Did he fix Spain or did he ruin it further?
>>306113
ruin it obviously
whoever thinks otherwise is an idiot

>Implying Spain would be better off as a Soviet puppet state
Franco stopped the mass murders of middle class people, the clergy, and political conservatives.
His economic policies right after the war were foolish, but his implementation of a more open economy resulted in an economic boom for Spain
>>306141
>a Soviet puppet state
the republic was a democracy, never a communist state. Political conservatives ruled the country for two years (CEDA), until there were new elections. The people of Spain voted for the Republic and elected its leaders until the military intervened and stripped off the people's freedoms. Please go back to /pol/.
Why has Britain (and the city of London) historically been associated with international financial manipulation in the minds of Americans and other Europeans. Is there any truth to the idea that the UK exploits the rest of the world through financial means? If not, why do people believe this?
Britain being island jews pitting the continentals against each other is an age old thing. And London being the oldest of the great economic centres of the world sure does lend it credibility.
Because people believe some bullshit chivalrous notion that dominating others through force is more "honourable" than dominating them through financial means. If muh anglos had put their puppets on thrones across europe through economic means that would be bad, napoleon doing it through violent conquest is good.

Does anyone else here immensely enjoy haplogroups and population genetics?
There have been many times when I find that some ancient piece of text refers to a people related to others which is confirmed by haplogroups.
>>306084
where does this map comes from? are there any further indications? I'd like to know the haplogroup of my zone.
to answer your question: I love this kind of studies, I've read som Cavalli-Sforza, but I hate when /pol/tards use it to support some wacky racist theory. If it is done seriously, it is a great field of studies
Is this Carthaginian legacy in Tunis? And why South Italy differs so much from North Italy?

He's definitely the most successful that's lived in our lifetime at least.

Even if you're a nazi you should disagree since his failure pushed Germany in the completely opposite direction and the war ended with Germany literally getting raped and partitioned.

Has familial closeness always been a part of humanity or is family just a marketing gimmick invented to fuel another capitalist money grab?

Families were closer before the invention of modern electronic technology and entertainment mediums.

I just find that amazing.
I have nieces and nephews living in the same town I have met maybe three times. I don't think they know my name

You do know the first fucking societies in the world was the family unit right?
Like people are already "racist" to you because you're from another clan village back in the real early days.
Sup /his/, something different for a change: any fans of legal history here?
For the past week I've been working on an essay on the czech legal history and I have to say, it's a fascinating new perspective on history.
Unfortunately there is this gigantic circlejerk of every author here on the continent of

The fucking french made an awesome civil code, so the germans of course made theirs way too technical. Meanwhile, you got the british hanging on to their 'fuck any systematic law' attitute.

Can we discuss Krtek history instead? He's way more based that some law garbage.
why didn't we (by we, the americans) forcibly integrate the native americans instead of pushing them off more and more of their land?
>>305436
Because Anglos.
Spaniards integrated their subject Natives.
I don't know their thought process, but, I think that they thought of it as too much of a hassle and them as too much of a threat.
Or Anglos.
>>305436
Because you can't forcibly integrate people, it's literally impossible.

what's your take on it senpai?
This AGAIN?
It's not a bad book, especially as an introduction to this sort of thing, but it attributes way too much to geography when there are certainly other factors that contribute to the success of certain civilizations. It also fails to address some of the more obvious criticisms.
What did the Celts actually believe? I've read several times that they weren't truly polytheistic and instead were animists, is this some crazy fringe theory or is it legit?
Mainly neo-platonists
>>305117
Their Gods usually could morph into animals, but they weren't animists.
Heck, they weren't even that polytheistic, since the commonly recorded Keltoi "Gods" (Children of Danu) were more akin to elves who were just really powerful, but gave up the ghost when humans (Celts) decided to mosey on through, so they receded into the world and became Fae.
Danu was the progenitor of them, and The Dagda was closer to the Christian belief of God, but still more happily interactive with the Children of...

Can any other Christians rate and comment om the prayer I just wrote.
In the Holy Spirit, Son of God, and the Supreme Father,
Until I feel love of God, I go to God.
By practicing Generosity and so forth,
In order to benefit beings, may I feel love of God.
Lord, unmarred by imperfection, body white in color,
whose head is ornamented with a perfect light,
gazing on beings with the eye of love,
to God I reverently pray.
On the crown of my head and the heads of all beings filling space,
Upon a white cloud and moon disk, is the word of GOD.

This is how gay I felt when I read your prayer. Also Jesus was black, or at least brown, not luminescent white.

Here's the real deal senpai, is this just a fancy-worded prayer, or actual connection?
I recently stumbles upon the theory of Euhemerism.
Basically, its the idea that what we consider myths all have some sort of historical basis that was misconstrued and exaggerated through time.
Any thoughts or examples?
Obviously.

The Illiad could be an example throughout history people thought the book was the legit truth. Even the whole invincible Achilles thing. Then people tried to use an actual historic viewpoint and interpret the Illiad. The reality was more boring.
I read a book by Egyptologist Alexandre Moret once where he reconstructs a history of prehistoric Egypt based on combining Egyptian mythology with archeological elements.
Was pretty interesting, hard to say how true but it certainly made sensr.
What happened to Wolfshiem's Catholic Thread? He hasn't had one in weeks. Although I don't have the material to dump that Wolfshiem had, I guess we might as well have a Catholic Thread.

Will nobody post?
So the standard story when it comes to WW1 was that older tactics had become obsolete in the face of new technologies like barbed wire and machine guns, and so entrenched defenses became very difficult to break through. But how true was that? Was it just that defense was much easier and better than offense, meaning that attacks from both sides would be repelled continuously? Just how much of a stalemate was the Western Front?
Defending a trench with a machine gun would just come down to mowing down lines of people as they were charging you. You wouldn't even have to aim: just load up the gun and spray side to side. This made defending much more preferable, hence the stalemate.
I believe a majority of deaths though still ended up being caused by diseases spreading through the trenches.

>But how true was that
Not really that true.
>Was it just that defense was much easier and better than offense, meaning that attacks from both sides would be repelled continuously? Just how much of a stalemate was the Western Front?
It was pretty stalemated, but for different reasons than pop history will tell you.
Consider: battles like Verdun, the Somme, or Artois had huge attacker casualties yes, but also very significant...

Furthermore, trenches, even when taken (which did happen) were hard to hold. You didn't just have one line of trench, you often had 4-7, and of course, all the defneses faced the enemy's side, not your own rear. So troops that did take an enemy trench line would be there, tired, battle-worn, while an enemy counterattack was mustering and would probably knock them right back. Ideally, you'd send fresh troops to relieve your successful attackers,...
