Can someone educate me on the Czech republic and Bohemia?
Where did they come from? How were they integrated into the HRE? What did they really do besides be a cultural centre?
Basically give me a run down on before the 20th century please

I don't know the full story but Prague was once a predominantly German city and it didn't become mainly Czech until like the mid 1800's when there was a lot of immigration.
>>2422190
German was probably the predominant language around 1300, and at that time the majority of the patricians were German. Howevver, that changed with the Hussite revolution, when the German language was gradually pushed back and legally disadvantaged. Czechs also took over the town councils (plural because Prague was composed of three towns) at that time. The pre-dominance of the Czech language lasted until 1620 when the Bohemian estates suffered a devastating defeat against the Habsburg emperor. Many Czechs, especially in the upper classes, adopted German language and culture in the following two centuries; in the course of the Czech revival of the 19th century, Czech language and culture were gaining ground again and thus became dominant in Prague again. Immigration of Czechs from rural areas also played a big role, but much of it can also be attributed to the fact that Czechs who had been cosplaying as Germans started to identify as Czechs again.

>Never been a successful society in history based on my ideas
>but that wasn't "real" marxism, see "real" marxism is only when i can claim its "real"...therefore if someone else claims communism as being "real" than its wrong
>i am the sole arbiter of "realness"
when can we as a intellectual race move pass this guy?
Never
>>but that wasn't "real" marxism, see "real" marxism is only when i can claim its "real"...therefore if someone else claims communism as being "real" than its wrong
You have 10 seconds to explain why the US was real communism with reference to Marx's works.
>Never been a successful society in history based on my ideas
That's true, but that's only because ideology is a spook and all systems will inherently be compromised due to the nature of reality. There is no such thing as a pure system.
Heinz Landwehr was a Flak regiment Leutnant for Nazi Germany and died in Wesel, Germany 16 February 1945. I would like to know what division he was in, or at the very least what divisions were in Wesel at the time. Thank you.

Hey buddy, not a lot of guys here would know that shit. Take your question down tohttp://forum.axishistory.com/
Put his name first in the search bar and see if someone was looking for him and made a thread before you do.
And what do you know there is a thread on the forum about him
Is this map about the extent of Attila's empire correct? Is there any archeological or literature evidence that it stretched as far as Denmark and Southern Sweden? There never seems to be a consensus about the actual size of it.
It's not really appropriate to think of borders in antiquity as being the same as modern day borders. They might be defined that way on this particular map because the person who made it read that some random nordic tribe gave the Huns a sack of gold once.
>>2421540
lol no, he did not control even half of that.
All we know is that he was a leader of the Hun-Germanic federation, which basically means wherever they went he ruled, meaning roughly Hungary and surrounding area and then into Germany, nothing else.
>>2421803
We do know that he ruled over the East Goths of Southern Russia and Ukraine though. Most maps are like pic related. Only a small minority like to slap Scandinavia and some other additional territories into it. I want to know what they use as a basis for it though.
Daily reminder this is not a terribly great economics book.

His petty fastidious consideration of the term 'Capital'. A term which he believes is misinterpreted by Smith and Mill but he has misinterpreted both of these authors fundamentally on their definitions of Capital itself.
Warning, I'm only continuing this debate with you if you've read Smith and/or Mill's Principles

Was Zoroaster a Kurd?
>>2421035
Yes
>>2421039
So that means ancient Avestan was an Kurdish dialect.
Good to know, thanks.

why do weebs think this
What do weebs even see in Japanese history and culture? It's very mediocre.
>>2420646
I find ancient china and japan to be fascinating personally. sure western history is too, but sometimes it gets a bit stale
>>2420646
"mediocre" is a relative term. what are you comparing it to? without a context of comparison, calling something "mediocre" is completely meaningless.
Historically, who had the best passports?

My philosophy professor spent three hours lecturing on the Cartesian Cogito without admitting that Cartesian Dualism is fundamentally wrong for how thinking is influenced by the brain and body. She argued that empirical experience, such as language, was unattached to the realization of knowing you are an introspective thinking thing while she then pointed to Hume's critique that the mind without any empirically derived understanding of ideas would render it completely sterile and subsequent thought meaningless. I feel that she's basically a hack and I'm already over it three weeks into the semester.
How mistaken could I be?
I googled I critique to check myself but it pretty much validated my belief. http://www.iep.utm.edu/dualism/#H9

>He who ventures to answer these metaphysical questions at once by an appeal to a sort of INTUITIVE perception, like the person who says, "I think, and know that this, at least, is true, actual, and certain"—will encounter a smile and two notes of interrogation in a philosopher nowadays. "Sir," the philosopher will perhaps give him to understand, "it is improbable that you are not mistaken, but why should it be the truth?"
That was a brilliant argument.
Is this true?
It is a ninja joke
