Give me any and all info you have of this great conflict /his/torians. The truth must be preserved to keep naysayers in line.
I want to see /his/ write an actual history book about FKHW, similar to what /lit/ did with The Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra.

During the Cold War, I understand that the Soviets and Pact had plans to invade Western Europe conventionally, however, did they ever establish plans to conventionally invade the United States?
probably not
they would be content in controlling the continent coercively

This is the only actual Soviet plan i can think of right now
I mean strategically there wasn't any point in invading US mainland when you could just nuke it to dust.
In short, no. The biggest difference from NATO was the assumption almost all nuclear weapons would be expended before the conventional phase started. There would be little of value left in the United States, making a huge investment in the navy kinda pointless and honestly futile because our own navy would still be going all over.
Can we talk about the period in human history where all life that has ever existed was once microscopic cell organisms living in the depths of the oceans for a few hundred million years?

cool story my dude
If all of humanity came from the same original human ancestors, how and why did it get broken apart into all those different races and habitats? Is there a less fantastical explanation for what the bible explains with the tower of babel story?
>>3279537
The three sons of adam and eve got into a fight who could impregnate eve first.
thats how it broke up bro.
The Tower of babel is an explanation for how the original Human Language became many languages. The answer to how it really happened is that when people are in isolation, they go off and change in different ways.
Look at American and British English, one says Parking Lot, the other says Car Park. As time goes on, languages naturally shift, and if people are separated, they shift in different directions.

Wouldn't it make more sense to stick together? Why would anyone want to abandon their friends and family for the very first time in human history?
Where was Camelot?

Camulodunum, modern Colchester. Arthur is commonly imagined as a Welsh warlord, but in his time most of what is now England was still Romano-British, and the two main settlement areas of the English were in Sussex and in East Anglia. Colchester is perfectly placed between these two areas, and would make an ideal "capital" for an anti-English warlord like Arthur.

>threading your own post
You need to go back.
this >>3279438
Though Arthur was 5th century King Riothamus and Camulodonum ceased to be the Roman capital after Boudicea, Arthur's tale is an amalgam of stories from the "beforetimes", rather like Atlantis.
Why isn't the modern warlord-era China so easily ignored by the public when it's so fascinating historically?
Warlord Era China is literally the most patrician taste possible. Normie's don't even know it existed. In their minds, the China goes straight from the Qing Empire to WW2 in some sort of time-disruption.
>>3279323
Because WW1 was happening at the same time.

lol in the minds of normies, china is the place that makes all the toys and sushi

The truth is that there is no really "good" source about the early years of Roman history. It was a mystery even to Roman historians themselves, who often struggled to piece together the various founding myths into a semi-plausible narrative. Many Romans came to believe that they were descendants of Trojans, you know, like from the Illiad. According to their legends, after the city of Troy was destroyed, a Trojan soldier migrated to Italy, and then eventually his descendent Romulus founded the city of Rome.
As for how Rome became a Republic, the Romans seemed to believe that they first had a series of 7 kings, starting with Romulus, each of which made an important contribution to the city's evolution. However, the 7th king was a cruel and vile man, who drove the Romans to revolt. After deposing this seventh king, the Romans swore that they would never again allow 1 man to have absolute power. From this point on, power would be shared, and there would a constitution with enough checks and balances to prevent a new monarch from ever forming. At least, that's the story.
SPQR by Mary Beard spends a LONG time talking about it if you're still interested after reading that blurb I just gave you.
>>3279470
I know the basic narrative, but I want a fuller picture outside of just basic political details. Does SPQR use a lot of archeological evidence to try to piece together the daily lives of a Roman in this period?
>>3279513
>Does SPQR use a lot of archeological evidence to try to piece together the daily lives of a Roman in this period?
Yes and no. Whenever archeological evidence actually exists, SPQR uses that. However, given that there is very little remaining from Rome's early years, there just isn't much to go on, and so the founding myths are made the center of the discussion for those chapters.
The book spends a long time discussing the legends and trying to extract kernels of truth from them. Things like the seven original kings are impossible to verify or disprove, but since many of them have blatantly supernatural elements included in their stories, historians tend to discount them. Even Roman historians, while being able to eventually construct a semi-coherent narrative from the mess of contradictory stories, often disagreed on the details, and even they sometimes expressed skepticism about the supernatural elements in the stories.

Can I get into a psych Ph.D program with a math/CS undergrad? I have some reasonable amount of stats work, but nothing to the graduate level (measure-theoretic)

Yes. Psychology is a fucking joke.

Did you meet psych majors in college?
>>3278715
Depends entirely on the university. I can't think of one that would allow it.

I'm looking for any information regarding Naval Affairs in China during the Warlord Era, but specifically answers to these questions.

What steps does Rome need to undertake to ensure hegemony over Europe? I'll start by listing things that should/can be done after the reign of Augustus: (source: anons)
>better metallurgy (for dat dere steam power)
>better agricultural tools

>centralized government/division of powers
>No gold debasing
inb4 it's not easy to do these things.
