Could Boudica have won if she had listened to her generals?
>this is a 10/10 in bongland
>>2585062
How the fuck could we possibly know that?
But probably not, not many people won against Rome.
>>2585062
What did her generals say? Who even were her generals?
What's the CULTURAL legacy of the Black Death?
I've heard enough about the social and economic transformations stemming from the Plague, but what of the cultural impact?
>>2584984
it's argued it is one of the many factors that prompted such things as the reinessance, causing a widespread discontent towards a God who would let all that happen
That's one of the things
stupid shitty cats being the meme pet of all time
fuck me running, enough already
>>2584990
You're a fucking idiot. People became way more religious in Europe after the black death, just look at reformed Christianity.
Is technological development the primary catalyst for cultural change in societies?
>>2584925
The Christianization of Roman and Barbarian Europe would put a dent in that idea.
If by catalyst you mean cause, sometimes.
More often, it is an accelerator.
For example, advancements in communications technology enable faster movement of information and thus directly increases the rate of cultural change.
>>2584935
Could those ideas have spread as effectively if technology didn't allow for faster modes of transportation?
>>2584943
I meant accelerator. I think what you said about faster movement of information applies to my response to the other person I quoted in this post.
Every single time I see an ethnic map, I can't help but not notice that there is no apparent difference between a linguistic map and an ethnic map
So what's the fucking difference between ethnicity and language. And I don't mean conceptually, I mean in reality
Even purely ethnic maps are reductive, a Frenchmen from the Riviera and one from Brittany look nothing alike, people should be stratified by haploshits
ethnic is not synonymous with genetic.
ethnicity is basically defined by language.
>>2584949
>ethnicity is basically defined by language
so there is no real difference. A linguistic group is an ethnic group. That's a bummer
My teacher brought up 4 things needed to Industrialize. Let's use Great Britain as an example.
1) Natural Resources (To Build and To Fuel) Historical Evidence: Iron, Sulfur, and Cotton
2) A Decently Sized Population Historical Evidence: Population of London
3) Political Stability (Needed people to organize and manage economic growth, and to create a sense of nationalism) Historical Evidence: Calico acts, Tariffs
4) Capitalist Society (Money needed to invest into the system) Historical Evidence: British East India Company
He asked "do you believe there are any countries, out there today that meet all of these requirements to industrialized, but both were and currently not developed since the Industrial revolution?"
I've done research, and I believe not as most undeveloped countries are low in Natural Resources and political unstable.
I would like to hear your opinions, and if you oppose I'd be happy to hear the country that fulfills these requirements but are not developed and evidence to prove so.
>>2584849
Russia only industrialized under communism
>I've done research, and I believe not as most undeveloped countries are low in Natural Resources and political unstable.
Countries like Israel and Switzerland are first world despite no natural resources and political stability is a result of being a shithole, not the other way around
Ah okay any ideas that are not developed at all TODAY and still meet all the requirements?
>>2584849
>South cone, Greenland and Cuba third world.
This must be american education or bait
We've seen the memes a hundred times before, but what do you know about the distinctive history of Somalia?
>>2584603
spear chucking niggers
>>2584688
They aren't niggers, they're spear chucking afroasiatics.
RIGHTFUL ETHIOPIAN CLAY

>only country to have a successful by the definition communist revolution
Somalia is what real Communism looks like people.
Tell me the history of this state, /his/. The Good, Bad, and the Neat.
>>2584237
It had the most Jim Crow Laws enacted then any other states during the 50's and 60's.
I'll give you a quick run down.
Native Americans have been settled in California for thousands of years and didn't come into contact with the old world until Europeans started exploring in the 1500s. English and Spanish explores ventured into the area but only Spain got a foothold in the area. The Spanish Empire claimed the land as their own and set up 21 missions along the coast in order to convert the natives in the late 1700s. Russia also made their way all the down to California at around this time but they didn't really do much besides trade and make small settlements. Once Mexico got their independence from Spain California was now a part of Mexico. Eventually, once the USA expanded west enough, Mexico and the USA fought a war and California became a part of the USA. California wasn't really populated by many people until it became a part of the USA. A big reason why it became populated was the Gold Rush that happened in the mid 1800s. Since then it has become the most populous and prosperous state in the USA.

Was Stalingrad the the beginning of the end?
Eastern Front thread
>>2584097
They'd already lost.
The problem is, blocking off the Caucasus Oil was basically Germany's last chance for a negotiated peace with Stalin. Even if by miracle they free the sixth army, they still have like 200km of land left to secure to reach the Caspian.
>>2584097
No. Germany had lost the minute they failed to take Kiev on time.
>>2584108
They didn't need to "block it off" (impossible anyway, what with Soviet ability to ship it out of Baku and anywhere to the Caspian, which has a coastline that's fucking colossal), they needed to seize it to ease the enormous logistical strain of operating that far away from their own fuel sources.
Yo dude, the 90s were fucking radical man.
Can someone from the up top give me a down low on this radical period of time?
Cha, check it, and hit me up on the tubular interwebs when ya get anything brah.
Objectively the peak of civilization that will be remembered like Rome before the collapse.

Why is he worshiped by blacks?
>>2583235
Last African ruler to fall to Europeans. Even Liberia was viewed as an American puppet.
> worshiped
Just a few small jamaican sects did this in the 60s.
The whole thing was blown out of proportion by the popularity of reggae music worldwide.
>>2583235
>Why is he worshiped by Rastafarians?
Because they are idiots.
