>c.30-33 AD, the crucifixion of Jesus. Get to answer a few questions.
>1945, bombing of Nagasaki. Probably a bit edgy, but the idea of seeing an actual nuclear attack appeals for some reason.
>1500, Tenochitlan. Similar reasons to yourself I imagine.

Let's see, assuming that this is widespread so the conspiracy, and religious questions have been answered.

1910 Europe, see how it looked before the war, visit places that no longer exist.

United States 1776 to witness the birth of my country.

And the fall of constantanople to the turks to watch the last death throes of the Roman Empire.

Because they needed to end the war quickly and could not afford to get dragged into a war of attrition.

They underestimated the British response to the invasion of Waffleland while overestimating the readiness of the Russian Army.

Not really, Marx wrote a bit about his concept of Human Nature. Marx believed in "human nature in general" and "human nature as modified" within each historical period. Some are fixed such as sexual drive while others are relative to social relations. So for example the need for money is a real need but one created within a money economy at a historical time.

Marx at his most humanist thought man had an eternal creative drive of productivity and passion, that is labour or self-activity. But Marx thought capitalism alienated man from man, man from nature, via commodification of labour and private property. He thought private property was the negation of human self-activity. Proles became dependent on the bourgeois (and vice versa) turning humanity into a "crippled monstrosity" for the sake of capital. Wherein capital has more individuality than the people creating it.

>"the whole of what is called world history is nothing but the creation of man by human labor, and the emergence of nature for man; he therefore has the evident and irrefutable proof of his self-creation, of his own origins."

Communism for Marx wasn't about redistribution of wealth or solely about giving the proles what the bourgeois had. It was about the emancipation of labour and the emancipation of human nature.

Marxism's flawed teachings should have died with the death of the industrial revolution.

>Churchill as Chancellor of the Exchequer oversaw Britain's disastrous return to the Gold Standard, which resulted in deflation, unemployment, and the miners' strike that led to the General Strike of 1926.[122]

>His decision, announced in the 1924 Budget, came after long consultation with various economists including John Maynard Keynes, the Permanent Secretary to the Treasury, Sir Otto Niemeyer and the board of the Bank of England. This decision prompted Keynes to write The Economic Consequences of Mr. Churchill, arguing that the return to the gold standard at the pre-war parity in 1925 (£1=$4.86) would lead to a world depression. However, the decision was generally popular and seen as 'sound economics' although it was opposed by Lord Beaverbrook and the Federation of British Industries.[123]

>Churchill later regarded this as the greatest mistake of his life; in discussions at the time with former Chancellor Reginald McKenna, Churchill acknowledged that the return to the gold standard and the resulting 'dear money' policy was economically bad. In those discussions he maintained the policy as fundamentally political—a return to the pre-war conditions in which he believed.[124] In his speech on the Bill he said "I will tell you what it [the return to the Gold Standard] will shackle us to. It will shackle us to reality."[125]

>Later economists, as well as people at the time, also criticised Churchill's budget measures. These were seen as assisting the generally prosperous rentier banking and salaried classes (to which Churchill and his associates generally belonged) at the expense of manufacturers and exporters which were known then to be suffering from imports and from competition in traditional export markets,[130] and as paring the Armed Forces, and especially the Royal Navy, too heavily.[131]

1 you should just have paid your taxes and be thankful for the Brits removing the French threat

2 some kind of democracy, not necessarily universal. This rule ensures that the rulers can't be to tyrannical unless he uses democracy to abolish democracy since their rule is based on the people and not a few aristocrats and priests

3. Technically it does

>3. would a monarchy work in a first world country today, hypothetically speaking?
It does, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom & Canada, 4 countries with a majority anglo english identity (quebec is fucking embarressing). 3 of them even keep the Union Jack

>>2698242
It wasn't just about taxes my friend, there's an entire laundry list of shit George III was trying to pull in the 13 colonies. Since he couldn't be an absolute monarch in Britain like he was in Hanover, he tried it in the colonies and we wouldn't put up with it either.

>>2698110
it's interesting. Economic, political, military history are all very interesting. Fucking hate cultural history though. It's just muh women, muh blacks muh minorities and takes up like 50% of my course.


WW2, ancient rome, Tsar to Krushchev, ancient greece.

Various indian and asian shit, Renaissance and medieval history

>>2698131
Also know a ton about Australian history in paticular the military and Chifley to Howard.

>Tell me why you enjoy history /his/
Its dope AF senpai. It provides context to the human condition seeing the progression of societies, morality, military. How far we've come, how low we have gone, and everything in between.

Everyone should have an interest in history. I guarantee you someone who has no interest in it is a vapid cunt with nothing interesting to say.

>What are your areas of most knowledge?
I've had an interest in history since I was a teenager but have just not began a more academically rigorous attempt at learning it in the past few months. I have a decent grasp on the narrative of human history; with a particularly good knowledge of Sumer, Early Achaemenid, Franco-Prussian War, WW1 (Especially the first few months), WW2, Cold War.

What are your areas of least knowledge?
95% of World history I am clueless about. Still need to fill in overview knowledge between the fall of the western roman empire and the beginning of the first crusade. All I know about it is >Muh islamic conquests

My eastern history is dogshit, Know barely anything about China/Japan/India or any other civilization east of Persia.

>tfw you just began your history journey and have a massive appetite for knowledge.

Actually looks pretty mainstream Catholic accounting of how the mind works
Note the Latin

It got pretty close to understanding that Jesus came preaching cosmic consciousness.

A vague label applied by outsiders to a bunch of different religious movements.

Hundreds, possibly thousands. The most obvious are the Milgram experiment and the Third Wave.

>I imagine this would increase group performance, as they would be willing to work harder to help their group (or tribe)

This is the general finding, yes. In particular those who have trouble fitting in to normal society thrive in such conditions.
