>Unironically committed war crimes
There's no way the south would be on with a Sherman presidency
How come the south never reverted towards guerilla warfare when it became obvious they were gonna lose?

There's no such thing as war crimes

Give me historical events in which incredibly difficult decisions had to be made, wherein all options sucked ass
>>1148209
Napoleon III having to decide between declaring war against Prussia and getting probably his shit pushed in as his army wasn't ready, or at best loosing thousands of men , or letting the Prussian gain hegemony within Germany and Europe as a whole. Both options end up with you being played by Bismarck.
Why did the late Roman empire have such trouble raising armies when they could raise them seemingly at will during the middle Republican period, when the empire was essentially just Italy?
Increasing reliance on mercenaries and barbarians.
Aswell as instability, corruption, etc.

Did they really used this huge Aspis-like shields at the time?
>>1147518
Yes.
can this armour be usable in real life ?
>>1147284
I think it's too small to fit a real person
Armor for ants? Maybe in ant warfare.

What are cases of people just suddenly getting it and pretty much blowing everything we knew out of the water.

Now you've done it. There's this one guy who will soon (give it few minutes) post a huge list of youtube links which according to him proves he is right and everyone else is wrong.

No one really suddenly gets anything, but they definitely do get all the credit.

When I was a kid, I went to private schooling (not the most prestigious one but still a rather good one where some kids had parents with Porsches, but not my family) and my parents were raking in around 200,000 USD before taxes, and not accounting benefits too. I'm not American but we'll just estimate using US currency.
My mother made me learn violin (hated it), I did sports, went on my first plane ride vacation for two weeks when I was about 14, and I live in one of the richest areas of my country, but nowadays my parents only make about 150,000 annually....

Are you autistic
How do I learn history?
I want to become more knowledgeable of European, middle eastern, American and African history so I have a better understanding of current events and why things are happening now.
Are documentaries and youtube videos enough?
>>1145700
John Green's Crash Course videos are all you need
If you want to be "more knowledgeable" then yes, documentaries are enough.
I would not recommend most youtube videos as they will be of wildly varying quality (moreso than documentaries).
Alternatively, try schoolbooks or history books.

this is good for an overview of world history, it gets a lot of shit on /his/ but it's very accessible and entertaining. He has 10-15 minute videos on a range of topics, starting with the beggining of human history and going up to the present day. If any particular topic he covers catches your imagination you should dig deep in it - read books etc. Bear in mind that Crash Course videos are very short and skim over large time periods of time, but it sounds like you sort of want an overview up to the present to...

Hey, /his/ so I'm finishing up my high school senior paper/final for my humanities class and I'd like to hear some ideas and thoughts from you guys. The topic of my paper is "The Importance of Free Speech & Expression." The last thing I need to write is the counter-argument section. So what are some reasons why some people may oppose free speech today?
tl;dr Why is Free Speech bad?
>>1145656
Do you seriously expect us to do your homework?
You have to listen to the stupid shit others think and say
>>1145656
Free speech is hate speech, holocaust deniers are allowed to brainwash people etc. Go get that A+.
What is the biggest ruse in history?
I'll start
>Trojan Horse
The Holocaust.

>not being able to handle bantz
Pathetic.
Checkmate, Pascal
But the Hindus dont even have a concept of the after life.

>What is reincarnation
>>1145289
reincarnation is to get purified and unite with..umm...the big omnipresent God behind everything. If you are a good little christian you get karmic brownie point. So, it\s not checkmate.
If it is possible, is it ethical to create an artificial consciousness?
Only if it is constitutionally incapable of feeling negative emotions. Or maybe if it has a high positive/negative emotion balance.
No.
Educate me about Hassassins. I know that they existed and that they killed people, but I have no idea how or why.
>>1144830
Split off from mainstream Shia Islam in order to set up their own little independent state, realised they'd be destroyed by the powerful Islamic empires next to them so turned to assassination of political leaders in order to make themselves seem less viable for conquering.
Eventually killed a bunch of crusaders as well and slipped into Western cultural consciousness. They show up regularly in Renaissance era work, but kinda fell out of style until some writer at Ubisoft, glad he got a job with his useless...

That explains their existence but why did they stoped existing?
OP be careful, you might wake up with a dagger under your pillow.
