Why was the Soviet Union more willing to use women as combatants? Sure there weren't many but every time I here about female soldiers in WWII they're always Russian.

Because Soviet Union was a true feminist state? Even in modern Russia women are much better than men.
>>
>>1303716
Because feminism is integral to communism.
>>
I don't know, but I would guess it has to do with communist ideology valuing women more in general.

Gonna dump a few more pics.

Lets discuss in this thread what could have gone differently. I picked Willy as thread picture because i think the most intresting question would be a central powers victory. The german Reich was a serious superpower back then and a german victory would have had many intresting implications.

-How would colonialism play out in this timeline?
- What would happen with the countries that formed the soviet Union in OTL?
-In the light of german scientific superiority: What would have changed in technology? Would technological progress have been the same, slower or faster?
- what conflicts would have defined this worlds 20th century?

I am also open to discuss all other scenarios you please. Just refrain from /pol/Posting and anti-german shitposting turning this thread to shit.

> german victory
What kind of German Victory? Did they defeated the France asap and then forced Russia out of a war? Did Italy fight for Germany in this scenario?
>>
>>1303066
I am open to all scenarios, i think a scenario where germany concentrates on russia first while taking a defensive stance against france and then manages to not pull the US in the war is the most realistic. Russia could have collapsed sooner against stronger forces freeing most of the troops for the western front. This would have allowed germany to feed itself with the agriculture of the Ukraine preventing the starvation of OTL.

Well if we take ww1 as it happened and just slap a German victory on it, by saying the Germans reached Paris somehow before the Americans landed in Europe and that the War simply ends there (which is unlikely).

Then there are a few things safe to say.
For one : The Blame of ww1 wouldn't been put on Germany but rather France.
Russia might also be a possibility, but France is just the most likely in all regards.

Another thing is : Germany would be a lot bigger, and I mean a lot, since our friend Willy over here really wanted France's colonies, like, all of them, and had he won, odds are he would have actually pushed for that claim and left France alone afterward.

Now without their colonies, France might suffer from an economic crisis, similar to, but not on the scale of, IRL Germany post ww1.

Regarding the USSR countries - surprisingly, Germany and Russia would most likely hold good relations still, as it was the Empire that enabled communism and funded the revolution.
Stalin might be a problem to friendly relations though.

Chances are also that Communism in general would find a lot more support in Europe, since Fascism would be largely considered pointless with Imperialism still fully functioning, and a lot of people who support democracy would most likely also support some kind of Communism or Socialism , due to the common political enemy of any monarch ever.

As for conflicts, I have genuinely no idea.
Maybe France trying to start ww2 in some capacity with their own version of Hitler.
Who knows?

Can somebody explain to me the success of the Phoenician script?

>Adopted by Greeks and therefore the west (and therefor becoming the "default" script)
>Adopted by Arabs and Jews
>Adopted by Persians even before having the Arabic script forced upon them
Only Chinese Hanzi and Indian Devanagari (and argurably, Cuneiform before the Bronze Age collapse) have had such an influence on their neighbors, and those two were powerhouses throughout history.

What made the Phoenician script origin of the scripts most of the world uses to write nowadays?

Dear /his/, a Mexican friend unironically asked me to tell him at least 2 wars France had won over Germany. Under the pressure, I of course surrendered. But now I'm out of wine and with a little help from my friends, I'd like to answer him. Where do I start ?

Christianity

Jews, having been banned from agriculture (95% of the world's economy) they were forced into "unsavory" professions such as banking (usury was forbidden by the Catholic church), and organized crime. Whenever Christians needed a scapegoat for issues the commoners did not understand, blaming the evil christkillers was always the easy thing to do the same way Donald Trump tells rednecks that all the problems with the U.S is due to nonwhites and nonchristians

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old

There is more evidence for the Theory of Evolution than the Theory of Creation

Atheism as a belief system is just as flawed as any other religion that "has the answers"

Anthropogenic pollution is real and is destroying the atmosphere, by 2030 noticeable changes will begin occurring.

Jesus was most likely a real man (or men), but he was only a philosopher and he did not resurrect back from the dead.

Carbon-14 dating of diamonds is flawed due to the age of diamonds being so old that most of the C14 within them has reduced to levels lower than background radiation making C14 dating of extremely old material (such as diamonds) a waste of money. K-Ar dating will make more sense. Likewise for bogus attempts to K-Ar date volcanic material that is less than a few thousand years old. Radioactive decay is well understood and acceptably precise way to judge how old something is.

Dinosaurs were real.

Homo Sapiens has only walked the Earth for roughly 200,000 years.

Good Luck!

Atheism is the belief of no god or gods, is this not a belief system?

People have actually attempted to C14 date diamonds and say the Earth is only 6000 years old, i agree it is amateur.

Is it true that nearly all European men, before the 18th century, would today be considered pedophiles?

Not pedophiles, most men had no desire to literally fuck a child anymore than to fuck a man or old person, they arent sexually attractive.

But they'd go down to 13 or even a bit younger depending on how soon the girl becomes a woman. Woman basically meaning had her period and getting breasts.

Right, but if you want to bang a 13 year old girl you're literally a pedophile
