How different would Christianity be if humans were the size of ants?
>>319228
Fuck you
What kind of fucking question is this?
>>319228
You had to ruin a good question by saying Christianity.
I am more interested in how humanity would be different if we were ant sized.
It's a lot more land but i guess to scale the entire earth to use now is like one African country to an ant.
Napoleon takes the Grande Armee into SE Europe to remove Ottomans. Instead of marching into Russia and winter.
Could he have removed kebab from Europe?
Would UK, France, Russia, Prussia, and the Austrians behaved themselves?
>>319210
Why the hell is he atacking Ottomans now?
That wont solve his problems with Russia, the Britain or Iberia.
>>319210
No.
That's like attacking a cripple while a dozen Navy Seals with 300 confirmed kills are pounding on you.
>>319218
>That wont solve his problems with Russia
Actually it would have
Russia were fighting the Turks too, so it could have created links between them and France

>Forasmuch as there are certain persons who kneel on the Lord's Day [Sunday] and in the days of Pentecost, therefore, to the intent that all things may be uniformly observed everywhere (in every parish), it seems good to the holy Synod that prayer be made to God standing.

Imagine if these people did something useful instead of using "God" to justify their authority.

What would India be like if it had never been colonized by the British?
A literal turd

Either Maratha confederacy still or Indian clusterfuck. Nationalism wasn't a big deal in state borders outside Rajput and Aryan-Dravidian divide

What does /his/ think of Hetalia? A lot of weebs I know claim to have learned everything they know about history from this show.
>animu
The English dub is more accurate
>>318910
If you already know a decent amount about history, it can be funny seeing the creator's opinions on countries combined with animu tropes.
It's more dignified than Polandball at least.
dear /his/, /asp/ here
we do Historical European Martial arts, or historic fencing.
We research historic european manuals about all sorts of old martial arts and train them.
You might have seen vids like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zueF4Mu2uM or saw something from schola gladiatora on yt.

>I assume other styles of swordsmanship like Japanese would be welcome to?
Sure, why not? Also, how can some friendly hema enthusiasts get a test match with some JMA practicioners?
Daily reminder that the "Polish corridor" had majority Polish population that would take arms if not made part of Poland outright.

Lyotard famously defines the postmodern as 'incredulity towards metanarratives,' where metanarratives are understood as totalising stories about history and the goals of the human race that ground and legitimise knowledges and cultural practises.
Is he the only coherent post-structuralist there is?
Is the meta-narrative just taking the mono-myth and trying to apply to real life? We fictionalize life and turn it into a story about a heroes triumphing over and restoring light to civilization.
>>318660
Foucault and Derrida are perfectly coherent. If you understand Lyotard you should be able to understand them.
This is post-modernism.

Can you tell who is behind it?
Are wars beneficial to the economy? Is it a necessary evil?
>>318598
I think war can give a society a much needed boost or burst of vigor.
If ww3 occurs all these pansy men may disappear culturally.
it creates needed economic growth, however too much spending can make a country go under
>>318615
But don't you have to spend the money on developing said military technology? Increasing the consumption is only necessary in crisis times.
Hello, I was redirected here from /k/, I'm an artist looking to discuss the Ottoman Empire, mainly the weapons and armor they used. Bonus points if it's within the late 1500s-1700. With enough help I could draw some stuff.
I can't tell if they influenced East Europe or if East Europe influenced them, in terms of armour.
>>318587
The Ottomans adopted a lot when they started becoming an Empire. When they fought with Europe, gunpowder did enter their arsenal.
An effective military society/caste (depends who you talk to) called Janissaries arose during this time. They were men taken as children from Christian families in the Balkans and the Middle East. They were trained to be strong Islamic men, and fought against the various enemies of the Empire.
>>318597
So to answer this, Eastern Europe was not so much an influence. If you count the Balkans as Eastern Europe, then yes the influence was great. Modern day hatred between the various Balkan groups came from Ottoman cleverness. Remember those Janissaries? Well, the Ottomans would deploy, say, 1000 Serbian Janissaries against Albanian targets.
The locals began to mistrust one another rather than their overlord. A brilliant tactic really.
The Ottomans learned the power of gunpowder from fighting larger European powers over the Balkans and parts of Eastern Europe
