Before 1947 Jammu and Kashmir were part of a princely state, which in turn was a British vassal. The rulers of the princely state of Kashmir were Hindus, whereas the plebs were Muslims. When the princely states were forced to choose on either joining Pakistan or India after independence, the ruler of Kashmir decided to cede his state to India, contrary to the wishes of the Muslim population.

How do the Chinese justify those and other territorial claims they have on India?

Also, why did the British allowed the prince to decide when they knew how much problems would cause? What about a third way with an independent Kashmir? It was an option for the princely states iirc.

With the exception of the Spratlys and all those Island Squabbles, the Chinese justify all continental Asian territorial disputes based on the last dynasty's- the Qingz- Borders

good thread

The plague empowered the peasants that survived and made way for a strong middleclass in some parts of europe.
At least something.

Actually Italy and the HRE went downward after the Black Death while Western Europe surged ahead and experienced real wages people wouldn't have again until the Industrial revolution.

Compare say Italy and the Dutch

It was tried, a lot of times, poorly.

Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge.

If the USSR wasn't actually communist why is it so jerked off over by all you edgy commie kids?

Seems like the same exact deal with neonazis who wank off to the holocaust then claim it never happened. Can't have it both ways.

>It's not like the universe has feelings,
What are you? Created from the matter inside the universe complete with feelings.

You are literally made from the same things which the universe is made up of. You are the universe.

Intelligence is a mistake and can be detrimental to a species and it's overall survival. Intelligence is a mistake, stop thinking you are so great because you are 'smart'. We are broken.

What? You're not really confused about this are you?
They exist because they're a consequence of how all the physical forces and matter and whatnot in the universe ended up interacting together, they just naturally arose like anything else.
Why would the universe not having emotional needs have anything to do with it?

He didn't do that. He didn't even know about the protestors until several hours after the soldiers shot and killed them because he was hundreds of miles away.

Gotta serve Uncle Sam. They saw communism, the ideology of the Soviet Union and PRC China, as a threat to National Security. They weren't necessarily wrong.

I am sure that would depend entirely upon the fact that Americans show no remorse for their actions.

I went to school with a descendant of this guy.
He had a setup with loads of miniatures of the battle. It was pretty autistic but also kind of cool.

They're too hard for English speakers to pronounce. For an extreme example, [xɬpʼχʷɬtʰɬpʰɬɬs] is a valid word in Nuxalk, spoken in British Columbia.

The sense conveyed is often more important than the thing itself. One is an attempt at dominating nature while the other blends with it and expressed its qualities more subtly.

Solution to problem of evil is that God in fact pretty evil or maybe just powerless to stop evil. Actually there are two Gods, one is evil and the other is powerless. Seems logical to me.

What's wrong about that? There are reasonable working definitions of good and evil in society, why should they not apply to history?

It's not entirely clear. Local populations fluctuate for a variety of reasons. The easiest answer is that economic prosperity leads to population growth, and wars fought on home territory lead to population decline.

What makes it even weirder is that the amount of land under the plough has fallen in Britain quite dramatically since the medieval period.
