You do realize that some of the Dutch municipalities included in your pic didn't exist until they were poldered in in the 20th century Sven?

did he do anything but die?
>>3396896
Had an impressive little state going, centralized his realm, probably would have been named "King of Burgundy" by the HRE and forged the Netherlands into a realm more capable of dealing with French advancement ... if he didn't die. First thing his daughter did was reverse all his changes and turn her hand in marriage into a crisis for France that left a permanent mark of the French psyche.

still as fabulous
right before he had his head crushed by a halberd
>>3396896
He was aggressive as fuck and annexed counties and duchies left and right. He was Jaime Lannister of Game of Thrones as a ruler. He found his match in the French King though.
When did you realize french natives are black who have slowly become a minority because of white immigrants?
It's europe's turn to get blacked.

USSR did nothing wrong
USSR was a totalitarian, genocidal state that the world is better off without, like Nazi Germany.
Based neoliberalism rocks.
Well, the sheer butthurt it's mere existence caused turned the US into a schizophrenic genocidal empire, so it must have been doing a few things right.

Other than one of the most failed ideology in the history of mankind
Why was it bad for germany to take german land but ok for polan to take polan clay and hungary to take hungary land ?
>>3396535
because germany can get stronger

Zaolzie was illegally annexed by Czechoslovakia when Poland was severily losing its war with Bolshevik Russia, because Czechs didnt expect Poles to actually launch counterinvasion and win the war.
Czechia should've returned Zaolzie in 1921 in the first place desu.

>who cares about zaolzie
>who cares about ruthenia
The Sudetenland was the only natural czech defense against Germany. Without it, they were basically already invaded.
What are some history memes you hate?
I'll start:
>Monroe doctrine was a real thing
>South America somehow owes its indepence to the US
When in reality:
>USA was unable to project power beyond the Caribbean until WW2
>The Royal Navy, not the US, controlled the seas during the 19th and early 20th century
>In practice it was the British who enforced the Monroe Doctrine when it suited them
>Latin American States had to fend off for themselves against European invasions numerous times (French intervention in Mexico, British seizure of Belice or the Falklands, Anglo-French blockade of Argentina, British Guayana-Venezuela dispute, etc)
Education is a system of imposed ignorance.
The mass media serve as a system for communicating messages and symbols to the general populace. It is their function to amuse, entertain, and inform, and to inculcate individuals with the values, beliefs, and codes of behavior that will integrate them into the institutional structures of the larger society. In a world of concentrated wealth and major conflicts of class interest, to fulfil this role requires systematic propaganda.
The beauty of the system, however, is that such dissent and inconvenient information are kept within bounds and at the margins, so that while their presence shows that the system is not monolithic, they are not large enough to interfere unduly with the domination of the official agenda.

The Monroe Doctrine was a statement of intent, not an ironclad policy. Yes there were numerous 'breaches' of the Doctrine that America was either or both unable or unwilling to address, but that doesn't make the Monroe Doctrine worthless. It clarified America's foreign policy position.
Non-Colonization by European powers on the free parts of the American Continent.
The Non-Interference principle that America sought not to interfere in European Affairs, but by the same token would interpret attempts by Europeans to interfere in the free and independent parts of the American Continent as 'dangerous to our peace and safety'.
Which isn't the same as saying "We will stop every attempt to do so" or even saying that America could. But that doesn't mean it was entirely a barren gesture it was the platform from which the American state department would operate.
Why do people say Finland is Scandinavian when clearly it's Baltic?
>>3396386
Finns don't have much to do with Balts after 1000 BC. Germanic influence is newer. Finland is neither though.
>>3396400
There's genetic continuity between Finns and Balts though, Germanic influence on the Finnish gene pool is minimal. Also historically and geopolitically Finland and Baltics have a lot more in common with each other.
>>3396409
You seriously telling me they historically have more in common with any Baltic state than Sweden?
wtf I hate Germany now
>>3396310
Whats this anon
>>3396316
Basically draws the conclusion that the Nazis were the natural conclusion to all of German history and culture and therefore, not only certain figures but rather all Germans and Germany itself is responsible for the Nazis crimes.
>>3397293
Well seeing Germany under Merkel is bringing Europe to the brink of destruction for the umpteeth time, he might have a point.

Would he have won if he attacked Rome?
>>3395929
No. They weren't equipped for a siege of Rome.
>>3395929
Assuming you mean right after Cannae, no. He couldn't win attacking the much less defended town of Nola.
>>3395929
Probably not. Carthage wasn't well-equipped to lay sieges.

Isn't the west now in a nihilistic state where It can't assert objective measures of beauty and morality?
How can I compete with other cultures when they don't have such self defeating problems?
"Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable. 1. Without government, as among our Indians. 2. Under governments wherein the will of every one has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states in a great one. 3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics. To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen. It is a government of wolves over sheep. It is a problem, not clear in my mind, that the 1st. condition is not the best. But I believe it to be inconsistent with any great degree of population. The second state has a great deal of good in it. The mass of mankind under that enjoys a precious degree of liberty and happiness. It has it’s evils too: the principal of which is the turbulence to which it is subject. But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.1 Unsuccesful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. It is a medecine necessary for the sound health of government." - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, Paris, January 30, 17872

Transylvania. Are the Vlach in Transylvanian Romanized Dacians or are they migrating Latin-speakers from the south?
Who does Dracula land belong to?
It's controversial.
Whatever the answer might be, it belongs to Romania now. No amount of bickering and name-calling will change this.
There will be a lot of " WE WUZ ROMANS" and "THERE WUZ NOONE HERE WHEN WE INVADED FROM THE PUSZTA". It's all useless shitflinging that will change nothing now.
