France and Russia are coming as DLC I'm guessing.
Can /his/ redpill me on sexual promiscuity before the modern era?
Can you fuck off with this "redpill" shit?
Way too broad a topic to say much in general. People have always been fucking a lot. Some places and times more than others. The modern era is not at either extreme.

Sexual promiscuity...for whom? Like, everyone? Literally every single one of your descendants had a juicy rod in them in some point if that's what you mean.
Does being raped and such count as promiscuous? Or rather, does raping count? Could veteran soldiers who'd spent their years pillaging and raping through central Europe be considered promiscuous?
The Victorians were notorious for being very sexually repressed outwardly, and complete animals in private. The slums of Paris were well known...

Any good documentaries on Rome you care to recommend? Most of the stuff I find on youtube are mediocre at best so let's talk about this.

BBC Made one about the Celts. The first two or three episodes are pretty good. Wouldn't watch any more than that. The music is horrible though.
>>1134103
Terry Jones' Barbarians for the BBC in around 2006. You may have to torrent it like I did. It is a good look at the Roman interaction with the Celts and various barbarian tribes.
Generally he argues that the barbarians were civilised and wealthy. For example, the celts had roads, gold, and a lawful society overseen by the druids and the Romans stomped them to acquire gold and mineral mines. It is similar in Dacia. And they talk about Alaric and his tribal confederation sympathetically as refugees who...

Yeah HBo did a pretty good one a while back
Is there like a crash course for understanding the middle ages? What are some good starter books for culture, religion, military, cooking, daily life etc? Like if you were to compose a list of literature for the class The Middle Ages 101 what would it consist of?
A Tale of Two Churches.
>a thousand years of the history of a whole continent and its dozens of countries
>crash course
ummm yeah no

They ate nothing but gruel and mud pies.
why did the Poles start the WW2? do they hate humanity or what
They knew they would get help from the UK and France. Also they underestimated the German military and thought the war would only take a few months.
poles are dumb, more news at 11
They had one of the strongest armies before the war, their cavalry wielding panzer-cutting laser sabers. Why else do you think the Poles would use a cavalry charge against German tanks?
Fortunately the German genius prevailed. they heroically defeating the superior Polish forces.
The value of money literally worthless and people are slowly losing their faith in it, nuclear warfare is at it's peak, global warming isnt a meme, 2/3 of enlightened & intelligent people are will die off. The rest live in a secret society utopia.
Wat do?

Deal with it like every other past generation to walk this planet. Start worrying about your own problems, and life will start to seem so much more worth it.

Yeah gee i sure am getting tired of being nuked every day.
Were the Macedonians Greek?

No they were Macedonians.
Yes but they were no, that is to say no they were yes.
What the president does in a recession ?
> In terms of economic and political
> I need an example in history / how has been taken ? /
SORRY FOR MY FUCKING ENGLISH
BUT I JUST WANNA TRY TO UNDERSTAND IT DUDES

The most iconic recession in American history was The Great Depression (1929-1939) that occurred in conjunction with series of unfortunate global economic disasters that in turn was a result of the Allie's mismanagement in the aftermath of WWI.
FDR, whose presidential term started in 1933, had an economic plan called the New Deal which entailed several governmental programs and agencies that are still in use today (ie. Social Security, SEC). The extent of the New Deal's helpfulness in combating The...

The government has to spend it's way out of a recession and hope that the cycle will right itself in time to manage the debt incurred.
>>1134918
And it was a fucking disaster
The government turned an ordinary recession into the great depression. What finally bailed us out was world War 2
Tell me about the bantustans
Basically Bantu containment zones. Bantus who weren't wanted in SA proper could be deported to their home-'stan. They were generally shitholes with a very high population density. This and carelessness resulted in wide-spread soil erosion which made the land even more shitty. The end game for the apartheid government was to deport all Bantus to their respective homelands, however, this was never carried out as the economy relied on black labor.
>>1134246
Swaziland actually claims parts of the KaNgwane bantustan but South Africa obviously isn't going to cede territory to them.
Were they actually good fighters? Or just well equipped?
Also why were they killed in a mass genocide?
>>1132189

They didnt expect the Inquisition

"Rage and sorrow are seated in my heart...so firmly that I scarce dare to stay alive. It seems that God wishes to support the Turks to our loss...ah, lord God...alas, the realm of the East has lost so much that it will never be able to rise up again. They will make a Mosque of Holy Mary's convent, and since the theft pleases her Son, who should weep at this, we are forced to comply as well...Anyone who wishes to fight the Turks is mad, for Jesus Christ does not fight them any more. They have conquered, they...

When did Popes start taking a new name upon their ascendancy? Who was the first Pope to take a Papal name and how long was it until they all stated doing that?
>INB4 some Protestant shithead whines about his Babylonian /x/-tier shitposting
Go fuck yourself, this has nothing to do with Catholic theology just a tradition among its chief clergy. You will never convince anyone of your side with your historically-innacurate shitposting and garbage exegesis.

Nor is this about Papal Supremacy...

Go read the prophecy of the popes about the Malachy prophecies and come back when you're a little older and a little wiser, shithead.

>Go read the prophecy of the popes about the Malachy prophecies
That debunked crap formulated long after Malachy died by a 1500's bishop trying to make his bid for the papacy be predestined by God?
Kek.
bumping for interest
Crime has always played a large role in our society. I am very much interested in organized crime and their codes, activities, etc etc.
What crime group I'm history has interested you the most? Why?
For me it would have to be the Russian Mafia. Their evolution and how it coincides with Russian history is fascinating. If anyone could recommend any books on this topic, and good books on organized crime in general, it would be greatly appreciated.

Defiantly the Sicilian Mafia. I'm American of Sicilian descent and Cosa Nostra does hold a very special place in American culture. It's romanticized similar to the Wild West with media such as the The Sopranos and The Godfather.
Why the did the Spanish get the comfy tropical empire but the British and French get the frozen shitholes?

>Haiti
>Vietnam
>Cameroon
>Ivory Coast

"frozen shitholes"

Humid Shithole then.
because the spaniards were willing to sex the natives and create a new race to do the hard work, unlike british prudes
>no more empires

It can't be done so openly today, it isn't acceptable. But also not worth it, why would you want to directly control and have to deal with an entire other country? Just go set up a military base there for "security", and get a sweet deal or even free on the particular thing you want from that nation. That's what America does.
Oh and if you need to fight, do it via proxy under some guise of freedom fighting rebels.
Imperium Americanum soon frater
Depends what you call an empire, desu. Yes, there's no Empire in the traditional sense before.
>Russia
>America
America has military bases in pretty much every Ally state, and has basically used its economic clout to change foreign policy of other countries where they see fit. Propping up Israel/Invading Iraq/Invading Afghanistan/Iran sanctions/Supplying Saudi Arabia, the US' closest 'Ally' in the Middle East, with gunz n shit to fight turrism, definitely ignoring the fact that they're...

Sodam and Gomorrah was an airburst asteroid like the one that flattened part of Russia. The scientists have found parts of the ground turned to glass.

What do you think, is it plausible? Was it a natural cosmic occurrence or something which God set in motion?

Why not both?

Makes sense. They were rushing out of there in the face of impending doom, cutting it so close that when the wife stopped, she got vaporized.

Wasn't she turned into salt?
