From a geopolitic point of view, not much - British rule of the seas was hardly affected and India was gradually becoming the "Jewel in the Crown anyways". It was like the Eastern Roman Empire being disconnected from its Western half - the wealth was in the East anyways.

From a romantic nationalist point of view, it was the greatest racial tragedy of all time - a nation of Englishmen cleaved apart for a fucking tea tax.

>>3163305
Not much, the markets were small at the time. Fur trade may have taken a hit but I don't know. The sugar cash-cropping ventures in the Carribean were much more valuable to the markets and merchant-banking houses in London.

>>3163377
Tobacco trade may have been disrupted for a time too.

I can't speak with any certainty for Scotland but tattooing is very new to Ireland, it's only been around here for a hundred years or so.

St Isidore of Seville wrote
>"The Scots derive their name in their own language from their painted bodies, because these are marked with various designs by being pricked with iron needles with ink on them"
Scots being what the Irish were called at the time, but Isidore seems to have got it wrong. The Irish referred to themselves as both Gael and Féni. "Gael" means "wild one" and "Féni" means "free man", nothing to do with tattoos.

Moreover there aren't any artistic depictions of pre-modern Irish people with tattoos, either by the Irish themselves or by foreign observers.

The thing about the Middle East (and especially the Levant) is that anyone can say they are anything and be right because the place is so mixed up. A Bedouin can say he is Ancient Egyptian. An Iraqi Arab can say he is actually Chaldean. So yes he really is an "Aramean" but by identifying as such, all he does is create division in the unified Arab nation which no-one other than the imperialist Persians and wh*tes benefits from. I'm glad Lebanese have begun to understand this. Praises be to Allah and all our Christian Arab brothers

>A Bedouin can say he is Ancient Egyptian.
No he can't.
>An Iraqi Arab can say he is actually Chaldean.
No he can't.
>all he does is create division in the unified Arab nation
The idea of an Arab people is a very recent invention that seeks to dominate and destroy any non-Arab people or culture. Sorry Abdul, but your time is up. You aren't gonna deny the existence of the people you have conquered for over a thousand years.
>Praises be to Allah and all our Christian Arab brothers
The only 'Christian Arabs' that exist are in the Arabian Peninsula or descend from Arab tribes that adapted Christianity. Copts aren't Arabs. Assyrians aren't Arabs. Mandaeans aren't Arabs. Samaritans aren't Arabs.

>>3163397
>No he can't.

I disagree. Those people are all genetically very similar as recent studies proved. It is completely arbitrary like the Serbs being "totally different" from Bosnians, the "huge difference" between Danes and Swedes etc. etc. You just hate Muslims and think Islam creates different races from among the people who adopt it.

>The idea of an Arab people is a very recent invention that seeks to dominate and destroy any non-Arab people or culture. Sorry Abdul, but your time is up. You aren't gonna deny the existence of the people you have conquered for over a thousand years.

lol, 99% of the Middle East only speaks Arabic and fringe nationalists won't change that. It is a unifying identity. You hate it because you hate the Arab resistance against the Rawafid and the West. When the lingua franca was Greek and everyone said they were Hellenes (tuh!) that was okay, right? Typical white people and their selective outrage

>The only 'Christian Arabs' that exist are in the Arabian Peninsula or descend from Arab tribes that adapted Christianity. Copts aren't Arabs. Assyrians aren't Arabs. Mandaeans aren't Arabs. Samaritans aren't Arabs.

More white ignorance. Most Arabs in the Arabian peninsula are Adnan or Arabized Arabs. They were not originally Arabs either. The original racial Arabs (Qahtan) lived in Yemen where their identity spread to the Hejaz, who then spread it to the rest of the Arab world. Arab as I remind you is an identity in 99.99999% of cases, race. Anyone can adopt it if they wish. Copts are almost indistinguishable from other Arabs Egyptians and Sudanese. Assyrians are just Armenians, and are irrelevant. Besides many Assyrians adopted Arab over the centuries and worked in the Baath party at high levels. Mandaens and Samaritans are as irrelevant as you can possibly get, and live in the Zionist entity or in their backward distant villages anyways

The regime was friendly to them and they had bigger fish to fry. It's not unreasonable to assume they would have been attacked had the Soviet Union fallen, just like the Nazis were planning to invade Switzerland but never got around to it.

>Was the static, stalemated nature of WW1 trench warfare inevitable given the technology and logistics of the time
You can add in Stormtrooper tactics but that's about it. Primarily yes.

The war was only static in theaters where an unbroken line of men could be assembled between two impassable obstacles. The war in the Eastern Europe was fluid with huge tracts of land being traded in engagements. Same with the war in the Middle East. In the vast interior of Germany's African colonies it was guerilla tactics that reigned.

The western front was the exception, not the rule.

>>3162980
I don't know, even the naval theater tended to be a see-saw. You had battles like Jutland where there was no agreement on who actually won.

well the guy who came up with the theory is american so it's pretty much worthless

>>3162840
it describes a truth that is relative, so it's imperfect

the highest truth is absolute just like the highest world is absolute

>>3162866
No, it describes a metaphysical account of reality that is indexical.

It was literally a suicide mission

Because what actually happened simply did not compute in his head. It could not be. He had nowhere to go but fantasy and his people were happy to participate.

Ass or grass

Why didn't the mongols conquer india? Did they fear the poo warrior?

I believe most steppe peoples were either confederates in a pan-steppe tribe like the Huns or Genghis Khans mongols or fuckhuge groups of people migrating because of other steppe people

>Why not the 17th or 18th century
To many diseases which could kill horses and poorer equipment for exploring and dealing with natives (guns were a big part of subduing the natives especially the maxum gun) and the Ottomans also had a presence in the North.

>What was so profitable in keeping control despite slavery being illegal
Resources and strategic locations for refuelling or moving around the world or lucrative trade routes. Also many nations did not profit from their colonies as they often put in much more then what they actually got out

>Where there actual wars fought there
Boer Wars
Mau Mau rebellion
German East Africa company wars in Tanzania
Rif War
Various other rebellions

>>3162501
north africa was dominated by muslim slavers and competent ottomans who were relatively modern, technologically.
sub-saharan africa has disease up the ass and many had been traded guns in exchange for slaves much earlier.
additionally the riches of africa weren't as apparent or of use; coal, oil, rubber, deep-mining for industrial minerals weren't as needed or were otherwise useless until the 19th century.

What? Colony budgets were rock bottom as fuck.
