Different Herod, goyim

Bit of a tyrant but also pretty good.

That degree in Anthropology was worth it.

Behold:
The Indus Valley River Civilization, who worship the Ganges
The Middle Kingdom, which used to be at war until the Qing Dynasty (Thanks Mongolians)
The Aztec Empire, who worshiped the Sun
And don't forget those archer dudes, those guys worship pigeons and there's like, too many of them.

So, what you're me saying is that Mexico is the bad guy and that an Indian brother and sister, a blind Chinese girl, and the last American left on Earth should team up to stop them?

I always thought that water was more like inuits or siberians, and fire was Japan

PS what ever happened to the legend of korra? I used to be a big fan of the first series but never got far into the new one

Korra finished up about 2 years ago, and general consensus was that it was alright, but a step down from Avatar.

he is a great orator, but his philosophical contributions aren't really anything to talk about

Mizrahi are Yemeni traders who converted in like 600-800 AD????.
There's supposedly evidence of a few semi permanent settlements in the area but it's too hard to tell. Even if they speak Hebrew they still build like Bedouins and Arabs

Redpill me on the Spanish-American War:

What are your thoughts?
Why is it so underrated?
Why did Spain lose so hard against the USA?

>why did Spain, an impoverished country in a 300 year-long decline, lose so hard against a country much bigger and wealthier than it is in a war that was fought right off of that country's coast, which happens to be an ocean away from Spain
>>
>>3271626
>What are your thoughts?
The USA utterly crushed the Spanish but fucked itself over by annexing the Philippines, causing a much longer and more bloody war that no one really talks about.
>Why is it so underrated?
The war was over once the Spanish fleets at Manila and Havana got blasted, the rest was only a matter of time
>Why did Spain lose so hard against the USA?
A decrepit shadow of an empire versus a massive and increasingly powerful nation?
>>
>>3271629
It makes me sad how Spain ended up so fucked up. They deserved better.

A strong Spain in the early 1900 would be cool as fuck. Not the decadent shithole it was.

Is burckhardt a good historian?
4 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>3271538
Influential? Yes. Good? No.

His conception of 'the renaissance' is highly disputed and outdated. His definition is quite restrictive both geographically and chronologically. He also failed to include the reality that the legacy of Greco-Roman cultures dominated the history of the West (from the 5th century AD until at least the 19th century), and caused many cultural revivals. The history of Europe is not a black-and-white story of a cultural superior empire and a later cultural revival/emulation, with a 'dark age' with no culture in between.

Should I read "The Age of Constantine" for historiographical reasons?
>>
>>3272126
>historiographical
Not really. He doesn't delve deeply into methodology or epistemology. It is far better to read works of Leopold von Ranke, Pirenne, Huizinga or any Annales historian (Braudel, Febvre, Boch, etc). These works are a lot more significant regarding historiography.

If the U.S., the commonwealth of countries, France, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, and the Netherlands, had declared war on Hitler in 1834 when he remilitarized the Rhineland. As well as declaring war on Japan after they do Nanking. How different would the world look? Would the Triparite Agreement ever occurred? The holocaust? Fall of Singapore?

The US didn't exist in 1835. And Hitler wouldn't be born for another 30 years. Are you literally retarded? I hope you get raped by nigger ducks.

Well it's going to be difficult to do this in 1834 when Germany and Poland didn't exist and Japan still had Sakoku, and America didn't have a Pacific coast

It's a dumb question, but this has always boggled my mind and I don't have the materials to do it myself at hand.

What happens if you wrap a piece of paper around a sphere, draw a map of earth, with all the sizes right because it's the right shape, and then peal off the paper? How does that not produce a size-accurate flat map of earth?

Was the idea of Welthauptstadt Germania actually possible?

>>3271488
was idea possible?
what does that mean?
was the construction of such a building feasible?
yes
>>
No. They tested the building's feasibility with individual columns, and the columns sank into the ground almost immediately because of their sheer weight. Also, the dome would have been so massive that it would have had its own internal atmosphere, it would have literally rained on people inside the building (admittedly, that is a really fucking cool concept).

>No. They tested the building's feasibility with individual columns, and the columns sank into the ground almost immediately because of their sheer weight.
Wtf are you talking about? They never tested ANYTHING about this building.

They DID test the swampy soil of berlin with massive concrete structures and yeah the soil of berlin would not have been good for it. But the building itself or anything related to it.

I've never seen a Ken Burns documentary.
>>
I don't think I will. I loved Ken Burns' Civil War series, but honestly I just don't give enough of a fuck about Vietnam to sit through hours and hours about it. I get that it was America's first defeat in a war (1812 notwithstanding), but nothing about it really grabs my attention. Maybe because I was born so long after it ended.
