What is spiritual enlightenment? Is it bug exploiting of our biology? Does it exist at all? Is it the realization that it doesn't exist?

As as first year high school history teacher teaching World History, I often find myself wondering what my students absolutely need to learn in a high school history class.
Considering well over ninety-nine percent of them won't pursue any post-secondary courses in history, I feel that I have a duty to condense the 500+ years of history (the class basically covers 1500 to the present) I need to teach them into something that they might actually use later in life. Any recommendations /his/?

textual criticism, ie: historiography
History isn't about content, it is about method.
>>47370
The only reason to learn anything in high school besides consumer education and government is to broaden your horizon before you go off to college and choose what degree to live your life around.
This is why I would never be a teacher. I refuse to teach anyone who isn't willing to learn the particular subject I'm teaching.
The main purpose of high school history should be to teach children to be skeptical of authority, so that they don't get fooled by communists, fascists, or demagogues.

Hello /his/! I have a collection of several hundred history-related books that I would like to share with you. They range from many eras of human history and I will dump them randomly. I'll include a cover picture and a summary of the book with each post.
If you have links to any historical books, feel free to contribute. I'll go ahead and start:

>Near the end of the Second World War, a National Socialist resistance movement, known as the Werwolf, flickered briefly to life in Germany and its borderlands. Dedicated to delaying the advance of the Allies on both fronts, the Werwolf succeeded in scattered acts of sabotage and violence. By the spring of 1945, it also showed signs of becoming a vengeful Nazi reaction against the German populace itself. 'Collaborators' and 'defeatists' were frequently assassinated, and crude posters warned that certain death would follow any failure...

I have access to a bunch of private torrent trackers so if there is a digital edition of it I can probably get it for someone.
Has a democratic nation ever survived long-term (centuries) with universal suffrage?
First for /pol/
Has a nation ever had universal suffrage before ~100 years ago?
we've barely even had a century
Why does the United States hate Fidel Castro so much?
He told 'em to fuck off.

Because he's a Commie who allied with the Soviets and helped nearly cause the end of civilization.
Of these 3 and Takeda Shingen, who was the greatest general? The best ruler? I lean towards Shingen as the best general and Hideyoshi as the best ruler
Shingen was a hollow armor, Tokugawa was a racoon, and Oda was possessed by a Jesuit demon. I think we know who the best general was senpai.
Tokugawa, by far
>>46846
Hideyoshi as ruler except for his policy towards Christians.
Do you think it is possible for civilization to survive beyond the technological explosion?
of course
>>46603
what technological explosion? it's 2015 and we have no hovercars but lots of different mobile phones
>>46603
Probably what was said 50 years ago. No, 100. Hell, even 150. Pretty much any time technology has exploded since the industrial revolution.
Pigs were domesticated here, but Jews and Muslims can't eat them
Cannabis was domesticated here, but Jews and Muslims can't smoke it
Alcohol was invented here, but Muslims can't drink it
Cheese was invented here, but Jews can't eat it with meat

We're better off not being Middle Easterners.
>God has killed more humans than Satan
>"God is good, Satan is evil!"
I can't comprehend why people still believe in the bible.
>>46437
God was right. The greatest crime would be to allow all those people to live.
according to christfags anything god does is good by definition therefore he could kill everyone on the planet and it would still be moral
so I doubt your image is going to hold much sway with them, although I take your point
t. Taoist
So you're using this as a sole example of why satan is good?
Were the Mongols the most overpowered people in history?
Also Mongols thread.
Mongol OPness was matched by the stupidity of their enemies. Genghis Khan invaded Iran and Anatolia almost by mistake.
It does amaze me how organised their army was though. It could be argued that their military system was what influenced the later European one, through the Ottoman system in the 1500s.
>>46579
That, and also blind chance. When the Mongols won so many battles, they naturally struck fear into potential enemies who thought the Mongols were invincible (the same thing happened with their descendant, Timur).
They also employed very dirty and unconventional tactics. Upon encountering a Georgian army, for instance, they carried a cross. The Georgians correspondingly thought they were the army of Prester John, and in their naivete were slaughtered. They also did shit like diverting rivers to flood forts and...

Another point is also the provess of an individual warrior.
A mongolian warrior used a horse and bow from pre-teen years and used them every day to actually sustain his way of life. Being mounted archers was literally their way of life.
Meanwhile, an average chinese or middle eastern soldier was a peasant who probably only held a spear for his first time mere months/weeks before a battle.
Honestly, who was the best US president, solely looking at what their accomplishments during the presidency?
How does Obama stand up to the rest of them?
Ike.
Nixon was better than he's rated as, his actions in international relations were some of the best any president ever managed. But yeah Watergate kind of fucked it all up and rightly so.
I guess it's gonna be our most regular thread.

>best
value judgement, not history.
I'm sure like me, many of you have families who laugh or outright mock you for enjoying history and learning about the past. For example, this just happened to me
>Sitting in lounge reading a book about Nazi Germany
>Father walks in
>Starts questioning me
>''Son, why are you reading about things that already happened?''

We don't. We trick them into repeating it for personal gain.
