Why are you so retarded that you ask the question here instead of say, looking at the archives, a damn wikipedia article, or anything else?

Oh, and it doesn't necessarily have to be about tactics; a focus on weapons/equipment is fine too

Something like that would have such an incredibly large scope that it would be impossible to go into any detail at all about anything

Sometimes tactics were unrecognisably different at the beginning and the end of a certain war, never mind the beginning and the end of that century or that millennium

So then, it would be predetermined that I think that Hope Estheim is best husbando, but not which exact image I would download for this thread, that I have free will to decide which.

So Determinism is likely false.
The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies things are genuinely random in the universe.
>but muh Bohmian mechanics and muh many world's interpretation
Bell's theorem shows that any deterministic theory that produces the same result as the QM necessitates that the hidden variables be nonlocal.
What this means is that causality would travel faster than light for these hidden variables.
This means either you could go back in time, and kill your grandfather etc.
Or it means that time doesn't actually exist in the first place, and the statistical physicists are right that time is merely an emergent property of entropy.
The former case is unlikely, because of the logical paradoxes associated with time travel. The latter case is more likely, but in this sense it no longer makes sense to think about causality at all, since your future self "causes" your present self.

i think free will is real in the way we feel as if we have a free will while determinism is also true because the human is a physical thing that cannot defy the principle of cause and consequence.
we feel like having a free will because we witness our own thought process (which is the actual "you"), while we are like a clockwork with molecule-sized gears

None because he had no authority to offer anything, and Hitler disowned him as soon as he realised he'd fled.

>>2728079

He didn't have one. The only people who claim he did, are crackpot stormniggers who offer no primary sources and not other sources other than German officers who were writing years later to save themselves from a Soviet firing squad or an anonymous informant who totally translated the peace treaty, but has no evidence he did so and has now died.

It is utterly asinine to conflate premodern societies with modern ideologies.

>>2728084
t. ideology is an inevitable progression to
communism
t. nationalism c-can't exist in ancient polities! MUH MARXIST HISTORIOGRAPHY SAYS NATIONALISM CUMS AFTER FEUDALISM!!! AFTER!!!!!!
t. premodern thought streams never influence modern society!

sudden, massive conquests aren't uncommon in history. What made this particular one important is the length of time it lasted

The Byzantines and Sassanids were fighting a war for centuries. By the end of it both nations were way too exhausted, especially the Sassanids who were on the brink of collapse after their wars. It wasn't that hard for the Arabs to take advantage of their situation.

They lobbied and protested against the whole thing and left millions of south Vietnamese left to rot in concentration camps. But at least they could smoke pot and stick flowers in gum barrels, that's worth the loses of Vietnamese lives

It was a proxy War to posture in front of the USSR.

If it was only as it is on the surface things would have been different.

While we're on it, I consider Storm of Steel, by Ernst Junger, to be the best book on WWI (simple, honest look at the reality of the war, from the perspective of a young officer on the front-line)

Is there anything similar for WWII? Everything seems to be political grand-standing or Anglo-centric accounts of minor involvement. I mean Eastern Front, daily life, firsthand accounts; the good, the bad and the ugly.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that it might be a coin of some kind.

>>2727863
Pretty obviously a coin...

the difficult part of it is determining when it was created. Since my knowledge about coin dating is non-existing I could only guess.

1. I don't notice any facial structures on the coin. My knowledge from coins of the Byzantine era in Turkey they were almost always depicting the head of the EMPRAH.

2. The material seems to be something pretty common in coins, so I fear you might be dealing with anything in the timespawn of +/- 2000 B.C to about whenever your government starting introducing a standardised monetary system. The lines drawn seem pretty amateuristic which suggests anything medieval or earlier, and since I don't think it is Byzantine you might have struck (not literally since the coin is made of shitty metal) gold here.

No, Inshallah.

Ethically, sure, but from a strategic standpoint no.

It depends on what you mean. Are you trying to bring attention to how it's a shithole now? That's primarily from poor decolonization. Are you trying to bring attention to the savagery and brutality inflicted on the natives by the Europeans? Then yes carving Africa up was a bad idea, but giving a false kingdom like Belgium a piece was the worst of the bad idea.

it was the best interest of the leaving colonizers to leave the them in shambles
an unstable and divided state is easier to deal with

>Tutsi looked down on the Hutu
>Maasai won't even eat vegetables because they're considered pleb food for farmers
>Tuareg consider blacksmiths a slave caste and won't even touch iron with their bare hands

Am interesting reversal was that the Greeks, Romans, and Jews considered it a point of pride to live on bread and milk and meat consumption to be hallmarks of lazy barbarian parasites
