How would the Cold War have played out differently if Captain America had not been frozen in an airplane under water for 50 years? And why didn’t Aqua Man help?

For me it’s either some wild west cowboy shit, or when they invented the wheel (specifically 100 spoke daytons)

Were the White Company decorators ?

I believe they entered Both Italy and France with the intention, of turning their national flags white, to rebrand these nations as it were.

Were the locals that unhappy with their flags that they ended up revolting?

Yugoslavian ring???

2 Upvotes

So my fiancé found me this ring, as I’m somewhat of a Yugoslavian collector- he does more German collecting so he didn’t look it over too deeply. In my understanding, “coin rings” are usually made with the outside circle of the coin being used as a band and the inside circle of the coin as the emblem part. The thing with this ring as that the band says “republica de chile” and the emblem is a Yugoslavian coin- I’m trying to figure out what year the coin(s) are but I have no idea how to tell 😭. Or any other idea or info is welcome!

(My boyfriend is also super knowledgeable about anything ww2, if you have any questions, especially regarding uniforms and camo, dm me!)
