It's a ROME GENERAL. Filthy Punics, Greeks, Gauls and other ancients welcome, but only if you post "AVE IMPERATOR" in this thread. "Kingdom" of Armenia not welcome.
This thread smells like /pol/

Literally the BEST patriarch, GOAT tier. Only Trajan can compete.
>>61877
Friendo, when you have a hammer, all you see is nails. /pol/ did not invent Rome, Romulus did. I suggest you go back to your mudhut scythian.
Tell me about the Seljuks and the other Turkic clans of Anatolia they split into
they BTFO byzantines with half the force at Manzikert and established a huge caravan network that enabled people under control to trade, get rich, and increase in population, which led to a huge population increase which eventually was the reason ottomans became so successful
their architecture was also absolutely fascinating

get in atheoBROS!
ITT
we list all the miseries that religion brought upon our civilization (the crimes of the church, bigotry, anti-science attitude etc. etc.)
we imagine how the world would look now if the religious cancer never existed
would we be already on Mars? on Pluto?
>>61660
how is this shitposting exactly?
there are many theist threads on the catalog, can't atheists have one? this is disrimination, atheophobia
>>61686
So long as you don't mind atheism being considered a religion, okay.
I'm gonna dump my images folder. I don't know where most of these are from, so let's make it a game. Provide some context!
Pretty sure this is the car JFK was shot in
What was the best unit of Napoleonic wars, and why were they Polish Lancers?
>>61297
Objectively the French artillery units.
Was always partial to the French Grenadiers and 42nd Black Watch desu.

Swords are some of the most culturally important weapons in history.
Ergo ITT: Post swords
Swords only
Long & Short.
Shit that hovers between sword & knife is welcome as well

would I be legally charged with murder/manslaughter for taking action? if not then sorry buddy
Nothing

When in doubt, just flip a coin.
Hello /his/, I got a nice little riddle for you.
The scenario:
In 1915 an Englishman who we'll call John wakes up and goes to buy newspapers. He comes home and looks at the headline reading:"German pilot, World War One war hero, shot down near London". He scratches his head thinking:"Wait, what"?
So it's your job to find out what's wrong with this story.
>>61092
It wasn't called World War I at the time.
>>61092
>So it's your job to find out what's wrong with this story.
London didn't exist until 1926.
>>61092
The shit range of early war biplanes?
>Blacks were slowly integrating into society peacefully in the 1960's
>Along comes black nationalism and fucks it all up, leading to the divide we have today
>Black Nationalism was lead by the Nation of Islam (Malcolm X)
>Nation of Islam was primarily funded by Libya
>Libya was recently taken over from US hands by a military coup, so they hated the US
Is the Nation of Islam the cause of divide between blacks and whites in the US?
Did the USSR motivate Libya into funding the Nation of Islam in order to destabilize the US?
>>61082
No, it was a symptom. Blacks were massively treated like shit at the time, and every single aspect of the NoI was basically a backlash against white racism. Like, off the top of my head, the whole thing about Yakub making white people out of monkeys was because of whites, including academics and preachers, at the time were constantly comparing black people to monkeys.
Really, I find the NoI really sad. It's dumb as balls, but I can't even really be mad at it or anyone who started following it. It was an absurd, racist cult, but it came about and gained whatever influence it had because of absurd, racist circumstances.
>>61082
nation of Islam was founded by some middle eastern immigrant decades earlier.
cia imported crack and guns into black neighborhoods

Hi, can someone recommend a comprehensive history book? Something like Will Durant's work, but more actual
is Guns, Germs, and Steel any good?
>>61079
This explains... like everything about how ignorant this board is.
No.
Do not watch that fucking show.
You will actively get more ignorant.
>>61353
It's written by a non historian who thinks he knows better than historians, and basically all of it is wrong.
It is, however, super interesting.
Read Charles Mann's 1491 and 1493 instead, if you want to know about the same subject as it relates to the Americas.
Objectively the greatest strategist of all times?
>>60849
No. He was the poor man's Genghis Khan and Genghis was a once in a generation genius.
>>60891
Fagus Kahn would have gotten btfo by Alexander with period implements. He would have probably gotten btfo even without period implements, because after one skirmish Alexander would have implemented saddles and the like
He was a total pussy. Never personally fought in any of his battles. Ran over tiny villages and butchered unarmed peasants
>>60891
>Genghis Khan
>Conquered vast amount of shithole wastelands noone wanted anyway and a Chinese Empire suffering from internal crisis
>Napoleon
>Conquered almost entire continental Europe in the times when nationalism actually existed
If anything, that would be opposite.
What happened here?

Was the automobile the worst thing to happen to American society? America would be a much better place today if we didn't scrap all of our streetcars and interurbans for highways.
>>60019
no
>>60019
Fuck, some anon posted a great link to this a while ago, but now I can't find it.
Anyway, the Eisenhower Highway System, while officially for defence purposes - was primarily to increase consumption and usage of cars, before that there existed a pretty good public transportation system.
The public transport was also bought up by several car manufacturers at the same time - when we also see a rapid decline in it's usage. While this was later considered a cartel agreement - the one who confiscated it was the same Eisenhower.
>>62528
You're probably thinking of the "great streetcar conspiracy," which was actually proven to be a legitimate conspiracy by GM to end existing streetcar service in major cities and replace it with buses (made by GM, of course) and highways.
There's a good thread about this on /n/, the transportation board.
