So they say that Satan is very deceiving. So what if he deceived all of humanity by writing the bible and pretending to be God? What if the real God's plan was to stay secret until after death to bring everyone to hell, which is the actual place of paradise, but because Satan has deceived us, he tells us we want to go to heaven, which is actually a place of torture?
yeah dude. WHAT IF

Declared total war on the World for muh lebensraum and revenge for WW I when in 1939 they had more land than in 1914. They got austria, they got bohemia, almost all of versailles punitive measures were abandoned. They did know where to stop.
If Germans were civilised people and not barbaric teutons appeasement would've worked.

Pitch a show, movie, play, book, game, or whatever else that will bring historical themes, people, culture, or events into popular culture. Something that resonates with normal people and not just autists on 4chan.

You get sent back in time. The Roman emperor's chariot goes past and the emperor is one of those crazy ones who kills people for the bants.
Luckily his smartest advisers are with him. They are the smartest Romans alive. If you impress them then they'll tell the emperor to spare you. You have 60 seconds to impress them with your 2000 year advantage but they have to find it believable. What do?

Draw a map of the Mediterranean (a very basic but recognizable design that they could understand it to be).
Using Christianity as an example, whether or not it's actually happened yet, use symbols to display the spread of a cultural ideal throughout the Empire, complemented by charts to show the conflict between the different levels of Roman society and how it contributes to said idea's spread.
How familiar were the Romans with algebra?

Do pop historians help?
>>797576
We can't. The modern society is one of simplicity and clarity. No one can focus on anything for too long because they'd rather be enjoying other pleasures, and even then they'll go off again soon.
Not only do pop historians not help, but that's why they exist. They simplify history to such an extent that it's easy and clear to understand without any controversy or intrusion necessary, so the people can get the satisfaction of believing they've learned something without actually putting...

This. All pop historians do is give uneducated people a smug sense of knowing the "real" history behind something, and it's always based on gross oversimplification. See: Jared Diamond and John Green.
>>797767
Jared Diamond is certainly a pop historian, but his work would be fine, though admittedly pretty low-tier, for the academic environment had the pop histories not jumped on his work simply because he tried to explain as many things as possible throughout history, meaning you only had to read one guy and feel like you know everything you need to.
Why did socialism never catch on in the American South? The main reason that the South got completely fucked over before, during, and long after the war with the North was that the Southern agricultural, individualist economy couldn't compete with the production levels of the Northern industrial, capitalist economy. So why is it that Southerners historically seem to be much more geared towards capitalism historically, even though it was the system that ended up rendering their way of life outdated and degraded?
Precisely because they pretty much had to get dragged kicking and screaming into capitalism. They had to adjust to that before anything, let alone go Red.

Alberto Barbossa was a very lucky ruler who came to power right after the other world powers were devastated by the hyper war. He expanded their power despite Portugal being the poorest country in the world. He called himself "source of all moorish wisdom" or just "the source". Due to a 0% literacy rate in Portugal he wrote in Finnish, and signed every letter "t. Albert Barbossa" due to "t." being the Finnish abbreviation for "source".
was Nazi Germany's economy North Korea tier or superior to our own?
Fucking neither you fucking cunt.
A lot of the economic good that happened after Hitler became Chancellor, were from Weimar Republic reforms.
Deficit spending to build up industry. Would have panned out if they could actually export goods. though war sort of killed that.

I've tried to do a lot of studying on it for legitimately academic purposes to get behind what exactly Nazi race doctrine propaganda was at its core, but it's been a very hard task for a few years now, looking through books from back then and now. Naturally I ignore essentially every stormfront-esque website because they're all just radical fanatic outcast idiots, and because I don't care for racial supremacy - but I'm intrigued by the German usage of it as propaganda during WW2.
As far as I can tell, "Aryan" is the word the Nazis introduced...

This map by an American eugenicist apparently was of great influence to the Nazis in determining their Nordic/Aryan/Germanic master race.
>>796734
Aryan referred specifically to Germanic people.
Thing is, you should not take the nazi racial theory at face value because it was filled with inconsistencies and honestly, in reality it was seldom more than a justification for massive population removal and transfers and a justification for the German interest of pursuing their age old "Drang nach Osten"
