Un apunte no siempre conocido y muy importante sobre el nazismo es que este reposó en buena medida en la colaboración de la población, una colaboración en la delación tan excesiva que la gran mayoría de denuncias, que escondían ajustes de cuentas de todo tipo, fueron sobreseídas.

El 9 de febrero es el día de la lengua griega. Por ello traigo un ejemplo de paleografía griega del siglo XVII de un proceso judicial en el Archivo estatal de Venecia. Recordando que por siglos, la lengua griega fue difundida desde la Serenissima. @adribrulotesgr.bsky.social

Que estemos debatiendo si Groenlandia se la queda EEUU o la sigue ocupando Dinamarca como si la población nativa Inuit (el 88% de los habitantes) no tuviera nada que opinar al respecto, indica hasta qué punto tenemos interiorizado el colonialismo.

He tardado más de dos horas en encontrar un documento -solo encontrarlo y tener acceso, leerlo no- para poder contrastar una info que ni siquiera sé si luego usaré. La investigasió es una cosa, amigas.

2024 would be the year in which I finished my #PhD dissertation and it got accepted without corrections by the three reviewers.
(It happened some weeks agout I guess it's a big deal and deserves to be shared).

Absolutely delighted about the publication of UNCONQUERED STATES (Oxford University Press), which looks at the global history of non-European powers in the imperial age.

December 9, 1824, Battle of #Ayacucho.
200 years since the last great battle of the wars of independence and the effective end of Spanish rule in South America.

«Ayacucho, like Waterloo, which decided the destiny of Europe, has determined the fate of the American nations.»
