Mostly put him there as a meme, desu; realistically, he should go on low tier.

The school of Life is pretty good in my opinion, but it's more about history of philosophy and political thought
Was Charlemagne a real person?
>>399902
It's a well known fact that most people who lived before the invention of history in 1823 are considered to be mythical and not real.

I find the ethic cleansing in Anatolia to be a total tragedy. What would that region of the world look like today had Greece managed to secure this land before it was scrubbed of Greeks? What would a modern day Turkey look like with virtually no Western coast?

The greeks fucked up by invading anatolianif they didn't turkey would still have a sizable greek minority to this day.
>>399716
It wasn't a mistake. It was either that or continued extermination and neither the Greeks, the now communist Russia or the world would do anything about it, so you might as well salvage what you had left and get rid of muslims.
What actually was a mistake was thinking Turkey was civilized and would follow its treaties and thus exempting Greeks and muslims in Thrace and Imbros-Tenedos from the transfer, who the Turks pogrommed the shit up as soon as they got the chance.

Just like those Armenian and Assyrian minorities, am I right?
I saw a news article which confused me and i need the help of some historians.
Do the native French exist or not?
>>399608
The "native" French would be white, and white people cannot be natives.
Ergo, no Native French exist.
>>399612
Yeah the French high court just dismissed the concept of native French people.
>>399608
This is actually interesting because It puts the question regarding the division in ethnicity and nationality under the lupp.
Take the UK. You have Englishmen, Scotsmen and so on, and you would be able to say "I'm ethnicity English".
But it would be odd to say "I'm ethnicity British", wouldn't it? British is a national identity, not an technical.
Someone please correct me if I'm completely off.
How were armoured cars used and deployed in WW1? From what I imagine surely the terrain and the combat wouldn't really allow for these old cars to be driving around in.
>>398833
Hey fuck you, you weren't there man. We tried our best, alright?
>>398833
When Emperor Franz Josef was shown an armored car, he went "Such a thing would not have a military value."
Because
1) It was slower than a horse
2) It scared horses.
Early tanks mostly got bogged down, but they were used largely like they are today; as cover for infantry and clearing mg nests and other entrenched positions.
Later they used to carry large hay bales to help tanks cross trenches.

they demolished everything in sight and travelled from Nanjing to Mogadishu and Mecca. The only reason the technology didn't spread is that they were only built for 30 years or so, until confucian ministers decided the money was better spent on agriculture.

is the following statement true or false? why?
>Biblical Criticism has proven the bible to be a product of many different authors, most like not the ones named (Moses, Luke, Matthew etc), and many of the events of the OT and the NT are unlikely to have ever happened. Jesus was probably a very different figure from the one presented by tradition and Higher Criticism has proven false many claims of the established Christian tradition.

Thank you, OP, for not including Howard Zinn. Much appreciated.
Does she deserves all the praise she gets or she is just being pushed as an ancient feminist icon?
Does it really matter if the praise is warranted or not? This isn't even something that would be interesting to discuss, it's just lame gay subversive shit talk.
This will always devolve into two sides of the same retarded coin spouting shit.

Ethiopia
>Slavery was fundamental to the social, political and economic order of medieval Ethiopia. Racism in the territory was traditionally mainly directed at the Nilotic ethnic minorities, as well as other individuals with similarly pronounced "Negroid" physical features. Collectively, these groups are locally known as Shanqella or barya, derogatory terms originally denoting slave descent, irrespective of the individual's family history.[4][5]
Slaves in Ethiopia, 19th century.
Historically, the Shanqella constituted most of the slave labour in the ruling local Afro-Asiatic societies.[6] The Abyssinians (Habesha highlanders) were also noted as having actively hunted the Shanqella during the 19th century.[7] Following the abolition of the slave trade in the 1940s, the freed Shanqella and barya were typically employed as unskilled labour.[6]
Traditionally, racism against perceived barya transcended class and remained in effect regardless of social position or parentage.[8] Although other populations in Ethiopia also faced varying degrees of discrimination, little of that adversity was by contrast on account of racial differences. It was instead more typically rooted in disparities in class and competition for economic status. The Oromo and Gurage were thus, for example, not considered by the highlander groups as being racially barya, owing to their similar physical features and common Afro-Asiatic ancestry.>

Didn't Marcus Aurelius fuck the empire over by taking the senate out of Rome and making it travel with him which in turn somehow allowed people later on to claim to be emperor and start civil wars much more easily?
Hi guys. I'd like to learn history through audiobooks. I want to have an overall knowledge of history from prehistory to the mid 20th century.
I don't really know where to start. What would be some good audiobooks that I could listen to? Thanks.
>Hi
>audiobooks
>I'd like to learn history through audiobooks.
>I don't really know where to start.
Here's a start: learn to read books like everyone else, because you're not going to learn anything just by listening. Reading entails the compulsion to read (which implies you actually care about the subject) and the pace you set, and you're probably not going to rewind that audiobook if you stop listening momentarily, whereas you can just direct your eyes towards where you wandered off with a book. Taking notes, a practice you should naturally get into the habit of when studying history, is far more intuitive with a book, not to mention with ebooks, than the notes you will never take when listening to audiobooks. You might retain a vague memory of the historical narrative in an audiobook, but little else of any value.
tl;dr - stop being a lazy retard and read a book.
>I want to have an overall knowledge of history from prehistory to the mid 20th century.
is this the 'i listen to everything but country and rap' of history?
>>398258
You're an asshole
If you truly love the subject you should feel aroused that someone wants to get into it with his own means. This is a general board, learn some manners
>>398190
Librivox has few books related to history, I have started listening to "Geronimo's life" and it's petty good (even if I do it more like a listening exercise).
If you happen to know italian I would suggest you the historicast's collection.
Do christians put jesus over god?
muslims praise god all the time but christians seem to only praise jesus.
Why is that?
Shouldn't an omnipotent all powerful being be more important than any human.
>>398058
b8 thread I know
But as far as I know, to most major denominations of Christianity, Jesus = God.
>>398062
How is this a bait thread, does anything that doesn't fit your worldview automatically wrong? if so how do you learn?
Jesus wasn't god, he wasn't all powerful. He was superhuman for sure but if he was god he could easily will away all his problems.

>God as three consubstantial persons,[2] expressions, or hypostases:[3] the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit; "one God in three persons". The three persons are distinct, yet are one "substance, essence or nature".[4] In this context, a "nature" is what one is, while a "person" is who one is.[5][6][7]
>According to this central mystery of most Christian faiths,[8] there is only one God in three persons: while distinct from one another in their relations of origin (as the Fourth Lateran Council declared, "it is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds") and in their relations with one another, they are stated to be one in all else, co-equal, co-eternal and consubstantial, and "each is God, whole and entire".[9]
It's that time again, /his/.
Ask and comment about Hesychasm, Theoria, Theosis, Essence-Energies, Liturgics, anything that comes to mind.

God is supremely good. Of all creation that is capable of rational thought and free will, some are friends to God, some are His true servants, some are estranged, and there are others who, despite their weakness, take their stand against Him. We might imagine that God's friends are those angelic beings which surround him (Seraphim, Cherubim etc...). His true servants are those who sincerely attempt to do His will to the best of their ability. The estranged are those who have not yet met Christ. His opponents are those who go out of their way to attack Him and those who believe.
Lets focus on His true servants because that is all humanity can ever hope to be. In order to be His servant we first must attempt to know who He is. God is the life of all free beings. He is the salvation of all, of the just or the unjust, of the pious or the impious, and of the young or the old. He is like the sun's warmth which is the same for everyone without exception (Rom 2:11). An impious man is a rational being, one that must die, who willingly runs away from life. A Christian is one who attempts to imitate Christ in thought, word and deed to the best of their ability.
>>397512
The angelic friends of God live in a higher plane of existence which is uncorrupted by sin. These beings are capable of rational thought and attempt to influence our plane of existence when they can. Of course they are not omnipotent so their influence is limited to what God permits. The blessed man attempts to mirror his life to those angelic beings (who are themselves imitators of Christ). In his mind, the Christian attempts to spiritually raise himself up to heaven and perceive the world as Christ did, then act accordingly. We are incapable of perfectly achieving this goal, but the mere act of striving for it is a key to our redemption. The blessed sincerely believes the validity of God's commandments and does all that he can to obey them even through failure. Attempting to live righteously is a constant struggle within one's consciousness but by simply engaging in it we begin to imitate God Himself. Rejecting earthly values is the willing acceptance of ridicule in exchange for a spiritual kingdom.
Christians have many reasons to reject the world; either for the hope of things to come, or because of the number of their sins, or simply because they love God. Without these objectives, denial of the earthly pleasures would make no sense. We believe God will judge us if we do not prepare for Him and will likewise reward us if we love Him (Heb 11:6).
Those of us who wish to escape this worldly prison, to free ourselves from Pharaoh, need our own version of Moses to be our intermediary with God, to translate His will for us. Those who believe in God but attempt to serve Him on their own terms, without a leader, are deceiving themselves. We need someone to teach us how we can best serve God.
