So /His/ tell me about real life rulers who were the most similar to this fucker. Bonus points if they were both mad and successful.

Why the hell am I supposed to know who some randam guy in a pic is supposed to be?
This guy was absolute madman of his time.

From top of my head, he build the gold statue of himself, ordered to create ice palace in the middle of desert and destroyed all mosques that wouldn't accept his book being a same level of importance to Islam as Quran. Really many modern dictators are crazy as him or even more.
Question about Vietnam War:
as far as I'm aware, the US Forces have decided to counter the guerrilla warfare from Vietnam's side with Search and Destroy tactics.
Which forces, batallions or units were mostly used to do such S&D missions?
Fucking everybody. They would throw entire divisions of something like the first infantry in the middle of nowhere attempting to intercept enemy supply lines. Sometimes you'd see basic infantry divisions fighting in the jungles and the green berets in cities.
>>1408447
The guerrilla war against the VC wasn't the entire war, but anyone on the ground in those areas was used. They were essentially bait. Send troops out, make contact w/ enemy, destroy enemy with superior firepower.
There were no specialized S&D units, at least not until Tiger Force.

>Hit the Poles so hard that they despair of their life; I have full sympathy with their condition, but if we want to survive, we can only exterminate them; the wolf, too, cannot help having been created by God as he is, but people shoot him for it if they can
Didn't that only end up strengthening their resolve to resist Germanisation?
Poor Poland...Everybody hates them, everybody wants to rule over them. It's impressive how their language and cultural identity survived so far.
Even Scotland after 300 year of colonization succumb and wants to remain a part of the UK.
>>1408448
Indeed. Bismarck's clumsy persecution of Poles invigorated the Polish resistance. It also made Silesians and Kashubians, previously wavering, committed to the Polish cause.
Your relationship with your toddler self is vague at best. Were it not for the material formality of cellular continuation, and your ostensible dwelling in it, would you have anything in common with him? You don't think, perceive, speak, or even act alike. You have more in common with a random stranger of the same age than you do with your toddler self. The claim that you are the same person is borderline-absurd. The toddler is de facto dead and yet you live. Not even as something that has grown around the toddler but as a result of full transcendence.
If this was...

All dualisms are conventional/illusory and are eventually and ultimately resolved in the nondual Absolute. Existence is not a thing but a process. congrats you oust refd yourself

Just redpilled yourself*

Ah but you are forgetting that most brain cells are not biologically replaced, and that you and the toddler would share many memories and instincts, so this negates almost all of your objections.
Why is he so smug, /his/?
>>1408206
He lived through all the shit during the late 1800's like Italy rebelling and saw Prussia wreck France and he died just early enough that he didn't see his empire fall apart like his German counterpart.
>>1408206
Because his country was Austrian, Hungarian and an Empire.

out of all the horrible things cromwell did, from the civil war and all the atrocities thereof to the wanton destruction of art and culture (he destroyed what now would be some of the oldest and more priceless pipe organs in the world, not to mention all the religious artwork and literature) he actually ended his life rather humble and moderate. he was practically a george washington †bh.

Is the nazis basically what happens when a bunch of NEET autists get in power?
Yes. And after all the time people continue to be dumb and support highly mediocre people like Trump, Hilary or Obama.
Is there any proof of this or is this just another meme like the 100s of other rumors about Hitler.
He was taking amphetamines though.
>>1407945
No, he was not autistic

Nope
Jesus is the most powerful man of the universe.

What remains of Habsburg hegemony today? I refuse to believe that the strongest family in Europe (for many centuries) just withered away and died.

That's Philip IV
Greetings /his/, can you recommend me the best and most detailed book about the history of Western music? preferably from the view point of a professional musicologist, with explanations about the progress of musical ideas and theory, preferably from the classic period onwards, I'm not entirely sure this is the right board to post my query but as you are the board that's concerned with the history of concepts and my main goal is to research the history of Western music I hope that I'm not making a fool out of myself, if what I ask cannot be satisfied with just...

Was she german, russian or polish?
As a german I was taught she was german. But maybe that is just our national bias. So let's talk about this, I guess.
Also, general thread about minor historic stuff that might be taught differently in other countries.
>>1407302
She's of the House of Ascania, so she was German by birth but clearly associated with Russia.
It's kind of strange that the Royal courts of Europe are more or less cosmopolitan.
Also a lot of German derived dynasties around ruling the Monarchies of Europe.
When was it when the Russian court started speaking French?
>>1407327
>Also a lot of German derived dynasties around ruling the Monarchies of Europe.
Like Britain.
>>1407332
True, Hannover, Saxe-Coburg und Gotha, Oldenburg.
They're all German prots.
I wish the Stuarts were still alive.

>>1407172
It means "Son of"
Ibn Tamiyyah is a western misunderstanding of Arabic naming.
Taqi ad-Din Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah
Piety in the Religion, Praised son of Taymiyyah
I don't know what Taymiyyah means it must be a true personal name not a word

it means ebin :DDDDD
