Sep 27	comment	When did aircraft carriers eclipse battleships as the “King of the seas”? It wasn't purely about being able to move merchant ships around but also being able move naval firepower freely around. Naval power that could help with amphibious landings and provide a mobile airfield for support.

Aug 14	comment	Effects of deliberately creating inflation to eliminate domestic debt @TED But the original question ask about the results of tackling domestic debt with inflation. The difference between pre war Germany and for example the US in the 80s is that in the latter case all (or almost all) debt was in USD (i.e. their own currency). Trying to print your way out of external debt will certainly lead to a highly devalued currency like we saw in Germany and staggering inflation. The US could still do that today but most other nations cannot as they are straddled with with external debt (debt in another currency) that will not devalue with domestic inflation.
Aug 14	comment	Effects of deliberately creating inflation to eliminate domestic debt How does this relate to the original question? Wasn't the hyperinflation caused directly by external debt, not domestic?

Aug 4	comment	Has there ever been an attempted military takeover of a democracy in the western world? @Ted It was the norm here in Iceland at least. It had probably a lot to do with the original G7 and their shared views on world affairs at the time.
Aug 2	comment	Has there ever been an attempted military takeover of a democracy in the western world? @KeithThompson Ok, but probably not a military coup though?
Aug 1	comment	Has there ever been an attempted military takeover of a democracy in the western world? @TED Where I come from(Iceland) the Western world was always been defined as W-Europe, USA, Canada and Japan.
Aug 1	comment	Has there ever been an attempted military takeover of a democracy in the western world? @Luke Was there ever a military coup attempt? The 1944 attempt was hardly against a democracy?
Aug 1	comment	Has there ever been an attempted military takeover of a democracy in the western world? Thank you for the information but I was asking specifically about the "western world", i.e. (W-Europe, Japan, Canada, USA)
