What do you know of Moldova's history, /his/ ?
>>64285
rightful transnistria clay
>>64285
I am left with the impression that it was part of Romania that Poland wrestled away to be her vassal.
Note that I have never researched anything on it, and am just saying what I think of it without any proof or research.
Also I know they dont have any sea access, which is pretty funny considering their location. Even worse than Ethiopia.
>>64285
Transnistria is there, thats about it.
Does /his/ like the Russian Civil War? Did the Whites lose because they were that corrupt and unorganized? (well, more so than the Reds).
They lost because the inexorable laws of history were against them you goddamn reactionary.
>>64083
The Whites had no internal unity. It was a very loose coalition of warlords, Tsarists, Social Democrats, Liberals, Democratic Socialists etc. They found it hard to co-operate. Compare this to the Bolsheviks who had a very authoritarian and centralised system making it quite easy to organise. They also had the benefit of having no obvious foreign sponsors, so they looked like patriots in comparison to the whites who had support from many foreign powers.
Have a propaganda poster from the civil war.

Does anyone else go to renaissance faires and feel a sort of Sehnsucht for those times? It was an age where the men were men and the women were women. You didn't go to Wholefoods to get a double-triple-organic granola bar. You just went up to your local bar wench and got a big old turkey leg that came from the town you got it in. While you drank your ale in the tavern and ate your turkey leg, bards would perform and sing the tales of valiant heroes. You could even BECOME those heroes, if you were strong enough. You didn't have to "network" to succeed back...

You should watch Midnight in Paris, that movie's message is specifically for faggots like you.

Also this, where and when do you think the term has originated?
Infidelity has always been a thing, especially
among the upper classes where it was seen as a normal thing to have side-sex.
Why were the Romans so terrible at making maps? Pic related. Its ca. 40 BCE.
A better question would be "how were ancient people so gifted at making maps?"
I look at maps of the americas from 1600 or so and wonder how they surveyed so accurately.

There's no way that type is from 40bc.

Its a reconstruction of an actual map

Pre history is welcome here as far as I am aware
Post battles between - at first glance - unlikely enemies.
Pic - Battle of Capua 1348, Hungarian forces occupy Naples.
This has to be the most famous example, right?

the only unlikely thing there is that the chinese actually won a naval battle.
Is there a historical figure more ridiculed than Hitler?
Napoleon maybe?
Don't know about other countries but we got WW2 national/holiday songs making fun of Mussolini.

Pretty good tune too.
What made post-war America (late 40's through the early 60's) so much better than now? Crime was lower, standard of living was higher, Americans had more money, etc.

Its 1953, Stalin just died and you are elected General Secretary of the Soviet Union

Go full space communist.

I've had this debate with my friend a few times, so I'd like to know what /his/ thinks is more important to the development of warfare: the sword or the spear?
>>63336
first 3 rules of warfare
range
range
range
>>63336
Spear...duh. Warfare has always been dominated by 2 things. Numbers and range. If you can reach your opponent, but he can't reach you...you'll probably win. This is why we ditched spears for guns as well, and why we're now destroying our enemies with robot aircraft that the enemy can't see or hear.
I posted this vid in another thread, but it's relevant here too.

Pike beats bill.
Bill beats sword.
Spear.
Even the Roman legionnaires, with their sword&shield combo, still depend on the range and shock of their pila
also against knights- err, cavalry.
Why should I love/hate this guy?

>invading Russia was a mistake
Please stop with this meme.

two great powers tried twice over
the second time the starting line was closer to the goal
why is this not a mistake
>>63290
"A little over two weeks in, some 300,000 Russians had been captured. But then, in a fatal miscalculation, Hitler paused to divert forces from Army Group Centre to the south towards Kiev. The delay proved disastrous, stalling the attack on Moscow and forcing the ill-equipped German troops to fight in one of the worst Russian winters ever recorded."
Without that stupid mistake, and without the whole attack being delayed by 5 weeks because Germany had to invade Greece after Italy wasn't able to do the...

And then what? Moscow had nothing, it was of no significance to the Russian government. It was pretty much destroyed with all vital shit for the gov. and the war taken out, right? The whole idea of taking the capital and winning the war could not apply to WW2, and moreover a country that large.
Was Maoism necessary to modernize China like some Marxist historians claim?
Could it have been done by the Kuomintang? At least it did that to Taiwan and far less deadly and perhaps more effectively than the communist party did.
>>63219
the kuomintang did their fair share of killing in Taiwan. It's development is mostly due to Sun yat-Sen, not Chiang Kai-Shek
>>63219
Yes
Russia as well
>vast majority peasants
>becomes super power Cuz industrialiation after collectivising shit and trading resources for capital
>>63411
Sun Yat Sen never set foot in Taiwan, considering that it was a Japanese colony from 1895 to 1945. Unless you are implying that Japan did most of the modernizing that occurred in Taiwan. I guess there's some truth to that.
