Who were Rome's greatest enemies?
>>1081812
The Eternal Hibernian
Carthaginians, Persians, Arabs, Turks, Germans, Huns, but most of the time it was just other Romans.
The Eternal Aryan.
What was the most interesting disaster to take place in human history?
Suicide. Every minute of every day someone somewhere reasons that somehow removing themselves from existence will solve their problems. It's interesting because it also weeds the mentally deficient from the gene pool. Let's be honest- if you think killing yourself is a good idea under any likely circumstances, you're a plain idiot.
>>1089616
How does removing ones self from the living world not solve your problems? Not a great way to solve them, but a way nonetheless.
And not everybody who killed themselves was in mental distress. Did every samurai who committed seppuku have depression?
>>1089624
It replaces all their problems with a permanent existential one with no conceivable resolution- you can't say the same about any mortal problem I can think of. Now I doubt everyone who committed seppuku was depressed, but I reckon most of them had trouble thinking things through.
Who were the actual "Aryans"? Was there an actual ethnic group of people who identified as Aryans?

>Was there an actual ethnic group of people who identified as Aryans?
Germans between 1917 and 1945.
I'm not saying they were hyperboreans...but they were hyperboreans.

Did Hitler ever kill anybody? I'm not talking about 6 million jews or whatever, but I mean personally. We all know he was a soldier, but as far as I've understood he was a courier, bringing messages to the frontlines. Could he have killed someone then? Or maybe during his rise to power or during the war? What do you think?
>Did Hitler ever kill anybody?
Yes, himself.

His Job in WW1 was to run around no mans land, it had a life expectancy of 2 weeks apparently. Hitlers life was spared by a British soldier.
>The story is set on 28 September 1918, while Tandey was serving with the 5th Duke of Wellington's Regiment, and relates that a weary German soldier wandered into Tandey's line of fire. The enemy soldier was wounded and did not even attempt to raise his own rifle. Tandey chose not to shoot. The German soldier saw him lower his rifle and nodded his thanks before wandering off. That soldier is purported...

What's your favorite obscure history fact?
The Bible saying that David took Goliath's sword when he was on the run from Saul. I can't stop laughing at the idea of someone running around Bible times with a buster sword.

>>1081619
Because its a civilization.
Euronigs can only BTFO Native Tribals or Mesoamerican civilizations during the 1500's-1600's.
Also wasn't a priority. They came to Asia to trade.
They tried, actually. Look into the Japanese Martyrs.
Tl;dr Pope and Portuguese tried to overthrow the Emperor/Shogun by promising a group of Christians special privileges as a new native nobility afterwarda. Given that this group became Martyrs you can guess how well it turned out.

The first time they showed up it seemed like everyone carried swords, giving off an air of extreme militarism. All of Europe just assumed any invasion of Japan would be a bloody mess, even as Japan went through eras of disarming its populace.

The Massacre of the Latins (Italian: Massacro dei Latini; Greek: Σφαγή των Λατίνων) was a large-scale massacre of the Roman Catholic (called "Latin") inhabitants of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, by the Eastern Orthodox population of the city in April 1182.
The Roman Catholics of Constantinople at that time dominated the city's maritime trade and financial sector. Although precise numbers are unavailable,...

As a Catholic I always feel a little bit guilty about the Fourth Crusade. It seems to be nothing more than an act of convenience.

Think about the 60-80k innocent Catholics who were slaughtered.
