Your capacity to make history alive is remarquable . You are the light on our passed and the light to understand our present. When you know when you are from , you know where you go .

I'm from Guernsey 🇬🇬 and I've only ever known them as Martello towers.

That would have been the world's most boring assignment, but better than getting your ass kicked at Yorktown

One is built on a small island near Guernesey. The rocky island is called the Bréhon Rock and the tower is called after it.

I wonder what the connection between these loopholes and the ones we use with agreements.

There is a story about the swedish army conquering 2/13 russian "keeps". They didn't put any troops in, so the russian army ran back in and repossessed them. Duh... Another time a guy gave up his life to conquer a tower (Bohus fortress, see Risk GD online) The tower, and the fortress was negotiated back to its original country within 15 years.
