The utterly failed attempt to build a tracked vehicle that could jump via the use of rockets.
There was apparently a similar version on a Valentine tank, though I haven't found any images of it.

Just how horrific was WWI?
Was it the single most traumatic and damaging event in history?
Was it truly the trigger to destroy Christianity in Europe?
Did it really set Europe on an irreversible economic and social decline that it is still ongoing to this day?
/pol/ thread in disguise?
Also I'm pretty sure WW2 was more traumatizing to humanity over all
>>29784
millions of men, women and children dead
millions with PTSD
millions of grieving families
millions homeless
millions starving
millions of refugees

HOW TO RUIN A COUNTRY
>have elective monarchy
>elect a german for a king
>>29605
Literally 1866 Romania. And it worked out great.

August the Strong was a good king.
What other countries had elective monarchies other than the HRE?
Why can nobody understand what the trinity means? There is a lot of disagreement of its meaning, is it possible that we may never understand at all?
>>29419
It's a lie

>Why can nobody understand what the trinity means?
God is necessarily un-understandable unless you have been possessed by a valid eisegesis: that you are actually a living saint. Nobody can understand the nature of god. Do some basic theological reading before you open your shit trap in public.

The father, son, and holy ghost are separate entities yet facets of the same being. This is not a hard concept to understand and there are similar parallels in other world religions.
As this is a new board I think an obscure history thread is a good idea. I'll start with an allied massacre.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_draft_riots
The Bull's Head hotel on 44th Street, which refused to provide alcohol to the mob, was burned. The mayor's residence on Fifth Avenue, the Eighth and Fifth District police stations, and other buildings were attacked and set on fire. Other targets included the office of the New York Times. The mob was turned back at the Times office by staff manning Gatling guns, including Times founder Henry Jarvis Raymond.
Inejiro Asanuma was a Japanese politician, and leader of the Japan Socialist Party. He was assassinated on live television.

Caption under OP's pic probably isn't true, the generally accepted figure is somewhere between 20-50 German guards and staff killed.
Which is it and why?
>>29276
Depends on the particular brand of language-games you subscribe to or have been raised to adopt
C.E and B.C.E exist solely to appease non-Semitic religions.

Ce and bce because the unnecessary Christianization of history is stupid

Ally with the Polish Marshall to invade Nazi Germany before their attack.
They will never expect that.

Why has there not been a single successful sub Saharan African civilisation?
Europeans flourished and created dozens of successes; the same is true of the people of the Steppes and the Orientals. For Africans, there is a vacuum; nothing. No wheel. No animal domestication, very little agriculture despite being the most fertile continent on the planet.
Why is this?
What is the point of this thread? The answer is obvious but unspoken. Try not to trigger people while you're here.
![zebras-harnessed[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Jt41wkG.jpg "zebras-harnessed[1].jpg")
Why did no one tame and domesticate the Zebra before Europeans?
Why did no one invent the wheel to aide with daily task and toil?
Why did none of this happen?

You are Marshal of Poland.
How do you save Poland?
>>29170
Hope that the French and British give meaningful help. Poland is screwed otherwise.
You cannot. Unless you convince the western allies to continue with their offensive. Even then you are probably doomed with the USSR invasion.

What is your favorite period of history? Byzantine fag here.

I can't think of one poet, theologian, inventor, leader from the massive Byzantine era.

Was Austria-Hungary really "doomed to fail", as orthodox historians keep claiming?
>booming economy
>good military performance against the Italians, for a traditionally non-military power
>better than literally everything that replaced it
I think that if Austria-Hungary were forced to just make a few concessions instead of being completely dissolved, such as releasing Bosnia, Serbia, and it's Romanian and Polish territories, it could have survived until today....

Yeah, but the EU isn't a country, and it doesn't treat some nationalities as "tolerated".
>>29016
My point was that left-wing historians will trash Austria-Hungary in retrospect (which is a very easy thing to do) as being "backward" due to it's multicultural, pan-european nature. These same characteristics are being resold to us again today as being "the future".
My feelings are that if Austria-Hungary stayed together in some form it would have developed a group identity in the face of the Soviet and German threats. For instance today the Czechs, Slovaks, Austrians, Hungarians, and Slovenes...

This picture being the face of the board is going to cause strife and anger until it is removed. Instead of an influential and recognisable general we get literally who grandpa who tought that winter comes because sun is being blown away.
Picture of Sherman would show poltards, holotruthers and state righters that there is no place for them here.
