When did Europeans become Europeans?

Perhaps during the Religious wars when the separation of Church and state began and the staple borders of Europe were established and throughout the Napoleonic wars and thereafter?

Was it during the centralization of the Catholic Church in the 11-13th centuries?

Was it after the fall of the WRE and post dark ages that followed the fall into the 7th century?

Was it during the Colonization of the northern Mediterranean in the bc700-1ad and possibly during the unification of the Roman Empire?

Do tell me /his/ I haven't the slightest.

Why does it seem like there are more famous red haired historical figures than blonde ones despite red hair being much less common?

>tfw most of humanity's history is full of war, genocide, torture, slavery, rape, poverty, starvation and diseases and we are just one of first generations to have it relatively better
>tfw our comfy and safe modern world is actually abnormality
>tfw civilisation can easily fall and we go back to middle ages or even prehistory

It actually scares me.

Hey, I'm new here. Just wondering if you consider Islamic rule over Spain and Sicily as somewhat positive? Note: I'm making a distinction between the earlier conquests and the conquests by the Ottomans, who had a history of despotism. Which isn't all that surprising given the fact that, well... THEY ARE TURKS LOL baka

Here is my conversation with a Sicilian friend.

Me: You mentioned the Islamic invasion of Sicily and there wasnt any rape?

> Him: No, besides some legends and tales there probably wasn't a lot of it. It was generally a pretty benevolent rule, the Berbers never abused or oppressed the natives. There were a lot of Islamic scholars that traveled to Sicily during that time, said it was a beautiful place. Talked about how Christian women and Muslim women dressed in the same fashion

Me: Was the hijab enforced on christian women?

> Him: I'm not sure if enforced if it just came about naturally. Technically the only thing required of Christians were they stood up when a Muslim entered the room and they couldn't be in the bathhouses at the same time as Muslims

Me: Muslims paid zakat, Christians paid jizya, higher

> Him: Yeah it was usually higher probably. I'd say the architecture from that period had Latin/Greek/Islamic elements. The Berbers were very liberal about womens rights as well during that time

Me: Liberal in what sense?

> Him: Women could inherit land and that sorta thing. Laws protecting widows and such I think. A lot of that stuff bled over into Norman Sicily as well. Sicily was probably one of the more functional multicultural societys, but instead of collapsing it sorta became homogenous over time

Can we end the whole "Bush Crime Family had ties with Hitler throughout WW2" bullshit.

1 Germany was one of the hugest industrial powers in Europe at that time, so of course American Companies had ties to Nazi Germany.
2 Hitler was viewed as bad yes but The Concentration camps and signs of mass genocide were near rumor tear until 44-45. Once made public American Companies pulled out.
3. War is the most profitable Industry so if you want to sit there and tell me that You being a company owner of depression time America pulling out of one of your most profitable assets because "welllll... hes kinda the enemy." then you are highly mistaken. America has been renown for doing business with its enemies throughout history and still does it today. so fuck off.
