Ultimately he was too concerned with trying to join the nobility, and failed to realize that no matter how many battles you win, it will not grant you respect from the aristocracy.
What revolution was more important, the french or the american one ?
While the french revolution seems more symbolic, the american one was more successful.

This, you can't just say what one is more "important" without stating what it's specifically more important to.

Diriliş Ertuğrul is a Turkish historical adventure television series that takes place in the 13th century and centers around the life of Ertuğrul, the father of Osman I, founder of the Ottoman Empire and focuses on the kayı tribe.
With the Mongol invasions, oppression and slaughters, Turkic tribes flee from Central Asia. The Kayi tribe is one of Oghuz Turkic people with four hundred large nomad tents settling in Anatolia. But they get through a difficult time due to famine. All these nomads want to migrate to a better place where they can start a new life. Suleyman Shah is the leader of the Kayi tribe and his two sons Gündoğdu and Ertuğrul are reliable to him.
Ertuğrul is a young brave man and the younger son of Suleyman Shah. He often goes hunting with his three close men. One of these days, they come across prisoners taken by the knights of the Knights Templar. Ertuğrul and his three men save the lives of a young girl named Halime and her family from the knights and kill them all. They bring them to their tribe without knowing their true identity. Halime and her family belong to a noble family of the Seljuk Empire and were to be executed if Ertuğrul did not save them. Due to the fear of being caught, they do not reveal their true identity. However, their arrival brings new difficulties to the Kayi tribe: the Seljuk Empire is threaten to have war if they do not let their guests go and the Knights Templar is seeking for revenge. For this reason some nomads start to blame Suleyman Shah for not being able to be a good leader. This suits up well for Kurdoğlu, swore brother of Suleyman Shah, who has a hidden agenda. Suleyman Shah takes action and sends Ertuğrul on a vital mission for finding new land. For this reason, Ertuğrul and his three men go to Aleppo in order to make an agreement with the Sultan. They set off a chain of events that ultimately will lead to the founding of the Ottoman Empire.

>Laima is a Baltic goddess of fate. She was associated with childbirth, marriage, and death; she was also the patron of pregnant women.One of the most important duties of Laima is to prophesy (Lithuanian: lemti) how the life of a newborn will take place. Sometimes there was only one Laima, while in other cases three laimas would give often contradictory predictions. The final pronouncement would be irrevocable and not even Laima herself could change it

The bible is the greatest history book ever. What is his favorite story from the good book?
>>36097
>The bible is the greatest history book ever.
30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”
33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” 35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
36 So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.
Are there any documentaries about WWII that acknowledge the fact that Nazi Germany started the was together with Soviet Union, fighting side by side and that both regimes were just as brutal and that Soviet alliance with the West proves that the war wasn't a simple good vs evil case?
It seems that most modern documentaries are ashamed of that and usually ignore anything involving USSR before 1941 or talk about some bullshit "lesser evil."

Based on the book '1939: The War that had many Fathers' by Schultze-Ronhof, a recommended read too.
>Ronhof talking about the varous diplomat records leading up to WW2, painting a more accurate picture of what happened based on then contemporary government recordings ( including the German, English, American, French, and Soviet governments), rather than relying on questionable Nuremberg Trial Evidence, or anecdotal evidence
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=553&v=HBLgZAv_Iqo
>Notes on The German 'White Book' containing the diplomatic information Ronhof uses in his work:
https://archive.org/download/GermanWhiteBookOnPolandLastDaysBeforeWwii/GermanWhiteBookLastDaysPolishCrisis.pdf
>Explanation:
This video is very important, as anyone can go and view these sources he cites to translate and read, housed in government archives.
Ronhof sets the context for the pre WW2 period properly, by examining the facts about German re-armament (the fact that the combined non-reserve military forces of the neighbouring countries on Germany's borders outnumbered Germany's army 12 to 1 in 1933. Ronhof also qualifies this by explaining that Belgian, Czechoslovakian, Polish, French, and Latvian troops had already come into German territory during peacetime, violating the various treaties that were signed).
Ronhof also explains that from psot WW1 to WW2, Europe was never free of localised wars and tension between many European countries. Ronhof rightly details that in this period, Poland and the Soviet Union had a war, Poland and Lithuania had a war, France and Italy had territorial disputes, Denmark and Norway had territorial disputes, Italy and England had territorial disputes, Yugoslavia and Austria had territorial disputes, Germany and Czechoslovakia had territorial disputes, Hungary and Czechoslovakia had territorial disputes,Poland and Czechoslovakia had territorial disputes, Spain and Italy had territorial disputes, Italy and Albania had territorial disputes.
Part 2:
The consideration here, is that we are often not told of this context so it makes the German territorial disputes seem worse or somewhat done in isolation, when this is entirely not true.
Winston Churchill alludes to the legitimacy of the long standing Danzig corridor debate in 1932, in a speech:
"The removal of the just grievances of the vanquished ought to precede the disarmament of the victors. I hope I have made that quite clear. To bring about anything like equality of armaments, if it were in our power to do so, which it happily is not, while those grievances remain unredressed, would be almost to appoint the day for another European war—to fix it as if it were a prize fight. It would be far safer to reopen questions like those of the Danzig Corridor, and Transylvania, with all their delicacy and difficulty, in cold blood and in a calm atmosphere and while the victor nations still have ample superiority, than to wait and drift on, inch by inch and stage by stage, until once again vast combinations, equally matched, confront each other face to face." - Winston Churchill, 23rd November 1932. - http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1932/nov/23/debate-on-the-address
For those that do not know, Hitler proposed to Poland that economically, Danzig should remain a part of Poland, but politically, it should remain a part of Germany. Hitler requested an autobahn from Germany, to Danzig, citing the previous routes that were destroyed post-WW1 that helped both Poland and Germany economically. Hitler offered Poland the Memel region which had been recently annexed by the Reich, in exchange for a route to Danzig. In 1939 Hitler proposed an ultimatum as the superpowers were intentionally not intervening to help Hitler with this humanitarian crisis, in most cases, refusing to believe the legitimacy of the crisis.

Now lets make a good thread.
How could Switzerland remain neutral in World War 1, World War 2, and the Cold war?
In WW1, and WW2 some other countries also wanted to be neutral, but they got invaded and shit on.
Now a days Switzerland isn't even part of the European Union.
Why is Switzerland among the richest countries in the world?

During the World Wars Switzerland exported weapons, ammunitions and other goods to all sides of the war.
Not only that but the Swiss banks since the world wars towards this day holds the money of many governments and companies all over the world.
Please do NOT respond if you have not read the above sources or have some good knowledge on the subject matter. I am not voicing my opinion here, I am just asking questions (wich hopefully we can discuss in a civilised manner). In any case I want you to think for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

Why is there a stegasaurus carved into a 12th century Cambodian temple?
>>35669
I don't know, you tell me.
>>35669
doesnt look like a stegosaurus. the head is very different. maybe they reconstructed/did guess work from some bones, or maybe it was a different species of lizard that is extinct now. i love alternative history theories, but there is no way that such a recent temple would have a dinosaur on it, even if they did copy earlier sources.
>>35669
That looks like a stegoceratops.
