So /his/ do you think the holocaust could have been prevented had the allied forces gone to war with Hitler earlier?

Should have stopped Mr Hitler back at the remilitarization of the Rhineland, put him in his place before he got too big for his boots

But Aushtwitz I was part of a larger complex which includes the extermination camp Auswhtiz-Birkenau anon
What do you mean, like the germans would have been too busy with the war effort to put work towards building camps?
Was there ever a time in history of the world where there was an actual leader who went "full Big Boss", as in being extremely obsessed with war and promoting "no borders" with nuclear strikes/global threats?
ISIS

You mean full Venom

How exactly is he a hero? Because he made some good music?
Anyway I would say Eugene Debs is underrated even though he is probably the most famous Socialist in US history.

No. Flags only lead to /pol/ style banter.

Man, someone should stream Lawrence of Arabia tonight in honor of /his/. It was just put on Netflix. I've seen the movie twice this year, no joke, and am totally willing to watch it a third.

Dr. Zhivago was great.
Das Boot is also a good watch, too. (though it's subbed)

Oh, and as for contributing to the discussion, I recommend everyone watch HBO's Rome.

>tfw the class is an ancient - 1750 history class.

>ancient - 1750
Fucking how?
Is it just China? How can they give you anything more than a brief overview of each era per lecture?

DUDE MONGOLS LMAO
How did Hitler not realize he was fucked as soon as Barbarossa stalled and especially after the US got into the war and started pushing his shit in from the west?
>>10938
I think Japan was a very poor choice as an ally, basically dragged Germany into a war with the United States, while Japan did fuck all against the USSR.
He did.
He was drugged up on methamphetamines so much Im surprised how he even functioned on a regular basis.
In this thread, we talk about the fact that Africa wasn't just mudhuts and Egyptians. Here is one of my personal favorites, the Nok culture.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nok_culture
They were a iron-smelting people, who made their own version of terra-cotta art. Pic related.
is that a statue of a guy having a chin wank?

>when the ass is fat
African history is awesome. Im a fan of ethiopian history myself.
People who think african societies are backwards and primitive are some of the oddest folk. They do not understand history nor athropology nor sociology nor any of the humanties in general.

Are you even aware that civilization is at least 100k years old? at least.
yes
i think we're from another planet desu
but we have had our shit wrecked over and over again and started over

At the most that structure is about 15,000 years old.
In order for this board to work, everybody here needs to have a solid foundation to work with. We must make a concerted effort to promote reading history books when not posting. Therefore, I must ask, what is the last history related book you've read and what are you planning on reading next?
>Last: Into Africa
>Next: A History of the American People

But why? Like give us one good reason not to burn these?
I have always thought that an Axis victory in Europe and an Allied victory in the Pacific would have been the best result of WW2
Do you agree and/or disagree /his/?
>>10053
nope
nazis planed to kill all the slavs and the french
stupid pig skin
>>10053
i agree
>>10053
Given that my father's family is of German descent and experienced of a lot of prejudice based solely on a last name I inherited.
No, that would not have been the best result. Honestly what we got was probably as good as it could have ever been and thankfully the pacific theater didn't extend to a land invasion of Japan given the loss of life both sides would have endured.

Hah.
Thinking about it in depth, it's really quite impressive that the National Socialists were able to turn around Germany's prior economic state and restore it. Barring times of intense war, the people seemed to be happy and full of purpose.
Thoughts?
sure, as long as you weren't jewish, gypsy, liberal, or gay
>>9797
Culturally it was impressive, the uniting of a nation. Though, the flaw is that it requires an enemy that's able to strike fear into the populace and unite them.
For the US, it was the commies. Once that faded, so does the country's unison. Though the US did see it briefly after 9/11
Why is this guy so popular as a god? Why do over half of the people in the world worship him?
>>9686
The white were right
The characterization of YHVH isn't popular. Less than 1% of the world is Jewish.
YHVH, Jehovah, and Allah might be the "same" God, but they're characterized extremely differently depending on your religion, and not only that, but the sect of your religion.
If you really want to know why God is popular, its because most people who believe in him actually haven't read the Bible.

What do you mean? God is an asshole in every Abrahamic holy book
