They are mostly based on fossils and stories of animals from far away places, yes.
Tons of animals that were once "cryptids" are now found in zoos everywhere. Ie the okapi, gorillas. People really knew nothing about gorillas just 100 years ago.

I read somewhere that the phoenicians killed gorilas

Wouldn't doubt it. Sand people are so primitive.

You better fucking love history (and I mean really, REALLY love it) because you won't be making much. You should see if you can get your teaching degree at the same time.

>>3282691
Law or teaching. That's what I'm doing.

Forgot to mention I DON'T want to be a fucking teacher.

They ignore it because they lost. America couldn't afford to let Tehran control the ports at Basra at the time, so we didn't let them win, even though we made a killing (haha) selling arms to both sides

>>3282439

Neither side won.

We generally discuss Iran-related stuff when others post a thread on a certain subject. I've never made a thread about Iran.

The massacre of romans under the orders of Mithridates

King Richard is ransomed, tanks English Economy or some shit

>King pilgrims so hard, the gold price needs a decade to recovers
Pretty sure that's Mansa Musa.

Did Byzantines ever achieve anything noteworthy, besides surviving for a long time?
Was there ever a shittier empire and shittier culture that survived so long?

Geopolitics.
Tho i personally believe that the right of selfdetermination should be absolute, and stand by it firmly; it's not that hard to understand why generally foreign powers don't like this. Because it can get messy. Countries like to hold onto their borders or to certain strategic geographic location (example being the recent India-China standoff, or say historically Gibraltar).
This really gets me pissed in regards to the relatively recent history of the Balkans.
The sheer hypocrisy from the international community in regards to Bosnia and Kosovo. By God, you can't just use double standards. Bosnia is an incredibly dysfunctional country. But they let Kosovo separate from Serbia. Imagine how dysfunctional Serbia would be politically if there were 2 million Albanians voting? But then again, what of the Serbian populated areas in Kosovo (at least the north should be given back to Serbia).
Just end this misery, ffs, and let the people live in the countries that they want to live in.

>>3281620
Call me crazy, but Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as India and Pakistan have borders that aren't a straight line, but follow county's ethnicity/loyalty.
Why can't a Bosnian village "inside" Serbia be nationally Bosnian?

>>3281591

1. States do NOT like giving up territory for any reason.

2. Ethnicities are not neatly distributed so that you can draw lines between them. That is the fundamental problem of nation states. The only ways to correct it are either to establish a shit ton of enclaves within the larger states - which makes life miserable for everyone involved - or ethnic cleansing.

People pile a lot of shit on multiculturalism, but forget that the multicultural ideal is the result of people looking at nation states over the past century and a half and going "Whoa, okay this shit is not working right."

What does this mean?

>>3280964
Hitler was 6'1

>>3281034
I'm fairly certain he was 5'9'', since he was barely taller than Mussolini

I found the Christians in that movie baffling as well. What do they get out Christianity? The answer is that it's some kind of cognitive glitch. It's not a matter of theology or logic, it's something in our mind that can go wrong under specific circumstances but is beneficial most of the time.
You could ask why the fuck someone would become a cathar too.

>>3280824
>The idea of two Gods or principles, one being good and the other evil, was central to Cathar beliefs. The good God was the God of the New Testament and the creator of the spiritual realm, contrasted with the evil Old Testament God—the creator of the physical world whom many Cathars, and particularly their persecutors, identified as Satan.

fascinating tho

Was there a reason Germany hastily established Vichy rather then waiting until after the war to establish the puppet government

Do you know why he allowed it?

Because he was weak and old, and could die any second.

The Soviets weren't even better during their early years. It's dangerous to get it in your head that you are 100% correct and that anybody who says otherwise is a reactionary trying to undermine your authority.

This is the nature of "revolutionary" people, at a certain point their desire to change the status quo transcends their actual desire to bring about positive change, which is why you have "progressives" in the first world trying to give hormone blockers to children so they can "choose their gender", because to such people progress, revolution, change, it matters more than what actually produces the best results. They always try to battle nature and they always lose, ultimately.

>>3279715
Yeah but did the Soviets ever get the idea that fucking insects and small animals were reactionaries?

>>3279698
Hitler and Mussolini were somewhat at odds pre-WWII as both had their sites on annexing Austria so probably not.

>>3279698

I don't understand the point of these stupid fucking threads.

>could Rommel have beaten Montgomery if he had an infinite amount of supplies?
>could the Germans have won if they just invaded Britain first?
>what if America sided with Germany?

And now this faggot is asking such an obscure question, like who the fuck cares if Hitler could have invaded France from Italy? Was there ever serious contemplation by the German high staff on invading France from Italy?

Fucking hell.

Why would he have? He took France excellently as he did.

How do we know it actually existed

Okay

But now, arabs have invaded and replaced the white Ancient Egyptians and this is why Egypt is a shithole
