Too separate. Guatemala had all the power and shafted all the other countries.

We should bring it back.
Why is Mexico so big and then why are there so man small countries in Central America
What is the noumena behind the semiotics of swearing? What do we mean when we say shitting pisschrist fucking cunts? What are we relating to in an experience that makes a link to those words?
Pic tangentially related I guess.

Judging by the chart, Hicks is way too stupid to be an ENTP
Can we count Russia as a Colonial Empire?
They have explored big amount of lands, colonized, civilized and populated them. Yet their actions were in same manner as annexing lands and making them a part of your country, just like Ottomans did. So can we really count them as a Colonial Empire?
No. They were expansive, but not colonial.
>>1199856
What land did the Ottomans annex outside of Anatolia?
>>1199856
Most of Siberia was quite literally empty. It was very similar to the colonization of north america. With cossacks being similar to cowboys.
Ottoman conquered land inhabited by arabs and various others, so it was different. Russia conquered lands like that too, but that was later, in the 18th-19th century, such as central asia.

Alright, let's counterbalance some of the incessant Christfagging and discuss unChristian moral systems.
My system is superior to Christianity. I believe strength is superior to all other virtues. Yet, I also don't believe in violating other people. It's my belief that I should lead others to greatness. Everybody has better and worse versions of themselves, and it's my mission to bring out the better in people. As well, I take in the idea of existence before essence, and don't judge people until they prove themselves to be something. I'm...

What is the proper order to read Nietzsche's work?
>>1199503
Depends on what you already know. Familiar with Greeks, not modern philosophy? The Birth of Tragedy. Other way around? Beyond Good and Evil. Familiar with Neither? On the Genealogy of Morals.

American Peril was great, wtf u talkin' aboot.
Was the Bible and Christianity simply created to help spread Anti-Roman sentiments... Was it just Propoganda that spun way outta control ultimately seizing the empire(and eventually the world) it was created to denounce... The more I think of this theory the more plausible it sounds... What do you think /his/

> anti-roman
why would the church speak latin then?
DUDE CONSPIRACIES LMAO
>>1198857
The "Church" spoke Greek. Local churches spoke local languages.
Take a look at which language the bible, nicene creed etc are.
How can probabilistic statements be interpreted? Does probability have an ontology?

That has a good survey of the existing mainstream views among philosophers of the field.
I hate to say it guys, but I think it's true. While the Romans did improve on it, yes, most of the Roman culture's successes were highly Greek-derived. Philosophically, art-wise, etc. were largely tiny leaps forward from Greek ideas.
There is a reason every modern westerner knows who Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates are to some degree, but might go "Marcus Auriwho???"
In addition, it's government system was nothing special. The Roman Republic was a fascinating conception, but the moment it became an empire, it just became another land ruled...

Rome is like Steve Jobs, it didn't actually create all those wonderful laws, military tactics, and iPhones, those were all made by people that Rome subjugated, but nobody cares about them because they weren't the leaders whose face you saw, Rome/Jobs was.
See also: Justinian the Great, so called despite having never left Constantinople and all of the conquests attributed to him were actually done by Beli"literally who"sarius. Or Genghis Khan and Subutai, or Augustus and Agrippa.
Yes they are overrated. Han china and Persia were superior.

I heard pic related was actually a pretty good country back in the 60s but then shit happened.
Can anyone confirm? Because when you google "Iran in the 60s" and "Iran 2015" it's like seeing two different countries.
well technically they were

I don't care how much of a shit Shah's rejime was. Mullahs and Basij ruined their nation.
>>1198788
Hmmmm, i wonder why that could be.
It certainly couldn't be because a very popular leader who was doing good things for the country was overthrown by the two most powerful western countries over oil interests (Which is not a conspiracy like Iraq, this is mentioned in the official documents as why they did it), who then gave the power of the nation back to the monarch over the elected prime ministers by making the prime minister a general, and then the more powerful of the two western powers pressured that...

post your cool ww2 pics
How successfully could Japan incorporate into the European political landscape prior to WW2? Were they seen as more legitimate and "Western" than the Ottomans?
Why were Korea and Thailand, two kingdoms in similar circumstances, unable to reach the Western standard and overcome geopolitical white supremacy?
