Re US forces in New Guinea. Actually, there were 5 Australian divisions there before the US arrived, most of the Australian Navy, and a good part of the Australian Air Force. (Mr Ryan, my English teacher was in the Air Force.)

I mention here that he, and another teacher, spoke very highly of the US soldiers competence, as did a commando friend who was integrated into some U.S. section in the Vietnam war. At the armed forces level there was a great spirit of comradeship.

1848 - Gold is discovered at Sutter’s Mill in California, sparking what would become the California Gold Rush.

After the California Goober$Mint imported scalp hunting from Mexico, the 49ers went on to chop up women and children with hatchets to sell their scalps to said Goober$Mint. The survivors were sold to 49er gold mine death camps at San Francisco slave markets. And slowly starved and worked to death. Adolf would later copy these death-labor camps at Auschwitz. And the Democrat Jim Crow laws modified against Jews. Enforced by the AntiFa of their day, the Brown Shirts.
