I've just had to listen to two of my mates going on about how Islam is shit and how it ruined the Middle East and nothing good came out of the region since the people became Muslims.

SandNinjas and oil jews isnt that bad. The middle east is currently really tryhard with their government and may have 15 thousand gdp per capita 20 years from now. Right now its 5k, one fifth of united states gdppc.

Portugal has frequently attempted to gain possession of the coastal forts in Morocco.

At least 6000 Portugese (At least half of which were knights) attempted to seize Tangiers from the Moroccans in the 1417.

In 1471 the Portuguese deployed 30,000 men and at least some heavy artillery.

The last major conflict, Ksar El Kebir, saw the Portugese amass an army of some 18,000 and 40 cannons.

Definitely self-defense.

before jumping to conclusions, is there anything to explain why he expelled? And was this policy forced on others as well?

I don't understand people who claim Jews are always to blame for being exiled or punished. Christians chased away and repressed pagans non the less, and yet stormfags go on and on about European traditions in regards to paganism.

The germans didn't have as much colonies as the brits and the spanish. The colonizing of the new world was a priority of those two and the french rather than the germans.

Which, of course, if someone can explain what led to this? Why germans didn't conquer so much teritories as the others?

Germans had nowhere to go but east. Baltic is cold as balls. Half of Europe is modernized becuase of Germanization eastwards by Austrians, Prusians, etc.

Spain and France were the biggest colonisers of the Latin countries and both were into that game quite early and they were relatively centralized.

Germany didn't exist, Austria had to deal with the Ottomans. Poles, Swedes and such had to deal with Russia and each other.

The only 'germanic' people with access to the Atlantic were the Dutch and English really and they absolutely flourished.

When will this meme end? Mali wasn't "the richest country", the king of Mali was the richest person at the time, because the rest of Mali were busy mining gold for him. They had no real economy except, well, gold mines.

It's because many view his (and other's) work as simply a self-improvement guide in a 'how to get alpha' style.

It's been appropriated as self help by people who have The Art of Manliness as their homepage.

It's like people who call themselves nihilists because 'hurr durr le universe is really big, lyfe has no meaning' while still caring about wearing nice clothes and getting laid.

Except that's not true at all.

At all.

Nietzsche doesn't mind you choosing certain morals, he just wants you to choose them from strength, not from weakness.

Partial remains of 15 other skeletons were also found and are believed to belong to victims of the same attack. The group included the skeletons of at least eight women and six children. A fetal skeleton was also found in the abdomen of one of the female skeletons.

"The ... massacre may have resulted from an attempt to seize resources – territory, women, children, food stored in pots – whose value was similar to those of later food-producing agricultural societies, among whom violent attacks on settlements...

An interesting theoriest, but I think he's over-applied myself; a lot of the stuff he talks about, like the primary strategic implement being the army itself, and not the population base, held true for pre-industrial warfare but doesn't work so much in a modern total war framework.
