German woman raped and killed by American soldiers, Hohenlepte, Germany, 8th May 1945. This gets reposted often as a victim of russians, but it was actually American GIs who did her in. She had aimed a panzerfaust at American soldiers advancing towards her town and was stopped. American soldiers then took turns raping her before killing her. Private Tony Vaccaro, who came across the scene, found a bayonet impaled into her vagina and took it out before taking the picture.

What is /his/ thoughts on oral history? Of course it should be well noted that oral history should not be treated without proper skepticism, but here are a few questions to get some discussion going:
>what are some fallbacks of oral history
>what are some benefits of oral history
>what can be done (e.g. in terms of skepticism methods) to incorporate oral history into the field of written history
>how best to capture the histories of aboriginals and those cultures with no written histories
I guess I will bump with a few ideas.
I think that there should be a concentration on first-hand oral histories, though these are particular rare for the cultures alluded to in the OP.
This brings up a question on whether second-hand oral accounts are useful to history at all.
catholic missionaries almost ended oral history in many cultures however it bounced back in the mid 20th century.

How was life for the common peasant ik 16th century ottoman empire?
Did they own land?
What kind of festivals dud they celebrate?
Also was there much difference between christians and muslims in how they lived?
It was actually very tolerant and peaceful.
Christians, Jews, and Muslims lived together in harmony. Muslims were arbiters of peace when they ruled their lands.
We could learn a thing of two from them :^)
>>2693320
But in those times giving your newly conquered subjects a different choice than convert or die was pretty tolerant.

Before the chiflik system the Empire used a non-hereditary form of land management called the Timar System. Starting as the Empire began to collapse, powerful military officers started to claim land from the Sultan's holding allowing them to pass the land onto their sons thus creating the Chiflik system. This form of land management lasted from the sixteenth century to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1919.
Previously, peasants under the Timar system enjoyed a relatively liberal system. Under the Chiflik system they were ruled as serfs.
What the wikipedia article fails to mention, is that a Chiflik didn't just replace the Timar system, it came on top of it. So the peasants, not only had increased taxes, and an increased obligation to work on the landlord's personal estate for 3 days/week. But the former obligations remained in place. Which meant they were working for someone else 4 days/week and pay more taxes on what they make for themselves in the two days remaining (because IIRC in Islam, friday is like the Sabbath and people don't work).
Generally it was alright in the early and mid 16th centuries, but the late 16th century had growing socio-economic unrest.
The remnants of the Chiflik system caused great unrest in former Ottoman territories once they were freed (Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria).
Muslims also had to pay less in taxes, because non Muslims had to pay a HaraƧ, and were also subjected to Devsirme.
Religious freedom also deteriorated in the late 16th century. Whereas it flourished in the mid 16th century because of the Serbian grand Vizier, who also reinstated the Serbian church and put his brother in charge.

Jesus talked a lot about sharing, universality and forgiveness. Why is it that christianity is so heavily associated with right-wing politics? As far as I understand this is a quite recent shift. Any ideas?
Christianity was hijacked by the ruling elites as early as in the treaty of Nicaea.
>>2691734
It's rather a backlash at the type of "left wing" people you see. If the left wing politics was solely abut sharing and forgiveness, then you would see that Christians in the USA would align themselves with it. However, left wing politics is not concerned with that, but instead a lot of the issues associated with the left these days is LGBT and abortion---the two main issues that made trump president.
If abortion was not a political topic, then I don't think there would be an association of Christianity to the right.
Satan. It's always satan the liar.
Was Southern Italy ever relevant at all besides Magna Graecia? I struggle to find any important Roman figures who were born there even. There were probably more important Romans born in France, Spain and the Balkans than Southern Italy.
I read a book about Augustus that said a lot of legionaries were from the south. I have no idea if it's true or not and I can't remember if the author substantiated his claim

When did the 'Perfidious Albion' first become a thing? And just why is Britain singled out for perfidy, was there anything unique about how they did it or something?
If you look into British history, you'll see that everything they did was just fucking over everyone they ruled for their own selfish benefit (Colonial America, Ireland, India, etc), and then having the nerve of thinking themselves as the greatest nation ever, the cradle of modern civilization, and other bullshit. Look at how their former colonies fought just to get the Eternal Anglo off their backs, and how nations that gained independence yet still stay subjects to Britain are weak and irrelevant countries like Canada and Australia.
The Anglos are selfish, pompous, and of course perfidious, which is why anyone with a brain would realize that the Jews are not the threat to the Western World, the Eternal Anglo is.
The eternal /int/poster never ceases in his quest to undermine discourse on /his/.

could hitler have won if he didn't attacked USSR?
>>2690059
No. Even assuming his economy doesn't collapse (he was requiring some fairly serious imports from the USSR, especially food, and was running out of things they wanted to pay them with), and he can afford to not have the bulk of his army watching the border anyway, he was in a position of considerable air inferiority against the Western Allies alone. Those bombing raids over Germany aren't going to stop, if anything, they'll intensify, as land action in Europe seems more and more difficult.
Come 1945, you'll be seeing mushroom clouds in Berlin, and then you'll probably see an anti-hitler coup not long after.
>>2690059
No, the outcome of the war was decided when the Nazis failed to gain air superiority during the Battle of Britain

This lost seems alright to me. At least they weren't foolish enough to invite Israel or any sub-Saharan countries.
Does anyone else get the feeling that this will just be a session where these countries bitch about foreign museams and demand money from other countries to preserve their ruins for them?
Why aren't all atheists nihilistic? Why do they constantly seek a substitute for belief in God like Marxism, existentialism, or New Atheism? Why are they so desperate for something to cling to?
