Did they fear the three flavored ice cream warrior?

I guess there would be no economic boom without the Ruhr.

Germany is like Persia. No matter how hard they get fucked up, they still rise. Scary.

Bullshit. They were never truly fucked in the first place.

Western powers always help to rebuild them.

They had just finished a 3-decade war with the Byzantines, so they were broke and their military was in shambles. That and Khalid ibn Walid was an amazing general.

While this is true, there is a greater underlying reason for the fall of the Sassanids -- the refusal of the Parthian families to support the Sassanians in 1) defeating the Byzantines under Khosrau II and 2) defeating the Arabs.

Contrary to popular belief, the Sasanians ruled their realm by what we have termed the Sasanian-Parthian confederacy. This was a predominantly decentralized, and dynastic system of government.

had it not been for the Parthian withdrawal from the Sasanian-Parthian confederacy toward the end of the rul of Khosrau II, the Byzantines might very well have become a client state of the Sasanians. The Persians were knocking on Constantinople's door. The Byzantines were set on changing the capital to Carthage, and even Heraclius remained pessimistic of defeating the Sassanids, until the Persian-Pahlav confederacy began to crack.

After 628, with peace signed with the Byzantines, the Sassanians fell into decades of civil war, with great generals from Parthian clans waging war against the Sassanids. The two factions, engrossed in their strife in promoting their own candidates to the throne, were incapable of putting up a united defense against the encroaching Arab armies. The subsequent conquest of the Iranian plateau, moreover, was ultimately successful because powerful Parthian dynastic families abandoned the last Sasanian king, Yazdgerd III, withdrew their support from Sassanian kingship, and made peace with the Arab armies.

Justinian was a little bitch. The Byzantines should have submited to the Sassanids.

Next, an interview with KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov, who was tasked with manipulating the public perception of the UDSSR in western countries. Very interesting IMO, and quite entertaining due to Yuri's sense of humor.

Next, a testimony by a victim of MK ULTRA, the CIA mind control program which included the torture and drugging of civilians. I will get drunk now, and check in periodically to see if there is interest and dump more accordingly.

I have heard that Machu Pichu was some sort of Psychological weapon. Have you heard this/understand it? Or any other pre-modern examples of psychological warfare?

Both the New Economic Policy (after War Communism and pre-Stalin) and the Economic Reform of 1965 were both largely successful, but they were both abandoned for being "not communist", an allegation which was pretty fair since they were both quasi-capitalistic.

Technically the Japs killed more Chinese than Germans killed Jews.

Because the Japanese tried to invade China several times. Because the last Japanese invasion of China was incredibly perfidious and barbaric. Because Japan still doesn't want to admit its crimes to this day. Also, because the Chinese current government hails from the faction that "liberated" the mainland from them, so they have a tradition of struggling against that enemy.

Butthurt that comparitively the nips managed to modernise over night whereas it took them well over a century. Also their goverment shits out aggresively nationalistic propaganda presumably to keep the people foxues outwards rather than inwards. Better to have your people angry at the nips for something they did seventry years ago rather than at their own thought policing government.

They figured that if they supported the government, they could get some concessions after the war. Socialist parties in pretty much every country decided to put aside their problem with their governments to support them in the war effort.

>>3124488
What makes you think socialists can't be patriots?

Daily reminder that the SPD was right about literally everything and would have avoided both world wars.

What? Its really not that uncommon for the sons of monarchs to quell and even commit fratricide to gain the throne/become their father's successors; so this alone is not in any way strange or weird. For my money's worth, I don't think Darius would've intentionally had Cambyses, his cousin, killed. Darius was already likely in line given he was from a cadet branch of the Achaemenid line who served as kavi (kinglets) and acted as the earliest of governors and nobles to swear loyalty to Cyrus during the Persian Revolt and on top of that was the personal squire and attendant/aide. The only issue is if the "Baridya" aka Smerdis was in fact an imposter or the real deal. Since the mainstream view is Cambyses took an injury and died of likely a septic wound, it would naturally fall to Darius to inherit the throne and put the imposter to the sword.

>series of political intrigues within the roman empire lead to a 14 year old Syrian priest landing on the throne
>he doesn't consider his position as emperor to be an impediment to him continuing to be a priest, even though his faith is a foreign one to the itlians
>builds huge new temple in Rome to his god, has the sacred relics of his religion shipped over to Rome and forces all the patricians to partake in its rituals
>spends more time and energy as a priest than he does as an emperor
>since he's 14 he has a voracious and bizarre sexual appetite, while lacking any discretion at all
>goes around the city in cognito prostituting himself
>orders his body guards to fuck him
>tells the roman senate that he wants to become a woman and is applauded for it, offers a fortune to any doctor who can invent a sex-change procedure

>>3124263
Come on, I seriously doubt anyone believes that poor Bardiya/Smerdis was a fake and Darius was the hero who defeated the evil mage imposter. The whole story about Cambyses killing his brother but keeping his death in secret is retarded, if Cambyses wanted to kill his brother he would've found a legal pretext (he's the king) or feigned an accident.

Now, I don't know why would you believe that Darius killed Cambyses.

Some, but not a lot. Peasants would occasionally marry people from low-level nobility (knightly class), but never something like a prince or duke. Commoners in the cities could acquire wealth/status through economic means, but this is more of a high/late medieval development than an early medieval one. Opportunities to save and invest generally got better through the years.

>>3124200
Thanks. Are there any good books about city life in medieval times?
