Didn't occur.

Catholic church has recorded numerous miracles even up through the 20th century

Choosing to side with Hitler was undoubtedly his greatest mistake. Although in fairness, he had told Hitler that Italy wasn't remotely prepared to fight another war yet. Hitler went all Leroy Jenkins and screwed everything up.

He just should have stayed neutral, like Franco.
His idea's of restoring Roman Empire were retarded.

>>2814689
Sort of, the kulaks did sperg out and start burning their crops and killing their animals rather than have them stolen from them. The ukranians were also very anti the soviet government and one of the most bougiouse attitude wise.

>>2814689
Yes

We wuz da victims n shiet, we dindu nuffin!

Stalin was a good person that knew he was smart as fuck, so he did whatever he could to keep himself in power.Also, Stalin saved the slavic race.Otherwise Hitler's regime would've wiped everyone out a la Auschwitz

Dumb assholes who got what they deserved.

I want a general discussion, not Muslim diatribes about why Arab imperialism was a work of God.

Athens lost.

Spartan discipline was their greatest advantage and was the most important factor in hoplite warfare. They were professional soldiers unlike other states although this counted less than you would think.

The only relevant event featuring anglo saxons is them getting gangraped1066

>>2813888
For a large part of history, the Anglo-Saxons were weaker than the Vikings, hence Danelaw. It wasn't until Alfred the Great could unify the various Anglo-Saxons that the Vikings were consistently defeated.

Video related. For our purposes, you can skip to the 1 minute mark.

>Watching the Last Kingdom
The books are superior

Overrated

The first one is much more underated so much closer to falling

Maybe, maybe not. It wouldnt have changed much, because the Turks wouldnt have got any further and Vienna would have been regained shortly after (and with Austria+Friends probably pushing ahead into Hungary the Great Turkish War would have developed the same just as if Vienna had not fallen)

>>2813689
I dont know if the danger of the town falling was larger (the Turks left most of their artillery behind if I remember rightly), but the Ottoman Empire was far more powerful in relation to the other european powers, so the consequences might have been more harsh

But on the other hand Vienna in the 16th century was a lot smaller and unimportant then in the 17th century

Basically anyone who moved to Ukraine/south-western Russia and wanted to join

They were a group of people from many varying cultures and backgrounds that lived on the steppes of southern Russia. They worked in service of the Russian empire and in return enjoyed high levels of autonomy and protection from the Russian empire.

They weren't a race, really. They were militarized societies founded by a bunch of Slavs aping Turkic/Steppenigger lifestyle and military tactics in order to fight such barbarians and defend Orthodox Christian communities.

Hence their weapons and fashion have Turkic/Central Asian influences. The name itself came from the Cuman word "Kassak" or some shit, meaning "Freeman."

Free people of peasants, pirates (they had boats) and mercenaries living along the Dniepr (for the Zaporozhian Cossacks, Ukrainians) and the Don (for the Don Cossacks, Russians).

Good question. The kneejerk reaction would be yes but there's a good argument to be made humans were better beforehand. I think the industrial revolution itself was very good, such as improvements to agriculture and the like, but byproducts of it can be negative.

I like having electricity and not having to die by the age of 40.

>>2812793
Nice meme response.

BTW, you're still going to die by the age of 40, but it won't be because of the common cold so I guess it's okay?

They would probably start throwing rocks at it.

That woman is both skinny and tanned, which would have implied lower class.

>>2812453
I don't care who you are. That woman is gorgeous. The fact that Europeans couldn't stop from procreating with black women in South America proves that even racists can't stop their dicks from feeling attraction to africans.

He's a villain, but I root for him anyway

Political and military genius, plus the luckiest man alive. A populist demagogue who connived to gain absolute power, yet in his politics he genuinely sought to fix the problems which have been plaguing the Republic since the Gracchi.

The south was largely Democrat until Johnson pushed through the civil rights act. They were called the dixiecrats for a reason.
