Why is it part of China?
How come Mao was able to get Muslim warlords on board, and when did the Muslim consensus in China start turning against the government?
Also, could Xinjiang theoretically function as an autonomous nationstate?

All shitposting about the actual qualities of the J-31 aside, it does look pretty aesthetic.
>>1159002
It lost.
Because the KMT were, despite revisionist history propaganda, total assholes that almost every minority hated. Remember they were called the "Nationalists" for a reason.
Theoretically? Yes. Practically? No.
It's already half Han.

Define best without saying "at everything".
Why didn't Germans wear winter clothes in 1941?
Why are anime girls so lewd?
>>1158935
Why did the anime adaptation suck so much?
>>1158935
Hitler thought that the Russian Army was so incompetent and broken that they'd collapse before winter additionally he thought his troops would fight harder if they knew winter clothing wouldn't be coming.
So, it's super likely that on August I'll start teaching history classes at my old middle school. I'm a history major and I'm going to need the money while I study my Master's degree. Now, I still have my memories of how much of a piece of shit I was when I was 14 so I know what to expect from these animals, but I would like some recommendations.
For example, how much should I be letting those kids reads per week? Should I try to make them participate all the time, or maybe have a very straight forward lecture?
What I think I'm going to do, is let the kids read a chapter of their textbooks or a fragment of a book for homework, and then make them participate by asking "what did you get from what you read?" For that, I will tell them to use a highlighter and write whatever question they have and ask it, so that I can answer it.
Does that sound like a good idea? I remember my first days of University, that was the way I learned the most, so it's probably a good move. Of course, I'll spice it up with group presentations and such, but my main concern will be to make them read as much as possible and that they start thinking. Also, them acting like savages but I do have a very strong attitude, so hopefully that works out in the end.
straight forward lectures work better in later high school / college because usually if you're taking history courses at that point you are doing it by choice, and have a reason to listen. Middle schoolers don't give a shit about history unless you make them.
Worksheets might be a good idea, short questions and spaces for short answers on a variety of easy things just to make sure they're actually reading.
t. someone who isn't in education so take that with a grain of salt
>>1158968
This. Assume they won't give a single flying fuck and work around it if you can.
>>1158968
What about this. I start by telling them to write me on a piece of paper the answer to a question I give them related to what they read and then I start with what I have in mind?
I am doing a research paper on Psychology. I would prefer you answer them all, but you don't have to answer a question if you don't want to.

I think you'd have a better time posting this in /k/.
Cruising around Google Earth, as I do, I came across these rock structures in NW Saudi Arabia. I thought they were the normal animal corrals or something at first, but I'm pretty sure that's not right. I can't find any real good info on them. People seem to think they're Neolithic in age. Some say they're tombs. Some say they're directional markers. I don't like those theories for a variety of reasons.
Anyone know more info about these things?
Here's the GPS for the one in the upper right:
27°16'28.20"N, 37°15'42.75"E
If you look around on the highlands in that area they're everywhere.
>>1158501
Dont tell them about it, or theyll be removed because they might be haram :^)
>>1158501
>People seem to think they're Neolithic in age. Some say they're tombs. Some say they're directional markers. I don't like those theories for a variety of reasons.

>for centuries islamic and christian nations battle it out with advances that are quickly lost by both sides
>imperialism powered by industry is able to break this stalemate
>westerners become the bad guys and have triggered islam
Honestly, how can anyone with a basic knowledge of history think this conflict between the Islamic world and the West only began during colonialism and we're somehoow to blame for this? We never got along.
>>1158380
I didn't realise that Egypt, Syria, north Africa, Asia minor and the Balkans were lost quickly.
>>1158456
By the Muslims I mean.
>>1158380
No one gave a fuck about muslims for most of europe's history though
France, Germany and Uk were busy slaughtering themselves, there's no black and white war between muslims and christians, hell france was allied with the ottomans to destroy another christian country
Does anyone here know a thing or two about pre 1800 Indian and Chinese shipbuilding?
I am rather interested in how Dhows and Junks were built and how junk rigs sail. I know a thing or two about Baltic, Atlantic and Mediterranean shipbuilding but Indian and Chinese Ocean is a bit of a blank spot. Were junks built without a keel? Were they all designed with inverse lapstrake? How pronounced is the tumblehome and were they built skin first?
>>1158365
>>1158377
bump.
Okay so it's a specialist topic I realize now.
>>1158365
The Chinese had some huge ships which they used to sail to Africa/Arabia.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_treasure_ship
One problems with the Indians and ships was that some Hindus thought that they couldn't go abroad without losing their caste so some didn't sail much. I know that the Arabs sailed to Kerala to get wood for their dhows

Did Genghis Khan actually exist?
I see no evidence pointing to yes.
I think it was just a story to try and hold the Mongols together.
It just all seemed too convenient.

pretty sure the giant fucking empire under the Mongols is enough proof

What did he mean by this?
The people of the world had become disenchanted with religious justification and so it was no longer possible to appeal to God as the reason or cause of something.

Do you like historical novels, /his/?
*historical fanfiction
>>1157669
I prefer actual, more interesting history that happened in real life.

Love them. Quality tends to be pretty low tho, and accuracy even lower.
My favourite series is O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin.
