No problem m8. I have it because I want to learn history as a hobby/interest (so I can join in on the big boy banter on /his/) But skimming through it, it seems kind of lean, and you might know a lot of this stuff from just browsing on here. So I'd recommend reading another book after this.

Why do Chinese Shills always claim that Tibet Belongs to China because of the fact that they were a part of the Qing Dynasty yet at the same time denouce the Qing Dynasty and Blame the Manchu for literally everything?
Because nationalism is not conducive to a sober analysis of events.
Also, Asians aren't people and they don't feel feelings the way humans do.
It's more of an insectoid hive impulse.

What's the Islamic interpretation of the attributes and characteristics of the Prophet (saw) and god?
What are the different theological schools of thought regarding this topic?
Can we please only have useful comments?
Thanks, guys
Assalamu alaykum
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but here's some stuff.
Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOUp3ZZ9t3A&list=PLAEA99D24CA2F9A8F&index=1
Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udjM4dBVicE&list=PLAEA99D24CA2F9A8F&index=2
As for the attributes of God, just read the Qur'an. Or for a more succinct understanding, read al-Ikhlas.

I was wondering about the different schools of thought on how and what to interpret in order to understand the characteristics of the the Prophet (saw) and god
A very recent post on this board got me interested in Ibadism. Do you have any thoughts on it?

No problem, brother.
>I was wondering about the different schools of thought on how and what to interpret in order to understand the characteristics of the the Prophet (saw) and god
You mean like Ash'ari and Athari? It's a controversial topic that's always pointlessly debated. I don't know much about, so I can't recommend any resources, sorry.

If Germany won WW1 would the islands the Japanese captured from them be returned to them?
I find it unlikely Germany would go to war with Japan over it after having a truce with France or Britain.
I doubt japs would end trade with largest industrial power over islands

That is some bitch-tier opportunism tbqh

The German Empire was the most prepared of any great power at the time for the war.
They were also the biggest edgelords, being the first nation to violate the Hague Convention and use gas (forcing the entente powers to use gas in defence) and being the first nation to launch civilian bombing raids - flying Gotha Bombers over London and causing unheard of damage.
Also doing really underhand slithery shit like coercing...

Okay, so let's get a discussion of modern African history going, but this time let's actually follow the rules of the board (i.e., pic unrelated).
Any discussion or questions (it's okay if you don't know something! I'll be glad to help answer!) about Africa are welcome, but keep the dates between around 1880 and 1991, and let's try for now only to discuss Central and Southern Africa.
I've come up with a few topics to get us started:
Mozambique: why did the People's Republic of Mozambique last for such a short period? Why did...

How big was direct Soviet involvement in Africa? And I don't mean sending equipment or advisors, I mean boots on the ground soldier sort of things. I know that there were some in Angola but I would like to know more.
>>956182
Zimbabwe soldiers were trained with North Korea. Cuba sent military advisors somewhere as well
>>956182
I actually don't know, but that's a very good question. I imagine that there were some special forces operations, but I don't know the extent of their involvement. I'll try to look into it and get back to you.

you are wrong about this

what does that even mean
>Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.
What did he mean by that? Are asocials god?
Gods of men, yes. They hold the lives of normies in the palms, their lives preserved only so long as their tempers are cooled.

Is he right?
not really
She is right though

Subjective means opinions, feelings, philosophy.
Objective means science, logic, math.

UNMASKING MASCALL'S MOUSE TRAPS
ABSTRACT: Twelve mouse traps described and figured by Leonard Mascall in 16th Century England are illustrated and interpreted afresh. Special attention is given to one that is also depicted on the Merode altarpiece, an important 15th Century Dutch painting. Since Mascall's era many of his mouse traps have virtually disappeared. Others have been made more effective by various design changes,...

Tell me something about Agrippa. How important was he for Octavians rise to power and ultimate victory? How was his relationship with Octavian? Why was he such a skilled commander?
Any good sources on him?
On August 19th, 14 CE, Augustus died, and control of the Roman Empire passed to Tiberius. Around the same time, soldiers came to Planasia with orders to execute Postumus - orders that were carried out only after a terrific struggle.
In the aftermath of Postumus' death, an imposter arose claiming to be the exiled prince - he was apparently a slave named Clemens, who had accompanied Postumus to Planasia. After two years of this facade, Clemens was captured and executed by Tiberius. When he was brought into the emperor's presence, Tiberius supposedly asked him...

Agrippa was the charismatic, military muscle to Octavian's not-very-inspiring-to-his-troops, political brains.
>>954583
Speaking of Agrippa, what is the best biography of Octavian around?
is this guy most responsible for the decline of Muslim civilization and the end of their golden age?
>>954522
That guy saw himself as an Islamic Warrior and his descendants led the Golden Age of Islam in India.
Also his antics drove a lot of scholars from Persia & Iraq into the arms of the newborn Ottoman State.
No, Islam always was and will be a savage barbarian death cult, founded by heretics
