Why did Stalin give the Armenian region of Nagarno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan?
Why didn't Russia help Armenia to take back Nagarno-Karabakh during the Armeno-Azeri war of the 1990's?
Who cares?
Same reason Tajikistan's borders are fucked. Divide and conquer. Also Russia's economy was down the shitter in the 90s while its army was occupied fighting Chechens.
>>531779
>its army was occupied fighting Chechens
And Moldovans.
And Georgians.
And Tajiks.
Armenians and Azeris just took care of the fighting part themselves, so Russia now supports the weaker side in order to make the region permanently fucked.
Armenia is basically encircled by enemies with zero perspectives but Azerbaijan can't resolve conflict with Russia backing Armenia.
what is /his/ opinion on Saladin ?
Muslim scum, but not terrible Muslim scum, apparently?
he was black
Overrated as fuck compared to Khalid bin al Walid.
Why are the Abrahamic religions so anti-homosexual when so many other cultures were nonchalant about it?
if you're gay you can't have kids to spread the religion to
They're all closeted, just check them cardinals and their cardinal sinz

Cause religion is about banning stuff.

Why were Christianity, Islam, Buddhism successful as major religions? Why is the vast majority of Europe Christian and not Norse/Roman/Celtic, for example?
On a similar note, why has Hinduism remained so strong as a religion?
the reasons for that question can and have filled books
even the gist of those reasons would be enormous

Living forever in paradise sounds good to people with short lifespans and live in complete hellholes

Ceasing to ever suffer sounds good

Good theological frameworks supporting them, large canons of texts etc.
Julian the Apostate was trying to fit Roman Paganism into a neo-platonist framework -- shame he died before it could be finalised.
What are your thoughts on the Boer War concentration camps, /his/? War crime or justifiable under the circumstances?

War crimes and international justice didn't exist back then so no.

War crimes certainly did, go watch Breaker Morant.
Why France had so much influence in the middle ages ? The Capetians were one of the strongest dynasty in Europe and managed to put their relatives on the thone of Hungary, Portugal, Sicily. But it's not just the royal family, the university of Paris was the most important, and Paris itself was the biggest town in medieval Europe. Gothic architecture was created in France, the crusades were mostly french, the Normans who invaded England culturally french, the duchy of Burgundy became one of the most important in Europe. Even the pope was defeated and then they stayed in...

Romans build enough infrastructure there to help them become the top dog.
>>531265
So what happened to Italy and muh Byzantines?
>>531269
Well Byzantine was the top dog for long before France, until it fell to different religion. And well Italian towns (Venice, Florence, Milan) were really powerful, but because nobody managed to unite these city states (because they were so powerful, nobody wanted to succumb under rule of anyone else) they eventually lost the quantity>quality war.

How will historians see us 50 years from now? 100? 1000?
>>531183
Who's us? This past decade will be seen as the time of the "smartphone"/technology revolution when technology became smaller, faster, and more powerful.
>>531183
Historians don't work that way mate. History has existed since the early 19th century with works like Ranke. Given the history of ideas there are two outcomes: either history fades as an intellectual fad, or it transmogrifies into something we cannot expect to know.

I am looking for /his/ sources on something that matches the following requirements:
>Female historical figures (or groups)
>Pagan rites, religion, theology
>Possibly late 14th, early 15th century, when the Christianization of Europe was almost completed
>Germany or Eastern Europe.
In other words, I was wondering if there is any source of pagan practices linked to the "females" of which we have notice.
>>531053
Europe was entirely Christian in the 13 century besides Muslim Spain.
Also women doing what?
>>531058
Please be helpful.
>>531061
Hey man... you forget witch hunting... and there have been pagan rites in southern Italy as far as 20th Century (see, e.g. Ernesto de Martino's ethnography on the subject matter).
Wizardry, witch-hunt was a thing... it was part of christianization.
I believe a lot of pagan practices survived for a long time in Europe. I am sure some of you have done research on the subject.

What is the /his/ view of Napoleon?
As a British person I think he shouldn't have been denied free travel within the British isles (As he was when he was captured, due to worries about his cause gaining popular cause among the peasants and such), because given what he believed in I feel he should have conquered the British isles.
The world would be a better place had we not won the Napoleonic wars desu.
The thought of a Napoleonic Europe honestly gets me rock fucking solid
>>530696
Same desu
The defeat of Napoleon was a victory for reaction and Conservatiism, it set back the whole of the 19th century in terms of social progress and civil liberties.

Krauts got hanged but all the Kraut scientists got swooped up in Operation Paperclip.
The same thing happened here, the American military granted all the physicians immunity in exchange for all of their research and findings.
Who knows how much of Unit 731's research has permeated the medical sciences of today.
