Hello Eurobenises, I has a question:
Why do some Bishops participate in Medieval Battles back in that era? You have peeps like the Norman Bishop Odo of Bayeux and the Hungarian Pal Tomori actually present in battles not as chaplains but as commanders, even participating in fighting.
Is this part of the Job Description or something?
Commanding armies was a privilege of noblemen and high ranking clergy tended to come from noble families. Also some dude just like war, clergy or not.
Also some clergy directly owned territory that they were in charge of defending personally, not just as agents of the church. Think like the Prince-Bishops of Germany during the 30 Years War.

Bishops were feudal lords. Some of the most powerful regional lords in the middle ages were the Prince-Bishops of the Empire. They would quite often go to war in order to realise their ambitions.
>Rather than seeking a prime driver (e.g., climate change, human hunting, disease, or other causes) for Pleistocene extinctions, we focus on the process of human geographic expansion and accelerating technological developments over the last 50,000 years, changes that initiated an essentially continuous cascade of ecological changes and transformations of regional floral and faunal communities. Human hunting, population growth, economic intensification, domestication and translocation of plants and animals, and landscape burning and deforestation, all contributed to a growing human domination of earth's continental and oceanic ecosystems. We explore the deep history of anthropogenic extinctions, trace the accelerating loss of biodiversity around the globe, and argue that Late Pleistocene and Holocene extinctions can be seen as part of a single complex continuum increasingly driven by anthropogenic factors that continue today.
>The concept of the ecological footprint is well known amongst ecological economists. It represents the human impact on the Earth in a clear manner. As its originators note, the ecological footprint calculations have reinforced the view that if everyone enjoyed a North American standard of living then globally this would require three earths — although finding two other planets would be difficult Wackernagel and Rees, 1996). Simply stated, we are living beyond our biophysical means. The ecological footprint is one attempt at developing a biophysically-based ecological economics, which approximates reality better than many economic expansionist models. This paper examines the ecological footprint as one contribution to the overall goal of making human development sustainable for current and future generations living in harmony with the rest of the biosphere.
How would you approach this issue morally?
Animols can suck a dick.
Only humans, only хapдкop
Mass sterilization, as long as I'm not included.
How much would you pay to support an NGO sterilization program for Africa/South America/Asia/continent you hate most?
>>1094575
>moral
yeah you have no moral only self perseverance ego instincts, anyway obviously we should find better ways to administrate our resources, preferably globally, abolish countries and use technology to maximize efficiency and do all that with the full understanding that the earth is the environment we depend on to exist and we must treat it with utmost respect and not destroy it for personal gain, basically what humanity's doing right now, oh wait I forgot they're doing just the opposite.. what a shame.
/his/, tell me about the Finno-Korean Hyperwar
A forced meme by /Int/ rejects
It has no punchline and exists out of love for LOLSORANDUMB
I've got to write stories or a book about this.
>>1094546
It actually was created entirely by /his/, on /his/, for /his/.
It was a very tragic battle, including the mass extermination of neanderthalian rockbangers, the true master race of this planet.
Why didn't Napoleon emancipate the Russian serfs during his 1812 campaign?
Because he never established any real political control of the country.
He could issue some useless proclamation I guess. It would have been as effective as the Emancipation Proclamation if the South won the war.
>>1094081
He was stupid to go further. Should have listened to poles that told him to camp in either Ukraine or close to Baltic where he could get supplies.
Russians love to be enslaved. It's in their blood.
Let's get some ascetically pleasing pictures

Ok, so I was learning about my country (colombia) military strength and came across a youtube video explaining how colombia's military has no possible defence againts a conventional invassion.
Of course colombia's army is among the best but only in counter guerrilla and counter terrorism and counter drug dealers.
My country has 50 years of combat experience againts guerrillas.
So, I want to ask the /his/torians here.
It's there any example of a war between a similar army to colombia, mostly experienced in guerrilla conflict versus a more traditional army, with good military gear of their time?
>>1093904
Yeah, see second gulf war
Columbia's military is small, that's the main reason it would git fuckd.
It's more of an elite police force than an actual military.
Makes sense given it's size and positioning of course. Paraguay tried to have a traditional military and 2/3rds of it's population died.
>>1094164
was sadam army trained in counter guerrilla?
wasn't sadam defeated in a couple of weeks?
What are principles, morals, standards, values, and ethics?
>>1093776

>>1093776
Values are individual or group ideas of what life should be.
Everyone has values, but that can include any human activity.
Ethics are a code of behavior that a community has established in order to have a civilised society.
They are often encoded into laws.
Morals are an ethical code enforced by a supernatural entity.
Which was worse, the Islamization of India, or the Christianization of the Americas?
>>1093596
Formation of Judaism would triumph them both
>>1093596
Indian religion mostly survived Islamization unscathed, can't say the same about Native American religion
>>1093596
I was going to say that the christianization of rome was worse then both combined seeing as how it set in motion the disaster that was abrahamic religion but this guy >>1093602
Gets to the root of the problem pretty damn quick. The semitic jews released a poison into the minds of billions of people that has yet to dissipate.
How do we know that logic is right?
How can logic be logic?
What are the logical fallacies?

I can sure tell you what's not an argument: your post.

>tfw there will never be a Franco-British Union
Why live ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-British_Union#World_War_II_.281940.29
"France and Great Britain shall no longer be two nations, but one Franco-British Union. The constitution of the Union will provide for joint organs of defence, foreign, financial and economic policies. Every citizen of France will enjoy immediately citizenship of Great Britain, every British subject will become a citizen of France."
It'd shit up England pretty badly.

>"The most fundamental problem of politics,” he wrote in his dissertation, “is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness."
That's from Henry Kissinger's senior thesis as a government major at Harvard. It was the longest undergraduate thesis in Harvard's history at 338 pages.
I may be showing off my Stirnerite mind, but how the fuck can the greentext be anything other than unfalsifiable spooky vague crap? Who could possibly think this has value? At least historians arrange stamps in an orderly manner. Social """"" sciences """"" everyone.

>Who could possibly think this has value?
I dont know. Why dont you post his explanation and we might find out
>>1092794
It's almost nonsense.
What he wrote in your memetext is correct, though.
Hey /his/,
Can we get a historical reconstructions thread going? Post anything you find interesting, from faces, to people, to weapons, boats, buildings, anything.

Were there any other heated standoffs in history like the Cuban Missile Crisis? All I can think of is day-to-day North Korea shenanigans.
Did these standoffs only start happening after the advent of nukes?
>Was there any other time in history where we were close to using annihilating weaponry against each other?
Stupid question OP.
>>1092276
I know I framed my question poorly. I just want to know if leaders got into standoff situations like the cold war before they had weapons of mass destruction. Wouldn't they have just said "big deal" and invaded anyway because there's no risk of total annihilation?
For nuclear age ones...

There are theories that a mini-WW3 happened under the sea in 1968 and was agreed to be covered up. Very much unproven but very interesting nonetheless. Made into a hollywood movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_%282013_film%29)
