I know very little of this war and I'm looking for books on the subject. Also feel free to say anything about this war. All I know is the Japanese defeated the Russians, marking the first time a non western power defeated a European one

Probably the biggest problem for Russia during the war was the vast distance that they had to travel in order to just get their fleet to the relevant area. Now you might say, "but Russia is right next to Japan, that's not a long trip." What you must understand is that the Russian fleet is mostly clustered in the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea. Moving battleships from those areas to the Sea of Japan is a labor worthy of Hercules. By the time the ships arrived in the Sea of Japan, the Russian crews were exhausted and demoralized from the long journey. In contrast, the Japanese crews were fresh, since they were fighting just a short distance away from home. The end result was a catastrophic defeat for the Russian navy.

Makes sense, I do remember the greentext of the ineptitude of the Russian Navy
>Wasn't involved with the holocaust due to it not happening yet
>Wasn't involved with the SS
>Wasn't involved with the war crimes in the USSR due to the invasion not happening yet
>Flew to Britain solo in order to try and find peace and end the war
>Allies lock him up without hearing his plead for peace
>Come the Nuremberg trials they try their hardest to give him the death penalty
>end up having to settle for life in prison with no parole instead
>Is in solitary confinement for the duration of his sentence (life)
>The British end up killing him at age 92 anyway and staging a suicide
The one Nazi who actually did nothing wrong got the worst treatment of them all.
He should have died screaming. Fucking g*rms.
>>3375361
He literally wrote Mein Kampf.
He was still second in command and was involved with actually starting the war.
>kill him and make it look like suicide
For what purpose?
Does anyone here have any recommendations on reading regarding the sassanids? I know very little about them, but the idea of a late antiquity persian empire fascinates me. Discussion regarding the near east of late antiquity such as the eastern romans is welcome as well.
is democracy good because it is just?
is democracy good because it is most effective?
is it good?
Government isn't just good or bad, everything has downsides and aspects to be considered when regarding its implementation.
Democracy is favored because it allows every person to voice their concerns, with the downside being, that person may not be qualified to determine what's best for their country. I know this is a pop-philosophy video, but it's a pretty simple explanation:

Indirect democracies are the best democracies imo.
>>3373476
Modern western governments are not democratic. They are broadly oligarchic.
"Indirect democracy" is actually oligarchy.
So long as we teach that democracy was born in Athens, and we study the works of people like Aristotle, it will be so. Calling the West "democratic" is generally a propaganda tool and an act of semantic dishonesty.
>>3373503
Direct democracies are only beneficial in small states, but once your state expands into a nation, you can't have densely populated cities determining how the rest of the less-inhabited regions function. The reason Democracy is so idolized is because, despite its flaws, we just haven't found a better alternative yet.

Is there a bigger meme tank? The Sherman was clearly the best tank in the world even up until 1957
>Can build 7+ for every tank your opponents produce
>Meme tank
I don't understand what you're trying to say.
>>3368177
The Sherman was easier to make and had higher quality control
>>3368069
>muh k/d ratio
More T34 were killed because there were more of them to kill.
AT guns and mines claimed the majority of tank kills on either side.

The Phoenicians were black hamitic people descending from Ham. The Phoenicians were originally the sidonians that inhabited Tyre and Sidon prior to "arab" invasion. These black hamitic sidonians established trade routes with the Greeks all across the mediteranean. The black Phoenicians are responsible for creating the "modern" day "alpha-bet" that the greeks later borrowed. The term "Phoenician" was originally given to the "sidonians" by the Greeks. Queen Jezebel, Hannibal Barca, and Queen Dido of Carthage all belonged to the black sidonian "Phoenician" nations.

Fuck you, they were semitic and not black

U don't know what you're talking about. Race is very important. Especially when you discuss history. People need know why the BLACK people that were running the world from the seat of Egypt/Kemet have been replaced by fake Arabs and white folks. It's important because the masses of black people in today's society who are mentally fuckin dead need to know their history. I'm fuckin sick of you heal the world ass muthafuckaz who don't wanna deal with race. Everything is impacted by race in today's society. They don't wanna stress race cuz they don't wanna talk about how those BLACK Egyptians put fear in them white boys hearts when they finally stopped crawling around on all fours and tryina conquer. So race was clearly important to the "Egyptians." They made a point to paint their fuckin deities BLACK. And I mean fuckin Charcoal BLACK. Ptah, Ausar, the list goes on for days. It must've been pretty important to them seeing as how they used terms such as Sutek which means BLACK POWER. Better wake yo ass up and stop with that that together we can make a change bullshit frame of reference. The fuck? This is what happens when you don't know the truth about history. You ask dumb ass questions like why is race important. Just ask any real nigga out here on these streets and they'll tell you how important race is. Get it together. SMDH.
Any law/international relations students here?
Can a diplomat in another country do things that are illegal in his home country? For example, gambling is illegal here in Brazil, but if I'm Brazil's ambassador to the US, can I gamble in Vegas to my heart's content?
Yes, extraterritoriality is not an AOE around your person, it only applies within the embassy itself
Also the extraterritoriality is a presumption so you are not subject to foreign taxes and such trivialities. Definitely not a do-everything card
