I know next to nothing on this topic, when did it happen? How? Why? etc.
I know a little bit about this but not much.
i know the introduction of firearms was instrumental to the shift in power between the Muscovites and the nomadic horse archers who previously predominated. After muskets came along suddenly the nomads couldn't just pepper their enemy with arrows from a safe distance, which was basically the only arrow in their quiver, so to speak. The Muscovites used standing wooden shields that they'd shelter behind. They also used their wagons if they were travelling in a convoy, circling them and firing from behind them. Essentially...

It is important to note that Siberia has an incredibly low population density. When Peter the Great started taking all that land in the East the intention was not for permanent settlement but rather to get the natural resources that were valuable at the time. Colonization is a natural result when you have people gathering resources just to make the process easier, but Siberia is a pretty shit place to live so it was not exactly a big thing to go start a settlement there like it was for North America.

There were no nomadic horse archers in Siberia. Siberia is forested. They conquered the steppe much later.

>"Blessed be God's name? Why, but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled. Because He caused thousands of children to burn in His mass graves? Because he kept six crematoria working day and night, including Sabbath and the Holy Days? Because in His great might, He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death?

Post your favorite philosophers/economists/scientific theorists/people who write words to describe theoretical concepts
Pic related is David Ricardo, his Principles of Political Economy book is much better than J.S. Mill's, and shorter as well.
Not even catholic. I just think he was 100% right about human existence, society, violence and politics.

Slavery was organized and promoted by europeans in the western hemisphere between XVI and XIX centuries. It was not an "accidental" event of modern economic history. It was a crucial event of the first historical moments in the formation of world capitalism and of the primitive accumulation of capital in the UK. Between the XVI century and 1888, more than 14 million people, mostly out of western Africa and the gulf of New Guinea were ripped off their communities and deported to the european colonies in America. This "black cattle" allowed for the expansion...

Maybe this huge fucking continent should grow a pair of fucking balls and do some shit themselves for a change

How were they subservient?
People like the Mandinka, Somali, Ashanti, Zulu, Ethiopians, and the Shona fought like hell against European encroachment.
Gold Coast slaves were cheap because of their irritable, stubborn, and proud nature.
Biafraian people were known to kill themselves rather than kneel.
