How was Marco Polo able to befriend the Kublai Khan so much?

the 1960s. colleges became places of activism instead of intellectual pursuit

You're going to have to be more specific.
If we don't get off this rock soon I can already tell you Nationalism will replace Humanitarianism pretty quickly.
Also Humanities is retarded and got co-opted to teach insane shit.

SINCE HISTORY DOES NOT HAVE A SPATIAL DIMENSION, IT CANNOT BE LOCATED IN A POINT IN SPACE, THEREFORE IT COULD HAVE STARTED ANYWHERE.

Here are some words of great thinkers on Islam
“It is a great shame for any one to listen to the accusation that Islaam is a lie and that Muhammad was a fabricator and a deceiver. We saw that he remained steadfast upon his principles, with firm determination; kind and generous, compassionate, pious, virtuous, with real manhood, hardworking and sincere. Besides all these qualities, he was lenient with others, tolerant, kind, cheerful and praiseworthy and perhaps he would joke and tease his companions. He was just, truthful, smart, pure, magnanimous and present-minded;...

"Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down (—I do not say by what sort of feet—) Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin—because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness...

"I respect, more than do the Mamluks, God, his prophet Muhammad and the glorious Qur'an... we are true Muslims. Are we not the one who has destroyed the Pope who preached war against Muslims? Did we not destroy the Knights of Malta, because these fanatics believed that God wanted them to make war against the Muslims?”

Was Stalin a marxist?
So much that he persecuted genetic researchers because he thought genetics to be a "bourgeois science" that conflicted with Marxist environmentalism.

Since our common law friends have one, why shouldn't we?
Let's discuss theories, our national laws, recommend reads, or discuss legal history.

no exciting precedent setting cases
What single state (historical or not) can you name that has been independence for the longest? First one that comes to mind is the Republic of Venice that lasted for 1100 years.
>>280586
San Marino?
England?
Denmark?
Sweden?
Ethiopia?
Ethiopia or Egypt. Maybe the Papal States. Or Rome. Depends on what you count as independence.
Ethiopia seems the most promising answer off the top of my head.
Is there any way to beat a moat with resorting to starvation?
Post your favorite castles and defenses here too
Construct a floating bridge and sap the walls.
Also why didn't castles have a metal bar across their wall like this to prevent people from using ladders?

Because that would ruin the aesthetics.

Elaborate.
Tell me about gypsies. I'm watching Hunchback of Notre Dame, and there seems like be some kind of mixed feelings about them. What did they do? What were they about?
nomads living in settled societies
they have scorn for outsiders and despise gypsies that integrate
high crime, birth rates and incest
>>280431
But what's wrong with incest? Was it just sinful or something? Was all of Europe ruled by religion?
>>280456
>But what's wrong with incest? Was it just sinful or something?
They have a lot of defects because of inbreeding
It's sad to see desu
I think all attempts to settle and integrate them degenerated gypsies even further
