Extreme Wewuzism
Lets share some of the more unique examples of Wewuzism.
I'll start.
This website claims that the Swedish people are the descendants of the ancient Thracians.

This fellow here claims that the Franks where not of germanic origin, but of Trojan-Italo-Pannonian heritage and have always been French!

Why do Wewuz claims always involve the Trojans.
Even the Romans fucking did it.

Since the board is flooded with racist africa threads, let's try and have a normal discussion about african cultures and civilizations, here are a few things i know about Africa (not my field of study but African history is something i read about a lot).
Africa and its abundance of resources:
>Africa has had a long history in trading it's resources, the biggest African empires (Mali and Ghana) where concentrated around the Ghana lake (great for agriculture) but also the west african gold fields. The need for centralizing the Gold trade is what made these multi-etnic empires possible.
>The swahilli city states in east africa also traded in gold, salt and ivory. A lot of states around the eastcoast of Africa where very active in indian ocean trade routes and with that expanded the old world web.
African climate and development.
>most of the bigger states in africa developped around the Sahel region, this is the best region in Africa for Agriculture (agriculture was even invented in this region without connection to other agricultural cultures)
>Africa is a huge continent so the climate differs enormously, still a lot of africa has a tropical climate. A climate in which agriculture, sometimes just isn't the best option. A lot of African societies stayed hunter gatherers until European discovery, (although we know of some tropical african states.)
Why did africa develop slower than states in eurasia?
>Because most of africa was cut from eurasia by the Sahara, the biggest empires we know where the ones connected to eurasia:
>The aksumite empire at it's time was a major superpower. Aksum was located in a major location for trade between the roman empire and india. -> connected through the Nile and the Red sea
>The Mali empire Best known for its ruler mansa musa who single handedly caused inflation in the mideterranean goldtrade on his pilgrimmage to mecca. -> connected via the berbers
>The Ghana empire, a huge empire in Roman and medieval times -> also the berbers

Cont
African culture and literary tradition
>African culture consists mostly of oral traditoins some of which are amazingly complex and have strong overlying themes that you don't often find in western literature
>favourite of mine would be the epic of sundiate which also has historical value because it tells us of an alexander-like figure who founded the mali empire on the ruins of the Ghana empire
African history itself:
>Studying African history is not that popular and pretty hard, there is an amazing lack of written sources but that also means there is still A LOT to discover.
>in current Africa there are not a lot of historians, so we do not have a lot of local voices to hear or give an opinion.
What do you know about the history of African cultures?
>Are there parallels to eurasian cultures?
>Do you know of intresting African literary traditions, Figures or states?
>Why do you think a lot of Africa adopted writing so late
>Is there someone with a degree on African history on /his/?

The game wasn't worth the candle. Commitment of the sort of force to completely subdue North Korea after the Chinese entered the war threatened to drag the Soviets in openly ,and to turn the whole thing into WW3. Winning Korea would be nice, but it wasn't worth that kind of cost.

Nobody wanted to escalate it into WWIII, wanting to contain it in the Korean peninsula.

I have been always thought that in medieval, people got power by being borned into the noble family and in capitalism by being rich. But it seems like that being rich was always more than being noble.

for various reasons feudalism couldnt or wouldnt go trought the stages of accumulation and turn the capital into productive force the way urban craftsmen and traders did, thats why they got rid of feudalism and pauperised the pesantry till they all came to the urban centers to slave away for capitalism, feudalism wanted them stuck digging dirt to just recapitulate the same cicle each year without further complications
'mercantilism' and 'absolutism' were attempts to have a centrally planned state under a monarchy, a way to avoid revolution

muh freedoms. In capitalism you can be born poor and become rich. You probably won't, but if you work hard you still have a good chance of significantly increasing your family's wealth.

Why and when did people start to use the cross to represent Christianity when the fish was the original symbol

>When
Around the time the Roman Empire stopped using crucifixion as a punishment for rebels and other scum
>Why?
Because the association with crucifixion for most people until Constantine abolished it was with criminals and other scum. Then you need a bit of time for the association to fade.

Just finished reading this. Impressive how a shitty destitute country managed to become a considerable power in a single generation just through the ambition of a few clever men. The moment they were replaced it all went to shit.

I'm reading it right now. I'm Brazilian and we were taught in school that Vasco da Gama and Cabral were pioneering heroes, but it turns out that they were just complete thugs bullying Indians and Africans into "friendship," alliances, and trade.
So this must be how Americans must feel about Columbus when they find out how bad he really was.
>>
>>3184901
Columbus isn't really like some American folk hero, Italian-Americans tried for a while to paint him that way - even pushing for the Columbus day holiday.
Even in elementary school they tell you more or less the true story, and its not as much as a common misconception as it used to be.
