Are most of the descendents of the ancient Macedonians Slavic or Greek?
>>293963
Are you asking wether modern day Macedonians are greek or slavic?
Genetically, it's a tossup. The greeks stayed in the area but got invaded by Slavs during 7th century onwards. So a bit of both.

Rank those seven attributes according to their importance in the history of warfare:
>Logistics
>Luck
>Morale
>Physical Fitness
>Strategy
>Tactics
>Technology
>>293944
I say logistics and technology increases the odds in a statistical manner and the other aspects just adjust the margins

1. Technology.
2. Logistics.
3. Strategy.
POWER GAP
4. Everything else,

Who is he? What is /his/ thoughts about who the real suspect was? Personally, I think Aaron Kosminski as, according to mutable sources, he is the most insane out of all the other sources.
>>293936
His real name was Sebastian, and he was a reformer and a crusader against the immorality that was the East End. The Vorlons took him to their world and use him to test the worthy and unworthy.
Probably someone we never heard of. You can make a decent case for Kosminski, but so can you for Montague Druitt, Severin Klosowski,Charles Cross, James Kelly and others. The royal, and other, conspiracy theories however are utter trash.
Can somebody tell me why he has become so famous? All I know about him is that he was a murderer who mutilated his victims and never got caught.
Seconding, I'd like a nice general survey of Britain.

You want to know the birth of Britain?
You might like "The Birth of Britain" by big daddy Churchill himself

Great president or greatest president?
Neither T B H
Literally the worst president
His administration is almost entirely responsible for how far Islamic extremism has gone, and for the debt and credit crises in the US.
But yeah, keep sucking his desiccated cock and because he was handsome and gave good speeches. He was an actor folks.

What are Spaniards and Portuguese? Are they the last of the Gallo-Romans? Are they Carthaginians? Are they Visigoths? Are they Arabic Berbers? Are they all of that at the same time?
Are Galicians, Celts?
they are wannabe Mexicans and Brazilians
actually thought they are a heavy mix of all those OP, most Europeans today are incredibly mixed
Mainly Celtiberians mixed with Romans, Goths, Arab-Berbers and Sephardim
do de facto colonies still exist?
You look at the equity, social mobility, and legal rights in Latin America between the indigineous people and the upper class and you tell me.
>>293742
Read Lenin and Hilferding on Imperialism. Then read Wallerstein on World Systems. Then make an actually useful thread on the topic.
Also, the effects of colonization are losing their grip everyday, but it's still a long way to go. Cant wait till Mayan culture becomes fully revived and the people independent and modernized within the next century.
How did Christianity not only survive, but thrive?
>Romans burned them alive, crucified them, and fed them to wild dogs
>No printing press or literacy
>Most early Christians were poor people from the Roman backwaters
>Their faith was actively suppressed, so they could only meet discretely.
>Christians were used as scapegoats for disasters

Truth finds a way.

The Roman Empire was in a state of decline and everyone thought the world was soon to be ending (because Rome was the world). Then this religion pops up not only promising to save your soul in particular but bring about a kingdom of heaven on Earth and soon. The whole kingdom of heaven on Earth thing kind of was kind of pushed back when it turned out the world wasn't actually ending but whatevs.
Diomedes best boy
Paris worst boy
Prove me wrong. Protip: You cant.
>>293513
I think Achilles is best boy. Lots of people killed other people and the amount of kills someone had doesn't seem as significant to me as living out a foundational lover's revenge myth as Achilles did.
>>293528
Achilles was a raging badass
Easily a second best
If he hadnt died to that sniper pussy Paris he would be best boy
>>293540
How does dying a noble death change the fact that not only did he kill many others, like Diomedes, he avenged his lover? If anything that adds to the greatness of the story.

No

Young Leonardo DiCaprio could have played him. I'm surprised they aren't related. In his later years he entered the JUST league though.

Find me a better looking king then.
Could the Romans have stopped the Mongol Empire in its tracks?
>>293469
They could barely manage the Huns, and the Mongols were leagues ahead of the Huns in leadership, strategy and technology.
>>293469
No.
They (Byzantines?) couldn't even stop the Huns and eventually realized horse archery is King.
they did didnt they?
ie Byzantium
Why are people afraid to admit Hitler was a socialist?
>guaranteed employment
>national healthcare
>organized labor
>welfare systems
>collective ownership of industry
>nazi literally stands for "national socialist"
Were his social policies really that far overshadowed by nationalism and traditionalist rhetoric that to call him a socialist is invalid?
Or is he just...
