>State - institutions created by the nation for purposes
Isn't that a definition for "nation-state", not "state"?

Nation is related to ethnicity, wich in turn is roughly defined as affiliation to a certain human group with a common language and cultural patterns. For example, to actually be 'japanese', I would have to, at the very least, consider myself one and be considered part of that group by the rest of its members.

Country is a geopolitical category. It depends on notions such as sovereignty and law.

State is usually undestood as a form of political institution or government, with specialized division of labor and hierarchical verticality. The term is often applied to non-modern societies with pronounced hierarchies, urbanization and monumentality. The tahuantinsuyo or Inca empire, for instance, is considered a state, despite the fact that nowadays the term itself raises serious methodological concerns.

shit leftover empire

I have noticed a spike in interest, but no WE WUZIN. I think its because Byzantium has been ignored and dismissed throughout most of the history of anglo thought, so they really aren't in the American historical consciousness or cultural lineage. So they're the type of thing only people interested in history will give a shit about so autist into that will become enamored with them

No. It has changed.

The technical expertise remains or has even advanced, the tools and media has improved. If you look, you can find amazing art anywhere but most people get caught up in the notion 'modern art' is shit- despite not even knowing what modern art is.

define "art"
define what it means for art to "decline"

one was addicted to altruism, was a sickly witch that got a rush everytime she held a dying baby in her arms.

the other was all pathos, typical of the time, without any class, a vulgar woman, ofcourse loved by the plebs in a hysterical manner. disgrace to her family. not that that family is worth anything.

both are vile individuals.

one was a sickly albanian hag that secretly baptised hindus on their dying bed pretending she was washing their heads, also refused modern medicine that brought death to hundreds of people.

the other a lowborn promiscous slut that fucked with everything with money and a dick, the moment she got married to prince Charles she told him that she never loved him nor will she ever love him, since she feels no attraction to him whatsoever. had to be killed for bringing enourmous disgrace through her whoring to the royal family.

>>3195606
Both horrid people.

Childhood is idolizing Diana, adulthood is understanding the position she put Charles in and respecting him deeply for how he handled it.

I don't know about his personal character, I simply don't know enough about the man. But I do think an important theme/scenes would be how he tries to handle/implement/justify an increasingly centralized government over the course of the war as well as how he tries to deal with the respective governors of each state during the war.

I find the CSA's balancing act between state and federal rights fascinating. They went into the war due to state rights, yet the war itself necessitated more centralized control. Another idea would be to research how the South's opinion of the man during and after the war. IIRC, Davis was heralded as a hero in the beginning, but by the end, he was seen as just another politician and that General Lee was the south's true hero.

Idiot who got in trouble repeatedly for unnecessarily risky charges and maneuvers during the Civil War

Why did he and his country repeatedly slaughter indians?

You do know that the rifles were inaccurate, correct?

>>3195396
>Just shoot the fucking horses
Oh yeah, with a gun that takes 20-30 seconds per shot if you don't fumble, which isn't accurate, and the shooter has no marksmanship training.

The cavalry would cut them to pieces, so they had to form lines.

Ultimately the reward for the valiant is not riches, nor power, nor even praise.

The true reward comes from making homos really angry.
