I don't think OP knows what Eurocentrism is. Then again, we are on 4chan.

Eurocentrism describes curricula* that focuses primarily on Europeans.

*This obviously does not refer to classes like "History of Western Europe" but refers to things that are not necessarily about Europe, i.e the world at large, but end up being explicitly about Europe.

Why everytime I tell people I like to read about black history they get surprised and tell me is very short or doesn't exist?

I'm already starting to get tired of this BS, having to explain the same basic facts over and over again.

Railroads.

While it's true they're better than digging a canal, the difference is pretty small. Everyone talks about how railroads revolutionized transportation when they only marginally better than canals.

To prove my point, look at the work of Robert Vogel and Albert Fishlow.

Agreed but they are also of no harm on their own and if they are not detrimental they should be kept.
>>
>>2813150
If they are of no harm or value why should they be kept rather than changed for something that might have value?

So I just finished reading pic related and it was pretty eye opening. Really put the later roman republic into perspective.

Could someone recommend more ideology books, that is to say books containing ideas that nations were built around?
Communist manifesto is pretty obvious.

I've seen this floating around online of how the US has been at war for almost all of the years it has existed and seen people draw from this conclusions about the USA. However, I've never seen how this compares to other nations. Do you guys know the percentage of years other nations have been at war throughout their history? I'd like to know if the USA is an unusual case when it comes to this or pretty typical of the average country.

Also, feel free to squabble about the legitimacy of this chart if you like.

define "war"

what are the "peacetime years"? was probably purging indians or muslims at the time.
>>
>>2813092
The peacetime years in this chart were 1796, 1797, 1807, 1808, 1809, 1826, 1828, 1829, 1830, 1897, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1977, and 2000.

I'm not sure how the source defined war but here is the source I'm talking about: http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2015/02/america-war-93-time-222-239-years-since-1776.html

NYC already had significant black and Puerto Rican populations at this time. And of course, "white" America was divided between WASPs and ethnics.
