MUHAMMAD ALI JINNAH WAS IN FAVOUR OF SECESSION ONLY AFTER RECOGNIZING THAT THE RADICALITY OF IDEALISTIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO MAJOR GROUPS WITHIN THE NATIONALISTIC MOVEMENT MADE THEIR MUTUAL CONFLICT VIRTUALLY UNSOLVABLE.

MOHANDAS GANDHI WAS A "USEFUL IDIOT"; MUHAMMAD ALI JINNAH WAS AN AUTHENTIC NATIONALIST.

Before Vienna: Poland at the zenith of it's power

After Vienna: Poland disintegrates and gets split

If the Ottomans took Vienna, it would have forced them into a war with the Germans, since they had to reclaim the capital of the Unholy Barbarian Confederation. Eventually the French would've stepped in so save the Germans, leaving both Germany and Ottoman Hungary weak and ripe for picking.

Saving Vienna seems like a retard move in retrospect.

Yes, 1683 was a huge mistake for Poland.

Not only they got betrayed by their fellow catholic brothers, but also partitioned by the ones they saved.

>inb4 TWASN'T JUST POLAND xdXDDD
German troops died like flies, Sobieski took charge quiete literally and commanded to victory.
German troops stopped fighting to just see the Polish charge on Ottomans.

Also to add more, not really.

1683 was after Swedish Deluge and Cossack uprisings, so it was pretty crashed at this moment. Charge in Vienna was the last show of power by Polish state.

Also, there will be shitton of Prussiapros, germanboos in this thread any second.

The French would not help the Austrians. Actually, they helped the Turks by moving their troops to the frontier, forcing the Austrians to divide their forces and to not have the help of some western members of the Empire that had to be guard against the French.

The French would not have defeated the Turks, if the Turks managed to conquer Vienna.

Wikipedia is very informative

Because there was no reliable census, there can be no reliable consensus.

Even back in the 50s my grandfather was able to lie his age to get the Korean war. Bureaucracy and people charged with counting big numbers sucked donkey dick until very recently in history.

Even today we have trouble knowing precisely how much traffic there is on the road, even with cameras everywhere. Why would someone in 1514 be able to look at a maelstrom of murder and know how many bodies there were?

Pic related. How many people live on this street?
>>
>>1100511
I like the idea of one or both sides employing people to go around and count how many dead bodies or lost equipment there was after a battle. That seems pretty comical to me. It's like they sent in the army, so now it's time to send in the bureaucrats.

If one converts to a religion purely out of fear of consequences in the afterlife, would that person be welcomed by God?

1. Why would someone not belonging to a certain religion be swayed by the concept of afterlife of that certain religion to which he doesn't belong?

2. Any religion that relies on fear, obedience, and tradition-based customs, is not spiritual, and therefore it has no relation to God.

>The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals.

But man has always been of mixed race. The strong have always been mixing with the strong and the degenerates are left to breed with degenerates. This is how all lifeforms breed and evolve. Just like we see today with shitty people living in shitty areas of the world, being shitty and poor, simultaneously the great people live in the great areas of the world and are rich and prosperous. This is how it's always been and how it always will be. We are all "mixed" race and have always been, it's just that people tend to mix with people who are of a similar disposition. A succesful man will take a succesful wife and have succesful children, a poor fucking gypsy will take a gypsy wife and spawn gypsy children.

Hi /his/
I'm 20 years old and am very much irreligious. But I can't identify as an atheist because I do believe in some higher power.

Anyways, I was raised as a seventh-day adventist and I wanted to know if anyone had questions or so forth.

I may not know the answers to some said questions if they're related to the Bible. I didn't pay close attention to their context as a kid, other than a few obvious things.

Personally, I don't think they're TOO special. Apparently they think so though-- so that's why I thought I might get some questions.

Obligatory.

Realistically, how good was the Republic of Venice at War throughout its history? At its high point could it have been characterized as a military superpower for its time period? Obviously they were much more capable Navally, but what about land forces? Why did they end up losing to the Ottoman Empire so much when they engaged, despite performing incredibly well against other forces? Pic related.

Venice is historically a failed state, it was born from escaping to the swamps from the germanics who overran rome and much of italy.

You tend to not want to mess with its Navy for one thing. Also among the Italian city states, they had a proud tradition of civic militias fighting for their state.

Unfortunately they bit the Mercenary Meme and their ground forces declined because of it.
