Not as heavy as you may think.

The Elves are almost completely based on Irish mythology in terms of language and their culture.

The Skelligers are Norse and Irish.

The North is broadly slavic, with many of the Monsters being based on slavic legendary creatures. But overall the North is indeed pretty slavic.

I'm on the same way as you. Though I'm more into buddhism.

Thread has a link about westerners moving there.

Is relatively easy. It's cheap to settle, working being a foreigner isn't difficult. Nepal is a nice place as well and seems a bit calmer. There's a series of videos of an american expat couple living there.

The Austrian empire was basically a Frankenstein's monster of ethnic groups and peoples, and brother, it was rotting.

>Lose army protecting Germany from Russians
>DUDE sick man!
>LMAO ethnic tension!


And no they did not start WW1, they invaded Serbia not Belgium. It was also Germany that declared war on France and Russia not Austria.

Was Constantine really a Christian, or just an opportunist?

>>3157649
Why not both? He certainly wasn't a particularly principled Christian. He had himself proclaimed the equal of the twelve apostles on his death.

>>3157649
Like most people of his time he didnt get baptized until he was near death, after which he lived much like a monk until the end.

Before that he killed anyone who stood in his way, including family.

That or sacrifice themselves for the greater good.

Yes.

Elphinstone was an old idiot too far entrenched in his views to make something useful. He had all the warning signs to realize that leaving was a bad idea and yet he still did it anyway. To be fair, you can't lay all the blame on him. The EIC leaders did not listen to Alexander Burnes, an experienced diplomat in Afghanistan affairs, about who they should support for power in Afghanistan. Dost Mohammed would likely have been the better choice but the EIC continued to support the useless and horribly cruel drunkard Shah Shujah. The EIC also ignored warnings from Burnes that the British Garrison in Kabul was beginning to bother the native people there. This would prove fatal for Burnes as his embassy was stormed and he was killed.

All in all this whole thing was rife with mismanagement and it's just more proof that the EIC was run by incompetent fools. The British in India finally started to act in a more competent manner following the mutiny of 1857.

No problem senpai.

China has a fascinating history. That book itself doesn't go super in-depth but it's useful for covering a large portion of history until near contemporary era and is well written.

I'll get shit for this, but if you go on the AskHistorians subreddit the sidebar has a large list of books vetted by scholars and historians, you'll find a large list of ones on the various eras if you want to go further in a specific era or study.

You've either lived in the same little rural town your whole life or you're underage. Either way, there is so much more to think about when you move beyond the size of the place your moving too. Large cities usually have more economic opportunities and things to do, people to see, in general. Does this mean smaller areas don't have their advantages too? Of course not. Also, this is not history and calling it humanities is a stretch by far considering the sociological implications. >>>/sci/

>Human geography is not /his/
Also, nice assumptions there.

>>3157468
-Jobs
-Easy access to conveniences (24 hour stores, etc.) - which is especially good if you don't like driving
-Proximity of millions of potential mating partners
-City people tend to be more socially tolerant, which is good if you're gay, a minority, etc.
-Some people like anonymity... living in a small town where everybody knows everybody has an upside but also a downside (gossip, judgmental people can have more influence, etc.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanj_Rebellion
>The Zanj Rebellion was a major uprising against the Abbasid Caliphate, which took place from 869 until 883. Begun near the city of Basra in present-day southern Iraq and led by one 'Ali ibn Muhammad, the insurrection is traditionally believed to have involved some enslaved Bantu-speaking people (Zanj) who had originally been captured from the coast of East Africa and transported to the Middle East.[3] It grew to involve many slaves and free men from several regions of the Caliphate, and claimed tens of thousands of lives before it was finally defeated.
>Several Muslim historians, such as al-Tabari and al-Mas'udi, consider the Zanj revolt to be one of the "most vicious and brutal uprisings" of the many disturbances that plagued the Abbasid central government.[4] Modern scholars have characterized the conflict as being "one of the bloodiest and most destructive rebellions which the history of Western Asia records,"[5] while at the same time praising its coverage as being among the "most fully and extensively described campaign[s] in the whole of early Islamic historical writing."

Good point.

The US was never christian in the first place. There were a few protestant heretics, but christianity has never been a thing there.

>>3157426
It's not, you're importing Catholics by the boatload.
Still better than importing Muslims like Europe is.

>>3157434
>>3157437
Why does every christian related thread turn in to Proestants and Catholics bashing each other? Even the Greeks are better mannered than us by now.

in former Yugoslavia Kosovo was most underdeveloped. So Tito imported cheap work force from albania. They rebuild Pristina and suddenly monkey brain kicks in and logic of "if i built it its mine" so they brought their friends with them since Yugoslavia > Albania.

Bring the good old bugle, boys, we'll sing another song.Sing it with a spirit that will start the world along.Sing it as we used to sing it, 50,000 strong. While we were marching through Georgia.

Chorus
Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea
While we were marching through Georgia.

How the darkeys shouted when they heard the joyful sound. How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found.How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground.While we were marching through Georgia.

Yes and there were Union men who wept with joyful tears,
When they saw the honored flag they had not seen for years;
Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth in cheers,
While we were marching through Georgia.

"Sherman's dashing Yankee boys will never reach the coast!"
So the saucy rebels said and 'twas a handsome boast
Had they not forgot, alas! to reckon with the Host
While we were marching through Georgia.

So we made a thoroughfare for freedom and her train,
Sixty miles in latitude, three hundred to the main;
Treason fled before us, for resistance was in vain
While we were marching through Georgia.

I wish I was OP

No joke lads, nice wife-tier girls older than 20 who aren't easy to fugg are impressed by things like that. History, any kind of research, any kind of writing (even if it's fucking Harry Potter furry futa), and ESPECIALLY building/fixing things as a hobby will turn them on more than some loser who plays video games in his free time.

Younger girls and roasties tend to be less impressed, but it's happened before.
