Wow anon that's such an interesting commentary on literally every important war strategy ever
What do we know about bronze & iron age greece?
>>3278254
Read a book or watch a lecture.
Highlights: There were TWO bronze age greek cultures, minoan and mycaenean. Minoan was more a sea culture and had defenses there, mycaenean came from Minoan culture, Minoans were first.a
They both took heavy influence from middle east cultures. They both died and produced a dark age.
The archaeologists who discovered the most about them were random citizens and not archaeologists.
The dark ages of Greece are a little more interesting as those produce the model for what classical greeks considered morally ideal.
>oldest known statue in human history
>it's zoomorphic
Why are humans so weird?

>furry statue
>found in germany
Sounds about right
>>3278235
fpbp
Oldest known, but still not that old. Probably represents a fairly derived animistic religion.
Also, I would not be so quick to claim it's zoomorphic, or a lion; looks like a rearing bear to me.
Was it overblown?
Could the Germans have sued for peace if they stayed on the defensive rather than attack across the front? I just don't see a scenario in the 1918 offensive in which the Germans win or force peace.
>>3278151
No one wanted to sue for peace.
How would you tell your people they fought and died for nothing?
They tried to pull off one final desperate attack before Americans come in full force across the ocean. By then the war weariness was overwhelming and Germans realized that they're fucked unless they deliver a decisive victory.
Basically they gambled and lost.
I'm looking for a shirt for a friend with a 1930's Emporia State Hornets logo on it. Any of you pseudo-intellectual faggots think you can find it? Or someone with some sort of intelligence. I don't care if you're retarded or not if you find it.
Picture is the logo.
pay 10$ to have the logo printed on a shirt
>>3278148
Looking for authentic shit. It's for a friend, not myself. I couldn't care less about shitty college football teams and their shitty over priced memorabilia.
>>3278145
Either call the school and inquire or call sports memorabilia stores in the area.
How did he get away with it?
>>3278118
Once the Byzantines got control back, they threw him into the river.
>>3278118
God was on his side.
>>3278118
He was pretty much the most powerful man in the empire at the time of his death (Baldwin was an irrelevance and Boniface was clearly a distinct second), especially in Constantinople due to the very strong venetian presence. He was actually offered the throne but refused.
It's not really surprising that he was given a spot amongst the emperors.
>>3278126
Actually tradition says that his tomb was profaned together with those of the other emperors when the turks looted Hagia Sophia in 1453.

Does nothing matter, or everything?
And if anything, is the question trivial or/and tautological?
You'd have to contextualize the concept of mattering
>Pleb: nothing matters

Something that helped me: nihilism is just one philosophy of the universe. The universe consists of all philosophies. Therefore thinking nihilistically is similar to thinking positively.
I was in a huge depersonalized depression (psychosis) and this helped me for a few days until my meds got fixed

what if Na/pol/eon never went to war?
>>3277915
war is the thing that legitimizes his rule
a better question would be what if Napoleon stopped at the fifth coalition and never had the Peninsular War
>>3277939
exactly what the post is about!

How does he do that?
Reminder that the Napoleonic Wars started when Britain declared war in 1803
Anyone got some interesting stories about the first early conquests of America in the caribbean?
"story finds the Spanish conquistadors outside the capitol of Caparra, where a group of Indians had been captured and subdued. While waiting for Ponce de León to arrive from the capitol, the troops amused themselves by harassing the captives. Salazar gave an old Indian woman a folded piece of paper and informed her that it was a letter that was to be carried to the governor- if she refused, she would be fed to the dogs. The frightened woman accepted in the hopes of surviving, but after she turned and began down the road Salazar released Becerrillo and commanded him to take her. As she was charged by the dog, the old woman dropped to her knees and prayed "Please, my Lord Dog. I am on my way to take this letter to Christians. I beg you, my Lord Dog, please do not hurt me."[6] According to witnesses, Becerrillo stopped short and regarded the woman intently. He sniffed at the woman and the paper in her hands, before turning away, lifting a leg, and marking her with urine. He stood by as the woman returned unharmed to the Spanish troops. Upon his arrival, Ponce de León was informed of what had occurred. He commanded the troops, "Free her and send her safely back to her people. Then let us leave this place for now. I will not permit the compassion and forgiveness of a dog to outshine that of a true Christian."

"Once he was tied to the stake, a Franciscan friar who was present, a saintly man,38 told him as much as he could in the short time permitted by his executioners about the Lord and about our Christian faith, all of which was new to him. The friar told him that, if he would only believe what he was now hearing, he would go to Heaven there to enjoy glory and eternal rest, but that, if he would not, he would be consigned to Hell, where he would endure everlasting pain and torment. The lord Hatuey thought for a short while and then asked the friar whether Christians went to Heaven. When the reply came that good ones do, he retorted, without need for further reflection, that, if that was the case, then he chose to go to Hell to ensure that he would never again have to clap eyes on those cruel brutes."
"There was one royal official on the island who, when he was allotted three hundred natives, worked them so hard that, at the end of three months, only thirty – that is to say, just one tenth of the original number – were still alive, the other two hundred and seventy having perished down the mines. Later, he received another consignment of much the same number, or even more, and he saw them off, too. The more he received, the more he killed, until eventually he himself died and the Devil took his soul."
How did they work in the era before computers? And I'm not talking about medieval times when the bank was just a guy with a Leger, I mean right before computers in the 60's and 70's when a single branch could already have tens of thousands of clients. Did they have massive rows of filing cabinets that they had to search through for your books every time you withdrew money? Were you limited to withdrawing money from a single branch? How did transfers work? Wouldn't it have been laughably easy to commit bank fraud?
I am aware I'm probably an idiot with zero functioning brain cells, but spoonfeed me please.

Credit cards and ATMs already existed in the 1960s.
They had a bunch of guys with ledgers. You know Automated Telling Machines (ATMs)? Well, before those, they had Tellers.
Hello /his/, for most people they know that the Great Patriotic War involved the most amount of combatant in an front or theatre of operation in warfare with 10.5 million during its peak,but digging up some stats shows that the Western Front during WW1 almost reached that number,with a peak of 10.1 million at the last day of the war(though its arguable that the peak would be during 1915-1916,where trench warfare was just developing and the huge offensive would not develop yet)
but what im confounded is that there is no number for the Eastern Front,where no number is provided at all and im very sure that there surely is more combatant involved here since the Russian Empire had atleast 12 million men recruited and that the Austro-Hungarian mainly concentrated their forces there with a peak of 7.8 million at 1917
so getting to the point,does anyone have atleast a rough estimate of the numbers of guys fighting there?
also compare the Battle of Stalingrad,the touted most bloodiest battle of all time with the Brusilov offensive
bumping with huge battles
