#History Of Telegram

[facts-i-just-made-up]

What really happened to the Zimmermann telegram?

Nothing I heard of, they don't teach that here in Houston, Mexico.

Hey! It’s me again, asking about Italy brothers headcanons :D I’m really curious what states you think the boys represented pre-unification. Feli seems obviously Venice (I mean it’s in his name and everything), but my friend and I have been debating about Romano. Cause the show just says “the south,” and Spain ruled over Naples & Sicily, so I said Naples/Sicily/both. My friend said Rome/Papal States? I’m sure we both sound like clueless Americans but I wanted to hear what you think!

Hiya! Nice to have you back!

Okay so, embarrassingly, I actually typed out a really really long response to this question going over a bunch of history and how I reinterpret it into various headcanons (especially for Romano tbh). However, I don’t think I’ll post that right now because I want to take my time and do some extra research! I’m sorry if this is a disappointment, but there are a few things I want to wrap my head around still, and I want to make sure I express myself as clearly and concisely as possible. Especially since Italian history pre-unification is so long and convoluted, and my thoughts get very jumbled from this topic. There's so so much to take into consideration that I end up looking like this:

To sum up everything I think and headcanon at the moment: I think Veneziano used to be The Republic of Venice, while Romano used to be, in a way, both Sicily and Naples (and now you can see why my original post was starting to get pretty damn long).

In terms of the Papal States: I personally don't see Romano as the Papal States. I actually have my own OC that fills in this role. I understand the line of reasoning, though. In the same way you would characterize Veneziano as Venice, you'd want Romano to be Rome. But I personally like to have Romano's story deeply rooted in Southern Italian history and culture. I just can't imagine him any other way!

In the meantime I'll work on a more in-depth post, and hopefully it'll see the light of day. Hopefully TAT

And this,

This is why real life history or real life events shouldn't be used in fandom wars because you end up with posts that are not only borderline, but downright insulting to real life people, and real life memories of events that should not be used as "gotcha" point to prop pixels!

I know the Fodlan games have a tendency to blame the victims of aggression for "starting the war" by, uh, not offering their heads and lands on a platter when an invader asks for it, but it's a game made by people who wanted to make money and sell waifu merch in a gacha!

This? This thing????

I do not want to make any calls or assumptions about how education is organised in different countries because I don't have enough clues to make a well thought post, and it has never been that blog's purpose, but what the actual fuck?

Is Poster 1 thinking about an uchronia or a real world AU where, the real world nation that lost nearly 20% of its population, had around 90% of its jewish population exterminated, especially by an ordinate system of extermination in camps, that can still be visited today as a testimony of the worst humanity can offer -

Is Poster 1 saying "imagine an AU" where where Poland started the very real WW2??? To make a point about a video game and a bunch of pixels?

Who are the Holocaust deniers, Poster 2, the so-called Mooners or the dude(tte?) who goes "Real life AU : Imagine if Poland who saw 90% of its jewish population being exerminated started the WW2 lol"?

watching rogue one and saw gerrera saying "you can stand to see the Imperial flag reign across the galaxy?" reminded me of the telegram that sent by the first secretary (who was also georgian) of the TSFSR to Lenin and Stalin in 1921 after ussr occupied georgia.

"Moscow, Kremlin.

To Lenin, To Stalin.

On the top of Tbilisi, a red flag is waving.

Long live the Soviet Georgia."

It's so weird that we don't think about telegraph at all anymore. This obscure thing that had its roots in European visual military signal towers atop high hills in the 1790s is completely forgotten. And yet the wired electronic form is the one thing people used during the American Civil War that has the most to do with how we live now: you can send a message across the country quickly, largely via electrical pulses through wires. I mean, yes, smartphones are wireless now. But the towers and servers that make them possible are still connected by a lot of physical cable.

The wires and the style of messages have changed, but this is it. This is the ancient Internet. They were proto-texting troop movements to each-other like 20+ years before cars were even a theory. It just took 150 years to morph into what it is now.

The telegraph system was developed around the same time as trains, photography, audio recording, and modern germ theory / standards of hygiene. And it is foundational to what the Internet is. Yet people never include it in that group of transformational human technologies.

Fun fact: "wiretapping" comes from the telegraph. You could go to a telegraph line and tie your own wire to it, attached to a "tap," the switch that tapped out the message, and intercept it.

Also, big shout-out to the UK paper The Telegraph, which makes it fucking impossible to Google anything about the actual invention without what resembles AI art prompts.

It's not too late to send your Easter Greetings via Western Union Telegram!

This is an Easter themed blank telegram order form from 1938, with art by Norman Rockwell. It offers a variety of pre-written messages at a lower price. Recipients would receive their telegram on a similarly decorated blank form & envelope.
