Post history's biggest disappointments.
>One of Germany's greatest emperors
>Shows himself ruthless and cunning against your foes
>Decides to lead an army to the middle east to fight in the third crusade
>Gathers an army of 100.000
>Crosses some river when halfway there
>Falls off his horse and drowns
What would have happened if he didn't die?
No fights over who would lead the Crusade. Barbarossa was older, more powerful and outranked the two Kings.
German contingent reaches Jerusalem = stronger Crusader states
The interesting thing would be if he found out the Byzantines were helping the Muslims.

Even more disappointing is the fact that he was illiterate and actually not a very good military leader.
If I fear death, should I also fear sleep?
How does one live with the idea that continuity of consciousness is what matters?
>>1277976
>If I fear death, should I also fear sleep?
Yes. How do you know the "you" who went to sleep is the same as the "you" who woke up?
>>1277989
Why would that be a worry if it's a continuous experience anyway?
>How does one live with the idea that continuity of consciousness is what matters?
They live ignorantly, which is fine. Everyone does in one area or a lot of them.
The "self" is an abstract object. There isn't anything that actually separates you from the rest of reality. You're made of the same shit and are constantly exchanging materials with other stuff around you, it's all one big soup. You were simply taught by society that you exist, and this is how society and linguistics function globally at the moment,...

What does /his/ think of Even Hoxha?
>>1277932
Irrelevant tinpot dictator of an irrelevant nation.
If Albania vanished off the map tomorrow, it would take a week for anyone to notice.
>>1277941
I don't think we're getting a better answer than this
>a
>dirty
>commie
Even in the communist community, this guy is seen as a "joke," in a way.
He was overly paranoid and quickly pushed away all allies.
>required passports to travel between TOWNS.
>banned beards
Just why?
Do nonhuman animals have autonomy that needs to be respected?
>>1277860
Is autonomy something that needs to be respected?
>>1277860
If you're empathetic to autonomy and life, then yes.
If you're autistic or sociopathic, then no.
It also depends on how firm the animals consciousness is. Dogs, cats, pigs, birds, cows, monkeys et cetera have relatively high levels of consciousness and don't like being hurt. However, oysters and jellyfish don't feel the same distress and don't feel pain, so if you accidentally kill one, don't feel bad (anthropomorphism takes care of this one too, since both look like alien cumshots)

Hi, /his/torians, what period/s of history interest you the most.
(After 1980 is not history, it's just a rule)
August 2013 - February 2014
End of the 3rd Punic War -> Death of Julius Caesar
The First Crusade
The reign of Justinian
Alexander's Conquests
>>1277128
Late Anituqity and High Middle Ages.
Which of those was right?
>>1276900
Foucault doesn't belong in this mosaic. He was a neo-liberal.
>>1276900
Gandhi was right. I'm not actually sure who the others are anyway.
>>1276911
Still can be right/wrong/whatever
What if God is not omnipotent?
>>1276800
It would solve the problem of evil but would beg the question of then who was god's god?
>>1276800
He'd be a pretty pisspoor excuse for a god.
>>1276820
Another god.
They're not omnipotent either.
Also the same situation for that god's god's gods' god etc.
But with enough god, all the responsibilities gets covered. So hinduism wins.
was there ever a worse period in the history of mankind than the 30 years war?
>>1276677
The Thirty Years War has a lot in common with the recent Second Congo War which claimed 5,000,000 lives.
>>1276689
>equivalent deaths today
Meaning? How many deaths there would need to be nowadays to mirror how much of the proportion of the population died?
What are some of the most embarrassing 'victories' in history?
>What are 'force multipliers'
>>1276750
Something chinashills edited out of the summary.
>The defense was also stiffened by a significant number of British-supplied mortars, two batteries of French-supplied 75mm field guns and several 2 pdr anti-tank guns. Also of great importance were eight new U.S.-supplied M2A1 tanks which were deployed within the city itself.
>>1276758
Also there is almost zero chance that three IJA divisions had 600 artillery pieces. Chink revisionism at work.
Alright, so... Which non-Hitler Nazi is Best(Worst?) Nazi? And no, we aren't limited to pic related.
>/his/ - The History Channel
>>1276288
The History Channel with 113% World War II bullocks was still better than THC today.
>>1276262
Most definitely Guderian
what went wrong?
he a racist who wants to try and erase black people's contribution to history.
>>1276235
Had his fingers in the till

Apparently, Egyptology is hella expensive to maintain.
Name a better short-form Youtube history series

>I hate anything with bright colors because they remind me of my repressed gay sexuality
>>1275529
Well I suppose they handled the last one pretty well.
They didn't fall for the "MUH SO TOLERANT AND MULTICULTURAL ISLAMIC CONTROLLED SPAIN" myth.
Are they really Gods chosen people?

Kek.
>Act of Supremacy
>Act of Uniformity
>Act to retain her Majesty's servants
>Act against Jesuits and Seminarys
>Act for the better discovery of wicked Catholics
People want to be Protestant! That's why we make it illegal not to be :^)
>>1272491
So one theocracy was replaced with another. No! That's not right. One group of foreign inquisitors replaced with another group of local inquisitors. That seems a bit closer. Perhaps they just wanted a different flavor of Kool-Aid.
You didn't pose a question there OP. You merely stated facts.
So Historically, did Anglican reforms aggravate tensions between England and Catholic Stated such as France and Spain during the 16th & 17th centuries?
Or, did Anglican Church supremacy and oppression...

Daughter of Andrew & Fergie
This is exactly why people in Europe simply got tired of the Christcuck religion and went full secular.
As if people want to keep giving their lives for some made-up shit.
i read a little about it on wikipedia. from what i gather the enlightenment made the french want to have a republic but then this robespierre guy took it too far and killed tons of people and then napoleon took power.
is this the gist of it? what am i missing?

I think these videos will interest you. In less than half an hour you'll know more about the French Revolution than over 99% of people.
The early stages of the French Revolution was a founding moment of the modern world, so it's good you're learning about it.

the first two videos talk about how Louis XVI and his wife were actually good people, and the third video says that the revolution was not popular and there is no excuse for it happening.
is there not more to the story?
