Far better. Thank you!

These allegations are controversial, and should probably not be presented as cold facts. You may want to rephrase things a bit.

comment How did it happen that countries and cities got different names in different languages?
This answer is a bit of a mess, but mostly in the service of pointing out what a mess the real-life situation is, so +1 from me. :-)

@Anixx - This is a good point on technical grounds, so I'm changing the answer's verbiage to "Eurasian Steppe". The Ostrogoths were pastoralists controlling a pasture area in the steppe north of the Black Sea (technically in Europe by most folks' reckoning.) Culturally this area at that time is more convenient to think of as an integrated part of the greater Eurasian Steppe. Throughout the age in question, it was controlled by pastoralists. Often it was the same "nation" stretching clear back to the borders of China. I think its a valid unit of study, whatever we chose to call it.

comment How did the triple entente manage such a large breakthrough in WW1?
Just as a quickie, I undstand from one of my sources that the fresh US divisions were effectively at double-strength once they started arriving, as all the other powers had been fighting for years, and hadn't been able to replace their losses fully down at that level.

If that's per person, those were some pretty darn rich people.

comment Did WW1 produce a “Baby Boom” like demographic effect in USA or elsewhere?
I'd be more inclined to attribute the interwar bust to the Great Depression. It turns out the same thing happened after the Great Recession of 2008. As an Okie myself, my grandmother told stories of her father, a doctor, writing perscriptions for food for malnourished children brought into his office. Not many would want to bring kids into those kinds of conditions

Modding this up, as I wondered the same thing when I was watching it.
