Who invented the noose?

The noose, as a type of knot, does not have a single inventor, as it has been used in various forms across different cultures for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times, with various types of knots being utilized for fishing, hunting, and other practical purposes. The specific design known as the hangman's noose became associated with executions in medieval Europe, but it evolved from earlier knot-tying practices. Overall, the noose is a product of collective human ingenuity rather than the invention of a single individual.


Why do historians say that the US won the war but lost the peace?

Is this in reference to WWII? If so, clearly the USA won almost nothing fighting Germany in the European theatre. The British supposedly got involved in attacking Germany in order to free Poland from foreign domination. However, by backing the Soviets, the British and Americans got a replacement regime about as bad as the Nazis, perhaps worse. Yes, Britain and America liberated France/Belgium and about half of Germany from tyranny, but the only reason France/Belgium were occupied to begin with was the Polish issue. Germany itself, as a people, neither required nor desired 'liberation'. To top it off, the concessions so quickly granted the Soviets resulted in a massive dictatorial empire ruling the Balkans for fifty years. Soviet expansion into the middle east and Africa also followed. In the Far East things could hardly have gone worse for the Americans. Again, the Americans got into the war to protect China from Japan. (Japan only attacked American possessions in 1941 in order to hobble the USA which was enforcing economic sanctions against Japan over the China issue). Ultimately the USA did completely crush the Japanese and all of their empire was re-distributed. But who benefited? By crushing the Japanese home islands, the Americans enabled to Soviets to easily defeat the Japanese armies in China. The vast arms so captured were given to the despotic tyrant, Mao, who used them to overrun the entire Chinese mainland. Probably the greatest slaughter of humanity in all history ensued from this takeover. China became an overt enemy of the USA that has only in very recent history begun to partially warm to America. The takeover of China led immediately to a Soviet inspired invasion of Korea, another x-colony of Japan. The USA had to step in and suffer massive casualties just to ensure freedom for half of that nation, with an occupation that continues sixty years later. Further south the results were just as bad. The Japanese were thrust out of Indochina, resulting in the French attempting to re-establish their control. A bloodly civil war ensued which ultimatly brought in the American army. Vast casualties and incalculable treasure was lost fighting this war, basically an extention of a colonial war. The USA still reels when confronted with similar situations. Thus, while American arms were everywhere successful, the peace was won by more deft political manuevering of the Soviets who expanded their empire over China, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, half of Germany, and Cuba. The USA was left defending a slice of Germany and the Japanese home islands, where substantial American forces remain to this day. So inept was American political posturing at this time that all thought of victory vanished and a simple policy of 'containment' ensued. This ethically bankrupt policy continued until President Reagan came to power in the 1980s and quickly cut the Gordian knot put together by Roosevelt/Truman/Eisenhower/LBJ/Carter and company.

How do you make a half granny knot?

The Granny Knot, also known as a Thief's Knot, results from a second step after making an Overhand Knot. The Granny Knot is simply the improper completion of what would otherwise be a Square Knot. The first half of this is properly referred to as an Overhand Knot, but is also called a Thumb Knot and a Common Knot. So, what you have really asked is how to make an Overhand Knot. This is formed by taking one free end of a line and going once around the same line (often at the other end of the line) and pulling taut. This is the first action done with a shoelace when tying shoes. This knot is not properly called a half granny knot, but should be called an Overhand Knot.
