That picture isn't very accurate. Didn't Cuba have a sizeable Euro-descended population at some point?

Spaniards are niggers.

>Why should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our Settlements and, by herding together, establish their Language and Manners, to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs any more than they can acquire our Complexion?

>Which leads me to add one Remark, that the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny; Asia chiefly tawny; America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians, and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who, with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we, in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? Why increase the Sons of Africa, by planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind.

why is he so fucking overrated?

It's possible that he never wrote the plays at all, considering that he was allegedly barely literate and came from a lower-class background (giving him little time to study the works that he based his plays on). I'm not saying it's impossible that he was a genius, but maybe somebody else, a nobleman, wrote the plays and simply used Shakespeare as a front, since at the time plays were considered low-class (which is part of the reason why Shakespeare's works stood out so strongly).

Atlantis was not a real place.

Atlantis was the Bronze Age civilization on Crete. It "sunk" when a massive volcano on crete erupted 4000 years ago. Plato exaggerated.

Atlantis didn't exist. Any explanations (like this one: >>3103197) are just ad hoc hypotheses people came up with because they really want Plato's obviously fictional allegory to be real.

Most were nothing like that. They simply lacked the calories to get that big. Some among the weltheir classes could become big, but nothing like that scuplture.

That's a depiction of Hercules. It's purposefully idealistic. Many Greeks were quite fit, especially the nobility, because gymnasium was pretty much a required activity.

Did the fucking canadian really write his name on the wrong line? That's some high level spaghetti dropping for sure.

Indeed he did, the Japanese protested at having to sign such a muddied document, delaying the proceedings, so one of the military reps crossed out all the affected names and penciled in the correct ones, his signature is at each correction.

The document was then given back to the Japanese to sign.

In this case it sounds like a solid humiliation for the surrenderies, when the victors don't give a fuck like this.

International recognition/perception.

Jealousy/nationalism/ignorance/etc all come together too

It might be the fact that Hinduism and Buddhism stole alot from each other and acknowledging this hurts them.

They went as far as saying Buddha was one of their avatars. The thing about polytheism is that you catch them all.

This is true friend. The physical evidence is all over the place. Buddha was black just like Jesus was.

>yfw the VC chose and won most of the individual engagements

Just because they were rarely large enough to be called battles, just because the VC lost more men than the US, doesn't mean they weren't winning.

Any recommendations on books about Rome. I've heard from multiple people that Mary Beards "SPQR" is a meme book.

Any suggestions for a book or books that detail the battles of WWII? I've been reading pic related and it's quite interesting, basically a combat history of WWI.
