Would the Nuremberg Trials have fared any better if only
1) they had not created ex post facto laws intended to frame Nazis
2) they had not included criminals like Iona Nikitchenko as trusted judges
3) they had not been allowed to accept hearsay as factual evidence

They should have shot every single high ranking Nazi. It's a shame that people like Papen or Speer were not hanged.

Modern studies conclude men's thoughts, beliefs, and personality comes from their surroundings and traumatic/important events.

So what happened to you that made you hold your philosophy? I'll start

>Manual labor as a job
>Be threatened and disrespected repeatedly
>In general a whiney, selfish, beta
>Meet British entrepreneur, a former boxer who is also sort of an evangelist.

I'm now practicing sports, conducting business, reading the bible (it's a good book), and want to earn enough money to donate to charities for the rest of my life. Never been happier. I'd vote for libertarianism if I wanted to vote.

Bonus points: Describe it.

Perso-Americanism: The identification of American and Iranian interests as being the same, if not overlapping.

Necessitarian Pseudo-Romanism: The acknowledgement that the Holy Roman Empire was none of those things it claimed to be, but also the position that it was necessary in face of external threats facing Europe.

Fun fact: in South East Asia, it's all because of the KMT Army that was in Burma.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuomintang_in_Burma

To Summarize
-1949, Mao and his commies win the Chink Civil War. KMT Nationalists either fall back to Taiwan or surrender to commies.
-Except 2 Armies and a Division, which fled to Burma.
-Burma- recently independent- was fighting to control restive minorities in the North. Suddenly boom, KMT Soldiers, arriving regiment by regiment, into Burma.
-Called the "Lost Army," the KMT soldiers in Burma swore to liberate Yunnan province (province just across the Burmese border) and continue the struggle versus communist China.
-Problem is, they're in neutral Burma. Who wanted nothing to do with the Commiee/Free world bullshit struggle.
-Burma was like: "Dude, kindly fuck off my country, bros."
-KMT Troops was like "How bout you fuck off lel." and subsequently took control of Shan Province. (Northeast Burma. Chinese/Burma/Thai Border)
-To make matters worse: USA, Thailand, and ROC-Taiwan supported the Lost Army and shipped in loads of weapons and supplies.
-Even worse: the Lost Army desperately needed funds to continue their small war. They turned to opium production and trade taking advantage of the biggest Opium producing region in SEA.
-By 1952 there is literally a Narco-Junta state of 10,000 Chinese soldiers ruling over 1 Million people within Burma.
-All because "Fuck Communism."
-These guys launch mad guerilla offensives into China then retreating back to Burma to smoke a bowl and rearm.
-They also fight the Burmese army off and kept 'em busy by giving weapons to the minority rebels they're fighting.
-1960-61: Burma gets super pissed and asks PRChina for a joint op. The Lost Army is destroyed.
-Of the 10,000 soldiers, only 4000 evacuate to Taiwan. The rest of the shattered veterans, with nowhere to run and disillusioned as fucking hell, went to ground in Burma, Laos, and Thailand and became crime bosses with narco-armies.

How the fuck did currency start?

Did someone go around and just start saying "use these coins, it'll be a great idea I promise" or what? I can't imagine an easy way to move from bartering items of relative value to the idea of a currency.

People used clumps of metal for trade for centuries, at some in the 6-7th century BC point states in Aegean started to pay their expenses (mostly mercenaries) with pre-weighted clumps, and they started to put stamps on them to prove the quality and the weight. Early coins were used the same way you would use any piece of metal - you would weight them to make a payment, they even cut them in pieces to balance scales.

I'm confused, /his/.

So we found evidence that paid workers, not slaves, were used to build the pyramids, right? Does this mean that the Egyptians never used slavery, at least not on a large scale? Or did they just not use slaves for the pyramids specifically?

Were the Jews ever their main slave force? Did they ever even have Hebrew slaves?

They used plenty of slaves, but since the construction of the pyramids was a high tech project by the standards of the day, they needed highly trained workers to pull it off.
