Hey /his/,
There are many people who believe that the Europeans brought "civilization" to the New World. However, numerous complicated ancient civilizations existed before Europeans arrived on the American continents. Civilizations like the Anasazi Indians.
-form your own opinions, mine will be in the post that follows-
As we recall the various times America has been declared a “New World”, we must ultimately direct our attention towards its true age. In fact, the “New World” is really an “Old World” when we look aforetime during the pre-Columbian cultures. Specifically, looking at North America, a vast assortment of other Natives grew upon the land.
For example, beginning 12,000 to 15,000 years ago (among the Western Hemisphere), Siberians supposedly traveled across the Bearing Strait to reach Alaska in search of large game animals. After finding themselves in the American...

Indians were relatively civilized in some areas, contact with Europeans really devastated them through disease. It was going to happen at some point or another.

Is this really a question?
Napoleon's face is something impressive on its own. He reminds me of Mads Mikkelsen.
Why are these people not part of Mongolia? They are literally Mongolian.

Russkies quietly annexed them while WW2 was still going on.
There's a documentary called Tuva - Independent People that explains what happens there.

Russia didn't want Mongolia to have a monopoly on throat singing

He was Anonymous, may be a writer of Ancient Egypt tales or Ancient Sumer tales.
And often modern people do not call him prophet because his religion dead now, because religons are mortals.
What must it have been like to be a French soldier, when Napoleon returned from exile?
It must have been like watching Christ resurrected. What a crisis of loyalty it must have caused.

Well, you had to choose between a fat incompetent old king who had executed thousands of your fellow veterans for "treason" and had already managed to get the pleb butthurt at him in a few months of ruling, or the godlike Emperor who ruled the country in great fairness and lead the armies to glory countless times

And yet many of the Marshals didn't return to his side.
What was Anglo-Saxon Christianity like?
Orthodox Christianity with Western style icons, vestments and rites.
>>595339
It was predominantly Celtic based at first with men like St. Aidan and St. Cuthbert being its chief architects.
However, St. Wilfrid lead a movement that ultimately allowed Roman influence to become primary.
And of course the Anglo-Saxons were the first of the Germanic peoples to embrace Christ so their Northern heritage added a unique element to the mix
Are they any good books on the subject.
For like rites and the theology of their beliefs.
Can we really coexist with eachother?

Yes. Empires have been quite successful at that before Nationalism duped groups into thinking they're special snowflakes.

Nope. I'm afraid you'll have to be liberated by the Red Army.
Dear /his/, enlighten me on the history of Iberia.
>How has Spain and Portugal managed to live together for so long without clashing, or am I wrong on that point altogether?
>How did the Portugese manage to end, and stay on the western side of the region?
>What happened to the Moors?
etc. etc.
>How has Spain and Portugal managed to live together for so long without clashing, or am I wrong on that point altogether?
They fought each other a lot, mostly Spain trying to annex it. Usually Portugal and England vs Spain and France.
>How did the Portugese manage to end, and stay on the western side of the region?
The County of Portucale was given to Henry, the father of the first portuguese king.
>What happened to the Moors?
Reconquistas, deus vult

Basically this

It's also necessary to mention that there were attempts to unify the Iberian Peninsula through marriage. All of which failed as you can see. Closest to there being a Iberian union was after D.Sebastião's death, with Philip II of Spain.

Seriously?

What television shows, films, books, etc... are the best example of bad history being portrayed as real history/accurate reenactments of history?
>pic fucking related what the fuck
>>594601
Rome.
Vikings
Any x-treem history channel show, there has never been a good one, ever.
>>594607
Rome isn't that bad. It's actually pretty enjoyable and they at least manage to get the broad strokes right and the set design is top fucking notch and period accurate.
Agree about Vikings and most other historical fiction shows.
