If they could win what would they have to do. And what would happen if they won. Would they expand to take over the whole world?
>If they could win what would they have to do
hitler pretty much assumed that Churchill preferred him over stalin
>And what would happen if they won
probably alot less globalism, more potent culture in the world and higher standards of living in the top countries
>Would they expand to take over the whole world?
lol

>what would they have to do
Not occupy France
Not antagonize the Soviets
Not try to invade Britain
Not try to turn the whole world against potential enemies
Not force the Allies into a position where they had to keep fighting
Not ally Italy
There were a lot of fuck-ups, but I'd say Barbarossa and declaring war on the US were two of the biggest.
ALRIGHT! Lets get some byzantine history cooking in here. I shall start
Edward Gibbons is a dick.

im pretty sure heraclius eventually kicked there asses at one point.
Are all wars pretty much destined for one side to win from the very beginning? Like it seems in retrospect that every loser in every war had literally no chance of ever winning.
Was there ever a war where everyone expected one side to win and then they got they lost? I know for example that everyone thought the south would lose the war in like a month and they would just give up after getting their asses kicked in one battle, but the war dragged on for 5 years and the south was actually winning at the start

The French Revolutionary Wars come to mind
Also the Teutonic Wars
Hindsight is 20/20.

Russo-Japanese War
Soviet-Polish War
Winter War (arguable)
First Chechen War
How did the Russian Revolution really happen?
How did the Mensheviks and Bolsheviks differ? I've heard that the Mensheviks were more intellectual and anti-authoritarian, and not anti-Semitic like the Bolsheviks were.
Why was it true that the Mensheviks were winning before the Bolsheviks started murdering Menshevik leaders?
Why did the Whites/Royalists lose so badly even with American military support? Why was the US so set on preserving the oppressive Tsarist government?

Socialism is possible by evolving naturally; however first the population has to become prosperous enough

Socialism is only possible via social revolution

Nigga what, a lot of the leading cadres of the Bolsheviks were jews.

The whites weren't Royalists, the whites were anti-Blosheviks, for a time it even included leftists,...

An un noteworthy force maybe, but it sent a tgousand or so.
Is it true the spaniards were peaceful settlers who wanted to trade with mutual respect but they were met with violent savagery by the native americans?
>>318222
Mostly, yes. But the natives attacked them because they settled and took over their territory
The Spaniards were better than the English as conquerors.
See how many Latin Americans are descended from Amerindians. Now see how many Anglo Americans are descendants of Amerindians.
>>318788
Uhh wouldn't that make the English better conquerors?

The non-aggression principle doesn't work because society is built on the threat of violence.
Which German army was more powerful for it's time?
Imperial German Army of WW1 or Wehrmacht of WW2?
>>318093
WW1, its not even close really
Ww2, if you count. 1939m although by 1945 most of their tech was stolen, they still where far ahead using thr v2, stg44, and jet fighters.

How do you live your life? By some rules, no doubt, respecting some ideals.
You're welcome.
>>318033
Lots of people have preconceived ideals. You don't need philosophy for that.
>>318037
Ideals aren't philosophy?
Why do humanists barely use mathematical models?
>>317967
For what purpose?
Humanities are full of people from the "I hate math" crowd i.e. they are too dumb for logical and rigorous thinking.
>>317980
This. I've yet to see a single philosopher who's done anything for logic or mathematics.
What do you guys think about Dan Carlin? I'm listening to his podcast on the fall of the Roman Empire atm.
Go to bed Dan
Time for the daily HH thread, is it? We like him. Listen to the rest of his stuff, especially Blueprint for Armageddon.

What do you think about this guy and his research? Do you think his summary of Islamic history is accurate? Are his conclusions correct?
>>317799
Stop posting that stupid shit. It's obvious you already agree with him and will spend this thread defending.
But no, he talks shit, his summary of Islamic history is completely wrong and so are his conclusions. He's an incredibly biased hate preacher spreading fear of Islam to make money off gullible Americans.
>>317799
This is like the fourth time we've had this thread. Is it gong to become the new 'Christian Dark Ages map' meme?
But no, it's not great research if you're looking for something that'll stand up to a historian's scrutiny. His accuracy can't be judged because he doesn't offer any data on any of the dots for criticism, doesn't explain why he compares 'Muslim Conquest Battles' with only 'Crusade Battles' and not 'Christian Conquest Battles',...

I have said it before, what a shitty map.
So what's the deal with Holodomor? Was it an ethnic cleansing of Ukrainians by the Russians?
>>317723
>Was it an ethnic cleansing of Ukrainians by the Russians?
Probably. It's impossible to prove whether it was on purpose or if the scale of it was intended, so Vatniks will be posting >PROOFS in this thread, but the measures set up by the government most likely caused the famine.
No. Essentially why it looks that way is because people were pumping out inflated reports of the amount of wheat, because they were scared Stalin would replace them with another supervisor if they didn't. Then famine hit, there wasn't enough to go around, but on paper there was, and rather than anyone, including Stalin, admitting his error (pretty bad when Stalin was tooting his horn about how great everything was going), they just said people are stealing or withholding the wheat and so on.
The famine was actually no something unprecedented in Russia, it just had a much larger population to go with it this time, and people were focusing more on it because we look at the communist system as accountable for it (either that, or Stalin's cruelty), but in actuality it wasn't, it's just that the communist system didn't help things as much as was predicted at all.
>>317723
>Russians
You mean Jews, and it coincided with the ethnic cleansing of the Armenians.
why are people on the internet so obsessed with the ethnicity of the pharaohs?
WUZ
Everybody loves Egypt for some reason and to claim you are an ancestor of them might be thrilling for "muh heritage" Americans and others. A lot of people are just tired of afrocentric and eurocentric arguements without proof though.
