He made a video about this, apparently KSA didn't want him and his army of edge lords to defend the kingdom against Saddam, they opted to allow the us military, apparently this is what sent him over the edge.

yes karl was a good boy

Any proof that Marx supported the idea of voluntary communism? It's quite obvious that the creators of the game sympathize with his views which is quite disgusting. I heard they also whitewash Lenin but I don't know anything more.

There's proof he supported the idea of violent, compulsory communism.

>In depicting the most general phases of the development of the proletariat, we traced the more or less veiled civil war, raging within existing society, up to the point where that war breaks out into open revolution, and where the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie lays the foundation for the sway of the proletariat.

Persia could've 'survived' the way the Romans had if the Shah had just given up and retreated across the mountains, instead of desperately trying and failing to drive them back out of Mesopotamia.

i just read about the battle of yarmouk yesterday. apparently heraclius himself would be the one who would originally lead the army had he not been sick. his original plan was for the army to move quickly and avoid pitched battle but the garrison commander went and sallied out against khalid's army anyway and the disaster happened.

the more i read about the islamic conquest the more i realized how fucking lucky they have been, imagine if khalid faced heraclius, the hero who ended the byzantine-persian wars instead.

Islam

Alcohol is bad and forbidden
Music is bad
Dogs are bad
Drawing living creatures like humans and animals is forbidden

Even without terrorism they would be a puritanical anticulture cult.

> am American mutt

Is his claim a true/false?

Henry Darnall was the founder of Maryland so yeah there might be a connection there.

He wasn't a nobleman though, he was the son of an obscure barrister. He accumulated a fair degree of wealth by being a servant of the Calvert family but his family wasn't particularly well off.

This is now a Germanic thread

Pretty much, they knew they couldn't win it, they knew the only chance to avoid it was to stop their imperial ambitions in SE and decided to go full retard instead.

No. It was a good idea, executed poorly.

>>2766238
Well their options were to wait for the oil to run out and then america attacks them, or try to attack first and knock american fleet out quickly. Obviously just giving up and surrenering would have been much wiser but for a bunch of imperialists thats not really an option.

Once the Romans lost control of the Mediterranean it became "Pirates of the Mediterranean: The Curse of the Black Pearl"

While pirates no doubt existed the Vandals kicked it up a level in the 400s when they captured North Africa.

Piracy was only stopped finally from that region once the French finished them off in the middle of the 1800s.


Pirates also became a problem from Anatolia and the Balkans under the Ottomans.

Naturally southern Italy not only serves as a great center point of the Mediterranean but a perfect target for pirates.

Today its poor situation is probably a mix of corruption, lack of investment in comparison to the more famous areas of Italy (which are only famous because of their success historically). From my understanding the Mafia originated in southern Italy.

>A strange republic of Sebvian pirates arose at the mouth of the Narenta. In the 10th century description of Dalmatia by Constantine Porphyrogenitus (De Administrando Imperio, pp. 29-37), this region is called Pagania, from the fact that its inhabitants had only accepted Christianity about 890, or 250 years later than the other Slavs. These Pagani, or Narentani defeated a Venetian fleet in 887, and for more than a century exacted tribute from Venice itself. In 998 they were finally crushed by the doge Pietro Orseolo II., who assumed the title duke of Dalmatia, though without prejudice to Byzantine suzerainty.

>>2765552
Are you really arguing 1000 years of history was all because of Pirates?

You must have just been redpilled by some book about Mediterranean Pirates.

Its ok, when I finish reading a book a recite it like the bible in all my historic arguments too, just not as badly as this.

Take a step back and maybe look at the waring states between the different rulers of the southern regions of Italy and not so much what you just said?

nigga that's just persia

Could a medieval peasant kill himself and go to Gensokyo, or would [things that are not real] not be developed enough for it to exist yet?

Property wasn't freely alienable, so no, not really in any practical sense

Only feasible option was to run away to a town.

Emperor of what? You huge pussy, you couldn't make something your property if you tried.

India is complex in the sense that their religion and national identity is pretty much fabricated in response to Muslim invasions and empires.

Hinduism according to them is a trillion years old. Anything that is not Islam, is Hinduism by definition, so they literally make shit up as they along and call it Hinduism and India. They had millions of gods with no connection between them. The caste system prevented any sort of nationhood so Muslim kings literally strolled in and took what ever the fuck they wanted.

Even today, Indians define their identity by whichever civilization is the oldest in the subcontinent. In this case, based around the Indus River in Pakistan where Punjabis, Sindhis and Pashtuns have lived for as long as records go back. This hasn't stopped Indian historians from fabricating various migration theories that conveniently move the civilization to modern day India.

The most significant places in the subcontinent are located in Pakistan. Ghandara, Indus valley, Punjab, Sindh (from which India managed to steal their name). The Greeks only knew of the place which made up the Indus river basin. Beyond that, nothing of significance was ever recorded. Arab travelers described millions of villages with nothing in common with each other. During the Arab era, Hindu referred to the region. It was not a religion. Hence the term Muslim Hindus. At some point, someone realised what was happening and took the initiative to create a religion for non Muslim Hindus. Everything you know about Hinduism was created after this, so in that sense, Hinduism is one of the newest "old" religions in the world.

It's not terrible for a movie, but it only depicts the decline of the Maya, so it's obviously darker and dramatized.

Historians used to think of the Maya as peaceful compared to the Aztecs but how much of that is based on exaggerations in Spanish writings isn't known.

>>2769615
Very inaccurate.

Why don't we focus on a better encounter?

INCA EMPIRE VS EGYPTIAN EMPIRE

>>2767248
>"As the Inca empire grew, the army of peasant warriors was replaced by an army with professional officers. Officers were chosen during the Warachikuy festival during which candidates had to undergo various tests of physical skill such as racing, marksmanship, simulated combat and battle drill. There was even a competition to see if they could stay awake for a long period, and in fact it is reported that some officers could remain awake for a whole week."
>"Inca battalions contained permanent staff (generals and officers) and non-permanent personnel composed of drafted hatun runas (common men) who would be serving their military mit'a public service (comparable to a mandatory military service). Once the mita was fulfilled, each hatun runa would return to their respective ayllu (community)."
>"Each battalion was made up of a single ethnic group, the whole group being directed by a kuraka (warlord) who had the same ethnicity. In the event that a kuraka fell in battle a replacement was appointed from within the same ethnic group. In order to prevent rebellions and to promote performance in battle, each ethnic group was divided into two battalions, each one under the command of a general (and both under the command of the kuraka), who would compete against his counterpart in displaying bravery on the battlefield, thus increasing his chances of promotion.[4] This concept of "duality" is widespread in the Andean world, and represents the two Inca dynasties: Hanan and Hurin.[5]"

>"Since the government of Tupac Yupanqui, an emperor, a specialized elite group of soldiers was appointed for the safekeeping of the Sapa Inca ("the one and only Inca") during parades, travel or campaigns. These bodyguards originated primarily in Cusco, even though with time outstanding soldiers from other ethnicities were accepted into the group. This imperial guard, all of them belonging to the nobility, reached a size of 10,000."

>"All members of the Inca army were between 25 and 50 years old. All of the empire's citizens had to perform either military or community service. One of every 50 men over 25 years old (legal age in the Inca Empire) would be chosen for military service. For noblemen, this was an honor and a duty, for common men, it was a means of social promotion. In accordance with the duality concept, one of every 50 young women were selected to serve in the Temple of the Virgins of the Sun."

>"After a certain period of time (usually 6 or 7 years), the military service was considered to be fulfilled for common men. However, professional officers were permanent soldiers and paid by the state. This military caste enjoyed several privileges as the State paid for their food and housing costs as well as clothing and several other gifts such as coca, jewelry, and wives."

>"Runas (common men) from the coastal region, unlike people from the highlands, were not compelled to serve in the army. This is probably explained by their lack of adaptation to the harsh climate conditions of the highlands, where most wars took place."
Coastlets can't compete.
