Post-1945, why did India fail where China suceeded?

India opened their markets a few decades after China did. They're kinda around where China was in this time period and they'll probably be (if their far-right wing government doesn't fuck it up) where China is now in the upcoming decades.

Another is that after four years of opening up the economy we went back to our usual things. A lot of policy flip-flop happened. Our socialists and communists have too much power and should unronically be hung.

We have had a lot of problems, but things have been looking up since 1947. It'll be a century or two before we get all our shit together but I have high hopes for the future.

Historically speaking, why is it so difficult to eradicate poverty? We tried communism, but it failed miserably with millions of people dead in the process. Capitalism is doing its best to minimise poverty but in this system, one person's gain is another person's loss. So you may lift millions of Chinese peasants out of poverty due to free trade deals with the USA, but at the same time you destroy American jobs as they can't compete with the artificially devalued Chinese Yuan / USD foreign exchange rate, and they become poor instead.

So is it poor people's fault for being poor or do the rich simply do not care about them?

Why has Germany, more than any other European country, always hated the Jews? Martin Luther, Richard Wagner, Kaiser Willy, Hitler, Maria Theresa, Heinrich von Trietschke

Even the communist RAF in west Germany hated Jews. In modern Germany, attacking a synagogue is considered "legitimate political criticism of Israel", its the only country in Europe that has more anti Semitic attacks from its native population than immigrants, and German kids still use "Jew" and "faggot" as the two most common insults at school.

Why do G*rmans hate Jews so much?

More versatile .
>>
>>2766435
How exactly was it more versatile though? As in individual soldiers were able to fulfil more roles in battle?
>>
>>2766431
Because it's enormously more flexible. If you need to have a few guys turn around to deal with an unexpected threat on the flank, a few guys just turn around. If you wanted to do the same with a phalanx, the entire formation of 256 men needs to turn, or you open up a gap which leaves you horribly vulnerable, since the individual pikes are too long to defend yourself with, and you're relying on the guy 2-3 ranks back to protect you.

It's also pretty bad in any sort of rough terrain where the formation can't hold, and thus relies on greater coordination with supporting arms, since the world is not in fact a flat, featureless plain and you usually have to deal with that at some point. Given how bad battlefield communication was in the ancient world, really tight interlinking was often a liability; sure, if you had someone like Alexander you could pull it off, but you often didn't have an Alexander at the helm.

Was Pearl Harbour a tactical success?
28 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>>2766291
How are you defining "tactical success"? Did they destroy more than they lose? Sure. Did they accomplish the stated objective of leaving the USN Pacific fleet too weak to be unable to intervene in attacks on places like the DEI and Phillipines? Sure. (Although they probably would have been too weak anyway, it's not like those obsolete battleships were going to be riding the rescue) Is it accurately matching up their assets on scene to valuable objectives? If you go by that, not really.
>>
>>2766291
>tactical

Obviously.

>strategic

Fuck no. It was an absolute catastrophe. With Pearl Harbour Japanese defeat was assured. The U.S wasn't going to immediately come to terms as they had hoped, instead it would bring the full might of its absurd industrial machine against bumfuck Japan and bring them to their knees.
>>
Arguable.

The Japs ignored many strategically important targets like command centers, fuel storage and processing facilities, submarine bases, naval repair yards, power stations, ammo magazines, etc. Also, none of the three USN fleet carriers were present at Pearl Harbor, which were high priority targets for two major attack groups in both the first and second waves. Sinking these carriers was critically important for the Japanese to have control in the Pacific.

Their biggest success was damaging or destroying eight battleships. Despite this achievement, the USN was able to raise and/or repair six and return them to service. Aside from the battleships, three destroyers and three cruisers were damaged in the attack, and all six were repaired and returned to service. The three other auxiliary ships hit (minelayer, repair ship, seaplane tender) were also put back into action.

So 13 of the 16 ships hit by the Japanese were repaired and returned to service. Submarine pens, fuel depots, oil refineries, power stations, shipyards, etc. all survived unscathed as well as all three fleet carriers.

From the point of view of preparing you for the real world, writing long-winded shit is the second most important thing school teaches you.

From the point of view of furthering knowledge, it forces you to reflect and what you've learnt and thereby internalise it. The paper itself is not important. What's important is that in trying to fill three pages of shit, you are forced to think about the subject.

But in all seriousness i'm not in a line of work that requires lots of writing, but if anything the success of the internet has pretty much proven this to be false.

I want information on subject.
I can read book on subject, filled with bits of information on subject, mixed in with completely worthless time consuming padding.

Or I can go to a website, and just get information on subject.

>it forces you to reflect and what you've learnt and thereby internalise it
I have literally never done this for any assignment.
What i'm actually thinking of is how to turn this three sentence answer, into three pages.
And that means focusing on rewording it to be as vague and wordy as possible.

For example something like:
UDP provides checksums for data integrity, and port numbers for addressing different functions at the source and destination of the datagram.

Turns into:
One day when I was sitting around talking with my friends we eventually came around to the subject of UDP. Many people don't even know what UDP is but in fact it can represent all of humanities great advancements if you really think about it. Me and my friends had an interesting conversation on UDP and it all started off with.....

Literally just rambling on about made up filler not related to the topic at all.

>But in all seriousness i'm not in a line of work that requires lots of writing

Start with a cover letter. You're turning "Give me the job, bro" into a page of shit. A research grant. "I want to study Egyptians, bro" into a discourse on how you will cure cancer. A progress report. "It's been a rough season, bro" into a very positive way of describing negative figures.

>I have literally never done this for any assignment.

>The most explicit recorded incidents of public sex involving humans and animals activity are associated with the murderous sadism, torture and rape of the Roman games and circus.[1] Masters reports: "Beasts were specially trained to copulate with women: if the girls or women were unwilling then the animal would attempt rape. A surprising range of creatures was used for such purposes - bulls, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, wild boar, zebras, stallions, jackasses, huge dogs, apes, etc. The beasts were taught how to copulate with a human being [whether male or female] either via the vagina or via the anus."[1] Representations of scenes from the sexual lives of the gods, such as Pasiphaƫ and the Bull, were highly popular, often causing extreme suffering, injury or death.[1] On occasion, the more ferocious beasts were permitted to kill and (if desired) devour their victims afterwards.[1] Chimpanzees and mandrills, both in fact ferocious and very powerful species of primate, "made drunk by wine and inflamed by the odor of females of their kind, were loosed upon girls whose genitals had been drenched with the urine of female chimps and mandrills."[1] The victims were often virgins and not infrequently young children.[1] One spectacle is said to have included "a hundred tiny blonde girls being raped simultaneously by a horde of baboons."[1]
