not true. Every Confederate State was notedly behind northern ones in economic development.

They exported slave cotton and that was about it. North was industrializing.

What does /his/ think of AP world history? This is for American high school students taking a college-level course. A exam is going to be taken in two days by several hundred thousands kids.

That was one of my school's standard AP classes for sophomore year.

Shit was easy, I was delirious and fading in and out of lucidity during the whole thing and I pulled a 4.

I remember when I was going into my softmore year it was available. Applied for it as well as 4 honors classes, made it into all 4 but not APWH :( and I loved/love history. That's why I'm fucking here.

They now absolutely try to destroy Environmental Determinism as an approach to the progress of civilizations throughout most of the actual geography unit of the class. Took a look at the review book I recommended to my class and it literally states that it is a racist bigoted false theory used by 19th century imperialists to justify their behavior. Makes it seem like a bunch of greedy politicians created it rather than Aristotle. Showing my class Guns, Germs, and Steel after the test date just to make sure that they don't get the idea the class was trying to push onto them.

t. Tajik but knows zero things about Tajikistan

One thing I am curious about is how similar the culture of Tajikistan is to Afghanistan and Iran. These three countries make up the Persianate branch of the Middle East/Central and South Asia. Because of this, the history and culture surrounding them is fascinating.

You introduced pederasty into my culture and then later wiped it away from your own so we're known as kid fuckers world wide thanks a lot.

>>2785330
My dad was the son of an Afghan UN diplomat who fled to Paris with just his family and the clothes he had on two weeks before the 40th army's arrival (you know, back when Afghans weren't animals) soooooo it wasn't us hon

I'd love to learn about your culture though. Care to share?
>>
>>2785345
I don't how to explain culture online desu.

You (probably) eat Afghan food so there's one thing. The clothes can vary on which state you go to but it's very similar.

It also goes without saying that Islam plays a large role too...

What do you recommend for a good introduction or all-around book dedicated to Nazi Germany?
38 posts and 6 images submitted.

The rise and fall of the third reich by William Shirer is definitely the definitive book on the subject.

Be prepared for a 1000+ page tome though.

Not OP but what does it get into? What are some things it covers generally?
>>
>>2785099
Literally just avoid Anglo and American historians. Them writing about nazi Germany is like a Zimbabwean writing about medieval Russia.

What if the Cold War went hot (not nuclear, mind you, just conventional)? I've read all sorts of fiction during this era about what would have happened.

Option A: Soviets invade West Germany
Option B: Soviets flank north through the Scandinavians
Option C: Sino-Soviet split escalates
Option D: Crisis in the Middle East escalates

So, /his/, what is the most reasonable option(s)? What year would it have occurred? Pay in mind I'm talking mostly about a conventional war, but I could understand some sort of limited nuclear engagement.

I need to write a research paper for my western civ class (1500ad-modern era) and Im gonna go with a topic involving WW1 or 2 since those are my strongest areas. I want to cover something interesting and not as well known about as say the holocaust or America's entrance into ww1, any suggestions? I wouldnt mind exploring tangible and fact based conspiracy theories about WW1.

As of now I am thinking about making it about the last Kaiser or something about the Stormtrooper tactics(ww1)

Submarine warfare was an interesting strategic conundrum in ww1. Specifically the decision to switch to unrestricted submarine warfare.

Q-Ships and the Battle for the Atlantic during the First World War would be an interesting topic.

I recently made a DNA test. My father was from Sierra Leone and I found out something quite extraordinary: from his side of the family I had some Papuan and Native American from the Amazon area. As we all know, these were not places from which people travelled to other countries or continents. How on earth could a Papuan from Oceania or an Amazonian from South America end up in Africa? These were all countries that were visited by the Portuguese who had slaves, right? However, I'm not aware from which countries they had slaves from. What do you guys think?

I hope this will spark some interesting conversation. Thank you.

>Pic related, that's probably how my great-great-great-great-great-etc-grandmother looked like.

That's what I assumed as well. Especially since the percentage was so low. I'd like to make another DNA test from a more renown company just to make sure.
