Is there any historical fact to their claims regarding native ancestry, or even pre-colonial north american history?
>>2638974
None.

Not trying to bait, but how could they get not even one thing right about history or ancients? Thanks for being patient and concise in advance.

They lacked peer review and avoided contrary viewpoints in order to follow the age old promise of paradise.
What was the 15th century equivalent of the food service industry? What would be the stereotypical dead end job of a young adult for a commoner? One who is not part of a farm; one living in a very large town or proper city.

Why did the Yugoslav war happen?
unresolved ethnic/religious disputes re-emerged after complete political, economic and societal collapse.
>>2638653
>Why did the Yugoslav war happen?
Serbian megalomania, inflamed by generations of Muslim Turk oppression.
Post-WWI Yugoslavia was essentially “Greater Serbia” in all but name, as most of the important positions in government, industry, military, academia, etc. were held by Serbs and all the non-Serbs quite rightly resented this.
Then WWII rolls around and all the non-Serbs try to throw off the Serbian yoke in a bloody civil war, only for “Greater Serbia” to be reinstated after the war, where most of the important positions in government, industry, military, academia, etc. were again held by Serbs.
Then Communism collapses and all the non-Serbs again try to throw off the Serbian yoke in another bloody civil war, finally winning this time.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the Serbs and I agree with them that the borders of Serbia (and Croatia) should have been expanded, as Bosnia is a meme state with only a handful of people but they were dicks to too many people for too long for the break up of Yugoslavia to be peaceful.

kek, always knew it was only a matter of time before jews decided Newton was actually a jew. Can't have a goy being the most distinguished intellect to ever live can we now?
He didn't care much for jews, he was obsessed with antiquity though, spending more time on alchemy and biblical calculations that physics.

I DO NOT KNOW IF IT ACTUALLY DESERVES THE TITLE OF "GREATEST MUSICAL CREATION IN HISTORY", BUT IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST.
MY FAVOURITE PART IS "GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG", PARTICULARLY THE LAST THREE SCENES OF ACT III, "STARKE SCHEITE", "MEIN ERBE NUN", AND "FLIEGT HEIM IHR RABEN", ESPECIALLY THE "DECCA RECORDS" VERSION PERFORMED BY GEORG SOLTI, STARRING BIRGIT NILSSON.
PURE HEROIC TRAGEDY.

Was the Munich Agreement the worst deal in human history?
Munich agreement and chamberlain get anew unfairly bad rap, imo. You have to remember that ww1 was only what, 20 years prior to that? Besides the sheer numbers killed and the standard horrors of war, ww1 was profoundly shocking in a way few wars ever are. Nobody had seen war like that before, with its industrialized mass death and it's fruitlessness. No one had dreamed that war could be THAT bad. Without the munich agreement, there would have been another general European war, a return to that horror, and nobody wanted that. It wasn't naivete that drove it, even chamberlain recognized that the Germans might break the arrangement, but it was either certainly war, or a chance (however small) at peace. Iirc, even the leader of czechoslovakia at the time basically said 'if this averts war, bless you' or something to that effect.

He pretty much immediately started arming the country when he got back from the accords too.
Some think he was just stalling for time.
>>2638475
Stalling for time by giving Hitler control of one of the productive industrial regions in Europe?
I want to get into history, which time period should I research first?
Sumer and Egypt, might as well start at the beginning.
The Greeks
Don't start with a period start. Start with a country or region
One of the interesting things that stood out to me from Lord of the Rings was the fact that hobbits aren't really considered adults until 33. Would this, in a way, be better for our society as well? It does not put as much pressure on still developing minds and will allow rational choices to be made about the future as opposed to snap decisions which lead back to the pressure.
Hobbits and humans have pretty much the same lifespan, so I wonder if this could work as something more beneficial than what we have now?
But then who will die in the wars? Physical peak for males is 25 y/o.

What would these fully-grown children do? Work? Schooling? Children are very expensive, so to expect children to be children for an additional 15 years would basically prohibit all but the wealthiest people from undertaking it in a capitalist system.
If they worked, would they have all the rights of a worker? What exactly are the privileges that would be restricted from them? Would they be paid less for doing the same work (like extended internships)? Would they be able to consent to things like marriage/having their own children/relocation?
