I think Pierce is the most forgotten. Fillmore is remembered because of his interesting name (Millard) and because of the Know Nothings. Pierce was a random guy from New Hampshire, the darkhorsiest of darkhorses, who made no memorable impact and left after one term. He isn't even rememered for causing the Civil War, because another Democrat (Buchanan) followed him and took the blame. I did an entire project on Pierce in middle school and the only thing I remember about him is that he was depressed for his entire presidency because his son died right before it started.

There were, however, many decisions much worse during WW2 and the death toll of the bombs, while unnecessary, can be easily overshadowed by many other unnecessary deaths.

Bolivia is such a funny country (more politically speaking ), here is why: Right after independence in 1826 Bolivia always desired a better port to the sea so they proclaimed Arica as theirs. Initially it seemed Peru would accept giving them Arica but it refused. After the war of the Pacific they immediately started complaining about their lack of an access to a sea. As the Tacna-Arica dispute was going on at one moment Bolivia attempted to appeal to the League of Nations to have the matter revised but it predictably failed and the International Court back then rejected their case. At one moment some Bolivian diplomat indirectly suggested to Chile/Peru that, since neither of them could agree to referendum about Tacna/Arica and that since the dispute had been going on since 1894, it would be better if Bolivia got these territories. Of course both sides said no. And later when the USA attempted to arbitrate the issue of Tacna-Arica in 1925-26 Bolivia desired to participate in the talks as well but their pleas were ignored. And they're still at it until this day ! Losing a war and some territory is obviously never a good thing but whining about it all the time isn't really productive and good either lmao

Today? Obviously, but in the middle of the nineteenth century, with the very low demographic density and education level it was perfectly possible and as it happened dozens of times around the world to absorb entire regions and countries in other countries and other cultures, and Paraguay after the war was weakened enough to be absorbed by the neighbors, lucky for them that it did not happen.

[@kevingonzalez9191]

@Melnek What works in Europe doesn’t necessary happen in Latin America.

[@Melnek1]

@@kevingonzalez9191 What are you talking about? Latin America had a much lower population density than Europe, and entire countries had their ethnic and linguistic composition changed in the nineteenth century. Brazil, for example, at the beginning of the nineteenth century had a predominant population of Indians and mestizos with whites and Tupi was spoken more than Portuguese, in the middle of the century, with the African slave trade it became a country of black majority, at the end of the century, with mass European immigration, it became a country with a white majority, not even mestizo, white, entire regions of Brazil completely changed the composition of its populations during the century. Now, Paraguay, devastated and with its male population wiped out, could easily be overwhelmed by Italian immigrants if absorbed by Argentina.

[@kevingonzalez9191]

@Melnek I was mostly talking of country composition,in the sense of its existence,in Latin America there were no major wars of conquest.But since you want to talk for demographics,we’ll first of all Europeans never overtook mixed people in Brazil,”whites” only make up 47% of the population,the rest are non white.And white is mostly referring as in most of Latin America to looks,as genetically Brazilian people like other Latinos are mixed since there was no Jim Crow laws baring marriage between groups paa2015.princeton.edu/papers/150808 In fact besides Africa ,Brazil is the country with most Afro descendent people in the world.

Nice job with this one. Would you consider also making a video on how one of the most despised US Presidents (Woodrow Wilson) helped Poland? He not only publicly supported Polish independence, but also demanded a sea access for the new Polish state in his 13th point, being the first foreign leader to even bring up this case. You could make some maps about numerous border disputes surrounding its creation, they're really interesting.

If you look from the 1960s to the 1970s and then the 80s you see how institutionalized racism went away. The 70s you obviously still had racist people but now they couldn't have their way like before. So it does make me think that if reconstruction had been properly enforced from 1865 to maybe the 1890s then jim crow wouldn't have occurred. And if it did then the government could've done what Eisenhower later did in Little Rock. Another thing too was how the south didnt even fully rebuild until around ww2. You still had most of the white population beinf super poor and jim crow allowed them to vent their anger towards poor blacks instead of those in power in their regions
