https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostsiedlung
The Wikipedia article is so confusing. It's like it's an pseudo-historical term invented by 19th century Nationalists, with no relevance at all towards historical sources. Can someone tell me about it briefly? Is there any decent English-language book with this topic?
tldr Eastern Europe got rekt by Mongols and Turks so the local kings invited German settlers to colonize depopulated areas.

Wasn't it the fact that Europe conquered the world that sparked the Industrial revolution?
Is the whole idea of spooks a spook?
If you consider spooks evil or something then I guess it would be pretty spooky.

How long did it take the Spaniards to realize they weren't in India?

Toilets tipped them off real quick
Probably when the portuguese went around Africa and didn't find them there
>>931715
Like the second or third trip.
Why did it fail? Was it too harsh for Germany?
It failed because they didn't predict Germany building up a new Reich during an upcoming depression. No one was able to enforce it.
>>931723
Surely it's the cause of the Nazi's rise then?
>>931736
Both sides fucked up, people predicted this shit would fuck up the German economy very badly and it did fuck up the German economy very badly and people were mad as hell
What happened to the majestic Auroch

The eternal Germanic happened
Quaternary extinction event

Has converting to Islam ever been acceptable in Western society? It seems it was pretty frowned upon in the pre-20th century era, and then in the pre-9/11 era it had negative connotations with groups like the nation of Islam, and then after 9/11 it became even more suspicious for a Westerner to convert. Was this always the case? Are there any examples of prominent Europeans who converted to the faith of Mohammad?
What was Islam like before Wahhabism?
>tfw no Muslim Europe
Imagine how much greater mankind could have been if near Asia and the Occident had been united.
>>931582
Adolf Hitler admired Islam, and many people in the 1800s had a romantic view of it. But otherwise no. The reason Islam never really "took off" in the West, is because we have a very long history of conflict that continues into the present day.

The Russian Empire could've easily become an economic powerhouse by rapid industrialisation

What's so BS about it?
What do you mean non-bs?
guns, germs and steel shows how white people once again screwed over the rest of the world pretty well. for their own gain.
>reading a book on "what if's" pertaining to the most backwards civilization on the planet
Might as well read the man in the high castle as well and pass it off as truth.
In relation to the Cold War during the eighties, how could one connect the Chernobyl Disaster with the Nuclear Arms Race, if there even is a way?
Chernobyl was an experimental reactor whose primary purpose was to generate weapons grade plutonium.
>>930801
Nuclear plant was placed near the Duga radar, the importance of which to the soviet Air defense was great. That's the only possible reason.
The reactor construction was pretty usual.
>>931016
>The reactor construction was pretty usual.
No, the reactor construction was absolutely not usual. Chernobyl reactors were a special design using graphite modulators, and geared toward creating weapons grade plutonium. The meltdown could not have happened with a usual nuclear reactor of the era.

Having both been a Catholic formerly and having spoken to a great number of actually devout Christcucks on IBs, I can say that without a doubt, Christians are the most cowardly and pathetic individuals that ever sullied the name of the human race.
To make it short: most - all, actually - have told me that everything God does must be 'good', even if it were bad by any kind of human standard. A kind of doublethink, with one on Cripplechan actually proceeding to tell that even if God decided to brutally kill newborns and infants on a whim, it would be morally 'good'. When they say that God can do no wrong, they mean God can do all wrongs, but the mere fact that he is a deity would mean these wrongs would actually be 'good'.
And this implicitly tells that Christians don't care if God is - outside of their doublethink - evil or wrong or at fault. In fact, many actually know it, but still worship because they want to be saved after death. How pathetic is that?

>omnipotent beings don't deserve to be worshipped if they don't adhere to my morals
Autism
Who are you to judge what "good" and "evil" is?
>>930540
>worshipping omnipotent beings that do not adhere to your morals
Cuck.
