Apparently people said they lived pretty well in there despite it being a well known hideout for criminals. Maybe the criminals were afraid the citizens would rat them out so they stuck to themselves. I can't believe authorities in china being anything else than ruthless. Everyone also had mail delivered to their doorstep apparently. Must have been quite a feat to achieve. I wish the hadn't torn it down that place would've been an urban exploration heaven, also just the fact that it's judge dredd irl.

You start with Wikipedia for an outline. Then you grab and read a book.

wikipedia articles aren't exactly a good read

>>3161375
Wiki will only give you a basic overview. Reading an actual book is how you get deeper knowledge. Although this also makes browsing here a more frustrating experience because you see right through BS.

Armenia

>>3161354
Yes, but Armenia ceased to exist in 428 AD as it was absorbed by Parthia and Rome yet hostilities continued. Most notibly with Khosrau I being a thorn in Justinian's side and the Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628 that all but crippled both states only to maintain a status quo half a century later.

Roman didn't play nice with anybody until they were conquered.

Trade languages.

And intrepreters.

I know that when the Portuguese first came into India they communicated using arab, that was kind of a lingua franca in that region in the 1500s.

But about when they and the spanish first came to America I have no idea, besides knowing that some native women married the spanish and became guides and translators for them.

Like stated before, common languages have existed since we learned to write things down. Back then though people tended to communicate a bit more with this. It accurately conveyed all of your desires and intention no matter what language you spoke.

I thought that was a Roman thing for women. They had upper arm bracelets. Also Indian and Middle East.
Only East Asian bracelet trend I can think of is the Buddhist beads. It seems pic related was just a stylized choice that the inventors wanted to make for their show.

the water nations tribes are inuits, the earth kingdom is a mix of chinese, south east asian, and middle easterners because of the vast expanse of the empire, the fire nation is japan.

In that case, what is the airbender culture based on?

Fuck you
My dad escaped two weeks before the soviet invasion
They had a new code word every night, something like "the people's party" and if he didn't say it he'd get shot
The only reason he had the code was because he was wealthy

I don't hate the middle eastern people, but you guys have been continuously under the boot of foreign powers for over a century. You claim to hate your oppressor so you side with another one, then claim to be oppressed by them. When you do get a short window of independence you just terrorize your own people and maintain outdated tribalism. It has gotten to the point where instead of banding together and fighting as a people for what you believe in like has been done in the West and the far East you submit to powers or run away. I know its easy to say from the sidelines with nothing on the line. But my ancestors have fought in revolutions and multiple wars. Tom Petty's song has never had more direct sense than it does today. "You don't have to be a refugee, everyone has had to fight to be free." Its your own fault for not being able to unify despite having such a shared culture and not being able to defend you territory.
Being butthurt postdomination is not a badge of honor.

I am broadly judging from a historian's perspective. I know there are people there trying to do what I just described.

>>3161027
Depends.

What skills do you acquire from luck?

I'm Serbian and yes it's the same authors, Le Goff, Bloch, Duby, Braudel... Frenchmen all the way. Our Early Modern course professor also made us read quite a lot of Foucalt (notably Madness and Civilization).

One of the subjects that is particulary well studied here is Byzantology. George Ostrogorsky is an absolute must-read for anything Byzantine-related, you literally cannot pass without knowing him cover to cover. I'd also pick Dimitry Obolensky and his masterpiece The Byzantine Commonwealth. Russian Byzantology is generally top-tier, would recommend Russian authors to anyone who wants to study Byzantines.

We've also read a lot from J.B. Bury regarding ancient Greece and Rome.

>>3161085
We pass hastily by the Byzantine Empire and Rashidun Caliphate (which we call Islamic State) in Medieval History. Mainly, we focus on Runciman while studying the Byzantine Empire. What about serbian history? Any historian that is treated as a must-read?

>>3161085
Also, in Early modern History we see Tzvetan Todorov, Carlo Ginzburg and Pierre Chaunu. Most of Early Modern Historyy we focus on America and Brazil, apart from Europe.

Nerds who were usually nobles

Not really, back then monks and orher Holy virgins were respected

>Was fascism inspired by Greco-Roman culture?
Nah surely it was the other way around.

I have a strong suspicion you have no idea what fascism is OP.

Nah, it was proto-communist.

Childhood is when you go with Sparta. Adult is when you dig with Athens.

Well, it is a cruel repression of instincts. Besides this, sexual incompatibility is an issue that can lead to extramarital affairs, so it's better to "check" it first.

>>3160690
People who marry virgin are less likely to cheat or divorce.
It also can lead you to choosing your "partner for life" not very wisely...

>repression of one's instincts
Morals and civilization are in large parts about controlling your instincts. Having you use your rationality in order to control your desires and instincts is very important for a happy life and for you to become a better citizen.

>sexual incompatibility is an issue that can lead to extramarital affairs, so it's better to "check" it first.

Caring this much about sexual pleasure leads to extramarital affairs... And divorces. You are a slave to your base desires when you do that. And like I said before, people who are virgin before marrying tend to have more stable marriages.

>It also can lead you to choosing your "partner for life" not very wisely...
By this, I meant that sleeping with people before marrying can lead you to choosing your partner badly.

Yes he was.
Voltaire would love to see a country built on the ideals of enlightenment, he might be sceptical about democracy though.
