Not to mention the Spanish sources are weird when it comes to how many they were fighting and the causalities.
I was gonna post this on /lit/ but I guess it's more relevant here.
What are are some books written by Kings, Queens, Emperors or other kinds of Monarchs worth checking out? I'm interested in reading about books written or at least transcribed by these kinds of figures specifically.

What exactly was Germany's endgame in WW1?
Let's say they take Paris and the rest of France or whatever. What then? Keep going to Britain?
I've always been taught WW1 was the culmination of a lot of pent up tension but never really understood what the actual point was.
>>2499088
>What then?
Offer a white peace to the British Empire where Germany pulls out of all occupied territory and reinstates the governments there all while taking a bunch of French colonies.
There wasn't any. Basically everyone had some defense pact with everybody else and kept shit secret. Ferdinand died and it was enough to be seen as an act of war. Because of all these backdoor deals and alliances, everyone gets dragged in to fight because everyone is allied with a million other people and have to honor it.
It was such a pointless clusterfuck.
>>2499088
Prestige and hegemony over Europe.
France would be subdued and degraded to second-rate power.
Russia would be forced out war, weakened or balkanized (this sort of happened.
Britsh sea power would be weakened and some colonies possibly stripped from them.
Any Pajeets on this board? What do you guys think about Hitler? Do you or any close friends/family members really think that Hitler was an avatar of Vishnu?

Most people I've talked to don't care about him, and a large number don't like him, due to the usual reasons.
However there is a subsection if the Hindutva community to frickin love the guy. They may think he's an avatar of Vishnu, but it's more about worshipping anti-communist authoritarians. Added with his obsession with "aryans" and the swastika, eh, it sorta works out.
Was Albert Speer right to ignore Hitler's scorched earth policy for Germany and the destruction of French industry?

Pic related, taken from Gerson Cohen's, "Esau as Symbol in Medieval Jewish Thought" where he cites "Josippon" by Joseph ben Gorion wherein Gorion explains an alternate origin of Romulus as a descendant of Esau- just read the pic related.
Does this have any historical legitimacy to it or is it Jews just trying to provide evidence for the whole, "Edom as Rome" narrative?
>>2498829
Yeah. A Jewish guy born thousands of years before Rome is Romulus.
Do these retarded fucktards like OP not realize that the comparison is metaphorical and not literal? Jesus tapdancing Christ, how are you people this fucking retarded?
>>2498866
I don't believe this I am just asking a question. I should have done the research of when Zepho lived and when Romulus reigned. The dates don't line up as far as I can tell. Do you know why people believe this theory if the dates don't line up?
>socialism doesn't work because you are spending someone else's money
>but democracy somehow does?
Can someone explain this to me? The reason why socialism is nonfunctional is simple to explain via economic theory, as seen in pic related. But from what I can tell, the same argument can be used against universal democracy.
If EVERYONE gets a vote, that means you can vote to take somebody else's money away (which is exactly what happens in practice). Should a capitalist democracy therefore not restrict voting to taxpayers only? e.g., the restriction to land-owning males only such as in the past? The lack of such explains the observation of developed countries inevitably devolving into failing socialist states.
Modern liberal democracies are completely unfit for purpose, and cannot be justified. Why do people support it?
>>2498731
You realize that modern liberal democracies are only limited democracies right?
>>2498731
Sounds pretty retarded to me, like you haven't given the idea a lot of thought.

What does /his/ make of this article? Is it just another case of viewing classical history through modern revisionist lens or is there some truth to it?

These two tend to be inclusive of each other
It's interesting history, but seeing it as a third gender is certainly stretching it.
>men or women in liaisons with the adolescent wakashu; female geisha dressing like wakashu and engaging in rough sex; male prostitutes cross-dressing as women; men impersonating women on the Kabuki stage, a tradition that lasts to this day; and even a male Kabuki actor impersonating a woman who pretends at one point to be a man.
Sound's like Roman society to be quite honest.
>>2498580
I once wrote a paper comparing classical Japanese society to Ancient Greco-Roman society. There's quite a lot of similarities there. I was more familiar with Greece at the time, so that's what most of my essay was on.
Teacher-Wakashu is pretty much how Teacher:Student relationships worked in Greece. Though Japan had a more definite cutoff date, while in Greece it was "first sign of facial hair" that was generally the end of boyhood. Typically in Greece, it was seen as weird to fuck a boy with facial hair still.
Greek men impersonated women in Greek theater, there was even a whole play of many men impersonating women who were impersonating men (Assemblywomen).
Not too familiar with prostitution in Greece or Rome to comment on that though. Only know about hetaroi, which isn't really related to your post.
Was the first world war really a "world war"?
Many European colonies at the time referred to it as the "European civil war" or "White man's war"

From the Christian perspective, pagan 'gods' and 'deities' are the legends of ancient Nephilim giants and fallen angels. Pagans essentially worship demons and false gods. The Greek titans for example is just the mythologization of the pre-Flood men of renown.
You should check out Bill Cooper's "Mystery Babylon" podcast, see how it all ties together.
Bible knows them as fallen angels (Genesis 6 or Book of Enoch).
Babylonians called them the Annunaki.
Nu-Atheists call them Ancient Aliens.
Pagans knew them as 'gods'.
