If the Vietnam war began in 1955, does that mean it lasted 20 years, it ended in 1975?

  If the Vietnam war began in 1955, does that mean it lasted 20 years, it ended in 1975? Photo by  Sander Sammy  on  Unsplash No, the Vietnam War began in 1858 when the French first invaded the country. The war with the French then took a short break over 1941–1945 when Japan had invaded Vietnam and when Japan surrendered the territory went back to the French despite Ho Chi Minhs calls for support of Vietnam’s independence. As a result, in 1945 Ho Chi Minh created the Viet Minh which fought the French until the siege of 1954 when the French surrendered in Dien Bien Phu. Americans, had a fear of communism spreading due to the stupid ‘Domino theory’ which had absolutely no basis in fact and might as well been a joke card pulled from a crackerjack box. The Americans decided that with the French pulling out of Vietnam, then with Ho Chi Minh by this time firmly with the Communists, the US had felt it prudent to ensure that Vietnam did not turn to communism. Ultimately the US was scared spit

Ghosts

 Ghosts




What are ghosts?   Are they spirits that never crossed over to the other side because of unfinished business?    Are they specters that are here to haunt the old halls they used to frequent?   Are they good, or evil?

None of the above

Ghosts are merely images from a neighboring timeline that gets very close to the present timeline and allows the viewer to partially see into that timeline.   

Picture time as a ball of yarn.    Wherever within that ball of yarn, time gets very close to another string - we have this phenomenon occur that gives the impression there are ghosts.

Really, it's just seeing an image of someone a year before or thirty years in the future but, because the timelines don't actually converge they are only visible as a phantom image.   

So, they aren't dead - they are in a different time  period and you got a glimpse of it because timelines came very close together.

What was really the historical cause of the war between Israel and Palestine?

 What was really the historical cause of the war between Israel and Palestine? Photo by  Fernández Salas | Unsplash The conflict started over 2000 years ago when the Romans invaded the Middle East and started enforcing their style of law on the people. It roots back to the days when Jesus was killed as the New Testament states that the Jews were chanting for the crucifixion of Jesus and the Romans were interested in keeping control but also of snuffing out some of the religious problems they were having as Jews advocated one God, and it caused a great deal of problems for the Roman religious system. After the death of Jesus, the Romans were in conflict with the Jewish people for another 150 years when they finally broke the resistance and disbanded the Jews, casting them out from the territory. It was this dispersion of people that would serve as a bit an anomaly in the typical conquered people’s history, as usually the people get absorbed into the other people that conquer because of

Why was the Fender Rose Wood Telecaster the only guitar George Harrison hated?

 Why was the Fender Rose Wood Telecaster the only guitar George Harrison hated? This indeed seems to be a question which has some irony built into it. George Harrison was given a Fender Rose Wood Telecaster in 1967 as a gift by Fender. His guitar would become iconic as it would make it’s way into the ‘Let it be’ video as well as it was used for their last public performance. So iconic is that guitar, that Fender decided to do a George Harrison Tele release and my good God is it a gorgeous guitar, yet; George only kept it for around a year as he would give it away in 1969. Ultimately the reason why he gave it away was because of the weight of the guitar. Being a solid body the guitar weighed a ton and he found it too much weight on the straps for it to be comfortable. The person that George gave the guitar to would hold onto it until 2 years after George’s death. His widow would buy the guitar for under a half million. Still, despite George only owning the guitar for a year it made its

Is there any difference between the United States and Canada? If so, how is that possible?

  Is there any difference between the United States and Canada? If so, how is that possible? · Photo by  Brianna R.  on  Unsplash Well, USA no doubt has a large influence on Canada as our main trading partner and main source of entertainment (movies etc) the USA has a lot of influence but, our history is unique and it did create a very distinct group that has some key differences between us and the US. The biggest of them is around the idea of socialism. The US treats Socialism like it’s the boogie man and the beginning of the end of modern society. It’s actually pretty humorous to hear some of the vitriol statements towards socialism and the ill-informed debates that happen down there over it. Independence — Canada is more Peaceful Don’t get me wrong, we still have our nut jobs and jerks here, but we are as a whole less belligerent than the US and the reason comes down to our unique history. The United States went to war with England to become independent. The results of them winning
