I've been to Troy. Here's the official horse from the siege. Troy was real. Homer's depiction of it was heavily mythologised though there was almost certainly a massive battle here 3200 BC.

How do I deal with the crushing indifference of the capitalist system?
Yeah I know the same could be said for the universe, but at least with the universe, I don't have to think about it every day. With capitalism, it's there every day and I'm reminded every time I punch in my card and clock in.

Just got finished reading On the Genealogy of Morality.
Was antiquity's verdict on the Jews correct? Nietzsche seems to affirm this.
"A race born for slavery"
"With the Jews begins the slave revolt in morals"
I think Nietzsche's philosophy has been washed a little too clean in recent decades. He is a vociferous opponent of antisemitism, but that doesn't mean that contempt for the Jews was not part of his philosophy. He certainly had nothing but contempt for their megalomania and moralizing tendencies.

If Mussolini wanted to eradicate the Croats of Dalmatia why did every irrelevant mountain village until Italian control come supplied with an Italian teacher for elementary school students?

I never heard of him want to "eliminate" anyone, if what you followed it up with is any indication he just wanted to make them Italian.
Given that he was a Romaboo it wouldn't surprise me that he'd rather that path than Hitler's ethnic autism.
>>
>>2659265
>he just wanted to make them Italian.
Which meant eliminating their native culture and identity. This is still considered cultural genocide and a form of ethnic cleansing.
Just because it's not physical genocide doesn't mean it isn't bad.

Why was Ireland neutral in WWII?
Surely they could agree that Hitler was a bigger existential threat to them than the British and other allies were, right?

>and spread iron?
They didn't. Iron had been known about for a while, it was just that Bronze was significantly better because the technology to really make iron useful hadn't emerged yet. Tin and copper both required significantly lower temperatures to smelt into bronze and work than iron did, and what little iron was being produced during the Bronze Age was going to be significantly lower quality than the bronze that was available.
However, tin was comparatively rare in the ancient near east, and most regions were heavily reliant on trade to distant areas to provide the tin necessary for bronze. Pic related isn't entirely accurate, but it gives the general idea.
The Bronze Age Collapse saw the collapse of the trade routes vital to the tin trade, among countless other things, and as it became harder to make bronze and smelting technology improved, ironworking really started to emerge.

Achaemenid Persia fielded professional infantry: the immortals were the permanent regiment under the direct command of the king, while Satrapal regiments raised an army of landed soldiers who were given lands to free them for a professional military service. In peacetime however, these return to their homes to managed their tiny estates. In addition to these are all the military systems of their subject peoples like mountain warriors from the caucasus or Syrian soldiers.
Since you posted TWC's lyl Parthian Soldiers, the Parthians were even worse: their offensive force was a vastly mounted army consisting of horse archers and the Savaran, who are basically knights trained from childhood to become heavy cavalrymen.

I've recently started a relationship with a girl who, like me, shares a passion for history. There are a few interesting historical sites here in South West England to visit such as Wells Cathedral and Glastonbury Abbey, what I'm looking for are lesser-known historical sites we can visit on a day out. Bonus point if it's Roman-related, she loves ancient Rome

there's at least 2 schools of thought: 1 says jewish monotheism grew out of an earlier polytheism, the other says it didn't.
i'm sorry i can't remember the names of the arguments to point you in the right direction.
>>
>>2658979
pretty sure the only people left who think it didn't come from earlier polytheism are those who think Moses started monotheism and the exodus, wandering and conquest are all historical, which they definitely aren't.
