Who were some of the most important figures in the spread of Christianity to Slavland?
>>2656285
>Boris I of Bulgaria
>The first foreing ruler to adopt Orthodox Christianity from Byzantium
>Adopted the Glagolitic Alphabeth
>Slaughtered 40is Bolyars and their entire families of his elite who refused to become Christian, so he could set and example
>Wrote to the Pope despite being Orthodox, asking for forgivness that he slaughtered his elite, the pope responded that "he did so not out of ignorance but for Christianity"
>His son and successor tried to revert to paganism as soon as he came to power
>Boris came back to power and blinded his son then promptly sent him into exile
>Established a literary school in which the Cyrilic was developed using the Glagolitic sounds as a base but replacing the majority of the weird looking characters with latin and greek ones.
>Actually the first one to have the name Boris, and since it's a common slavname you can extrapolate his influence on Christianity.
>Actually become canonized as a saint.
>>2656645
>slaughter innocent people
>become a saint
Why do Christcucks think they are moral again?
This is such a cool painting.
History of Ukraine thread. Even today, the "free steppe" part of it is still divided by the "polish" part of it.
Invited: dscussion of cassocks, tatars, crimean khanate, russian empire (the old one), polish commonwealth.
Not invited: Putin.
Also not invited: the sultan.
>>2656179
when and why did a divide between Belarus and Ukraine happen?
I get that Russia and Ukraine are different because Ukraine was a Polish Lithuanian polity while Russia was a Golden Horde polity, but what about Belarus? were they ever considered "the same" and when did the distinction begin?
>>2656179
So why doesn't the two very different parts of Ukraine divide?
Going to the Crucifixion service tonight, guys (liturgically, a day starts as night as per Genesis)?

It certainly would have worked BETTER, but there's no guarantee that it would have worked WELL.

Fucking Princip, he really killed the wrong guy.
It was better than what they had, but who knows if it would have stuck.

Anybody else taken this plunge before?
I know he's a >journalist but this has to be the best historical account of this time period. The central figures are like well developed stage actors and WW2 unfolds before you like an opera. Highly recommended, and I'm only halfway through.
Bump. We all know /his/ is better than /lit/ anyway
>>2655748
Good book, but written 60 years ago.
There has been some development since, in terms of what documents we have, how the numbers are revised, and so on.
>>2655768
Any significant event in particular?
Holocaust doesn't count
Why Marx?
He thought he could get by by exploiting the Workers of the world to work for him, and instead got remembered as the guy who stirred people oppressed by dictators into installing new dictators.
Marx thought that workers who earned money from companies would revolt, not ones who were ruled by kings.
Historical baggage from decades of intellectual institutionalization of ideas that derive from him. Marx specifically appeals to the class interests of intellectuals.
OP, perhaps you wanted to ask: "Why, Marx?
>"In spite of the wildly speculative and false stories of arms for hostages and alleged ransom payments, we did not—repeat, did not—trade weapons or anything else for hostages, nor will we." - Ronald Reagan, November 1986
>"A few months ago, I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not." - Also Ronald Reagan, March 1987
What did he mean by this?
>>2655666
He was the original Trump
>>2655666
He was too far gone to know what the fuck was going on in the world. He was just a puppet for Bush since the Americans wanted to vote for a dolt.

>"I saw the Emperor – this world-spirit – riding out of the city on reconnaissance. It is indeed a wonderful sensation to see such an individual, who, concentrated here at a single point, astride a horse, reaches out over the world and masters it ... this extraordinary man, whom it is impossible not to admire." - Hegel on Napoleon
Was Napoleon an enlightened despot who laid the foundations of modern Europe or, instead, a megalomaniac who wrought greater misery than any man before the coming of Hitler?
The world would be a much better place today if he had invaded Britain instead of Russia
>>2655680
Except that was impossible retard.
You think he didn't try?
He even considered an airforce to do it.
>>2655660
Beethoven dropped Napoleon after he crowned himself. I think a lot of enlightenment people put their hopes in him but they were disappointed of him being more of the same. That being said the Napoleonic Code was revolutionary and as a man he had an extraordinary character. At any rate a Napoleonic Europe couldn't create a worst timeline than this one so thats something

>What is the royal navy
>Islam is about viole-
>>2655575
Everyone knows about the Median-Meccan distinction. What was your intention, just to repeat that?
Wow. I must have imagined all that Islamic terrorism.
>islam
it isn't about islam anymore
the people who hold on to the religion are the ones that are hated
most people nowdays would hate an arab, regardless of whether he's a muslim

Pic unrelated
>>2655498
>Ask teacher about a dead end strand that we didn't discuss
What's that?
>>2655508
Like the evolution went from something and other to homo sapiens, but one strand went off to the side and ended there.
>>2655515
They went extinct.
Do you feel relief now that you know?
Pic related, Erich von Manstein, one of the greatest generals, from Pommeranian/Kashubian(West Slavic) house of von Lewinski.

Some people say /his/ is filled with /pol/, others say it is filled with Marxists. Let's settle it. Please reply earnestly so we can genuinely gauge the biases of this board for threads in the future.

My prediction?
/his/ is basically reddit, /pol/ and /leftypol/ combined into a stew of sheer historical autism
I want the people who judge historical events by modern standards to leave.

Why would someone default to an institutionalized position? Don't people use their own brains anymore?

The story of Adam and Eve is a metaphor for how women ruin everything.

How plausible are the events of Kaiserreich?
>1917: Germany decides not to reopen USW
>Reds destroyed by infighting, Russia eventually established as a shaky democracy
>France and Italy surrender in 1919
>Germany signs a status quo ante bellum with Britain and Japan in 1921
>France, Britain, and Southern Italy overthrown by communist (Syndicalist rather than Leninist) rebels
>their colonial empires collapse with former colonies going independent or being snapped up by Germany
>Germany intervenes in China's civil war and German conglomerates take control of large parts of southern China
>America headed towards three-way civil war, no New Deal
>>2655085
I'm as much a Germaboo as anyone, but Germany did not have the manpower to win in 1917 and its allies were in a terrible state
