Hi everyone, my mother gave me this helmet for xmast and it is suposed to be original. I'd like to know if that's true.
The helmet was restored and it seems that it was used.
I'd also like to get more information about it. I guess it is a M35 but I'm not sure at all

What must have been going through the minds of the first Gaijin to meet the fierce but honorable Nihonjin (and vice versa)?
>>516505
"Look son, Barbarians."
Since, you know, the first Gaijin (meaning Foreigner) to meet Japan were the Ancient Chinese and the Koreans. Who both had a low opinion on the tribes who dwelt there.

"Hey look there are still retards that use swords"
Probably
"Holy shit, look how short these little fuckers are. And why are they wearing dresses?"
What's the deal with the KKK? I don't really know much about their history, or how they operated beyond "hated black people and burned crosses". Are there any easily comparable groups in history? Did they really get btfo by a Superman comic of all things?
>>516338
Superman was written by a Jew. Superman didn't defeat the KKK, but it certainly helped cement the idea they were villains and bad guys.
>>516338
I don't really know a lot about them either but there have been several Klans throughout history.
>First
19th century, actual secret society, rumored to be quite fucking powerful and getting shit done radically
>Second
20th century, was created as an imitation of the first one (I think the movie Birth of a Nation was one of the major drivers even), was really numerous but wore spooky ghost oufits, marched, burned crosses and eventually dwindled...

Started after the Civil War by disenfranchised (this requires some explaining: something like 85% of White Southern men fought for the CSA and less than 20% agreed to take the oath required to vote or hold office after the war) former confederates and Whites who felt that their rights and views were not being fairly represented by (alleged, and often actual) carpet bagger politicians and anti-Confederates who controlled the reconstruction South. This extended to defending White communities against blacks who were committing...

Lucian's True Stories were pretty amusing.

>Aeschylus, the great Athenian author of tragedies. Valerius Maximus wrote that he was killed by a tortoise dropped by an eagle that had mistaken his bald head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell of the reptile. Pliny, in his Naturalis Historiæ, adds that Aeschylus had been staying outdoors to avert a prophecy that he would be killed by a falling object.
>One ancient account of the death of Chrysippus, the 3rd century BC Greek Stoic philosopher, tells that he died of laughter after he saw a donkey eating his figs; he told a slave to give the donkey neat wine to drink to wash them down with, and then, "...having laughed too much, he died"
>The deacon Saint Lawrence was roasted alive on a giant grill during the persecution of Valerian.[20][21] Prudentius tells that he joked with his tormentors, "Turn me over—I'm done on this side".[22] He is now the patron saint of cooks, comedians, and firefighters
Why did they fight to keep us in the USA
I bet the Confederate States of America would kick ass today if they fucked off
Well they'd have to abolish slavery at some point, not out of sympathies to the negro, but out of basic economics and the gradual effects of industrialization.
Moreover, the CSA constitution provided the individual states with a right to fuck off whenever they want, so there would be a further atomization of that country down the line over minor differences, probably with a great deal of states re-joining the union.
stop shitposting, take it to one of the 10 civil war threads already here
It'd be too frail to handle the wars of the 20th century, however it would be hella fun to see Europe 2.0. Maybe nasa would be the pope and declare which state isn't giving enough taxpayer money to the space projects, and they'd get invaded. I'd love to kill some police from Ohio, personally.
Oh boy, someone triggered me today. My weeb friend, who is a fan of that Kantai Collection show, told me that Japan's Navy was more powerful in 1940 that the U.S Navy. Furthermore, he said that if Japan didn't have restrictions on its military today, then it could be as powerful as the U.S's. I'm in the USN, so this irks me a lot. I'm not going to argue what the most powerful fighting force on the planet is, but can we agree that no one tops the U.S in Naval Warfare? Also, ignorant historian h8 thread.

This board has a 25 year rule.
>that Japan's Navy was more powerful in 1940 that the U.S Navy
And he cites a cartoon about fucking ships. How much do you believe that cartoons about fucking ships are appropriate sources for comparative naval warfare capacities?
Japan got close to having a capacity...

If Lincoln had just promised a referendum for independence to the southern states and not touched the slavery issue (which he did not give a shit about anyway) for a year or so, both the pro-slavery and state's rights movements would have been appeased, and likely nothing would have happened. Prove me wrong.
Is there any measure by which he was not a terrible President?
>>515620
>Prove me wrong.
Your counterfactual analysis doesn't touch on any of the historical causation, and so is utterly vacuous in evidence.
That proposed without evidence can be dismissed likewise.
I think that's a "mic drop."
>>515639
>*mic drop*
More like *the fact that I am from Reddit drop*
>>515620
The secession of the South was literally inevitable once Lincoln was elected.
In fact, South Carolina held their secession convention immediately after he was elected just because he was a republican, even though he had been stating constantly that he did not wish to abolish slavery.
Did he actually die a virgin?
>>515568
No, he sired at least two Assbabies.
>>515568
It is impossible for a man of such power to die a virgin, unless they genuinely had no interest at all in sex which is practically a biological impossibility.
>>515600
His kids were adopted
Does God owe us an afterlife to account for human and natural suffering?
Sorta. If you play his game by his rules and revere him and live piously and help out everyone you can to make it not shitty, hes gonna hook you up when you die. If you're an asshole and fuck shit up then he fucks your shit up forever.
Paying 10% of your income for one life time inexchange for an infinite amount of time's of happiness seems like a great deal.
I don't see why atheists complain. Religion sounds like a greathing.
>>515543
seems a bit unfair that he made us imperfect, gave us free will, allowed more than one religion to form, and then burns us forever if we don't pick the right one and live by his unclear rules
Besides (relatively) minor details like the calculation of Easter, how different was Celtic Christianity to Roman Christianity?
I am not familiar with this strain at all. Did they butt heads with Rome over doctrinal issues/theology like the eastern Church often did? Or is it pretty much Roman Catholic plus trippy art?
>>515409
Well, they did have different tonsures, which were actually the same style as pagan druids.
I think there was a curfuffle at the Synod of Whitby over it.
>>515409
Celtic Christianity always differentiated itself from Mediterranean Christianity by its less urban-centric character. Celtic/Northern Christian poetry, architecture and art from what I understand shows a greater love for raw, nature from what I've been told.
>>515409
In practice it was quite different, don't know about theologically. Very monastic, fairly ok with paganism. Monks often married, had weird tonsures and did other shit that rome didn't approve of.
tell me everything you guys know about economics and topic related to perfect and pure competition
>>515317
Perfect competition isn't logistically possible
>>515317
Read about John Law for a good economics laugh.
Is there proof that this agency killed Martin Luther King or distributed crack to ghettos?
No but there is evidence that the kgb distributed drugs and taught people how to commit arson.
No but there's evidence that they spread really shitty rumors about MLK like he was a communist and indulged in protestutes.
No but there is evidence that they distribute faulty condoms at quinceñeras to increase stds and the birthrates of latinos.
