Why does China throughout history have had such poor military traditions overall?
Eras where the Chinese empire successfully militarily expanded were considered an abnormality, not an expected outcome.
Low testosterone.

Not looking for "the redpill" about Christianity. I'm just curious if there is any actual historical cases of a Satanic murder cult or a community of actual Satan worshipers? Did the pagans actually worship Lucifer? or just some goat deity?

I've been raised a Protestant, and I've recently become convinced that praying to Mary and the Saints isn't wrong. But whenever I try to do it I feel awkward.
How do you guys choose what saint to pray to?
Who is your favorite saint to pray to?
How often do you pray to saints instead of God?
Is there anything else I should know?
Enjoy divine retribution you damned idolator.
>>692219
Nooo!
Don't do it anon!
Why pray to other human beings instead of god?
Do you worship your ancestors too?
The sponge soaked in vinegar offered to Christ.
Was this a act of kindness, or given that the Romans wiped their arses with sponges on a stick, to degrade him further?
Huh. Never thought of that. Cool.
>>691922
Roman soldiers were issued with a wine that was almost vinegar and how do you suggest they give Jesus the drink while nailed on a cross. The stabbing of Jesus with the spear was most likely merciful too, ensuring him a rather quick death compared to slow agony on the cross.
>>691978
I'm not asking for the mechanism of giving him a drink, I'm asking if they were actually giving him a drink or just rubbing shit in his face.
Aside the US, what is the most important country in America?
Historically speaking of course
France

Sorry I thought you meant in the rest of the world.
Probably Brazil.
Mesopotamia
Too much overhype for Alexander and Nappy but people barely mention this guy, Why ?
>>690959
He didn't have all that much interesting about him besides the guy that he defeated.
>>691005
At least he proved his talents. While Wellington is truly meme general.
Exception: the Italian national anthem
Was he a war criminal?
This was the 1940s - laser guided bombs did not exist. Precision bombing was impossible.
No, he was great.
"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."
"I do not personally regard the whole of the remaining cities of Germany as worth the bones of one British Grenadier. It therefore seems to me that there is one and only one valid argument on which a case for giving up strategic bombing could be based, namely that it has already completed its task and that nothing now remains for the Armies to do except to occupy Germany against unorganized resistance."
"We are going to scourge the Third Reich from end to end. We are bombing Germany city by city and ever more terribly in order to make it impossible for her to go on with the war. That is our object; we shall pursue it relentlessly."
"People talk a lot about picking out targets and bombing them, individual small targets – in the European climate? I’ve come to the conclusion that people who say that sort of thing not only have never been outside, but they’ve never looked out of a window."
"In spite of all that happened at Hamburg, bombing proved a relatively humane method."
no because he was never charged with or convicted of a war crime
also if the Germans didnt like it they should have surrendered
also if the Germans didnt like it why didnt they say anything after Warsaw, Rottterdam, Stalingrad etc
oh right
because as long as it happened to other people they didnt give a shit
I'm curious if any Roman Catholic think there are members of Propaganda Due among their ranks. There were two Freemasons as Patriarchs of Constantinople (both pushed hard to liberalize the Church), and we feel just like you do about Freemasonry (automatic excommunication); the only reason we found out is because the Freemasons straight said, "These guys were Masons." So I'm just curious if that could have happened with Rome. I mean, the "Vatican's Banker" was a member of Propaganda Due, so I don't think it's out of the question, they're probably just a lot more cautious than the Freemason branch in Greece.
>>690616
I'm a Freemason and a Catholic and there are plenty of others I know personally, including members of the clergy.
>>690621
You do realize Masons worship Baal, right?
>>690631
Nice meme.
The Bible states explicitly that Mary is the mother of Jesus (Matthew 2:11) and the Mother of the Lord (Luke 1:43). If you do not acknowledge that Mary is the Mother of God, then you are obliquely suggesting Jesus is not God. Saying Mary is the Mother of God, is an affirmation of Christ's divinity.
Mary was just a slag who cheated on her husband.
>>690546
Jesus himself doesn't call her mother. He calls her "woman".
>>690551
That's generally how you addressed your mother then. "Woman" wasn't a derogatory term.
What nation impact on history was worst? To me worst are mongols. They destroyed many cultures and world would probably be much better without their invasion. You can't really made such statements about Rome or even Islamic Caliphates for example.
goddamn that was a real nice flag
Britain
Pillaged the world to make their dirt poor shithole livable and ripped off culture and ideas from all their conquered subjects and produced sub-standard versions of those things, exactly what their monopoly system produced.

Russian is here. What happened during the WWII on the Pacific Front, specificly between Japanese Empire and USA? Enlighten me on this subject, as many people here I have no idea how big that war was.
It was probably the largest naval war in history.
The ground combat was more subdued, as the Americans never fought the Japanese on mainland Asia.
There was a massive, and often overlooked campaign to bring supplies to the Nationalist Chinese over the Himalayas from India. It would actually serve as the blueprint for the Berlin airlift a few years later.
The British managed to prevent the Japanese from pouring into India through Burma, but didn't manage to go on the offensive until 1944.
The Americans managed to beat the Japanese fleet fairly quickly considering that US policy had always been to destroy Germany first. From 1941 to 1945, the US surged West across the Pacific, having to dig the Japs out of every island in the Pacific as they went.
Meanwhile, there was another large, mostly forgotten American campaign. From the outset of the war, the US started using submarines to raid the Japanese military and civilian ships. by 1945, this campaign was so successful that when the US annexed Japan, the first thing they needed to go was ship in massive amounts of food because Japan wasn't self sufficient in food and the Japanese cargo fleet was all sunk.
Eventually, the US island hopping campaign reached the point where the US could conduct strategic bombing against the Japanese home islands, and the US flattened every major city in Japan.
The Japanese had been moving forces back to the home islands in anticipation of a massive US invasion, but ultimately surrendered once the atomic bombings took away their last, tiny little hope of victory.
Japan overextended then the USA outproduced them while maintaining a good K/D ratio.
Also Japan's bombers were notoriously bad at hitting their targets.

7 December 1941 happens, Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor. It isn't as effective as hoped because none of the three carriers in the Pacific Fleet were there during the attack, and so they give a huge opportunity for the US to launch a counter-offensive after beating the IJN at Midway.
From there it's pretty much just a long struggle of rooting the Japanese out from every single occupied island in the Pacific.
Why is truth good?
Hmm... never wondered that.
>>688511
Exactly.
>>688520
Okay...
