The Soviet intervention in Hungary and the Khrushchev revelations produced in Europe a process that led – gradually – to the Eurocommunism of the Communist Party of Spain’s leader Santiago Carrillo, who said, in 1976, ‘once Moscow was our Rome, but no more. Now we acknowledge no guiding centre, no international discipline’. This was a communism that no longer believed in revolution but was quite satisfied with an evolutionary dynamic. The European parties, correct in their desire for the right to develop their own strategies and tactics, nonetheless, threw themselves onto a self-destructive path. Few remained standing after the USSR collapsed in 1991. They campaigned for polycentrism but, in the end, achieved only a return to social democracy.

Amongst the Third World communist parties, a different orientation became clear after 1956. While the Western European parties seemed eager to denigrate the USSR and its contributions, the parties in the Third World acknowledged the importance of the USSR but sought some distance from its political orientation. During their visits to Moscow in the 1960s, champions of ‘African socialism’ such as Modibo Keïta of Mali and Mamadou Dia of Senegal announced the necessity of non-alignment and the importance of nationally developed processes of socialist construction. Marshal Lin Biao spoke of the need for a ‘creative application’ of Marxism in the Chinese context. The young leader of the Indonesian Communist Party – Dipa Nusantara Aidit – moved his party towards a firm grounding in both Marxism-Leninism and the peculiarities of Indonesian history. [...]

In the Third World, where Communism was a dynamic movement, it was not treated as a religion that was incapable of error. ‘Socialism is young’, Che Guevara wrote in 1965, ‘and has its mistakes.’ Socialism required ceaseless criticism in order to strengthen it. Such an attitude was missing in Cold War Europe and North America [...] After 1956, Communism was penalized by the Cold Warriors for the Soviet intervention in Hungary. This played some role in the Third World, but it was not decisive. In India, in 1957 the Communists won an election in Kerala to become the ruling party in that state. In 1959, the Cuban revolution overthrew a dictatorship and adopted Marxism-Leninism as its general theory. In Vietnam, from 1954, the Communists took charge of the north of the country and valiantly fought to liberate the rest of their country. These were communist victories despite the intervention in Hungary.

[...]

Much the same history propelled the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) forward from 1951, when it had merely 5,000 members, to 1964, when it had two million party members and an additional fifteen million members in its mass organizations (half of them in the Indonesian Peasants’ Front). The party had deep roots in the heavily populated sections of east and central Java but had – in the decade after 1951 – begun to make gains in the outer islands, such as Sumatra. A viciously anti-communist military was unable to stop the growth of the party. The new leadership from the 1953 Party Central Committee meeting were all in their thirties, with the new Secretary General – Aidit – merely thirty-one years old. These communists were committed to mass struggles and to mass campaigns, to building up the party base in rural Indonesia. The Indonesian Peasants’ Front and the Plantation Workers’ Union – both PKI mass organizations – fought against forced labour (romusha) and encouraged land seizures (aksi sepihak). These campaigns became more and more radical. In February 1965, the Plantation Workers’ Union occupied land held by the US Rubber Company in North Sumatra. US Rubber and Goodyear Tires saw this as a direct threat to their interests in Indonesia. Such audacity would not be tolerated. Three multinational oil companies (Caltex, Stanvac and Shell) watched this with alarm. US diplomat George Ball wrote to US National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy that in ‘the long run’ events in Indonesia such as these land seizures ‘may be more important than South Vietnam’. Ball would know. He oversaw the 1963 coup in South Vietnam against the US ally Ngô Đình Diệm. The West felt it could not stand by as the PKI got more aggressive.

By 1965, the PKI had three million party members – adding a million members in the year. It had emerged as a serious political force in Indonesia, despite the anti-communist military’s attempts to squelch its growth. Membership in its mass organizations went up to 18 million. A strange incident – the killing of three generals in Jakarta – set off a massive campaign, helped along by the CIA and Australian intelligence, to excise the communists from Indonesia. Mass murder was the order of the day. The worst killings were in East Java and in Bali. Colonel Sarwo Edhie’s forces, for instance, trained militia squads to kill communists. ‘We gave them two or three days’ training,’ Sarwo Edhie told journalist John Hughes, ‘then sent them out to kill the communists.’ In East Java, one eyewitness recounted, the prisoners were forced to dig a grave, then ‘one by one, they were beaten with bamboo clubs, their throats slit, and they were pushed into the mass grave’. By the end of the massacre, a million Indonesian men and women of the left were sent to these graves. Many millions more were isolated, without work and friends. Aidit was arrested by Colonel Yasir Hadibroto, brought to Boyolali (in Central Java) and executed. He was 42.

There was no way for the world communist movement to protect their Indonesian comrades. The USSR’s reaction was tepid. The Chinese called it a ‘heinous and diabolical’ crime. But neither the USSR nor China could do anything. The United Nations stayed silent. The PKI had decided to take a path that was without the guns. Its cadre could not defend themselves. They were not able to fight the military and the anti-communist gangs. It was a bloodbath.

[...]

There was little mention in Havana of the Soviet Union. It had slowed down its support for national liberation movements, eager for detente and conciliation with the West by the mid-1960s. In 1963, Aidit had chastised the Soviets, saying, ‘Socialist states are not genuine if they fail to really give assistance to the national liberation struggle’. The reason why parties such as the PKI held fast to ‘Stalin’ was not because they defended the purges or collectivization in the USSR. It was because ‘Stalin’ in the debate around militancy had come to stand in for revolutionary idealism and for the anti-fascist struggle. Aidit had agreed that the Soviets could have any interpretation of Stalin in terms of domestic policy (‘criticize him, remove his remains from the mausoleum, rename Stalingrad’), but other Communist Parties had the right to assess his role on the international level. He was a ‘lighthouse’, Aidit said in 1961, whose work was ‘still useful to Eastern countries’. This was a statement against the conciliation towards imperialism of the Khrushchev era. It was a position shared across many of the Communist Parties of the Third World.

Many Communist parties, frustrated with the pace of change and with the brutality of the attacks on them, would take to the gun in this period – from Peru to the Philippines. The massacre in Indonesia hung heavily on the world communist movement. But this move to the gun had its limitations, for many of these parties would mistake the tactics of armed revolution for a strategy of violence. The violence worked most effectively the other way. The communists were massacred in Indonesia – as we have seen – and they were butchered in Iraq and Sudan, in Central Asia and South America. The image of communists being thrown from helicopters off the coast of Chile is far less known than any cliché about the USSR.

Borneo is the largest island in Asia, with a rich history and diverse ethnic groups such as Dayak, Malay, Bajau, Kedayan, Banjar, Kadazandusun and many more.

Borneo, a land blessed with wildlife and unparalleled natural beauty as well as abundant natural resources.

At an estimated 130 million years old, Borneo's rainforest is two times as old as the Amazon rainforest in South America.

Evidence for prehistoric human occupation of Borneo has been found at Neah Cave in Sarawak, including fossil bones, stone tools, and wall and ceiling paintings. Borneo is first mentioned in Ptolemy’s Guide to Geography of about 150 CE. Roman trade beads and Indo-Javanese artifacts have been discovered that give evidence of a flourishing civilization dating to the 2nd or 3rd century CE. Three rough foundation stones with an inscription recording a gift to a Brahman priest dated from the early 5th century, found at Kutai, provide evidence of a Hindu kingdom in eastern Kalimantan. Brahmanic and Buddhist images in the Gupta style have been found in the valleys of the Kapuas and other rivers in western Kalimantan. Later Kalimantan rulers were probably feudatories of the Majapahit empire of eastern Java (c. 1293–1520). With the arrival of Islam early in the 16th century, a number of Muslim kingdoms were founded, including the Banjarmasin, Sambas, Sukadana, and Landak. The Sukadana rulers owed allegiance to the Muslim Mataram kingdom of Java.

Modern European knowledge of Borneo dates from travelers who passed through Southeast Asia in the 14th century. The first recorded European visitor was the Franciscan friar Odoric of Pordenone, who visited Talamasim on his way from India to China in 1330. The Portuguese, followed by the Spanish, established trading relations on the island early in the 16th century. At the beginning of the 17th century the Portuguese and Spanish trade monopoly was broken by the Dutch, who, intervening in the affairs of the Muslim kingdoms, succeeded in replacing Mataram influence with their own. The coastal strip along the South China and Sulu seas was long oriented toward the Philippines to the northeast and was often raided by Sulu pirates. British interests, particularly in the north and west, diminished that of the Dutch. The Brunei sultanate was an Islamic kingdom that at one time had controlled the whole island but by the 19th century ruled only in the north and northwest. In 1841 Sarawak was split away on the southwest, becoming an independent kingdom ruled by the Brooke Raj. North Borneo (later Sabah) to the northeast was obtained by a British company to promote trade and suppress piracy, but it was not demarcated until 1912. Those losses left a much-reduced Brunei, which became a British protectorate in 1888.

During World War II the Japanese invasions of Borneo (1941–42) quickly eliminated the token British and Dutch forces on the island, which was not retaken until 1945. In July 1946 both Sarawak and North Borneo were made British crown colonies. In Dutch Borneo a strong nationalist sentiment developed and led to fighting between Indonesian and Dutch forces as the latter attempted to reimpose Netherlands control. Sovereignty passed to the Indonesians in 1949, and in 1950 a new constitution proclaimed Dutch Borneo part of the Republic of Indonesia.

The British government relinquished its sovereignty over Sabah and Sarawak in 1963, when those territories joined the Malaysian federation. That marked the commencement of Indonesian hostilities in the form of guerrilla raids across the border. Those raids ceased by agreement in 1966. Except for the period of Japanese occupation, Brunei remained a British protectorate until 1983. It became fully independent on January 1, 1984.

King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa

King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa

In the late 1890s, Edmund Dene Morel, a young British shipping company agent, noticed something strange about the cargoes of his company's ships as they arrived from and departed for the Congo, Leopold II's vast new African colony. Incoming ships were crammed with valuable ivory and rubber. Outbound ships carried little more than soldiers and firearms.

Correctly concluding that only slave labor on a vast scale could account for these cargoes, Morel resigned from his company and almost singlehandedly made Leopold's slave-labor regime the premier human rights story in the world. Thousands of people packed hundreds of meetings throughout the United States and Europe to learn about Congo atrocities. Two courageous black Americans - George Washington Williams and William Sheppard - risked much to bring evidence to the outside world. Roger Casement, later hanged by Britain as a traitor, conducted an eye-opening investigation of the Congo River stations.

Sailing into the middle of the story was a young steamboat officer named Joseph Conrad. And looming over all was Leopold II, King of the Belgians, sole owner of the only private colony in the world.

Reviewer Comment:

This is a tragic history of the Belgian Congo at the turn of the 19th century as the Scramble for Africa began. Adam Hochschild is an American writer and journalist for the New Yorker, NY Times, NY Review of Books and Times Literary Supplement. His work has combined history with human rights advocacy. The events in this book are a shameful chapter in the era of colonialism, of which there were many. It is portrait of Leopold likely to inspire loathing in any who reads it. Beside an account of a colony, it archives the lives of activists who fought to free it. In 1482 Portuguese sailors braved the ocean beyond the Canary Islands and discovered a fresh water flow off the coast of Central Africa. Following a silt trail, fighting a fast current, they found the mouth of a vast river. Nine years later priests and emissaries arrived and began the first European settlement in a black African kingdom. Small scale slavery existed but a booming slave trade developed with the Americas to grow cotton and cane. During the 19th century slavery was abolished in Britain and America yet continued in Afro-Arab commerce. Leopold II (1835-1909) was the King of the Belgians and obsessed with obtaining colonies. He studied records of conquistadores in Seville, sailed to India, Ceylon, Burma and Java noting lucrative concerns. Plantations depended on forced labor to lift profits and civilize the lazy natives. He looked at land in Brazil, Argentina, Phillipines and Taiwan. Frustrated in these attempts he focused his sights on Africa. Humanitarian pretenses of freeing Africa from slavery and bringing enlightenment to the Dark Continent disguised his dreams of ivory and rubber.

Henry Morton Stanley led a Dickensonian life. Abandoned to a poorhouse as a child he sailed to America and became a soldier in the Civil War, first for the Confederacy and then for the Union. He became a newspaper correspondent and tracked down explorer David Livingstone during his search for the source of the Nile. Returning to Africa in 1874 to map the waterways of the interior he discovered the source of the Congo River. Upon reaching the Atlantic he was hired by Leopold to establish trading posts and railroads and force tribal leaders to cede land. King Leopold and an American ambassador formed fake philanthropic associations for evangelism and scientific study of the region. In 1884 he lobbied the US to recognize the Congo Free State, in reality a colony owned by himself. Post-Civil War politicians were interested in sending freed slaves back to Africa. The area annexed was as large as the land east of the Mississippi while Belgium was half the size of West Virginia. In diplomatic deals France and Germany fell into line and Britain became invested. The challenge was to carry steamboats over the falls. By 1890 trading stations had been secured. Elephants were hunted by conscripted natives or their ivory simply seized. Vacant land was leased to private companies with shares of the profit retained. Legions of Africans were used as porters through jungles chained by the neck. So many were needed agents began to purchase them from the slave traders they purported to abolish. Security officers of the Free State were Europeans, half from Belgium, with soldiers drawn from the Congo. They chose to join the conquerors, their spears and muskets no match for machine guns. Leopold's agents set up orphanages run by Catholic missions to train future troops. Captured women were kept in harems by agents or held hostage to coerce their men to harvest rubber. Discipline was enforced with the whip and counted in severed hands of dead rebels. To exact penalties entire villages were often burned down. The human toll over a quarter century is not known for certain but is estimated at 10 million, or half of the population. The causes included murder, starvation and disease (due to inhuman working conditions) and lowered birth rates. Joseph Conrad was briefly a steamboat pilot on the Congo, his novel 'Heart of Darkness' a depiction of what he saw. Displays of decapitated heads were not only a metaphorical critique of colonialism. Black Americans G.W. Williams, a polymath, and W.H. Sheppard, a missionary, exposed the conditions in 1890. Few voices of natives were recorded but are included where possible. In 1898 British shipping clerk E. D. Morel and Irish diplomat R. Casement suspected forced labor and began campaigns. Mark Twain and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote exposés on Leopold. As opinion turned Leopold waged propaganda wars. Self-appointed commission reports criticized his regime. The only option was to sell Congo to Belgium; self rule was unthinkable. In 1908 Leopold was given a billion dollar bonus and billions remained in his name. Wild rubber was replaced with farms. Atrocities declined but forced labor persisted. Head taxes kept people in plantations and mines before independence in 1960. PM Lumumba, seen as hostile to business, was shot with Belgian and US assistance and replaced by kleptocrat Mobuto until 1997.

Top Software Development Skills to Master in 2025 (USA, UK, and Europe)

As the tech landscape evolves rapidly across global hubs like the USA, UK, and Europe, developers are under increasing pressure to stay ahead of the curve. Businesses demand more efficient, scalable, and secure digital solutions than ever before. At the core of this transformation is the growing need for custom software development services, which empower companies to create tailored solutions for unique challenges. To thrive in 2025, developers must equip themselves with a set of advanced skills that align with market demands and emerging technologies. Let’s explore the top software development skills professionals should focus on mastering.

1. Proficiency in AI and Machine Learning

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are no longer niche skills—they’re now essential. In the USA and the UK, AI is being heavily integrated into industries like healthcare, finance, retail, and cybersecurity. Developers who understand ML algorithms, neural networks, and AI model deployment will have a competitive edge.

Mastering platforms like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and tools for natural language processing (NLP) will become increasingly important. European companies are also investing heavily in ethical AI and transparency, so familiarity with responsible AI practices is a plus.

2. Cloud-Native Development

Cloud platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud dominate the tech infrastructure space. Developers must understand how to build, deploy, and maintain cloud-native applications to remain relevant.

In the UK and Germany, hybrid cloud adoption is growing, and in the USA, multi-cloud strategies are becoming standard. Learning serverless computing (e.g., AWS Lambda), containerization with Docker, and orchestration with Kubernetes will be vital for delivering scalable software solutions in 2025.

3. Full-Stack Web Development

The demand for versatile developers continues to grow. In Europe and the USA, companies are seeking professionals who can work across both frontend and backend stacks. Popular frameworks and technologies include:

Frontend: React.js, Vue.js, Svelte

Backend: Node.js, Python (Django/FastAPI), Java (Spring Boot), Ruby on Rails

A deep understanding of APIs, authentication methods (OAuth 2.0, JWT), and performance optimization is also crucial for delivering a seamless user experience.

4. Cybersecurity Knowledge

With the rise in data breaches and stricter regulations like GDPR and CCPA, secure coding practices have become non-negotiable. In 2025, developers must be well-versed in threat modeling, secure APIs, and encryption protocols.

The demand for developers who can write secure code and integrate security into every stage of the development lifecycle (DevSecOps) is particularly high in financial and governmental institutions across Europe and North America.

5. DevOps and CI/CD Expertise

Modern development is no longer just about writing code—it’s about delivering it efficiently and reliably. DevOps practices bridge the gap between development and operations, enabling continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD).

Familiarity with tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, and Ansible is critical. In the USA and UK, these practices are embedded in most agile development workflows. Europe is also seeing a surge in demand for DevOps engineers with scripting and automation expertise.

6. Low-Code and No-Code Platforms

Low-code and no-code development are growing rapidly, especially among startups and SMEs across the UK, Netherlands, and Germany. While they don’t replace traditional coding, these platforms enable rapid prototyping and MVP development.

Developers who can integrate custom code with low-code platforms (like OutSystems, Mendix, and Microsoft Power Apps) will be highly valuable to businesses looking for quick yet flexible digital solutions.

7. Soft Skills and Cross-Cultural Collaboration

With more companies embracing remote work and distributed teams, communication and collaboration skills are becoming as important as technical expertise. Developers in global tech markets like the USA, UK, and France must be able to work effectively across time zones and cultures.

Fluency in English is often a baseline, but understanding team dynamics, empathy in problem-solving, and the ability to communicate technical ideas to non-technical stakeholders are key differentiators in today’s job market.

8. Domain Knowledge and Industry Focus

Lastly, developers who pair technical skills with domain expertise—whether in finance, health tech, logistics, or sustainability—are becoming increasingly sought-after. For example, fintech innovation is booming in London and Frankfurt, while sustainability-focused tech is on the rise in the Netherlands and Scandinavia.

Understanding regulatory environments, business logic, and customer needs within a specific sector will help developers create more impactful solutions.

Conclusion

The future of software development is shaped by flexibility, innovation, and specialization. Developers aiming to succeed in the fast-paced tech ecosystems of the USA, UK, and Europe must invest in these evolving skillsets to remain competitive and future-proof their careers.

For organizations looking to turn ideas into reality, partnering with a trusted software development company can bridge the gap between technical complexity and business goals—especially when those developers are fluent in the languages, technologies, and trends that will define the next decade.

Mobile App Development: Which Platform is Better—Android or iOS?

In today’s digital age, mobile app development has become a vital part of business growth. But the biggest question is — Android or iOS, which platform is better? Both have their own advantages and limitations, and the right choice depends on your target audience, budget, and business model. Let’s compare the two.

1. Market Share and User Base

✅ Android: Largest user base worldwide, especially in Asia, Africa, and South America. With smartphones available in various budgets, it can target every type of user.

✅ iOS: Mainly popular among premium users, especially in the US, Europe, and Australia. iOS users are generally more spendthrift, which leads to better prospects for paid apps and in-app purchases.

📌 If your focus is to reach a larger number of users, Android is the better choice. 📌 If you want to target high-end and high-paying users, iOS will be suitable.

— -

2. Development time and cost ✅ Android:

Development takes more time and cost due to supporting different devices and screen sizes.

Languages ​​like Java and Kotlin are used for coding.

✅ iOS:

Development is faster and easier due to limited devices.

Developers have to learn Swift and Objective-C.

📌 If you have limited budget and time, iOS may be better.

📌 If you want to cover more devices, choose Android.

3. Monetization and Revenue Model

✅ Android:

Most apps generate revenue from ads (AdMob, Facebook Ads).

Users prefer free apps, so earnings from in-app purchases are limited.

✅ iOS: iOS users spend more on paid apps and in-app purchases.

Subscription-based models are more successful on iOS.

📌 If your revenue model is ad-based, Android is better.

📌 If you want to earn from paid apps and premium subscriptions, iOS is the right choice.

4. Security and Updates

✅ Android:

Being an open-source platform, there are more challenges regarding security.

It takes time for all users to get updates due to different devices and companies.

✅ iOS:

Apple’s closed ecosystem is more secure.

All iOS devices receive timely updates, which keeps security strong.

📌 If your priority is security and regular updates, then iOS is better.

Tea & Geography

(An etymology of tea)

This is a topic that I personally find fascinating and don't think is talked about enough. Do you know that what your region call tea can tell us a lot about trade and geography?

Disclaimer! I am no expert in linguistics, history (this blog is called 'Your Local Novice Historian' for a reason), or even a Chinese speaker. I'm just quoting various sources and an edited version of the Wikipedia article Etymology of tea (Yes I am aware Wikipedia is not the most reliable resource and did skim the citations wherever possible. I am simply using the text as it helps present this information in an easily understandable and coherent way; something I myself don't have much time to dedicate to currently). I welcome corrections.

With that out of the way, let's begin!

Nearly all of the words for tea worldwide originate from Chinese pronunciations of the word 茶, and they fall into three broad groups: te, cha and chai, present in English as tea, cha or char, and chai.

Different Chinese regions had different pronunciations for it which are believed to have arisen from the same root, that diverged due to sound changes through the centuries. The written form of the Chinese word for tea was created in the mid-Tang dynasty by modifying the character 荼 pronounced tu, meaning a "bitter vegetable". Tu was used to refer to a variety of plants in ancient China, and acquired the additional meaning of "tea" by the Han dynasty. The Chinese word for tea was likely ultimately derived from the non-Sinitic languages of the botanical homeland of the tea plant in southwest China (or Burma), possibly from an archaic Austro-Asiatic root word *la, meaning "leaf".

The different words for tea fall into two main groups: "te-derived" (Min) and "cha-derived" (Cantonese and Mandarin).

Global regions with a history of land trade with central regions of Imperial China (often through the Silk Road) pronounce it along the lines of 'cha'. Some examples are North Asia, Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East.

Meanwhile, most global maritime regions with a history of sea trade with certain southeast regions of Imperial China (such as Europe), pronounce it like 'teh'.

So the words that various languages use for "tea" reveal where those nations first acquired their tea and tea culture. For example:

Portuguese traders were the first Europeans to import the herb in large amounts. The Portuguese borrowed their word for tea (chá) from Cantonese in the 1550s via their trading posts in the south of China, especially Macau.

In Central Asia, Mandarin cha developed into Persian chay, and this form spread with Central Asian trade and cultural influence.

The Dutch word for "tea" (thee) comes from Min Chinese. The Dutch may have borrowed their word for tea through trade directly from Fujian or Formosa, or from Malay traders in Java who had adopted the Min pronunciation as teh. The Dutch first imported tea around 1606 from Macao via Bantam, Java, and played a dominant role in the early European tea trade through the Dutch East India Company, influencing other European languages, including English, French (thé), Spanish (té), and German (Tee).

While the Dutch may have first introduced tea to England in 1644, by the 19th century, most British tea was purchased directly from merchants in Canton, whose population used cha. The English kept its Dutch-derived Min word for tea, but char is sometimes used colloquially to refer to the drink in British English. This phenomenon does not just exist in British English though, as sometimes, a te form will follow a cha form, or vice versa, giving rise to both in one language, at times one an imported variant of the other:

In North America, the word chai is used to refer almost exclusively to the Indian masala chai (spiced tea) beverage, in contrast to tea itself.

The inverse pattern is seen in Moroccan Arabic where, shay means "generic, or black Middle Eastern tea" whereas atay refers particularly to Zhejiang or Fujian green tea with fresh mint leaves. The Moroccans are said to have acquired this taste for green tea—unique in the Arab world— from British exports in the 19th century.

The Polish word for a tea-kettle is czajnik, which comes from the Russian word Чай (pronounced chai). However, tea in Polish is herbata, which, as well as Belarusian гарба́та (harbáta) and Lithuanian arbata, was derived from the Dutch herba thee, although a minority believes that it was derived Latin herba thea, meaning "tea herb."

In Ireland, or at least in Dublin, the term cha is sometimes used for "tea," as is pre-vowel-shift pronunciation "tay" (from which the Irish Gaelic word tae is derived). Char was a common slang term for tea throughout British Empire and Commonwealth military forces in the 19th and 20th centuries, crossing over into civilian usage.

This is just the tip of the iceberg and I strongly encourage you all to go research this more. The Wikipedia article has some truly fascinating tables listing the various derivatives and what cultures they belong too, along with plenty of citations you can use as a jumping off point for more research if you wish.
