Historical Similarities in the Games to Real Life?

Has any one else noticed how the Turks are alot like the SS in Germany in real life? Aeris describes them as being heartless and doing dirty jobs like kidnapping and murder? i think Square Soft gets some of there story lines from our Histroy?
Has anyone else picked up on anything else like that?

Yeah, the Turks did remind me a bit of Nazis... Hmm. Maybe they could be like a corrupt intelligence agency, like a lot of countries have? (Good example- FBI)

Exactly.
Thank to this thread now I'm actually doing some thinking here...

How about the fact that mako reactors resemble our own nuclear reactors, plus the dangers associated with them.
And I totally agree with Nazi thing. That's a good point.
I'll try to think of some more later.

Don't forget the knights of the round; in relevance to King Arthur!

yeah and the Shinra kind've represent a corrupt form of government, hungry for power. Midgar seems to be the only advanced city in the game (sorta like the US or another big country) and a lot of the other cities seem less advanced (look at the early difference between Midgar and Kalm.) it seems to represent our world today where you've got a few big powers in charge and a lot of the others are just sorta left on their own

To that I say none.

How 'bout the cannons in Junon and Midgar. Since we're in this WWII context I associated those with 'Big Bertha' and the other German rail guns at the time. Extremely long range and devastating power.
