    I don't think anybody mentioned the second Congolese Civil War. It killed 5 million people and counting but yet I never hear anything about it.

    Mine's the Russian revolution, in that most people don't know that the West (America, Britain, France), and we were there for several years. No wonder the Communists didn't trust the U.S. Just google the American Expeditionary Force Siberia.

    I think the nukes surrounding their country was the main reason for the distrust.

    No, no it's fine. I was kind of vague there any way. Plus, later on, that (Nukes in Turkey) was the main reason for their distrust, along with Lenin's prediction.

    Mine's not very good either. I just remember learning this, and thinking why haven't we heard of this more?

    We Americans prefer to pretend that the Russians had no real reasons to distrust us.
