Was the USSR a fascist state?
>heavily nationalistic
>rejected foreign culture and influence
>believed the whole world had to be reigned by it's ideology (and by extension, by themselves)
>everyone is equal but government (of the "people") is supreme mentality
>didn't allow free media, being against the state was enough to be branded a traitor
>government heavily involved in the organization of the economy
Sounds a lot like the tenets of fascism.
>>3322911
It was based on class conflict instead of class cooperation, so literally the opposite of fascism.
>>3322914
Care to elaborate?

Was Generalplan Ost just a larger version of what the Imperial G*rmans were planning to do in World War I?
>>3322903
No, it was Soviet fiction.

No, in WWI they wanted to increase Prussia's land but they didn't want to exterminate people.

Finland could be like a better version of Japan today if it had just been left to it's own devices
>Minor guerrilla uprising starts in one of your colonies
>Put mental patients and criminals in uniform
>Send them to go and kill the civilians of that country any time the guerrillas attack
>For some reason the guerrillas keep growing in numbers the more innocent people you kill
>What the fuck? Torture them too now, I guess
>Basically the entire colony is your enemy now
>How'd that happen
Did they not care if Ireland got it's independence and just wanted an excuse to kill some Irish people one last time? Or were they genuinely braindead?
>>3322864
Why would anybody care about Ireland?
It was all just a bit of craic that went wrong I'd say

Is the myth of the hero really a self defense mechanism of the human species.
>>3322809
No, it is the anticipation of the overman
>>3322821
What does that mean?
>>3322821
Seriously thou really think about it a hero usually sacrifices himself for the greater good. To me that mean it's kinda a survival of the fitest. I guess I want to see the bigger picture if that makes sense

Why is it that all the temperate and cold regions of the world are inhabited by Whites or East Asians while until recently Black and Brown peoples were mostly confined to the hotter tropical and subtropical regions?
Is there an historical reason that can account for this phenomena?
geographic seperation and ecogeographic selection partitioning humanity into breeds. It is not mere color that diverges, but overall morphology, humans in the tropics have more surface to mass for heat transfer and vice versa for the temperate and glacial populations.
Yeah it's called the sun.
>>3322627
>the sun explains white people living in Australia
My question was a little deeper than that
>unrelated image.
Yes. The Northern Wars come immediately to mind

>A Protestant Prince becoming Catholic to take over the throne of Poland supported by an Orthodox monarch in conflict with a Protestant monarch

No
Christians should not kill christians
Why didn't Darius just go through the Caucasus? Did he fear the чypкa warrior?
Logistics, the Persians had a pretty good navy and could easily secure the Hellespont.
There's no fucking reason to. The Caucuses are about as difficult to cross as the alps, crossing them is something you'd want to avoid at all cost

Excuses
>The hymn is said to have been inspired by a beautiful young Abyssinian girl, who was found by the Italian troops at the beginning of the Italian invasion of Ethiopia.
>Faccetta Nera talks about how the black girl will be taken back to Rome and offered a new life, free from the bonds of slavery. There, the song's narrator explain that she will be introduced to new laws and rulers.
>During the invasion the song was hugely popular in Italy and caused national fervor. The implicitly erotic song was, however, somewhat of an embarrassment for the Fascist government, which had, starting in May 1936, introduced several laws prohibiting cohabitation and marriage between Italians and native people of the Italian colonial empire. These efforts culminated in the Italian Racial Laws of 1938. The Fascist authorities considered banning the song, and removed all picture postcards depicting Abyssinian women from Roman shop windows.

Why couldn't Italians stop fucking? Even their government can't force them to.
I know what I wouldn't stop fucking
>Asking humans with horomone systems well within the gaussian bell curve not to copulate
Humans are humans my man, be it in Rio or the Pacific island chains.

Yes but soldiers are suppose to resist their primal urges.
Did the German soldiers resort to having copious amounts of sex and debauchery when advancing through Europe? No, most kept the cause in mind more than their sexual wants.
ITT: The best 'what if' questions.
What is Plan Z was actually completed?
>>3321085
Low quality, inexperienced German fleet sets sail and gets shredded in the first clash by Royal Navy.
Imagine sinking of Bismarck. Add plan Z and you would get sinking of 50 Bismarcks. The Germans sucked in capital ships, plain and simple. One of their best heavy cruisers was lost by an accidental hit of Norwegian coastal artillery.
>>3321085
Enormous amounts of steel are diverted towards building a considerable surface fleet. Those amounts of steel are not available for either the Luftwaffe or the Heer. Without a massive build up in those two arms, Germany's offensive into Belgium and France likely stalls, and Hitler is forced into a land war that he is going to have a great deal of trouble winning. The necessity of keeping capital ships, planes, and cruisers in and around the North Sea makes submarines harder to intercept, but on the other hand, the lack of French ports to base out of hampers their efficiency by a large degree.
Overall, the prognosis for Hitler's Germany is much worse than it was historically.

Jabzy is one of the better fun amateur historians. I haven't fact checked everything obviously, but I think you would enjoy his snippets. One video that peeks your interest can send you down the rabbit-hole.
Thought a on the world's first world dictator, Nimrod?
Who would win in a fight, WW1 or WW2?
Do you buy the argument that almost all foreign politics prior to 1945 were determined by geography.
>>3320955
>Prior to 1945
It hasn't stopped. Geography still controls the fate of nations.
>>3320955
It never stopped being so.

No. It's a big factor but hardly a sole factor.
