What do you think of Oda Nobunaga?
I think he was a very admirable person
>people still believe japan's ruling class wasn't white.
That's clearly a white man, and it's sad that anti-white liberals still suppress this information

His ambition is pretty admirable.

Cut to a close-up of Napoleon.
"So you're probably wondering how I got here..."
It all started during the great revolution..

Somebody once told me
See that guy?
*zoom in to tall, handsome man*
No not that guy! That guy.
*zooms in to short statured peasant*
That's me.
What would happen if the Native Americans were the ones to sail to the Old World? What would play out?
They would have had better luck travelling (back) to India via the arctic passage.

They'd land on a well-secured and civilized landmass, the Europeans would trade with them for a bit, and then proceed to sail over to their continent, inadvertently give them all smallpox, and then push the few that are left off their sparsely populated land. So pretty much nothing different from reality.
What if they travelled to Australia?
Native Americans vs Native Australians. Who wins?
How was Napoleon viewed by his own soldiers? How loyal were they to him?
Well considering they went back over to his side during the Hundred Days without a shot fired I'd say they were pretty big fans.
Cult of Personality, la
Even Poles used to shout "Vive l'Empereur!" before charging head-on the cannons.

He could be the most well loved general in history.
Why should I break my addiction to fantasy? Why does truth not exist in fantasy? Why can it not be artificed?
There is some truth in fantasy, but it is an incomplete representation of reality.
Reality sucks, so reveling in dreamworlds is only natural

Natural doesn't imply that it is right, war crimes are natural.
What would have happened to the Allied leaders and generals and key people if Germany had won WWII? Would there have been a "Nuremberg" style of trial or something like that? What crimes would they have been charged with?
>if Germany had won WW2
Literally the only way this could have happened is if they magically got access to nuclear weapons technology by 1942. Implausible scenarios are dumb. Its very difficult to even imagine what an Axis victory would look like.

But what do you think could have happened to the allied leaders and generals and key people if Germany had won WWII?
>>680366
I could see the german high command wanting to keep the western leaders as puppets while hitler would want retribution, it would probably cause an internal power struggle and likely lead to a cold war style scenario happening after hitler's eventual death.
What would Europe be like today if Germanics never existed? Would the Roman Empire have fallen? Would the West-East schism never have happened? Would the Reformation never have happened? Would there have been no WWI or WWII? Would Europe be untied against the Turk?

If Germanics never existed then Germania would have been conquered and romanized with the Romans pushing further north and into eastern Europe as a part of their imperialistic desires.
The Roman Empire would have fell much earlier and to a different opponent. First off, remember that the fall of the WRE was not chiefly due to barbarians, but to a large number of factors. Some like economic issues and lack of men won't happen thanks to Germanics not existing while some like civil wars and incompotent rulers...

Slavs would be in Western Europe
Europe is X10 shittier.
Thoughts on Wikipedia as a reference for history/philosophy?
Should it be avoided at all costs or is it decent enough for getting the summary of a topic?
>>679934
It's fine.
>>679934
Pretty good. Better for science, but okay for history.
Avoid it like a plague. A great majority of citations is rooted in highly obscure, meme authors who are most likely the laughing stock of the genuine academics.
Are wars justified? Do you believe wars contribute to the expansion and evolution of humanity as sentient species in a short span of time? Are there benefits and positive outcomes to war?
We get cool death machines.
