Do pictures like this call the alleged racist nature of the german regime into question
>>1224887
No, because Hitler never frothed at the mouth for the extermination of "colored people". He was a European and a German nationalist, not a filthy American KKK member obsessed with race.
>>1224887
No, it shows the hypocrisy of it though.
>>1224887
It's just realpolitik.
Why did they fail?
And why didn't we engage in a similar way in the Chinese Civil War to keep another giant nation from falling into the hands of communism?
>>1224864
>Why did they fail?
Because by and large, the Whites were composed of the same incompetent boobs that made up the government for the Czar.
>And why didn't we engage in a similar way in the Chinese Civil War to keep another giant nation from falling into the hands of communism?
If by "We" you mean various western powers, we did. It wasn't enough, like in China.

Reds were backed by God.

God is on the communist side.
Hence why at this rate Castro is going to live to Methuselah's age.

How did modern Greece end up so fucked?
Will it ever become a modern prosperous nation state?

Modern greeks aren't the same as ancient greeks
>>1224582
There's no more Greeks, only Hellenized Turco-Albanians.

Literally every genetic study done on the topic says no
Why does everyone hate him?
Reading on him I'm starting to realize that he wasn't a bad emperor at all. Maybe a bit more strict than the others, but still, he was a completely sane and competent man who wasn't motivated by self-interest and did the things he did for the sake of the Roman Empire.
Why do people always group him with degenerates such as Commodus, Caligula, Elagabalus and others? I think he deserves better.
>>1224504
people only hate him because he was the first black emperor
>>1224504
>Why does everyone hate him?
His disdain for plebs makes them feel inferior.
>>1224504
I hate him because I look exactly like him.
My buddies bought me a copy of that bust on that account.
How exactly did segregation start in America and why were there so many laws passed that kept non white people like this in fear during that period?
>>1224503
>How exactly did segregation start in America
Post Reconstruction
>why were there so many laws passed that kept non white people like this in fear during that period?
Because blacks were poor, spoke funny, and were seen as inferior because of their skin color. Plus when a black man committed a crime, it was a huge deal and would get people very angry and upset.
Were there any other countries that had something like the Segregation laws during that time period? I can't help but feel like America was the only place doing messed stuff like this
>>1224514
>What are Jewish Ghettos
Also Northern Ireland is still essentially segregated.
Are popes just a christian adaptation of Pontifex Maximus?
>>1224278
Popes are literally called pontifex maximus. Bishops are pontifex
>>1224278
I've never seen a pope build a bridge.
>>1224278
Literally, explicitly yes.
Was WWI really a pointless war?
Pretty much. But at least some shitty empires collapsed.
No.
How can a war be pointless?
No.
Shit was going to blow up anyway
A saw a post by someone I know on Facebook, saying how there are more slaves and human trafficking today than ever before in history. I've heard this before too, however I'm somewhat sceptic. If true, is that not possibly because the population of the world is like 7 times the size it was during the most slave-intensive periods of the 16 to mid-1800s? Could it be that the percentage of slaves worldwide is far lowe than it was historically but the overall number of people is higher?
Well you could argue that people who have large debts, are slaves. So if you accept that, then there are more slaves then ever today, yea.
>>1223970
>debt=slavery
Welcome to /his/ everyone.
>>1223968
It's shifted, you won't see blacks out in fields anymore but you will see them in diamond mines, and women in whorehouses addicted to the drugs their captors force them to take
Worst president of all time
>>1223223
3rd worst.
>>1223223
Nah.
Reagan led to the repealing of Glass-Stegall, Nixon committed treason to get elected (which made all of his achievements during his presidency amazing because of that alone), and we can't talk about Bush Jr and Obama because of the recency rule.

How could operation Barbarossa be successful?
Empower Ukrainians and recruit them to be part of the Axis
never happening to begin with
At first it was. Poor execution in later stages with absent critical supply lines and appropriate environmental gear made it languish and ultimately lose inertia.
>How could operation Barbarossa be successful?
"Not being a tertiary front" would have been a good fucking start.
Recommend some great history movies or series please...

How to spot a pleb. Just watch pic related.
Mongol is good
You can watch Kurosawa, Ozu for an idea about the effects of war on Japan.
They sadly do not exist in the quantityI would like.
>>1223114
I like I Claudius too, so I guess it's pleb too now.
How similar is pre-1066 Anglo Saxon/Old English to the German/Jutland Danish it derived from? Do we know distinctly which dialects aside from Frisian from which it is derived?
I know for fact that the Angles, whose name is carried on in the name England, came from the Holstein region of historic Denmark/Germany, now Germany, called Angeln. So naturally we can tell that there is both a heritage and linguistic connection with that area specifically. Furthermore there is of course the central connection between Old English and Frisian.
>>1222771
It didn't derive from danish, jutes were german, danes were a different tribe
>>1223138
Jutes were from Jutland... which is in Denmark, and always has been.
The most famous old English tale, Beowulf, takes place in Denmark and the protagonist is a Swede.
>>1223955
Yeah but they weren't a Danish tribe.
Was the Battle of Jutland one of the most important moments in history to behold?
I mean the british navy rule over the seas had been unchallenged for over a hundred years, since Nelson defeated the franco-spanish navies at Trafalgar in 1805 nobody had ever dared to face the Royal Navy. It's like an undisputed champion that reigned for over a hundred years and suddenly on May 31st 1916 the German Hochseeflotte set sail to face them. Imagine being an 80 year old in 1916, your whole life no one had questioned the british supremacy over the seas, and then you get to...

So in your mind one navy going out to fight another navy is literally the most important moment in history? Because one of the navies happened to have been the largest in the world for a while?
>>1222434
The undisputed most technologically advanced fighting force for the last 100 years, who no one had ever dared to fight against, finally being challenged by a force which could really give them a fair fight? I think it was a pretty badass moment to witness, so yes...
>>1222465
But even if the Germans had won, the British still would have had naval supremacy.

Next friday (june 10th) We're launching our historical RP minecraft server based around 1900 AD.
It is a historical rp server with plugins to help with immersion. Players make nations and these nations can trade, make treaties or alliances, and go to war with one another for land and glory. We're paying for our own board which we use for discussions regarding our server.
There will be a set amount of historic nations that can be claimed by groups of players prior to launch. All nations will have their historic borders already...

Whenever this book is brought up it seems everyone breaks down into arguing without exactly saying why they agree or disagree with the contents of the book.
I am genuinely curious, why do you agree or disagree with this book?
>>1222079
Most of the drama over this book occurs from 2 things: the book claims that geography is responsible for everything and people don't understand domestication.
He focuses on a limited range of factors (and says that this is what he's doing) and people get mad because he didn't talk about there favourite factors.
