Without lend-lease I don't think it's as sure a deal

If Barbarossa hadn't been delayed a few weeks, they would have taken Moscow - whether or not that would amount to anything more than a symbolic victory I cannot say

too many ifs

You mean on their own with US and British equipment?

not op but I wrote a paper for like a 1000 level class in college about the similarities between the Roman empire and whatever Chinese empire was contemporary, and also the spread of both Christianity and Buddhism. I would skim it again but im abou to leave for work so maybe later.

Wouldn't mind that anon.

So here goes a bumb for this thread.

But he is considered an anti-hero. He turned the Soviet Union into a global super power with an almost unmatched industrial might.

Stalin enabled Judeo-Bolshevism. He was a half Jew, his fathers last name was Jughashvili, which means Son of the Jew in Georgian. He's caused way more deaths than Hitler and it's not even close.

the british were not. the people in charge of britain were. the british are not a special people, culturally genetically or otherwise. they had a confluence of geopolitical factors and leadership that led them to widespread colonialism.

Industrial revolution and the naval dominance that arose from that mostly.

I think in a lot of ways it would be better and also worse.
The KMT was a very corrupt, dysfunctional and actually somewhat oppressive at first and China would have faced turmoil under their rule because of this and probably dictatorship (Taiwan was somewhat like this for a while iirc). So China would have a fairly poor time coming into the second half of the 20th century.

China's population is potentially lower as Mao never tells the people to have as many children as possible so China's population is probably more reserved though still very high.

Chinese culture is better preserved without Mao as the culture revolution never happens and idols, artefacts and other things from the past are never destroyed and many Chinese traditions are still practiced and religion still widely observed.

Without Mao China never sees Deng Xipang's economic reforms which set it on the path of being a world power so China possibly does not rise up like it has today.

China may see more liberties in modern day because the CCP does not censor the internet, control journalist, crack down on religion.

Tibet is possibly free, I'm unsure of the KMT's stance towards it.

No Taiwan conflict, it's just another part of China with some Japanese cultural influence.

Living standards possibly higher with KMT as the communist period doesn't destroy infrastructure and ravage the country, I would probably imagine it being around Thailands level of development.

My ideas aren't great, I for the most see a China that would possibly better off, freer and less populated that is more in touch with its past and culture but it never becomes a world power or economic giant. Possibly better for the average Chinese but not for the future

This is what I'm seeing.

Political situation vaguely like India, but with more development, less poo, and more authoritarianism.

>>2830805
Yes. It could became South Korea x 10.
But Mao won because of massive capitulation of Kai-shek's leaders and probably himselve.

internet autism has two concrete symptoms that apply to most all cases:

1. hatred of anything that requires imagination and intuition, which is why they're all NEETs

and

2. the belief that being depressive and anti-social are signs of intelligence rather than symptoms of brain damage

intelligent people dont brag about how smart they are on the internet except to troll pseud brainlet aspies

>“The Mohammedan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. The Islamic historians and scholars have recorded with great glee and pride the slaughters of Hindus, forced conversions, abduction of Hindu women and children to slave markets and the destruction of temples carried out by the warriors of Islam during 800 AD to 1700 AD. Millions of Hindus were converted to Islam by sword during this period.”

>“The Muslim conquests, down to the 16th century, were for the Hindus a pure struggle of life and death. Entire cities were burnt down and the populations massacred, with hundreds of thousands killed in every campaign, and similar numbers deported as slaves. Every new invader made (often literally) his hills of Hindus skulls. Thus, the conquest of Afghanistan in the year 1000 was followed by the annihilation of the Hindu population; the region is still called the Hindu Kush, i.e. Hindu slaughter.”

>The Afghan ruler Mahmud al-Ghazni invaded India no less than seventeen times between 1001 – 1026 AD. The book ‘Tarikh-i-Yamini’ – written by his secretary documents several episodes of his bloody military campaigns : “The blood of the infidels flowed so copiously [at the Indian city of Thanesar] that the stream was discoloured, notwithstanding its purity, and people were unable to drink it…the infidels deserted the fort and tried to cross the foaming river…but many of them were slain, taken or drowned… Nearly fifty thousand men were killed.”

Well, for starters, the Holocaust was a hell of a lot more than just Auschwitz.

But if you're looking into cremation capacity, you don't need to look much further than this.

https://archive.org/stream/BodyDisposalAtAuschwitzTheEndOfHolocaustDenial/BDA_djvu.txt

tl;dr, Nazis own documentation cites an ability to incinerate 4756 bodies a day come the middle of 1943. The camp started to evacuate in late december of 1944, and was fully finished in the close of January 1945. That gives roughly a year and a half of "full capacity", which gives a crematory capacity of about 2.6 million for that time period, even if they're not supplemented by outdoor burning or other body disposal methods which they did occasionally use. That's well, well higher than the 1.1-1.3 million estimate for Auschwitz's death total.

>he deniers say theres no way it was 6 mil cause not enough (fast) ovens

Because deniers are blatantly dishonest. No historian or anyone has ever claimed 6 million were gassed, in fact most of the killings were done by lining them up and shooting or going through villages killing everyone they can find.

My thoughts are that it's a shame there probably isn't a hell because Truman deserves burning in it forever.

He's grossly incompetent.

After the shit Japanese pulled in China and Manchuria (Nanking, Unit 731), how they treated allied PoWs (Bataan death march), and overall complete disregard for the civilian lives of countries they occupied, it was completely justified, in fact they got off easy, if you ask me.

He does approach the topics in a simple manner and if you are a complete illiterate on the topic it's a good start. You should however research the classics. Reade Keynes

It depicts life as it is: it's full of death and suffering, yet it's still meaningful.

Define thrive and prosper, and remember the neo-conservatives are not true conservatives, nor are the neo-liberals truly liberal.

>>2843047
The terms "Conservative", and "Liberal" and their equivalents, have referred to wide variety of ideologies. This isn't a question that can be awnsered.

>>2843047
>liberal left or the conservative right
Define:
>liberal
>conservative

also I get an impression that you're a burger who seems to think these two are the only distinctions and are all-encompassing
