MOHANDAS GANDHI WAS IN FAVOUR OF AGGLOMERATING PEOPLES INTO AN HETEROGENEOUS NATION, ALONG SOCIOPOLITICAL LINES, EXPECTING INTERNAL CONFLICTS TO RESOLVE BY THEMSELVES VIA THE PREPONDERANCE OF A MAJORITARIAN SOCIOPOLITICAL CONSENSUS; ID EST: DEMOCRACY, OR TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY.
MUHAMMAD ALI JINNAH WAS IN FAVOUR OF SECESSION ONLY AFTER RECOGNIZING THAT THE RADICALITY OF IDEALISTIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO MAJOR GROUPS WITHIN THE NATIONALISTIC MOVEMENT MADE THEIR MUTUAL CONFLICT VIRTUALLY UNSOLVABLE.

Before Vienna: Poland at the zenith of it's power
After Vienna: Poland disintegrates and gets split
If the Ottomans took Vienna, it would have forced them into a war with the Germans, since they had to reclaim the capital of the Unholy Barbarian Confederation. Eventually the French would've stepped in so save the Germans, leaving both Germany and Ottoman Hungary weak and ripe for picking.
Saving Vienna seems like a retard move in retrospect.
>>1100519
Yes, 1683 was a huge mistake for Poland.
Not only they got betrayed by their fellow catholic brothers, but also partitioned by the ones they saved.
>inb4 TWASN'T JUST POLAND xdXDDD
German troops died like flies, Sobieski took charge quiete literally and commanded to victory.
German troops stopped fighting to just see the Polish charge on Ottomans.
>>1100519
>Before Vienna: Poland at the zenith of it's power
Also to add more, not really.
1683 was after Swedish Deluge and Cossack uprisings, so it was pretty crashed at this moment. Charge in Vienna was the last show of power by Polish state.
Also, there will be shitton of Prussiapros, germanboos in this thread any second.
The French would not help the Austrians. Actually, they helped the Turks by moving their troops to the frontier, forcing the Austrians to divide their forces and to not have the help of some western members of the Empire that had to be guard against the French.
The French would not have defeated the Turks, if the Turks managed to conquer Vienna.
Wikipedia is very informative
Seriously though how is there no reliable consensus for battles this big
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chaldiran
Because there was no reliable census, there can be no reliable consensus.
Even back in the 50s my grandfather was able to lie his age to get the Korean war. Bureaucracy and people charged with counting big numbers sucked donkey dick until very recently in history.
Even today we have trouble knowing precisely how much traffic there is on the road, even with cameras everywhere. Why would someone in 1514 be able to look at a maelstrom of murder and know how many bodies there were?
Pic related. How many people live on this street?
>>1100511
I like the idea of one or both sides employing people to go around and count how many dead bodies or lost equipment there was after a battle. That seems pretty comical to me. It's like they sent in the army, so now it's time to send in the bureaucrats.
Turkish sources would be the best one.
If one converts to a religion purely out of fear of consequences in the afterlife, would that person be welcomed by God?
>>1100281
1. Why would someone not belonging to a certain religion be swayed by the concept of afterlife of that certain religion to which he doesn't belong?
2. Any religion that relies on fear, obedience, and tradition-based customs, is not spiritual, and therefore it has no relation to God.
>>1100295
Apologies, I should have been clearer in that I was referring to atheists and agnostics, and not practitioners of other religions
>>1100297
The same still applies, idiot.
>The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals.
What did he mean by this?
He meant this isn't history

>writings from 1925
>not history
But man has always been of mixed race. The strong have always been mixing with the strong and the degenerates are left to breed with degenerates. This is how all lifeforms breed and evolve. Just like we see today with shitty people living in shitty areas of the world, being shitty and poor, simultaneously the great people live in the great areas of the world and are rich and prosperous. This is how it's always been and how it always will be. We are all "mixed" race and have always been, it's just that people tend to mix with people who are of a similar disposition....

What do "spiritual but not religious" or "I believe in a life force" mean?
Experiencing states of mind similar to those described in religious texts, while not believing in the supernatural.
if you hear that then you're talking to a white person
I'm too cool for established religions.
Hi /his/
I'm 20 years old and am very much irreligious. But I can't identify as an atheist because I do believe in some higher power.
Anyways, I was raised as a seventh-day adventist and I wanted to know if anyone had questions or so forth.
I may not know the answers to some said questions if they're related to the Bible. I didn't pay close attention to their context as a kid, other than a few obvious things.
Personally, I don't think they're TOO special. Apparently they think so though-- so that's why I thought I...

Do you still keep Shabbath?
Do you believe in creationism?
>>1100173
I don't. Neither of those.
But SDAs believe in those two things.
Did you grow up near people that tolld you the pope and jesuits are a part of some grand conspiaricy?

More important question, why did he have to be killed through the means of the USA and Belgium

nice thoughtful opinions

They're not opinions.
You communist retards are so fucking pathetic you have to venerate people who never held any power because any communist who ever held power turned out to be a complete fucking disaster.
The same thing applies to Sankara. Fucking commie nigger dictator. Glad he's dead.

Realistically, how good was the Republic of Venice at War throughout its history? At its high point could it have been characterized as a military superpower for its time period? Obviously they were much more capable Navally, but what about land forces? Why did they end up losing to the Ottoman Empire so much when they engaged, despite performing incredibly well against other forces? Pic related.
>>1099925
Venice is historically a failed state, it was born from escaping to the swamps from the germanics who overran rome and much of italy.

>>1099925
You tend to not want to mess with its Navy for one thing. Also among the Italian city states, they had a proud tradition of civic militias fighting for their state.
Unfortunately they bit the Mercenary Meme and their ground forces declined because of it.
