Russians, for as long as Russians exist to remember our fallen brothers."

Russian President Anastas Mikoyan, 1947.

The Second Great War (1939-1946) was the most deadly wars in modern history. Russia alone would lose 29 million lives, as the National Revolutionary movement sought to strangle Russian democracy from the West, and the hypernationalist Chinese state sought to conquer Siberia.

Mikoyan, the first non-Russian head of state, would lead the nation to victory. First by repelling a joint invasion, and then by strangling the opposing regimes in their cradle.

However, the postwar recession and slow recovery would lead to Mikoyan and the Socialist Revolutionary coalition being thrown out, ending the political coalition that had governed Russia since the 1917 Revolution.

"A tyrant is a tyrant, even if he wears a red, white, and blue flag."

President Henry Clay managed to snag the election that would've been Andrew Jackson's second term. This quote was how he defamed Jackson's presidency in chief.

"You know, I love these American colonies. They aren't objecting to the taxes, just that their governments didn't set them. You know what? Write them back saying that we'll repeal all the taxes bar the Stamp Act and the one on tea, but that they'll have their own parliaments. The governors are given authority to create the counts and duchies for the house of lords." King George III

"I'm gonna make him an offer he cant refuse"

In the cutthroat politics of the Kingdom of Milano, there were three options for a politician's long term goals: win, lose, or die. But one day, a noble named Alessandro Manzoni proved that you could take all three of them at once! The offer was simple: give me your throne or I'll burn Milan and everyone in it to the ground. The noble had done it before, razing Nice to the ground. He had threatened to do it to Venice, and almost did it to Rome. Surely he would do it again. In one fateful conversation, Alessandro won the throne of the Kingdom, lost his rights to inherit the Duchy of Roma, and also would sign his death sentence to an Austrian crossbow bolt three years later.

So, in the end, it was an offer he couldn't refuse, but would cost him his life as well.

"Also, that is Alan Wake's Voice Actor."
 
"Also, that is Alan Wake's Voice Actor."

A quote largely attributed by Paul Manafort, though is truly anonymous. The "Voice Actor" in question is Senator Alan Wake's speech writer, Stephen King, a famed horror novelist who, in his later years, wrote political speeches on the side for those he supported. It is said that some of Senator Wake's best speeches were written by the novelist, though the exact number was never truly ascertained.

Do you know what it's like to wander in the Fourth Dimension?"

Do you know what it's like to wander in the Fourth Dimension?"

A public warning by Consumer Fraud Commission (CFC) leader Arie ter Stegen after the Church of Messianic Renewal Of Earth, a mix between an apocalyptic sect and an extremist eco-terrorist organisation, had incited over 20000 members to pay for courses etc. to reach "the Fourth Dimension" in which "Earth is renewed, climate change was averted, and life is possible again in a pristine state". Unfortunately, ter Stegen's warning was not heeded and over 3000 members committed mass suicide somewhere in the forests of Oregon where they had tried to live a "natural" life in a commune-type village where emitting any CO2 except by breathing was prohibited under penalty of death.
But not before suing Arie ter Stegen with the aim of ceasing and desisting. This became a famous Supreme Court case, furthermore known as ter Stegen vs. Church of Messianic Renewal and it was decided that warning consumers of a dangerous (pseudo-)religious group did not violate the separation of Church and State.

"From now on, Werder Bremen shall govern this nation!"

Declaration of independence on the Markplatz by one of the enigmatic leaders of the so-called Organic City of Bremen and the River Valley, an anarcho-municipalist entity that believed in the principles of naturofusionism (that nature was integral to the human culture which it produced) and which arose amidst the German Revolution of 1911 and the downfall of the overstretched, Austrian-led German Federation. The Organic City did not last long, ending up annexed into the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway by 1918.

FBI Director William Algier expressing frustration at the fact that newly ordered surveillance vehicles, ones he demanded look inconspicuous, were exactly the kind of conspicuous white, windowless van he had tried to avoid having in the fleet.

"Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!"

Lawrence who recently converted to Islam, would often yell this battlecry, being echoed by his men as well.
 
"Socialism is based."

Campaign slogan of American Presidential candidate Marilyn Kennedy, an avowed socialist who was trying to rehabilitate socialism's image in the United States. However, the fact that she came from such a wealthy family opened her up to accusations of hypocrisy, the most common calling her a "champagne socialist", and she ended with less than one percent of the vote.

"Cowboys, vikings, samurai, knights, hussars and Janissaries. It's a mexican standoff, but we ain't got no mexicans."

The late actor Ronald Reagan on the 124th and final meeting of the League of Nations in December 1999. The Pacific Republic, the Kingdom of Denmark-Prussia, the Republic of Japan, the (constitutional) Kingdom of France, the Polish Commonwealth, and the Neo-Ottoman Empire had met in a tense conference a week earlier to decide the fate of the League. Contrary to popular thought, the meeting went quite well, and the League would be replaced with the United States of Earth (literally just UN).

Montezuma to Hernan Cortes shortly before the latter was sacrificed to the Aztec Gods. Cortes' head had been pierced with numerous poison darts the size of pins before his capture, and was slowly dying, up until his heart was ripped out.
