Tajikistan joining the USSR caused the Great Depression.
I ❤️ EU 🇪🇺
Yeah… USSR was a Union. In the same way prison is a form of hotel.
Well, no one said the union was consensual.
Oh I was trying to figue out where all the uk unions went on 2020…
Such an excellent visual! Conveys so much, like the very gradual growth of the EU, the abrupt dissolution of the Soviet Union, the long history of both… of course the circular axis makes it look like the Soviet Union is as much present today as the EU… which is kinda misleading, but actually interesting as one could argue that it has left its mark on Europe and its legacy continues to influence geopolitics in the region.
It should have mentioned Yugoslavia
Even Yugoslavia didn’t want to talk about Yugoslavia
(Not that I’m equating it in any way with Yugoslavia)
Would Nazi Germany technically fall in the union definitions? Or did the annexed areas not represent countries (but the Reichs subdivisions & different states compared to og countries)?(This is besides the fact none of them joining voluntary, not even Austria.)
I mean… UK, Italy, Spain, Germany. All the empires of Europe go in the same definition.
True, but only European countries (and in a specific timeframe) are referenced so I figured the definition was such.
It’s a shame we don’t have the UK in the EU anymore, hope we’ll have them back eventually
I hope we get our act together and come back too. It’ll be a while or something dramatic happening before public sentiment will permit it, though. Many Brexit supporters have soured on Brexit itself, but acrually reversing course would be controversial
You’d think that as a country that describes itself as being made of four countries, we’d be more on board with the idea
Ha ha who was Malenkov?! Never heard of him, the more you know!
Very nice graph IMO!
