just when i thought i could respect the mob i find out they're racist pigs
>>3265672
>the mob
Capone's south side gang was not associated with The Commission or the umbrella organization known as La Cosa Nostra. It was a one off. Don't worry though, the actual mob is also racist pigs.
What would it have taken for the Axis powers to win the war, and for Germany to completely take over Europe?
Would you have to erase the fact that the US created and used the atomic bomb in order to see a victory for the Axis powers, or could they still have won the war even with the US' use of nuclear weapons?
What would it have taken for the Axis powers to win the war, and for Germany to completely take over Europe?
Maintain the non-agression pact with the Soviets.

Magic. Alien technology
>Would you have to erase the fact that the US created and used the atomic bomb in order to see a victory for the Axis powers, or could they still have won the war even with the US' use of nuclear weapons?
I mean, theoretically, you could see the Axis winning if the U.S. decides the game isn't worth the candle. Atomic weapons are really only a fraction of this. The U.S. had roughly 4 times the pre-war GDP of Germany, and a massively higher population. It is unlikely that Germany can win a total and open war against the U.S. at all, even if America is restricted to conventional weaponry.
What does /his/ think about Hamilton?
Who hears the concept for this and says, yeah that sounds like a good idea, that sounds interesting, I want to pay money to watch that.
>>3264990
>gay niggers rapping about the worst founding father and glorifying him
shit
>>3264990
I'm not a fan of the Federalists and the white-washing of Hamilton's early involvement in the slave trade to make him out to be the epitome of an abolitionist is annoying. Other than that it's a neat play, it's more hip than 1776 and more well-known than the Andrew Jackson rock opera.
>reading manufacturing consent
>read about USA's actions in Vietnam and Nicaragua across multiple presidencies
Is it necessary to be a psycho to be president? Why do we put up with this charade?
Sociopaths are the ruling caste. Deal with it.
>>3264947
Overindulgence in Arrogance
It's not neccesary, but you are much more likely to become President if you are one.
Hey /his, I need some historical flags to decorate my dorm room like the history autist I am. Any recommendations?
Also, historical flag thread.
Can't go wrong with this one
Where is the art and literature of the Phoenicians?
It seems like their art never surpassed the archaic level, while Greeks had classical art, Hellenistic art and various high culture.
Phoenicians had city states and colonies just like Greeks, intensive contact with Greek traders, were literate, and very rich.
That feel when no Punic GF
This is actually good art.
[spoiler]She is from a Greek colony in Spain that was conquered by Carthage.
Most of Phoenician art left is from their western colonies in Iberia, Sicily and Sardinia
This type of grinning mask was really common in the Punic world (N.Africa, Sardini and Sicily)
The troubled regions that China is intent on controlling these days (Tibet, Xinjiang) weren't even controlled by the Chinese during the last actual Chinese dynasty (the Ming), they were acquired by Manchus who conquered them after they conquered China and took it from the Chinese. All the population and economic activity is located within the borders of the former Ming dynasty anyway, and China let most of Mongolia go already and did just fine. And losing Tibet would mean they could stop clashing with India all the time. Would it be better for China to just let the Qing conquests that want to leave separate so they can stop wasting money on pacifying and developing hostile and remote regions that nobody who matters lives in anyway?
>>3264323
Tibet is of great strategic important, most of China's rivers come from Tibet.
Xinjiang was controlled both by Han and Tang. But China should keep it, fuck the t*rks, they deserve it. If Xinjiang came independent the *yghurs would suppress the other minorities in the area anyway. To not forget Xinjiang is still of great importance because it has great geographical barriers.
Outer Mongolia is a literal shithole inhabited by fake Mongolians who don't even write in Mongolian script like their Chinese counterparts.
Doesn't help that the Manchu formed the Chinese meme identity to begin with.
China should just genocide hostile elements, their population is already massive.
>>3264323
>Is China bigger than it really needs to be?
Yes, by 2755 square kilometers.
Why did Italy perform so poorly in ww2? How different would the war have been had they performed better and were a more useful ally to Germany?
>>3264150
Not industrialized enough, both in terms of factories and resources.
Shitty generals.
Shitty ideas when it comes to war (why, why, why invade greece? just why)
>>3264151
>why, why, why invade greece?
I mean why not
If you're gonna be a pastaboo fascist might as well try to go for gold and reclaim ancient glory.

Medieval Europe.
What did more damage to Slavic reputation in the world, German "subhuman" propaganda or Communism?
I think it was a combination of World War II and Cold War that really made entire world hate Slavs.
>>3263779
Why would you hate the Slavs?
God, I want to nail the chick on the right
>>3263785
"Nail"? What, like on a cross? Why?
How could a small island colonize 1/4 of the planet?
All a big country like India had to do was to kick them out or don't even let them in.
Is humanity seriously retarded or were the Brits just diabolical geniuses?
Best naval power for the longest time
>>3263253
Lack of scruples
>>3263253
>How could a small island colonize 1/4 of the planet?
Technology (mostly ivented by continental europeans)
You have remember that most of the British Empire was build by conquering backward tribes in Africa and Asia between 1830 and 1890
Pic related is how the British "empire" looked before 1815
Why did so many Germans decide to kill themselves in the final months of WWII? Thousands upon thousands threw away their lives while under no imminent pressure to do so, apart from intimidation induced by post-war challenges.
I cannot even begin to fathom the collective will required to end so many lives at once.
>>3263123
Option 1: kill yourself
Option 2: get raped and murdered by Soviet soldiers
>>3263123
because g*rmans are obsessed with death.
>>3263123
More proof of a massive (((conspiracy))) against the glorious German people.
Why was black pepper so expensive in Europe?
>>3263060
Nowadays it's used in almost everything, so take a guess,
>>3263070
But why europeans had to import black pepper from Africa and not produce it in their own countries? Did they fear the black farmer?
>>3263060
Pepper was considered exotic and a flavor enhancer. Much like any other things that improved flavor, (ie salts, sugar, lemons, and so on). It cost money to import it and produce it. Black pepper was from India and before the colonial empires of Europe got to setting up trade there, it was nearly unseen in Europe until the late middle ages and up into the renaissance (~1350~1600)
Of course we know Venice was all to familiar with Pepper in their spice trade but the cultivation of pepper was not wide spread at all during the middle ages or there after or before.
To this day south east asia still holds the largest export of pepper and to this day, it's still considered a bit expensive at around 1 us dollar per ounce as opposed to something like sugar which at one time was much higher prices than pepper.
