>>2816876

I've been wanting to read a thing on the French Revolution and I will definitely add this to my list of books to check out on the topic
Finished pic related not too long ago. Very good look into a wide range of topics about the Romans from Romulus to Caracalla, a lot about the everyday life of Romans of all classes and locations. Very comfy.

Redpill me on the Northern Cities Vowel Shift /his/, what is it? When did it start? Why did it start?
>>2816185
What: obviously a vowel shift. The most obvious is pronouncing "bag" like "bayg" etc. Also the cot-caught merger is common in these regions.
When: 19th century
Why: I don't think linguists have tried to explain that.
>>2816219
>Also the cot-caught merger is common in these regions.
I thought the shift prevented the cot-caught merger?
>>2816219
also: could you post an example of what someone with the shift sounds like? I haven't been able to find any
Why did they keeping trying to make it work for seventy four fucking years? You'd think after Stalin they'd say "Oh, maybe this is actually a terrible system of governance and we shouldn't keep it going?
>>2816123
Because other states were supposed to flip and then help Russia
Have you seriously not studied Marxist-Leninism
>>2816123
>become world superpower
>terrible system of governance
>>2816146
>Millions starve to death and are routinely murdered wherever it holds territory
Yeah, definitely the fucking paradise right there, lad

I want to learn about pre-Revolution French history, what are some good books and documentaries?
>>2816061
i dont mean to sound like an asshole but honestly there is an absolute fuckton of info out there about the time you're describing.
Are you thinking more specifically about the state of the french monarchy in the century or two leading up to the revolution? Back when they were called the Gauls? Medieval France? The Carolingians?
theres just so much that i ant imagine you would have trouble finding a good book about it.
interesting

Why is everyone obsessed with France on here?
What if he never got shot and won the Presidency?
The Kennedy's were literally NatSoc.(((They))) didn't want the goyim to start becoming too aware of what was going on. The family had high respect for Hitler and was well aware of how shitty Europe had become. It's highly likely that (((they))) were behind the deaths of the family until they kept their goy mouths shut
>"My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
Read that quote again and think about how outraged the modern day leftists would be if Trump uttered such a phrase.
>>2816086
Hot damn, your little revisionist echo chamber has gotten out of hand.
>In 1960, Kennedy stated: "Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom."
Back to your containment board now.

Anyone who's not a retard understands how valuable it is to allow jews to have their own country. If you think the west is cucked now, imagine how shitty it would be if millions of jews moved back to europe or to the US. Yikes.

FRENCH-HABSBURG WARS, in the end, who won ?
France, they beat the living shit out of the habsburgs
Italian Wars - Tie
Thirty Years War - French victory, weakened the HRE and ended Spain's power
War of the Spanish Succession - French victory, French king on the throne
French Revolution/Napoleonic Wars - Defeat after defeat for the Austrians/HRE, + Napoleon destroyed the HRE ( He also burried Spain even more, if that counts )
>>2815347
>France, they beat the living shit out of the habsburgs
>Italian Wars - Tie
Holy shit.Spain stomped France in every war from 1494-1647 until the big perfidous moves of supporting the protestants happened
That's not the question, France stomped them both every time since after the thirty years war so I guess that makes them winners ?
What if Hitler decided to surrender? What do you think the the Americans/Soviets would do with him?
Hang him like the other Nazi leaders, most likely.
>>2815106
>>2815097
That depends on what stage of the war he decided to surrender. If he surrendered before Operation Barbarossa then he would have been jailed but not killed. However, after Barbarossa his death was inevitable. The Soviets would never have accepted any outcome other than death penalty.

What are the best talk shit get hit moments in history?
>May 30, 1967: "The world will know that the Arabs are girded for battle as the fateful hour approaches."
>"The armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon are poised on the borders of Israel . . . . to face the challenge, while standing behind us are the armies of Iraq, Algeria, Kuwait, Sudan and the whole Arab nation. This act will astound the world. Today they will know that the Arabs are arranged for battle, the critical hour has arrived. We have reached the stage of serious action and not declarations." – Nasser, May, 30, 1967 after signing a defense pact with Jordan's King Hussein
>I as a military man, believe that the time has come to enter into a battle of annihilation." – Syrian Defense Minister Hafez Assad, May 20, 1967
>"Our two brotherly countries have turned into one mobilized force. The withdrawal of the UN forces ... means 'make way, our forces are on their way to battle.'" – Foreign Minister Makhous on his return from Cairo
>"We want war. War is the only way to settle the problem of Israel. The Arabs are ready." – Yemeni Foreign Minister Salam
>"D-Day is approaching. The Arabs have waited 19 years for this and will not flinch from the war of liberation." – Ahmed Shukairy, Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, May 27, 1967
>"This is a fight for the homeland – it is either us or the Israelis. There is no middle road. The Jews of Palestine will have to leave. We will facilitate their departure to their former homes. Any of the old Palestine Jewish population who survive may stay, but it is my impression that none of them will survive." – Shukairy, June 1, 1967
>"We shall destroy Israel and its inhabitants and as for the survivors – if there are any – the boats are ready to deport them." – Shukairy, June 1, 1967, speaking at a Friday sermon in Jerusalem
Who won?
Germany 1939-1945
