I don't know much about early European history but aren't most countries and cultures in Europe tied to the native ethnicities?

For example, France is France because of the French, Germany is Germany because of Germans, Sweden is Swedish because of the Swedes etc.

Burgundy is still under occupation to this day.

>>3068182
Well its not that simple in a way the french became french because they were living in France. There used to be many more cultures especially in southern France.

He was Sephardic. That's why he's based. The Ashkenazi Jews are the degenerate one. Another based Moroccan-Sephardic Jew:

>some sort of Nazi-like racist organization
Well, If you fight for Slavery that is what you are, no matter the occasional Jew you got.

>>3068132

>they had a jew, so the fact that they had slavery based entirly around racist ideals is moot!

God got lazy and subcontracted a lot of design work. Also, this is not /his/torical enough.

You mean mostly a bunch of useless propaganda?

They feared the Etruscan warrior.

You might be onto something. They didn't colonize Anatolia either. Anatolians were kryptonite of the Semite?

because to know how depth works you have to know how light works and we didn't know that until Arabs discovered it

Here's a little experiment for you since you seem to lack first hand experience with the arts. Take some Play-Doh and attempt to make a representation of a human head, now take done crayons and try to do the same thing.
We live in a three dimensional reality, so representing the world we experience as such comes a little easier. You are able to walk around a sculpture, and a model, and observe/compare things like depth first hand. Drawing and painting are two dimensional abstractions from a three dimensional world, they're inherently more difficult, and it's nothing short of a miracle that some artists managed to do so with accuracy. Like anything else done my mankind, once it had been done successfully once or twice, people learned from the past greats through imitation or teaching.

The classical Greeks were fairly close to the early Renaissance masters, and that's without the understanding of true perspective and with much shittier tools.
Here's a mosaic copy of a 5th century BC painting by Zeuxis - almost 2000 goddamn years before the Renaissance. Imagine how much better the original would have been without the limitations mosaics force. On top of that, Zeuxis wasn't even the best painter:
>According to the Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder, Zeuxis and his contemporary Parrhasius (of Ephesus and later Athens) staged a contest to determine the greater artist. When Zeuxis unveiled his painting of grapes, they appeared so real that birds flew down to peck at them. But when Parrhasius, whose painting was concealed behind a curtain, asked Zeuxis to pull aside that curtain, the curtain itself turned out to be a painted illusion. Parrhasius won, and Zeuxis said, "I have deceived the birds, but Parrhasius has deceived Zeuxis."

Sea-jewry, and they sacked Constantinople, completely crippling the only power holding back the Muslim hordes.

I don't want to defend the 13th-century Byzantines because they were super corrupt, but Venice sacking Constantinople and weakening them is what allowed the Ottomans to finally break into Europe proper.

Even after the Greeks took the city back, it never fully recovered.

western europe and its descendants owe a lot to them.

racism

Cold war between Germany and USA, bigger Germany and nothing much.

Well, probably we would be talking about 4th world countries instead of 3rd ones, since NatSoc countries would be a thing.

>>3067214
So it might end up like the actual Cold War with a chance of one power experience economic collapse? Probably the US

>D-Day landing failed and Nazi Germany came out victorious
After Kursk there was virtually no possibility for German victory.

Even if D-Day failed the Soviets would've still fucked up Germans with Bagration and maybe even pushed all the way towards France or something.
>armistice
Separate peace was never an option for the Allies. Their goal was unconditional surrender all along.

that ain't no ruler, son, that's Napoleon

Yeah pointlessly dying in Russia is so perfect

Not sure if it fits, but many of the castles still standing that are shown to tourists were either built or rebuilt in the 18 or 19th century (see Gothic Revival).
Many people who see pictures of these just assume they are centuries old.

Theres a castle in Wales which was built in the 1800s by some ultra rich guy. I used to think it had been there for years.

More recently and youth: absolutely nothing. Many will not even know what Rome is aside from the city itself
