Because people are unable to comprehend how things have changed over time.
They cant comprehend how morality has changed, or how things like citizenship and immigration have changed.
They deal in absolutes in their 21st century viewpoint on everything.

Incas were superior to Europeans though.

Because white people don't want to accept that they're invaders.

Trade relations, and the political foothold that goes with it, in East Asia. Remember, by this point, the biggest market in the region, China, had already mostly been swallowed up by the various European great powers, and America was working to hammer out some sort of free trade for everyone setup there as well.

And also Perry was a bit peeved that the previous guy had been basically told to "fuck off," by a bunch of backwards barbarians.

Yeah gunboat diplomacy is pretty sinister.

It appears to be a photo of the incumbent Russian President.

A man who wanted nothing more than keep his country functioning after the fall of communism (and money and power) realizes he must become increasingly involved in the Middle East. He knows the following years will either be a repeat of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the start of WW3, or bring his country to the forefront of the world stage.

It appears to a picture depicting a group of humans facing a similar direction towards a platform with an object in it. The two closest humans appear to be wearing attire that indicates they are in military-related positions, despite the attire being unsuitable for combat due to a lack of flexibility and storage. The man in the center appears to be Vladamir Putin, the president of Russia, who appears to approach the table to interact with an unknown object on it. Behind the president is a group of individuals wearing business attire, due to the fact that in societies eyes, this particular attire demands respect and is a sign of wealth and importance.

I truly wish I could converse with Vladamir Putin someday, I could have very simulating conversations with him. The world is absolutely massive, and being able to understand it all and understand how it all works and fits together would make you extremely powerful, a polymath. Of course, the humans with this understanding are quite rare, but are capable of seeing what others cannot. A true genius realizes that we know nothing, and our science and various fields are our attempts at understanding reality.

Because they did reverse-colonialism in their own country.

Because it was more profitable to just expand out west.

Remember, the frontier only closed in 1890, and after that we invaded Puerto Rico and the Philippines, and annexed Hawaii, just to get it out of our system.

Germany and Italy didn't like each other until the Spanish Civil War. Earlier they were disputing who would rule Austria.

> material support to a landlocked country on a different continent
How the fuck did they do that?

>>3344680
Send arms through French Djibouti probably, the French had a railroad into Ethiopia, which the Italians most likely wouldn't want to bomb for fear of pissing off France

Where am I going to launder my money you fuck?

How many countries are really completely self sufficient?

Most would have to revert back to the 16th century without imports of oil and gas.

>>3343473
4 pennies actually. . .
If you are refering to the 2 two Christian leaders Zhang of Daxi and Hong of Heavenly Kingdom.
You also got the Taoist uprising of the Yellow Turban, and hyprid religion of the White Lotus that started the Red Turban rebellion.

What >>3344111 said, it actually happened 4 times.

You'd think "4 times isn't that many in a country over 2000 years old", except it kinda is considering the circumstances needed to cause something like this.

Yeah, cause it was in JJN's History of Venice

Everyone knows that

I'm no anti-Semite or /pol/tard, but why the fuck the Romans put up with the Jews? They've killed larger populations.

>>3343454
They were a major population in the Eastern Mediterranean with numerous communities throughout the empire and there was concern that pointless provocation could lead to a proxy war with the Persians.

But I don't think you realize just how extensive the devastation was after the first Jewish Roman war. Judea had been savagely laid waste, sending a huge amount of Roman investment down the drain. And yet you ask why didn't they just kill everyone lol??? Over a million Jews were killed, enslaved, or fled the empire to the east. The Romans had no word for economics, but you don't have to be an economist to realize just how bad that is.

>>3343454
they know who their masters are, read the illiad and the odesssey and youll realize that jewish genocide of pagans is supported by their own poets. Socrates and its supported by their philosophers. Julius and by its most famous leader

That aside all civilization is inherently dehumanizing. People were happier in the past.

He lost at Austerlitz and the Roman Empire thus ended

Diocletian was responsible for killing the Western Empire. He damned it.

Memers will throw out shitty post-Diocletian emperors, mostly Honorius, as shittier ones, but it was ultimately Diocletian policies that set the West's already evident decline into full force.
