North America 162 years ago today: Bleeding Kansas (06 Dec 1855) http://omniatlas.com/maps/northamerica/18551206/ In 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska Act created the new territories of Kansas and Nebraska, opening them up for settlement and granting them the right to choose whether or not to allow slavery through popular vote. The result was an influx of pro- and anti-slavery elements into Kansas in a bid to determine which way the vote would go, with both sides often resorting to violence. The dispute would not be resolved until 1859, when a final referendum confirmed Kansas' status as a free state. #northamerica #history #welovemaps #1850s #1855 #americanhistory #canadianhistory #confederacy #costarica #cuba #december #december6 #japan #kansas #maps #mexicanhistory #mexico #missouri #nebraska #nezperce #nicaragua #oklahoma #spain #unitedstates #washington #williamwalker (at Lawrence, Kansas)

East Asia 76 years ago today: Eve of Pearl Harbor (06 Dec 1941) http://omniatlas.com/maps/eastasia/19411206/ Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June, but Japan declined to join her ally, resolving instead to occupy the rest of French Indochina. The United States and Britain responded by freezing Japanese assets and stopping oil exports. Without oil, Japan faced the choice of either withdrawing from China or invading the oil-rich East Indies and further provoking the US. By December, Japan had made its decision, mobilizing its fleet for a surprise strike on the US navy. #eastasia #history #welovemaps #1940s #1941 #belarus #cambodia #china #chinesecivilwar #chinesehistory #december #december6 #france #germany #greatbritain #hawaii #indochina #japan #japanesehistory #laos #maps #russia #secondsinojapanesewar #southvietnam #thailand #ukraine #unitedstates #pearlharbor #pacificwar #ww2 (at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii)
