Why did the US support this guy again?

>Why did the US support this guy again?
You can't make Americans support perpetual warfare if there's no boogeyman.
Haq creates those boogymen.
Muh Communism, as usual.
Constantine Palaiologos... had a hard life

Who is this person I just stabbed? Oh well, probably no one important.
t.Turk
Byzantium will rise again!
>>418447
There's probably more chance of the Turks outright buying Greek land at this point.
I don't see why people have a hard time accepting that a historical Jesus would most likely look like this rather than as some germanian or a sub-saharan African
>Jesus wasn't black

>sub-saharan African
Please leave
>>417800
Historical accuracy scares Christians.
Take for example that fact that all historians can agree on is that Jesus was baptised and crucified.
So, is it true? Could the Native Americans have banded together and kicked out the white devil?
>>417433
I'm sure if reports came that native savages ransacked colonizers, the colonizers would send actual military to dispose of them
but if the natives were successful, the colonizers and would-be colonized would form a shaky pact.
I'm not sure if they'd be the super power they are today, but the native americans would be a global force nonetheless, should they survive
Unlikely but maybe, however it really doesn't matter, the natives hated each other and would've never been able to join together enough to chase the colonists out. If they did manage to chase the Euros away I'm not so sure that they could have become massively important nations but they definitely wouldn't be anything insignificant

Dude, they don't even have the wheel.

No, you are literally from the stone age. Deal with it.
Hey /his/ Whats the difference between Proto-Indoeuropeans and Indo europeans?
>>416844
The 1.0 release
IEs: Indians, Poles, Germans, Italians, Iranians etc
Proto IEs: a single ethnicity
>>416859
Were Indo europeans the first settlers or was there someone before them? For example in eastern europe?
Has organized crime existed thru out human history?

Well yeah, pretty sure Jews can be dated to 600 BC at the very latest.

So, tell me about tenochtitlan and why it's the best city ever.
>built in the middle of a lake on top of the water somehow
>no plagues

>even Spaniards were amazed by its magnificence

You know, I would really respect Mexico if they spoke Nahuatl and stopped acting like Spanish culture is thier indigenous heritage.

Tenochtitlan was cleaner and more populous than London at the same time period, they also had chinampas which were floating gardens that could yield up to 7 harvests per year.
They also came up with the idea of transporting food and materials via canals (something only until the industrial revolution was implemented in Europe) which is why they never really had the need of beasts of burden and wheels.

>nahuatl is the only indigenous language in Mexico
Spot the retard.
Why did Japan attack the US in Pearl Harbor?
What was the point? Why not simply continue conquering china and stuff?

America's embargo on oil, they either wanted revenge or to bully America into lifting the embargo. It was probably the stupidest move any nation did during WWII desu.
>>411359
>muh oil
They needed oil. Modern militaries need oil. America was by in large the leading supplier of oil. When America stopped selling oil to Japan they were fucked. Only two places in the area had oil, Indonesia (Dutch owned which will protected by America and Britain) and Siberia which will lead to the Soviets kicking their shit in and invading China directly. So they need to fight America to get their oil back to continue invading China and the rest of Asia. So they made the best...

Also, they hoped the Americans wouldn't go total war, but would be afraid to commit to massive retaliation. They might have known that they would lose an all-out Pacific war in the end, but were hoping that the US would be afraid of the potential losses of such a war, even if they were victorious.

What did she mean by this?

She wanted to order a DQ ice cream cake for all the plebs. The ungrateful bastards had to go revolutionary because the delivery guy was late.

>he fell for Rusing Rousseau's joke
When will people ever learn? If Rousseau wrote it, it's false or retarded.
>>410975
She meant that she came out of her mom's ass instead of the customary opening in the vagina.
Places names.
I always find interesting the history and story behind how places, cities and countries got their name.
What are the histories behind various countries and places names?
I'll start with The United States of America. America was the continent's name the country was in, names after an explorer. After several colonial states united and became the country called The United States of America.
Terra Australis
The Land Down Under
And also if a place has multiple names like Nipon/Japan or Deutschland /Germany share how each came and how the discrepancy happened.
I'm from the UK
The UK is actually called the United Kingdom, and it's called that because it is one kingdom that has united several regions. We call it UK because calling it the United Kingdom is long.
Does anyone have the rare pee pee poo poo of the Hannibal Barca Pepe standing in front of a casualty list of the Battle of Canae?
Also, Carthage general, I suppose. I find Carthage one of the most fascinating of the ancient civilizations. Would have been interesting if Rome and Carthage had both survived the Punic Wars and went on to become rival superpowers for millennia

>Would have been interesting if Rome and Carthage had both survived the Punic Wars and went on to become rival superpowers for millennia
Basically the UUSR and USA except instead of the Pacific as a boarder it's the Med
>>423118
And it would have culminated in an ancient WWIII around 400-500 AD when both empires were growing weak due to corruption and needed one last hurrah to restore their glory.
God damn that would have been an historian's wet dream. At least to me it would have been
>>423107
Furthermore, I believe Carthage must be destroyed, to be honest
Were dogs ever used in warfare, or wolves. I would think they would make good anti cavalry troops. Also general animals in warfare thread
man that seems like a stupid idea it would be a huge waste of time to train the dogs enough to actually work well in a fight and even then you couldn't be sure
>>421410
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogs_in_warfare
So the Huns and romans used war dogs. It says they used them as scouts. How could you use them as scouts
