The good guys are always the powerful ones in the conflict, trying to maintain order, while the bad guys are the weaker ones who always try to rebel against order and think they're cool and edgy, when they're really huge faggots. This is the recurring theme in history. Prove me wrong, /his/.
Pro-tip: you can't.

How much validity is there to the claim that Germany's debt before WW2 was the cause of, or at least a significant factor, in their decision to go to war and acquire new territory?

If debt is the core problem, going to war isn't the solution.
>>
>>3275656
It wasn't so much debt as it was lack of foreign reserves. Germany was heavily dependent on imports, especially for food, iron, and other non-ferrous metals. They were running out of foreign currency to pay for them, and needed the stuff to function. Conquering people and forcing them into an economic union with Germany " solved" the problem.

didn't Germany export a lot of weaponry to fund imports?

How do you mean? Were they actually used? Yes, in several countries and during many periods. Were they effective? That I can't really answer honestly, someone else will have to chime in on that. I just want to clarify the nature of the question.

No, I don't believe so. Population growth has been slowing recently and also remember that more people means more brains who find ways to increase efficiency. Borlaug is a good example of this

What are some underrated/interesting conflicts that happened after the Second World War?
To get the ball rolling, I wanna mention the Lebanese Civil War from 1975-1990
>early '70s, a incredibly religiously diverse small country: politics/representation are officially sectarian, Christians hold most of the power, and Palestinian refugees (including their political leadership) are pouring in
>conflict emerges between Christians (Maronites) and Palestinians + their leftist/Druze/Pan-Arabist allies
>an 'Arab peacekeeping force' (mostly Syrian) gets involved
>Syria takes on a huge role in supporting Lebanese Muslims, at times occupying most of the country, and eventually making Lebanon a satellite state
>countless number of militias, phases, sub-conflicts, shifting alliances (i.e. Lebanese Armed Forces flipping from US to Syria) and sectarian massacres
>Israel, seeing that the only state in the region that doesn't hate it is collapsing, intervenes in 1982 and also occupies part of the country
>supports Christian forces in the south to create a buffer
>Hezbollah come out of nowhere as Lebanese Shi'as, many of whom live in the south, are backed by now-Islamist Iran to counter Israeli-Christian forces
>UN tries to step and it predictably fails
>U.S. embassy gets bombed - Navy responds by bombarding Syrian-backed forces, Marines deployed to support UN effort
>in 1989/1990, political reforms get rid of confessional system and allow Muslims (i.e. Syria) more power - civil war technically over
>low-intensity conflict STILL happening
>Syrian forces remain in Lebanon until mass public demonstrations/"revolution" (in 2005)
>Lebanon, once an oasis of stability and prosperity (at least for the large Christian minority) in the Middle East, is decimated and chronically unstable since

I think in terms of lethality it would be the Great Congo War. Dunno if you count Rawanda in that. The genocide and war are deeply related.
No other war extended over such a giant area either.

It has worked in many places in many different eras. Until some greedy pigdog happy merchant like Israel or (You) starts dividing and conquering.

Been seeing lots of memes lately about dogs wearing armor and conquering the Americas beside the conquistadors.
What dogs are they referring to?

in that picture, the dogs the spanish brought with them to the americas. The phrase "conquered the americas" comes from a book about this very subject that you could find instantly if you googled said key words.

Republicanism was a mistake - western materialism is a disease that has lasted too long. The Romans should have learned more from the Egyptians.

NO; THE EGYPTIANS WERE AS DEGENERATED AS THE ROMANS IN THEIR LATTER CENTURIES, BUT ON THE OPPOSITE EXTREME: THE ROMANS WERE HEDONISTIC MATERIALISTS; THE EGYPTIANS WERE HEDONISTIC SPIRITUALISTS.

I've heard rumors that is autopsy was botched, i think they did if way later after he died, explains why his one testicle was "black as coal". His body might've decomposed alot faster than it should've have
