What were historical sites of greatest mass rapes besides Berlin and Nanking?
>>960837
my house last night :^)
>>960837
A lot of premodern wars I suppose.
Also those sick shit that gone down in Africa. The Rwandan Genocide included more than just killing you know.
>>960837
The fall of Constantinople apparently had a lot of rape after the ottomans took the city.
Why is WW2 so fucking interesting?
It has it all
>political backstabbery
>huge and epic battles (and lots and lots of them)
>genocide
>generals with their own faults and personalities
>desperate fight for survival from various sides
>iconic weapons
>changed the course of history and modern world
>>958617
Maybe because its the largest war ever fought you fucking moron
>>958617
It's important to you because a: your country was in it, and it was likely the last time your country was in a real big war
B:you are told it's important because the U.S. Has been milking WW2 political capital since it got in. It was also a result of this was specifically that the U.S. Became the most powerful nation on earth and so it is historically important but emotionally important because so long as the memory of surging ahead of the rest of the world is kept fresh in their minds, the ruling class/the...

Personally I find anything in the 20th century boring.
Not to mention in addition to roots of modern day butthurts.

What would /his/ say was the most brutal genocide/ethnic cleansing/massacre?
I'd say the Turkish Genocide of the Greeks, Armenians and Pontic Greeks with the associated cultural cleansing during the 20th century. A region that had been inhabited for thousands of years by them was denuded of them almost totally within a few months. Even in the 1970s the Turks forced the last remaining Greeks in their borders to leave by pressuring them to transfer from Tenedos and Imbros across the Aegean. There is nothing that needs to be said about the Armenians aside from just look at map of their old homeland and a map of Turkey's modern borders.

Irrespective of whether you're right or wrong, you should keep this shit on the board intended for it.

Are "human rights" a spook?
Obviously.
Yes because they vary between cultures and ideologies.
>>941230
How would you not make them spooks.
What if Constantinople didn't fall?
Let's say they managed to defeat the Turks, holding Greece, Wallachia, Serbia, Albania and Anatolia as their territorries.
How different would things have been?
>>964704
they get fucked soon after. they were already a sinking ship
>>964704
For Byzantium to survive, they need to stop Constantinople from being sacked by the Crusaders in 1204 and at some point regain all of western Asia Minor. Plus they constantly have to check their northern borders from emerging powers like Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria.
Overall pretty damn difficult to pull.
>>964704
If the Ottomans didn't get them the Russians, Venicians, or Spanish probably would have. You would need to go back a hundred years or so and make radical changes to the political structure if your aim is to save the Byzantine empire.
Was the city of Rome really such a disease-ridden cesspit as it is usually depicted?
sorry i only answer these types of questions if they are phrased 'redpill me on x'
>>963165
>'redpill me on x'
There should be an automatic ban for this or at least a wordfilter into "buttfuck me please".
Bump out of interest.
What is the 'it' that makes a psychopath either become a contract killer or a high-end politician, even a president?
I have though about it for atleast 2 weeks, listened some audiobooks etc. Those said it is just the place and family you grow up with: in a poor smart family - you want to have money, so youll go the legal way. In a poor family - come intouc with illegal stuff from the beginning of your life and so you choose the bad way.
On the pic is a psychopath
>>964283
I don't think JFK was a psychopath; more like a narcissist whose quack doctor had him on amphetamines most of the time.
>>964283
Please wank yourself off ,because your brain is going to explode with the shit you think of
>>964288
Well, he wasn't put into some mental hospital, that's right. But the thing is he had many common traits with criminals, as for example - Josef Mengele. In the position of a president, he couldnt possibly tell anyone he's a psychopath.
How do I become a Rastafari priest?
As far as I know there are not any rasta communities around here (Netherlands).
I have been studying the King James Bible, Rastafari, and Ethiopian history for the past 2 years and want to help other brothers and sisters to get away from Babylon.
Also general Rastafari thread.

Is it not a bit weird to still follow Rastafarianism considering Haile Selassie himself said he wasn't God?
>>961336
No
What do you guys think of Hardcore History? I've listening to a lot of it the past few months and it seems really well researched and presented.
I like it. Pop History without the negative connotation. This is what should be thought of with the term.
I really like dan.

I have learned so much about history from it. After plowing through so many I feel like an expert and am always talking my friends ears off about all the cool history stuff I know.
>Arabs conquer Egypt and destroy the Library of Alexandria, basically laughing it off as 'w/e m8, none of that shit is in the Qran it's all haram, lol not important'
>Turks conquer Constantinople and leave the Hagia Sophia as it is, appreciating it's beauty and importance
why are people still so assmad at the Turks when clearly it's the Arabs who have historically been the truly vicious and backwards people in the muslim world?
I thought they converted it into a mosque
>>946007
that's still infinitely better than destroying it
it's no different from the christians converting the Pantheon into a Christian Church
>>945999
>>Arabs conquer Egypt and destroy the Library of Alexandria,
This is false. It was destroyed before Islam even existed. Stop spreading 1000 year old propaganda.
How exactly do they fuck it up?
Give me all the details.

>yes goyim get chinese gf say no to white women and use your viking cock on tiny china doll he he heheheh
It was made by History Channel.
Some of you seem to hate it when Sabaton is referenced in threads here but then again, a few of you like to make comment chains of their lyrics.
What's the consensus then?
Favourite album/song?
Which historical period do they do the best job of representing? What's the worst?
Personally, I love all the songs in Carolus Rex and Art of War but a few of their songs feel significantly biased against the traditional enemies of Sweden.
>>959290
I personally think that they are alright. Their best albums are probably Carolus Rex and Heroes, and the best song is probably Gott Mit Uns.
>>959312
Gott Mitt Uns is a good one, I like Price of A Mile and The Caroleans' Prayer.
>>959312
Personally, i think their best abum is Carolus Rex. Best song though? It's a good toss-up between Gott Mit Uns, Carolus Rex, Ghost Division, and Panzer Batallion. Can't honeslty can't pick between them.
