>two kings Swedish kings died in battle
Why?

Cause that's what their good at ofc
If you're referring to Karl as well as Gustav, then the siege of Fredriksten is far from a battle
it's obvious that since 1950, with advent of worldwide information and the real globalization, every decade had his own.
i was in discussing about music in another board and i noticed how every decade (50s, 60s and so on until now) had his own "mood" that you can get from the music, the pop culture, movies, everything that came from europe and US.
50s was the decades of materialism, that started in US and spreaded all over western society, where the objective society was to buy new stuff and get always more objects, cars, clothes, buy.
it was the...

70s followed the route tracked by 60s, always prefering moral, social and spiritual values over materialist one, less concentrated on the spiritual sphere and more on the social one (peace, equality, love etc.). again anyway, fight against materialism, status quo and "small minded" people.
the 80s were, again, the decade of materialism and hedonism, probably more than the 50s, years more "innocent.
the main difference between them was probably that while the 50s were more innocent and projected to future, 80s were a nihilist version...

2010s, to me, are again a return of materialism and hedonism present in 50s and 80s, that are also the returning trends of last decades, starting from dressing trends (hipster culture take a lot from 50s and also a return to the 80s clothes, leather jacket, high sneakers and stuff like that). again, the icons are successful, fit and rich people, big cars, rap that's now totally converted into pure materialistic and status symbol ostentation, where more used theme are moneys, luxury and women.
resuming it, to me:
50s - materialism, consumism
60s...

i know it's a huge WoT, i tried to summarize my ideas about society, i hope it's the right board.
also i don't want to give any quality opinion about any decade or personal goals/values, i'm not trying to say that one decade it's better than other, it's just an impartial view on it
Is it true that he destroyed communism?
Kinda, it's about as true as saying that he destroyed Central America.
The eastern block was already a sinking ship and it already existed a lot of various groups pushing for independence or reforms.
Johannes paulus didn't really make things much better for the Soviet union either.
No, Communism destroyed George H.W. Bush
If you are referring to the fall of the USSR, according to Jegor Gaidar no.
They adjusted their speding on the high oil prices of the early 1980's and when the prices collapsed the leaders realized it too late, they weren't the most competent people in the world and the system had so many and so deep flaws that the collapse became inevitable.
Not sure if this is the right place, or if I should ask on /int/, but can anyone explain why Arab Muslims hate the Indonesian/East Asian Muslims? Is it just simple racism or is it a matter of complex doctrinal differences?
>>913799
Arabs hate everyone, including African Muslims. They even hate each other.
>>913799
Racism pretty much. Arabs are a bunch of rednecks to put it simply.
>>913799
They treat South Asian Muslims like dogshit too. I'm not even Muslim but I got treated way better in Saudi Arabia than the Muslim workers. They had no problem socializing w/me or even discussing religion. And I'm talking about old Arab dudes, not just young people.
I haven't found anything on my own, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a surviving piece of Etruscan writing. Even some of their alphabet would be great.
Also...Etruscan/Roman Conquest of Italy bread?

what is /his/ thoughts of it?
Dunno but it looks cool

Looks cool but useless for the most part. Generally admired by 17-18 year olds that first start looking into history.

North America has god-tier geography
Did you mean to post this on /n/?
>>913273
Actually I just wanted to hear from you /his/ anons about general intracoastal stuff. IW has influenced the development of America in lots of ways economic and historical and I think it's really interesting. So consider this a general thread, I guess.
Haven't had my coffee yet, probably could have worded my OP better.
Thanks for pointing out /n/ to me, I've never been there before
Can anyone provide the full TV broadcast from Iraq 1991 Gulf War of the two british RAF pilots shot down forced to give interview after torture?
John Nichols and John Peters.
Why is Kant so fucking overrated?
His "categorical imperative" is literally the simplest form of ethics and only appeals to little children. And his redefinition of the word "noumenon" is merely a repetition of platonic forms.

The Zero is the simplest thing ever and yet one of the most brilliant mathematic advances.
Most philosophers are overrated
Because Humefags still can't get over him

Holy shit /his/, I've spent the last week and a half looking for a good WW2 Pacific Theatre documentary and everything I've found is ether wrong, biased, or shit beyond compare. What would /his/torians consider the best documentaries for this part of the war?
Define "biased"
>>912385
There was one "documentary" that just blantently made the USS Enterprise look like the goddamn messiah of the war, and equated its presence anywhere as the reason of victory, needless to say it got old fast.
>>912369
You may check if BBC doesn't have something on it but it'll have focus on Burma and Malayas which may not be to your liking.
>>912389
I can recommend you "Keep the Battleship Advantage", by William Steerman but it's a book and it is biased in the other-way round(not even close to what you're saying though) but if you use it as a point of comparison with the CV messianic narrative you'll get a proper picture of naval conflicts in the...

If this thread get's off the ground, I'll make it a series.
Basically, what you do is search for crushing victory for a specified nation. We'll start with Britain.
Easy mode: Victory can be won by any of the three British nations (England, Scotland, Wales) but no Ireland.
Hard mode: Only by a unified Britain.
I'll start with an obvious one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Armada
Tomorrow we'll do France.

kek https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Trafalgar
>>912339
Well, I think the Battle of Gravelines was a more impressive feet, even if the Spanish did something very similar not too long later with the roles reversed.
At Trafalgar, the British ships and crew simply outclassed anything the Franco-Spanish fleet had. While at Gravelines, the English were outnumbered, and the Spanish had larger ships.
Does anyone here have a degree in World History and U.S. History? What job do you have? Do you like it?
I work at KFC for the last ~5 years.
I like it, it's better than than at Burger King, where I used to work before that. My boss is pretty cool too, let's us take 10 minutes cigarette breaks when it's not too busy.
I also got back together with my ex, so I gotta say, all in all I'm happy with my life.
