What's with political cartoonists having to fucking label everything? Would anyone be going "I wonder why this jolly bearded Confuscian is outraged on Mohammad's behalf"?

It's supposed to be ironic.

I agree.

It took seven years to complete.

It was the first world war.

On May 1, 1756, France and Austria signed an alliance that was ostensibly defensive – the First Treaty of Versailles. It was recognized that Austria was to remain neutral regarding France's war against Britain, and France was to accept Austria’s attack on Brandenburg-Prussia. Russia joined this alliance – upsetting its traditional hostility towards France. And the new alliance between Madame Pompadour of France, Maria Theresa of Austria and Elizabeth of Russia became known as the League of the Three Petticoats.

Yes.

Yes. Also, so did the Holocaust.

Can these "did ___ happen?" threads be over now?

Mass genocide happens everywhere. It's only a matter of who gets to talk about it 50 years later.

>Since the majority of people are not good people, why do socialists, communists, social democrats and the like enjoy pretending their ideology is moral?

Well, it's all about the common people and shiet. Same with conservatives, they just want to protect the poor guy working 8hrs+ a day in a construction site, making sure his children can get basic education and his sick wife can go to a hospital without paying 10k for a broken leg.
>Even (moderate) critics like Milton Friedman seem to treat the left as though they are well meaning but misguided.

Well put anon. I wish more people had your perslective. I hate that a lot of leftists ideologies seem to be the default state of humans.

>>2660634
I think its more about leaving people alone and helping out just the people who really need it, but trying to lift them put of hadd times, not just making hadd times easier with social nets.

(((Venice)))

The Spanish Civil War only ended after the reoccupation of the Rhineland, the Anschluss of Austria, and the occupation of Czechoslovakia. Those events were more influential to Hitler's ambitions than the Spanish Civil War.

They did win you dingus

Right but it set a precedent, and demonstrated that the French and British were not prepared to engage if they didn't have to.

I don't like war, so there isn't one I can say that I find alluring to my imagination.

>>2660522
WW2. There is so much random little shit that you can spend your entire life on it and still find things you missed. I've never seen a good alternate history on WW2 though

>>2660522
I like studying the Bar Kokhba revolt, but it's a shame there's so little real data on it.

Back when suits were made out of only wool (1600s or so), they were a mark of very high status. As cotton production got better and better, suits started becoming more and more cotton, and thus cheaper. However, the social status of suits changed much slower than the price of suits.

>cheaper version of the suit

what an interesting way to put it, my dear chap.

The Tie was based upon the Cravat which was a Croat item of clothing, westerners were exposed to the Cravat and evolved it.

Pants came from Horse riding peoples, so basically an Indo European adaptation which spread into Europe and the Middle East. Continental Celts often wore pants, Persians too wore pants opposed to the naked Greek savages.
