The official story: Pussy Riot was a feminist punk rock protest group who were thrown in prison for protesting Putin and the Orthodox Church. Big meanie Putin is just afraid of strong, confident women. He probably has a small penis, too. Free Pussy Riot! Freedom of expression! 
In 2003, the State Department-backed Rose Revolution overthrew relatively pro-Russian Georgian president Eduard Shevardnadze and replaced him with Mikheil Saakashvili, a pro-Western reformer who favored integration with the EU and NATO. 
The Soviets went on to nearly lose ANOTHER war with Finland in 1939, their much-larger military held at bay by dudes in skis. Even after Lend-Lease began, the Soviets were unable to crush the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, a pro-Nazi resistance group, until 1949. 
I-81 runs from Tennessee to the Canadian border at Kingston. The section going through Syracuse was completed in the 1970s over the heads of libtards whining about how it "divided da communitee" of poor blacks living on the South Side. They immediately sought to tear it down. 
Conservative historiography paints Nelson Rockefeller, Thomas Dewey and the rest as liberal squishes who kept the GOP from becoming a right-wing force. This is partially true. But the Rockefeller Republicans represented a strain of nationalist thought going back to Hamilton.
In 2004, incumbent Republican senator from Illinois Peter Fitzgerald announced he would not be running for reelection. The Republicans nominated Jack Ryan, a wealthy investment banker, to replace him, while the Democrats nominated Obama, then a largely unknown state senator. 
Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda, and Ciskei were granted full independence from 1976 to 1981. They were free to manage their own internal affairs and conduct diplomacy without relying on South Africa. The leaders of these states supported independence because of this. 
The first part of McKinley's speech attacks easy money policies undertaken under Grover Cleveland's presidency, but the second half delves into free trade: "...we are opposed to British political economy." Laissez faire was seen as a British attempt to crush the American nation. 
"...on the sidewalks of Christopher Street there wasn't a pretence at conversation, let alone at recognizing that anyone might have a personality. You were understood to be there to have sex, period. The single and only point was to find someone you could get off with..." 
In Spanish, Americans are referred to as "estadounidense," literally "United Statesian" or "USian." This is officially because children in Spanish-speaking countries are taught that North and South America are a single continent. In reality, it's because they're resentful. 
Chretien was prime minister from 1993 to 2003. He was Quebecois, meaning English was his second language, and he also suffered from Bell's palsy, which paralyzed half of his face. Every speech and press conference he ever made was completely incoherent (here's an example).
In 1975, Morocco corralled 350,000 of its citizens, mainly women and children, and sent them into the Spanish Western Sahara colony armed with nothing but Moroccan flags. They were very open that this was an invasion to take over the territory, even if the invaders were unarmed. 
Newfoundland has a very distinct history. It is one of the oldest European colonies in the Americas, with its capital, St. John's, being established in 1583. Its age and proximity to Britain (St. John's is closer to Milan than Vancouver) resulted in a different culture emerging.
