How well-integrated were Jews in prewar France and Germany?
From 1880-1932, could Jews ascend to the upper echelon of the nobility? Were there any Jewish counts and marquesses?
How visible and how severe was anti-Jewish prejudice on the European continent prior to the Nazi terror?
Would it be scandal for a Jew to marry into Christian nobility? Did a scion of the Rothschilds or any other wealthy Jewish dynasty pull that off?
>>936526
Prime Minister of France when Germany invaded was Jewish.
Jews were usually isolated in jewish communities, somewhat like muslim communities of today except that the jews didn't harbor terrorists.
>>936564
By the 30s Jews were basically invisible in Germany, which frightened the Nazis and helped them garner success
Why do these two countries have such a similar history and fate?
>Land Inhabited for thousands of years BC.
>Both form pretty decent kindgodms for a time before they get dominated by a huge empire (The British and the Ottoman)
>Lots of similar events happening at the same time - 1916 Irish Easter Rising. The 1916 Illindensko-Preobrajensko rising.
>Both suffering famines and crisis at the same time. Become a country at the same time (1937 IRE, 1936 Bulgaria).Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

Ireland is doing pretty good though also I don't know what the irish did with the birts but the bulgarians chimped out and massacred muslims left and right when they got independance.
>>943636
Alright I'll play, but:
>become a country at the same time
>1936 Bulgaria
What do you mean by this?
>>943648
1922 Independence, 1936 no longer a Kingdom, and accepts constitution.
How come no one worhships him today despite lots of people worshiping Yahweh?
>>940924
Violence is bad.

So why do people worship Yahweh?

Hi /his/, I have a sort of a specific question:
What happened to the german POW held in the Soviet Union after they were released? Were they allowed to go back to the other side of Berlin or Germany if their families were there?
It would be very fucking sad to be finally freed only to discover you can go back home.
>can not go home
fix`d

Any communists here? I want to have an intelligent conversation about the history of communism.
Pls no flaming.
>>940822
Do communists see Stalin as a true communist? Or did he deviate too much from restoring power to the workers?
Was the USSR at any time the workers utopia it was supposed to be?
If so, were the atrocities committed necessary or did they detract from the ideals of the country?
I've never had these questions addressed in a non bias way. I'm curious to see how communists feel about the Soviet Union
>>940841
I really hope this isn't what this thread turns into
why don't you talk about the future of communism
oh wait there isn't one
What were the causes for the French and American revolutions? Did they influence one another?
>>939392
The people were done with the bullshit and acted on it
American revolution = massive tax evasion
French revolution = a gigantic chimpout fueled by egalitarian enlightement writers
Also ignore this post: >>939399
It's never "the people". In France it was violent mobs concentrated mostly in Paris while the rest of the country didn't give a fuck. In America likewise, a handful of population was loyalist, a handful was secessionist, and the absolute majority of people just didn't care.
Basically the french won the revolution for the colonies whih plunged france into an economic shithole and after a few years of shit harvests the hungly plebs of paris began to riot for food which lead to some shitty decisions and you know the rest
/his/ seems to have a contempt for empiricism and a love for sophistry.
That's 4chan in general, Hume.
>>934942
/his/ is full of wannabe philosophers who are desperately trying to convince themselves they still have something worthwhile to contribute
>>935218
That sounds like the whole field of philosophy, trying to sell your inherently worthless thoughts in a world which changes through action.
All right /his/ ! Help me to create the perfect dictatorship. If you were the non-elected leader of a country, what would you do ?
>inb4 kill the jews
Keep in mind we're humanists and all and care about the well being of the many. So, I would suggest to :
1. Keep corruption under tight control. This is the biggest flaw compared to democracy where the ranks can be more easily kept fresh.
2. Make the economy work, because people tend to be less noisy with a full belly. Hitler was supported by the majority of germans because...

For political dissidents just disappear them and release evidence that they've been working with the country's enemies
>>942986
Yeah ok, but to what extent do you consider a person dissident for example ?
Mandatory draft/clerkwork
Average amount of social welfare
A scapegoat
At least attempt to be as independent as possible, because you will get fucked up by the eternal anglo
151 years ago the most deadly conflict in the history of the world began it killed over 600000 people and destroy ed almost all the male population of an entire country.
But you cucks don't care about that "Only what happens above the Equator line matters " right!?
>>941208
exactly, non-european lives have no value and are of no importance..
>>941208
I think the world wars and chinese internal wars were a bit more deadly than 600,000 people anon
>>941215
I meant in percentage. Some historians say that up to 75% of parguayian population was lost during the conflict.
I'm an Amerifat, and never took a proper European History course.
Red-pill me on the Thirty Year's War.
some people got thrown out of a window
then half of germany died
What would have happened if the Teutonic order won the battle on the Ice?
Would they expand into Siberia or just use the Russian lands as marches against steppe hordes?
>>939377
It's importance is overplayed by Russian nationalists. The order had already more or less reached its limits with prussia and livonia. It simply didn't have a realistic chance of expanding into Russia
>>939377
Battle on the Ice was a small skirmish which wasn't even on the ice.

>Teutonic Order
>Controlling all the Rus'
What meme is this?
So I learned that the Spanish Inquisition was more than likely exaggerated by protestants to use as a beating stick against the Catholic Church, what other events were exaggerated for Political reasons?

Literally all of them.
>>937515
but to the extent that is supersedes truth

Lowest common denominator.

factoids are not historically useful
it's always the whys and so forth, just because he glossed over a long period of history in 10 minutes does not mean his "students" can think critically about the subject
there is no "learning" here, only words that sounds familiar but probably could not be reused in another setting
