Are grand strategy games the most /his/ form of entertainment?
As far as making you think as a ruler and giving you real problems of the period, then yes.
I myself like AC II, M&B (with anno domini), Medieval II: Total War, Crusader Kings II, and Pirates! (for C64). Pic unrelated

Hi /his/
I'm an emotionally stunted 28 year old that has done nothing but play video games all his life. They bore me incredibly now though, and I've tried to take up reading as a hobby. I'm incredibly ignorant of world history though, and feel like I can't properly conceptualize some of the stories I read from other time periods. What are some good resources for me to be able to get a good foundation of human history?
Age of Empires I, II and III.
Europa Universalis III and IV.
Civilization V.
Crusader Kings 2.
Total War: Empire; Napoleon; Shogun 2; Rome; Medieval II.
Call of Duty: World at War; Black Ops.
Battlefield: 1942, 1943.
Victoria II.
Wargame Red Dragon, Airland Battle, European Escalation.

I don't like to play video games any more, anon. I also wouldn't know whether to trust their historical information.
Then just read a fucking higschool history book.

I found this in a stamps collection.
Is it true?
No.

How often did this happened?
So when and where did Afro-centrism come from? And what was exactly the sort of epiphany that caused the person, or group of people, to legitimately believe that nonsense? What kind of mental gymnastics did they employ?
It's an American thing, don't bother
>>672085
i don't understand why afrocentrism is always negrocentrism
it's as dumb as americentrism not being injuncentrism
Afrocentrism or Afrocentricity is a movement that started in the early 20th century and came to its modern form in the 60's as part of the civil rights movement in America.
It's core is that it believes black contributions to the world have been written out of history to downplay their significance and that black culture was hijacked and replaced by white culture.
Obvious inspirations for this are the views of Malcolm X who felt that African Americans needed to remove themselves completely from the white dominated culture of America and reclaim their...

How the hell did America lost against rice farmers?
>>672053
Bad PR caused by fighting rice farmers.
>>672053
France lost. America just walked away because popular opinion turned against the war despite the army inflicting humongous casualties on the ennemy.

Did high-ranking knights wear such decorative armor into battle or was it strictly for events and ceremonies?
Why would that armour not be used?
most armour was built to be used otherwise it'd be a huge fucking waste.

>The majority of Americans believe that the Soviet Union killed 50 million of its own citizens
Why do people do this, /his/? Why is it considered okay to flat-out lie and make shit up about a country so long as you disagree with their political ideology?
>>671936
The Soviets killed Millions of people(So did "Civilized Western" countries like France and England) but yeah Russia would have a far smaller population nowdays if that was true
>>671938
Yes but the thing is if you look at actual declassified documents from the Kremlin you see the number killed is actually 3-4 million (about 2 million from gulags, anywhere between 600,000 to 1.3 million from various purges) throughout the history of the Soviet Union
But why do people look at this and say "No they obviously must have killed at least 10 times this amount because, yknow, propaganda or something. You can never trust those damn commies!"

Is it possible for man to commit a selfless act?
Define "is" "possible" "man" "commit" "selfless" and "act."

is it just me /his/ or are history lessons nowadays pro-islam biased?
I'm talking about krautschool history primarily.
/pol/'s "Merkel's NWO agenda" please fuck off,
I wanna know whether others also notice this
>>671886
Of course they are. The same people advocating the illegal mass immigration of Muslim men are indoctrinating your children's mind.
>>671886
More like we are removing the old bias against Islam that used to plague historical discussion for centuries, and still does in some places.
Also, nice biased propaganda image. It really drives home your post.

Well with all the incest fucking caligula and nero instituted it was all over the place. It was nigh unknown prior to Aninan Corpullas Cinna and his consulship

Why is there so little historical contact between China and the Indian states?
They had a war in 1962...

The trek from India to china was actually quite treacherous, you would have to march your army across a dessert

A little thing called the Himalayas in the way.
What are some good contemporary philosophical works? (Contemporary as in, within the last 10-20 years)

How does Plato's theory of forms address subjects such as religion, particularly the Greek pantheon of gods during that period?
I only ask because I really want to discuss this question, but haven't had the chance to read Plato's dialogues.
>>671270
Uh, hard to say. With respect to the existence of a god or of gods, there's a discussion in the Republic wherein Socrates offers something like his views, and the Timaeus where the title character offers a "likely story" (literally "likely myth") that offers an account of a godlike being called the demiurge (literally "craftsman" or "worker for the people") who makes the universe by using the forms as his models.
That doesn't really quite get at some of the perplexities...

platos forms had more to do with the egyptian gods than the greek ones, due to Plato being educated in Egypt for 13 years under the Horite priest Sechnuphis.
