Most effective wall in all of humanity's glorious wall-building history.

Hadrian's wall is better
>>542641
Hadrian's Wall isn't what you think it is. It was little more than a glorified border crossing. Britons from north of the wall would cross it every day to trade with the local auxiliary garrisons.
What do you think about the Islamic Empire ?

What do you think about the german Sonderweg theory? (represantative historians: Winkler, Dahrendorf, Wehler)
It states that Germany, unlike other Western countries, was successfully industrialized, but was still ruled by absolutistic rulers (German Empire), which caused German foreign politics to be ruthless and is a cause for the Great war. This also lead to anti-democratic tendencies in the Weimer republic, which was then replaced by Nazi-Germany.
Discuss and share your thoughts
Every country has their own Sonderweg. It's a useless concept.
>>542436
This. It snowflakes Germany by generalising every other country. It achieves nothing.
>>542436
>>542444
Thats a common and valid argument against this theory.
However the thing which seperates Germany from the UK, France and the US is the astonishing success of industrialization which happened in a socially backward country. In coutries with comparable systems like Russia, industrialization wasnt even remotely successful.
How much east African heritage do African Americans have, or are they exclusively of west African and European descent?
Some not insignificant number of slaves to the New World came from Mozambique, but I don't know how many of them ended up in the modern US.

Depends on the amount of Fulani heritage they have
So...well erm...why do you not just kill yourself?
>>542354
Because being is ultimately more satisfying than not being.
>>542354
Thats not history.
>>542360
Satisfaction is in the bourgeois concept that met us at the dawning of the Universe?
Where does your satisfaction exist?

What is the most perfect and enduring legal document in human history and why is it the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights?
>>542343
"Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence and deem them like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment. I knew that age well; I belonged to it and labored with it. It deserved well of its country. It was very like the present but without the experience of the present; and forty years of experience in government is worth a century of book-reading; and this they would...

Thomas Jefferson said many things in his life, many of them contradictory and many of them not very intelligent.

Why is Pinochet so vilified when his regime was relatively undeadly compared to 95% of Marxist regimes? Is the Left just a propaganda mill or was he actually that bad? And what's this I keep hearing about helicopters?
>>542284
You have already made this thread.
So i guess that you only want to remake your circlejerk?
>>542289
I didn't make that thread, and I didn't read it when it was up.
Pinochet is more significant in the West because he would not have come to power without American help. This is considered a betrayal of the United States' self-declared values.
Pinochet is associated with helicopters because during his rule murdered political dissidents would be thrown from helicopters into the ocean or Chile's lakes and rivers.
However, this is somewhat of a meme; only a small fraction of Pinochet's victims were actually killed in this manner; the Process in Argentina killed significantly more this way.
Hey guys I ended up in a sticky situation with a time machine. What's the easiest way to kill a viking pls m8s. Dubs decides what I do with their ship if I win.
>>542169
>What's the easiest way to kill a viking pls m8s.
a single viking? Gather a small army of around 100 people and equip them with the finest weapons and armor you can find, you may stand a chance. If you're trying to kill a viking beserker then you're going to have a really bad time and you may need 400-600 men.

How would the world look like without Christianity? Would it truly be a better place? I'm an atheist but I'm not so sure about it on one hand yeah Christianity did plenty of bad things but so did pagan religions let's not pretend human sacrifice wasn't a thing and that christianity didn't abolish plenty of fucked up practices then again some other religion or philosophy would propably do it as well. To think about it let's say Christianity never existed and some other religion would become a dominant one in Europe do you think it would abuse it's...

Why would you want to avoid Gothic architecture, stained glass, musical notation, and spectacles?
Oh right, it's cause you're a stupid pleb.
>>541945
The fall of Rome would probably have a harder effect on Europe when warlords have less religious unity or and pagan religions that encouraged warfare.
Zoroastrianism would be the main monotheistic religion, unless Islam still rises without Christian influence which is certainly possible if Jews still exist.
If Islam still forms Europe is fucked.

I like how this is the only example people have when they say all nobles were inbred.
