Why do people say that Sub Saharan Africa never had civilizations, let alone advanced ones? Many had huge cities with cultivating learning centers, large populations, and a standing military. I'm not saying they're as advance as the ones in Europe and Asia but they're good regardless.

Can someone recommend books/sources from a German's point of view regarding German soldier/SS ideology and training? I don't care if it's pro nazi, I just want a different perspective and I want to understand what made the man move.

What can /his/ tell me about languages?
This picture suggests quite a lot.
>>1174415
There's quite a lot to say; you'll have to me a little more precise about what kind of info you want.
>>1174415
A language is a dialect with an army and a navy.
>>1174415
nobody on /his/ has a clue about language.
If the middle-east and North Africa were never Arabized/Islamized would it be a lot better than it is now? Would a Christian Middle East have flourished post 1600s the way Europe did?
I wouldn't bet on it.
Eastern Europe was also Christian, and they didn't do nearly as well.
It seems that whatever happened in Western Europe to propel them to greatness, it was a particularly unique phenomenon.
I'm personally betting on republics.
>>1174404
No. No . No
The Middle East isn't poor because of religion. Remember whites law of energy before you start oozing out stupidity.
What religion they followed really doesn't matter.
But what if God exists outside of Logic?
>>1174343
If God exists outside seemingly every form of human understanding, why believe in God? Or at least, why believe anything specific about God.

Can someone educate me on the British conquest of India please.
I've never heard of any large scale battles that took place.
Who are the British generals which took power? How did Britain do it so seemingly easily?
Thanks
>>1174304
Mughal and Maratha India had become a bunch of small princely states after all the fighting, which made it easy for Britain to divide and conquer.
Someone feel free to correct me but I'm pretty sure it goes something along the lines of the British set up small factories and communities then worked with the rich Indian landowners to extend their will in a process that involved make the caste system much more rigid and closer to the modern interpretation in order to have a wider labor force kept down by culture. Something like that in a vague sense
Checkmate atheists.

>Dear Mr. Skarlakidis,
>Thank you for your email dated 31/1/2010. I believe I can be of assistance to your worthy project.
>For the last thirty-five years I have been working with Experimental Fracture Mechanics at the Physics of Strength of Materials Laboratory of the National University of Athens and I believe wherever there is no scientific explanation, there is a miracle.
>I have no reason to doubt the Munich Library manuscript dated to 1634 which gives an account of the miraculous manner of the rupture of the column as well as what ensued: that the Greek patriarch used this Fire to light his candle. I do not believe it is possible to doubt a miracle and especially where there are related accounts.
>By examining the fracture from the photographs, we could conclude that it is a result of combined pressure: a combination of electrical discharge (probably a strong lightning bolt) and a large seismic tremor. The electrical discharge, due to the high momentary temperature, embrittled the material in the column down the length of a narrow area (origin). The surface seismic wave put pressure on the column resulting in torsional oscillation (fatigue). This simultaneous pressure resulted in the fracture beginning at the base of the column and continuing upwards in a zigzag course (as it appears in the photograph the course of the fracture is not linear) along the length of the area made embrittled by the electrical discharge. If the above indeed occurred, in my opinion this simultaneous combined pressure of the column remains inexplicable. Therefore, one could speak only of a miracle.

Wait I thought science was the flawed knowledge of man
I don't get what the it's saying?
That a unlikely coincidence is a miracle?
But that's stupid, because it's unlikely and not impossible. And from it's unlikeliness, that just means statistically it was going to happen eventually.
That's not a miracle at all. Am I missing something?

At what point in the war were the German armed forces of WW2 the strongest/relatively largest?
I'm not talking about operational success, the state of the front (or the homefront), merely actual equipment numbers and quality, and manpower (in comparison to their enemies).
Obviously late war is out of the question, and early war seems not to be a good candidate either. I suspect some time after the early successes of Barbarossa, or maybe right before the massive Soviet counterattacks around 43 or thereabouts? I wouldn't mind a more specific timeframe though...
1943
Bump for interest
Probably during operation Fall Blau in 1942.
Who else here /alt-history/?
