Was there any other superpower besides Britain, USSR and USA?
>Superpower is a term used to describe a state with a dominant position, which is characterised by its extensive ability to exert influence or project power on a global scale.
Why aren't French or Dutch empires considered a superpower?

By definition no. By popular usage Rome is often called a superpower.
>>
>>3349673
Because the term "superpower" connotes the ability to project power globally to any corner of the globe.
The Dutch or the French were not able to do so since the 1800s when the Royal Navy ruled the seas. Their colonial Empires depended on the goodwill of Britain not sinking their ships.
Which is why the dreadnought race with Germany in the run up to WW1 represented such a challenge for Britain... it was the first time another country tried to challenge its naval supremacy in over a century.

Just imagine that trading good prices have been higher for products in further regions. Spreading your possessions in this way enabled the Normans to control the production of exotic products like wine (not growing in their traditional regions) and timber (just examples.

Just a bit curious about the different diets of different regions for different classes during the late medieval and early modern era (so roughly late 1400s to early 1700s)
Northern Europe (Scandinavia, Britain)
Western and Central Europe (Mainland France through to the HRE)
Southern Europe (Mediterranean regions)
Eastern Europe and the Balkans (So basically Hungary up to Russia)
The classes would be the rural peasants, the urban dwellers and lastly the upper class.
Sorry if asking for region specifics is a bit redundant when variation was most probably lacking, but it's just to make this more interesting than a quick Google search.

AR: You said it, I think, unintentionally. You said, “So, I can’t wait to die and find out.” That, I am serious, is one of the results of acting on faith. {Audience applauds} You can’t wait to get out of this life.
PD: And, what’s wrong with that?
AR: Because this life is wonderful, as you said, because if you look at the Universe it’s wonderful. And, you have to use your life to the best of your understanding. If you go by emotions, not reason, it means you’re going against reality. Something exists, something is right, and you say, “No, I don’t like it” because I want to believe something else.

Part of a new argument between a friend and I. A week or two ago he popped "gender is a spectrum" and "james damore was wrong; you can't even tell the difference between a male and female brain, the differences are cultural" on me and I had to rewind and prod him a bit on that

is Erdgoan the closest thing to Stalin today without the outright bloodshed?
was the coup of 2016 something like Kirov's assassination to purge all opposition and even suspected opposition? Erdogan, like Stalin, almost eliminated all his old friends of the party and replaced them with weak shills.

Tell me how it was a disaster. You can't use buzzwords like duhjenuracy.
>>
>>3349068
It was a disaster in that it brought in the environment that spawned Nazi Germany. There was constant unrest by those unsatisfied with the country, like communists and fascists. That's not a healthy environment.
Just because a decent percent of the population was fine with wallowing in hedonism doesn't mean it was stable.

>"I am a Jew. I want to live in the Jewish state. That is my right, just as it is the rights of a Ukrainian to live in the Ukraine, the right of a Russian to live in Russia, the right of a Georgian to live in Georgia. I want to live in Israel. That is my dream, that is the goal not only of my life but also of the lives of hundreds of generation that preceded me, of my ancestors who were expelled from their land. I want to my children to study in the Hebrew language. I want to read Jewish papers, I want to attend a Jewish theatre. What is wrong with that? What is my crime...?" - Boris Kochubievsky
>Within the week Kochubievsky was called in to the KGB bureau and without questioning, was taken to a mental institution in his hometown of Kiev. While this may seem as an isolated incident, the aftermath of the Six-Day War affected almost every Jew within the Soviet Union. Jews who had been subject to assimilation under previous regimes were now confronted with a new sense in vigour and revival in their Jewish faith and heritage. On February 23, 1979, a six-page article was distributed throughout the cities of Moscow and Leningrad, which criticized Brezhnev and seven other individuals for being "Zionist". The article contained traces of deep-rooted antisemitism in which the anonymous author, a member of the Russian Liberation Organization, set out ways to identify Zionists; these included "hairy chest and arms," "shifty eyes," and a "hook-like nose."
Why were the Soviets so Anti-Semitic?

America has a long history of conspiracy theories that were mocked and then later revealed to be real.
>Operation Mockingbird
>The mafia
>The Dreyfus Affair
>The Tuskegee Syphilis Study
>15 year old Nayirah's testimony about babies being torn from incubators in Iraq, which turned out to be a girl trained by the CIA
>COINTELPRO
>Gulf of Tonkin
>Operation Northwoods
Are there any equivalents in other nations or eras? Did the Romans or Assyrians or ancient Chinese ever have any great conspiracies that we know of? What was the view at the time?

I wish that we had more sources on the Punic Wars from Carthage's POV. For example, Hannibal brought a chronicler along with him to write down everything that happened, but unfortunately everything he wrote is now destroyed. That shit would be a goldmine of fascinating details if it still existed.
