Celts are a fucking joke. Vikings can oftentimes be overhyped, but there is truth that they raided far and wide, even had an empire (Cnut's North Sea Empire), and influenced the peoples around them at least as much as they themselves were influenced. What did Celts do? Go on the decline since the bronze age. Bitched by Italics out of continental Europe and then in the British Isles by Germanics. They mostly can't speak their own fucking language for fucks sake. HURR BIG CLAYMORE LMAO ENGLISH ARE GAY LOL they just about never won a war and I'm convinced they're...

Don't forget that Celts were literal cucks as their women were free to fuck who they want and the guys themselves resorted to fucking other guys.
Cucks and faggots.
Why are the English so bitter and butthurt over the Scots?

Wait, so Mannerheim was black? Why did the Nazis ally with Finland then?
Just fucking kill yourself you cancerous shitposting twat
Hitler shook a black mans hand when FDR wouldnt even see him.
Despite what retarded overuse of the word, neonazis, and modern propaganda would imply the Nazis were allied with many Black and Arab countries. Nazi only hated Gypsies, Jews, and the like. They didnt really give a shit about what went ethnically on on other contienents

What are some noteable known examples of descendants of well-known historical figures?
It's easy to track down the ancestory of royal figures, but for other famous people, such as scientists, it feels like their offspring went under the radar. The only case that comes to my mind is Rommel's son being the mayor of some city in Germany.

Being the closest thing to a Nazi Communist one could possibly be, and seeing humans as living automatons. Not mindless machines per se, as they would still have to cultivate themselves and practice sports, while still working, but legions of clones with the same needs. No place for individualism. Every one would have to be a perfectly happy and comfortable member of the collectivity.
He just forgot Humans have a taste for emotions and feelings, and a tendency to not enjoy living in concrete cubes.
i'm going to begin university soon, and i'm interested in majoring in history or museum studies. but are there any real jobs i could get with those degrees? do any of you work in a history related job?
also, i only care to make enough money in order to live. i don't intend to live a big life, so making shit money is not a huge problem.
>>1300053
No there's not many job directly related. But it's a fascinating topic.
>>1300053
I mean there's teaching. I'm in uni and I want to be a history teacher. You can also work in a museum, or if in the states, places like your city hall.
history graduate here
honestly history has 2 viable paths once you have your bachelors, teaching or law. that really boils down to what your passion is. if you want to stay in jobs related to history go into teaching and do what you love, just know that teaching is a lot more competitive, where getting a Masters is pretty much necessary to even teach high school with the competition you face.
Law is more like putting the skills you honed in history put to another use, it's a lot of research and reading, a lot of writing and persuading people to buy into your...

Why don't you smoke?

Reminder if you use others examples and experiences as your own you are ignorant
Reminder you cannot form a proper opinion of something you have never fully tried
Reminder almost everyone alive has some sort of vice, who are you to judge who does what?
None of these are really compelling reasons to indulge in small potatoes.
Weed culture is awful, and this is coming from someone who smokes literally everyday. Smoking just to get high is an absolutely worthless hobby, but getting high to program, write music, read history or watch documentaries is simply amazing. I pity those who smoke just to get high, those are the idiots that move onto harder drugs once their tolerance is far too strong.
I wouldn't recommend weed for most people. Most stoners I know are useless humans, only those with the discipline that can enjoy it responsibly as a pastime should do it.
>>1318536
Well it has the obvious perks of being relaxing and 'fun'. But I didn't want to mention those obvious qualities.
It's your turn now to say why you don't smoke, without using ignorance as your example.
Why did Europeans end up on top of the world?
>>1324678
I don't think Europe has been on top of anything for a while now.
>>1324684
True, but you do agree it was the center of world civilisation when it mattered? Don't know if it's a coincidence but seems like Europe only got worse once it started importing too many migrants.

What was worst? being part of the USSR(like the baltics) or being a "independent" country in the eastern block(like poland and bulgaria)

Latvia in 1938 had the 10th best economy in Europe, a few hundreds behinde Norway.
Latvia in 2016 is barely Greece and Portugal level and its economy is ruined and will never return back to its potential as one of the best in Europe.
This is the effect of a USSR "liberation"

How many Roman Empires were there and when did the last one fall?
There was one and will always only be one. Every one that came after were just faggots that couldn't let go.
>>1320664
>How many Roman Empire were there
Only one, the Roman Empire. (27 AD - 1453 AD)
>Wheh did the last one fall
May 29, 1453.
There was one, administered by two different governments. One of these collapsed in the 5th century, the other in the 15th century
It's been 75 years so let's discuss Operation Barbarossa or Eastern Front on general. Like, why were the Germans so goddamn brutal?
>>1318724
>why were the Germans so goddamn brutal?
because they're Slavs, not people, not even worthy of being called salves, end of story.
>>1318724
>brutal
How were they more than appropriately brutal in barbarossa?
If Guderian would have had his way, the war would have been very different. Right from Barbarossa...he petitioned for an all out run for the capital with all the armor he could muster, supplied by airdrop and 1000 trucks following him with supplies of food fuel and ammunition...2 weeks was his time frame to get to Moscow and then take the capital. There were other varitions of his plan, but it was far to bold for Hitler and his generals to even consider.
As part of the plan, for the offensive, Guderian wanted every Panzer 4 and Panzer 3 he could lay his hands on, for...
