If there are infinite dimensions/realities, does that mean that every conceivable reality exists?
"The past doesn't exist.
The future doesn't exist.
The present doesn't exist.
We are all bowls of jelly."
--Jaden Smith
yeah

If nothing can be the same then everything existing is inevitable.
Everyone here fucking hates Woodrow Wilson. Is it a loud minority or do you guys actually think hes the anti-christ?
https://strawpoll.me/6069259
If you don't like him, detail your arguments down below. The foreign and domestic Woodrow have always been a weird dichotomy, so the more specific in your criticisms the better
>>282318
>prevented Germany being torn into pieces
An absolute disgusting excuse for a human being
>>282318
He's hated because the hardcore libertarian right-wingers like to ignore the progressive economic reform of presidents like Teddy, Wilson and FDR. When you take that away from Wilson there's not really much good left so naturally they view him as the most evil man ever.
People here take Mencius Moldbug seriously.

Is western European history worth learning about? Other than when it was conquered by Rome and after the renaissance it seems to be a long list of petty wars and squabbles between counties.
All history is worth learning about, dude.
>>282297
>Petty wars
>Squabbles
I think you mean some of the greatest conquests and tragedies anon. Western European History during the Middle Ages is this the shit because it reads like a Greek epic, only it was real life.
>tfw there will never be a movie about Henry II and the tragic betrayal by all those he trusted and loved.
>>282297
No one is forcing you to learn about the history of western Europe. Study what you like.
Have there ever been episodes of mountain warfare in which one side crushed the other?
>>282253
Does Dien Bien Phu count?
>hey lets build a fort in a valley, no one will think of setting up in the hills to bombard us
>>282253
This pretty good example. 9 French guys in a bunker with couple machine guns held 6000 Italians for ten days, until armistice was signed. English wikipedia article deleted... due to whining Italians.
>>282255
>hey lets build a fort in a bottleneck pass to block the flow of troops and supplies
>no one will think of disassembling artillery and hauling it through miles of treacherous mountain jungle piece by piece so they can bombard us.
What instances are there of countries using POWS, slaves, or other people as cannon fodder to fight in their wars, if so how did it turn out?
>>282208
Nazis did that a lot. Most of the people they used simply surrendered or switched sides when the Allies closed in on them.
>>282208
Russia threw peasants--sorry, "glorious workers"--at the nazis until they stoppe.
Worked out okay for Russia.
I think ancient Greeks used slaves in war, but hellenistic slavery was different from todays definition.

Unless I'm mistaken, Sparta used helots for rear roles and even minor fighting.

It was a civil war but why it is usually portrayed as a war between Vietnam and America?
Because America enjoys involving itself into things it should stay out of.
>>281952
/thread
>>281943
Because all those bombs and agent orange was dropped by the American air-force y'know?
does anyone know anything good about the republic of vermont? web searches reveal nothing juicy

What exactly are you hoping to find? Put it to us plain.
>>281871
tidbits, a basic historical overview, anything interesting
>>281911
Have you tried just reading the wikipedia article?
What were the accomplishments of eastern philosophy? I study a lot of western philosophy but I have almost zero knowledge of eastern philosophy. What were the main areas of study in eastern philosophy?
Humanism was here.
Confucius is gay.
>>281812
Daoism is heavily focused on environmentalism and nature. Also puts emphasis on moderation and balance.
>>281812
You could do worse than reading Needham on China.
>Southeast Asian history

Which Founding Father contributed the most to the United States? To the world?
>>281642
John Hancock is the most underrated founding father imo. Everyone loves talking about Hamilton and Jefferson and Adams but Hancock was always the shit and the only thing anyone remembers him for is his obnoxious signature.
Either Thomas Jefferson or James Madison.
>>281642
Madison. Then Franklin or Washington
You are the ruler of shitpostia, you are at war with the nation of /his/
The mamluks are about the have their pawn become the pope which means they will be invading shit soon, but they are at war with persia right now. Persia has 7,000 soldiers and the mamluks have 9,000 soldiers.
/his/ has 10,000 soldiers.
Your treasury contains 8 million dongdings, each soldier costs 120 dondings a month.
The nation of shipostia makes 600,000 dongdings a month in tax/tarrif revenue
You can make an inquiry about other nations or make a command. What do you do?
What year is it?
>>281624
Raise 25,000 troops to crush these /his/ shitheads, and send out emissaries to the vikings and kekland to see if either are interested in allying with you against the villainous /his/torians.
The way I see it, I have about 60,000 man/months of labor.
I also happen to know how science works and shit.
If I'm lucky enough to have some collieries and iron around, I'll be able to rapidly industrialize with Bessemer Process/BOS Steel and steam engines.
As for actual warfare, I know that nitric acid + stuff = boom, and I know of the Haber Process and the Arc process for creating steel to point that boom towards my enemy.
Short answer, I tech whore to WW1 era technology and smother everything in a cloud of flying lead and steel.
Does it blow anyone else mind just how incredibly recent in history that mathematics was discovered and invented? And how thanks to math the last 300 years seem more like they may as well have been 3000 years?
But that's wrong, you fucking retard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematics
>>281589
No, the concept of industrialization changed the way the world works.
That and the invention of C.
>>281589
If by recently you mean geologically, yes
tell me about the warlord era china /his/
>>281554
Dogmeat general Zhang Zongchang is all you need to know.
>>281554
I've always thought it a bit weird that despite the KMT really kind of starting in the south, by the time they "win" in the mid-30s their power base is in that Sichuan Hubei-Anhui corridor, and they can't seem to control the south anymore.
>>281554
Why does he wear the mask?
Do you think history would forgive Hitler like it did to Napoleon,Genghis Khan and so much more conquerors?
>>281547
No.
Probably not.
For one, he was a complete windowlicker.
you're whitewashing history if you think hitler is just a 'conqueror'
Why are so many great modern historians German?
Is it autism?
>>281484
*philosophers*
>Britain first country hit by the Industrial Revolution
>nearest countries are France and Germany
>United States is somewhat late to the party but comes in with a gusto
>essentially everyone important in the last 200 years is from one of these four countries
It's not that complicated.
>>281533
lol this
really the greatest are the british and the french because they started modern philosophy
