Did they deserved to be invaded?
>>1180378
Yes.
It was a shithole and Chinese rule has only improve it.
Just another chapter in Humanity's tendancy towards Imperialism. Unfortunate, and worsened by the fact that communism is hard line atheist, and Tibet was a theocracy
Was this French fuck right about power /his/
He was hardly original. François Guizot said the exact same fucking thing 120~ years before him.
>>1180425
such as?
>>1180460
I'm on my phone so I can't quote easily. But google Guizot on power, it's from his essay on capital punishment.
Why did the US drop all military support for South Vietnam after they pulled out, like supplying them?
>>1180223
You got it wrong: the military presence stopped, but not the Assistance.
Look up Vietnamization you noob.
>>1180223
The United States ended the military involvement in Vietnam with a signed cease fire agreement, contrary to public misconception the war was somehow "lost". The US president at the time made a promise if the North didn't follow the agreement, the US would return, but then we all know what happened to Nixon. After that, US foreign policy shifted in a dramatic fashion away from interests in SE Asia, and the north Vietnamese took advantage of the situation and re-invaded. Had the US gov't wanted to...

The thing about Vietnam is that none of it was ever really the "US's fault". France previously controlled the region as a colony, and their abrupt withdrawal created a power vacuum and political upheaval. When I read about it, watch documentaries, I constantly ask myself, "How much of this was really our problem?". I really don't know, because the Gulf of Tonkin incident was a complete and utter lie from the CIA. Of course, no one but them knew that at the time, but how could we blame tens of thousands at home for being against the military involvement,...

what the fuck was his problem
Crashing this empire with no survivors
He was pretty deluded. There are still people as deluded as him in modern turkey. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time to be able to take action.
>>1180430
there is literally nothing wrong with pan-turkism
I do not know what I am going to immediately do with my life after college. I wouldn't mind living what people consider a minimum wage existence. As long as I live well below my means and am still able to live a comfortable and meaningful life. By meaningful I mean a life filled with joy and happiness, while at the same time still completing those desires that I set out to achieve.
What is your criticism of my life?
how would you say you live your life?
If none of that made any sense or if you clarification on what I have said please let me know. I was the guy posting earlier in other threads about being on drugs. I'm sort of on the come down now. So if any of my spelling or grammar is fucked, please do not hesitate to point it our. I need to learn from my mistakes.

Well philosophy is a humanity and this board is called History & Humanities, so I want to see how the posters on this board lived their lives and I want to discuss what is the Ideal Life?
>>1180182
Eat your vegetables and wash behind your ears. There.
>those red army soldiers
Jesus they really did look like savages
>>1180028
Those savages also happened to be the decisive land force in the Allied Victory of WWII.
You can mock them all you want, but they fought and died in droves so you could have the ability to shitpost about how they look 60+ years later.
>>1180052
>Those savages also happened to be the decisive land force in the Allied Victory of WWII.
Your point?
>>1180028
Honestly they look pretty good for people that had been fighting for literal years on end in hellish conditions. But yeah, a lot of them were deeply affected by their experiences and were pretty fucked up and bent on revenge by the time they reached Berlin, hence all the horrible that happened there (which the Germans did first to the Ruskies).

I'd like to see some other gorgeous coins from history.
In my opinion, these see the most gorgeous coins America's ever minted. Thoughts?
Not entirely related, but I haven't spent euro coins in the last five years. I just love them way too much, especially commemorative 2€ coins
>>1179953
>I just love them way too much, especially commemorative 2€ coins
Yeah commemorative coins are fucking awesome.
Coin collector, I don't have all these but they're on my list one day. I love colonial coins, or ones from unusual historic periods.
First modern Saudi coins were US gold bullion.
What stopped the Mongols?
Themselves

What is the difference and relation between God and Reality?
Is Reality a cration of God, is God himself, is it only a part of him or just an expression of his being?
That depends on how you define the term reality. If you define it at as all that is material and noetic, then God is above reality. If you define reality as all that is material, noetic and divine, then it includes God.
>>1179405
Define divine and how can God be limited by something.
>>1179397
There is some sort of thing which basically is the word for "everything"
You can use whatever word you want to describe it: universe, reality, you can even make up your own word.
The point is that God would necessarily be in this, anything you could think of would be.
From than on you can divide the "everything" into categories. You can have one category be material, one be immaterial, one be supernatural, whatever man. God would be in some of these categories but not others.

What was life like for a medieval monk? Why would someone want to be one?
Basically the same for Orthodox monks today, depending on the technology permitted (many monasteries prohibit electricity except in the visitor area).
> Why would someone want to be one?
In the Middle Ages? Well for one thing, it's the major occupation if you want to be an academic, plus the reason of today, which is that you are called to be one; if you just want to devote your life to contemplating God, full-time, it's really the best way to go.

>work on farm, die tired with a broken body
>read book and get fat
pick one
>>1179271
I don't think most monks could get fat, at least if Middles Ages Catholic monasteries are anything like the Orthodox ones (which involve regular fasting and meager portions except on feast days). I know Aquinas was fat, but I would imagine he was the exception, unless the RCC really went down the toilet after the schism.

What is the genetic composition of African-Americans? They don't look much like native Africans so I guess there took place some significant breeding between the negrows and the whuaits down south. I'm no /pol/ so no bully.

Why do americans not like saying Black? Why do they have to ham it up with 7 syllables?

He's specifically talking about Africans living in America, retard.
