Riddle me this, /his/
Tell how can Muhammed, the illiterate goat herder/merchant who lived his whole life in Mecca (a city that's known not to have Christians or Jews), start reciting stories about Abrahamic prophets?

Cao Cao a best
It was all for the greater good.
You can question the morals of falsely accusing 1 official of embezzlement to appease your troops and help bring peace to the land sooner all you want, but all things considered Cao Cao had to do things like this.

How was prussia militaristic?
I mean they don't seem very different than other great powers of the time.
If you want a fantastic rendition of exactly why Prussian discipline was the absolute pinnacle of what could be, take this American journalist in Brussels in 1914, when the German army (obviously based on the Prussian ideal, so i'd say its fair to say its Prussian) advanced through it.

Got it from Carlin's Hardcore History podcast. Definetly worth a listen, as he will go into great detail as to why the German army in 1914 is just so hella cool.

wtf I love Imperial Germany now?!?!
I think its simply that prussian virtues mostly are also related to militaristic virtues.
Why do Mohammedans wish peace upon Mohammed every time they utter his name? He's been dead and at peace for centuries.
Shut up kuffar
>>2798072
Why do people act like Muslims worship Muhammad?
>>2800198
Because a lot of them do; same as how a lot of Christians worship Jesus.
Anyone here know of any scripture or historical/contemporary accounts on a description of what Jesus looks like? Beyond the basic features Aramaic-speaking Jewish palestinian. Does such a thing exist?
Better yet, do we have first hand contemporary accounts describing the features of figures before 1 AD? Just for posting here for shots.
>>2797970
There's a reason why the bible never mentions the skin color of Jesus, it's really not supposed to matter. Jesus wasn't described as looking majestic or anything, he never stood out. There's zero chance of him looking like a pale blonde haired/blue eyed Northern European man. He most likely looked like a mizrachi Jew.
>>2799611
Wrong. Palestine was known since Greek times.

What historical misconceptions do you hate the most?
>WW1 took place just in trenches
>nobody used horses in WW2
WTF, Austrian troops in Jerusalem ?
>>2797872
Faggots thinking that Deus vult, when obviously Deus did not actually vult
>nobody used horses in WW2
Is it common to think like this?
Here in Finland, during the war we used alot of horses, maybe because Finland was just a dirty third world country back then, at least outside of any major city.
Is there a good place where I can get a detailed analysis on Hitler's Personality and personal life?
>>2797422
Yes

Why to Blacks freak out about African colonization when actual large scale conquest of the continent only last around 80 years? You'd think Europeans had ruled them for 500 years the way they talk about it.
>>2797215
Why is Ethiopia so based?
Because they killed billions on them, destroyed their culture and stole all the richness. Who cares about arbitrary numbers of years after such great damage was done.
>>2797215
Because there are some examples of really atrocious things happening like the Congo free state. But, also many of these nations build their national narrative around gaining independence from unjust empires much like the United States with Britain or more specifically the British King (Even though he had little effect over it)
Which region of Europe is your favorite and why?

Wow it's fucking garbage.
Were marble busts necessary? They kinda look creepy.
You think that's creepy? Just wait till you get to the 5th century busts.
>>2795563
Maybe he really looked like that.
>>2795555
Its not much less creepy in clay
Could the longbow penetrate plate armour or was Anglo propaganda?
>>2793504
There's no known instances of it doing so. Probably not, although not 100% certain that it couldn't penetrate period plate.
>>2793504
Depends what era, very late armor there was no chance but it could penetrate earlier plate.
>>2793504
under optimal circumstances, sure. No armor makes the wearer invulnerable.

but it didn't completly BTFO plate armor either.
