silverflight8I've been reading about European history (I read through the section about WWII, a bit beyond, then skipped around to the early fifteenth century) and I have two things to say.
1. What a huge mess. Peace is an elusive thing, I guess, and the constant reshifting of borders and alliances, new leaders and religions, conflicts exploding from all sorts of places makes everything incredibly complicated.
2. No wonder the EU is having so much trouble with being unified...some of the countries were so set against each other, I wouldn't have believed that sort of alliance would work. (Frankly, I'm still amazed France and Great Britain got over their historical differences and worked together in WWI. But that's me.)
It is also snowing. Today, *checks calendar again*, is May 27th. *facepalm* The heating is back on, and I guess the shorts and miniskirts that people have been sporting will disappear for awhile.
