And this just from top of my head
year is 1941 signed the beginning of the Anglo-Iraqi war against the Reich inspired government of Rasheed ali Al-Gailani,
a military coup led by the golden square against Ubdul Ilah has installed Rasheed
the lack supplies and training resulted in an Iraqi defeat
followed later by the fall of Berlin.
if Germany provided enough support to secure an Iraqi victory and in return the middle east became a secure outpost to the Africa core
and assuming the Germans won the war
how well can Rasheed install fascism in the Iraqi people an already richly diverse community?
>>3344857
Ba'athism is effectively Arab fascism anyway.
>>3344868
i disagree it was socialism by all definitions
the Ba'athist government was never racist, halabja was no genocide of a race but a show of dominance
at least that was the case here in iraq, saddam to this day have sympathizers on the kurd side
Why did Alcibiades wanted that old ugly cock so much?

There appear to be three main hypothesis I've come across:
1)moral panic
2) conspiracy
3) a suspicion of foreign cultural influence following the Punic wars
4 to stop people misusing the cult for personal gain
There is an interesting theory that the specific restriction that only 3 women and 2 men could gather was because this was below the threshold of witnesses needed to ratify legal documents and some people may have been misusing the cult as a front for killing people after getting written into their wills. Hence the charges of conspiracy and the very specific wording of the law restricting the bacchic rites.

Ignore my number mistake I'll call myself a faggot and be done with it.
The law itself stated that:
>no men should be priests of Bacchus
>no more than 5 people should meet unless explicitly permitted by the praetor urbanus in the presence of at least 100 senators
>revelries shall not take place for longer than 3 market days
If it really was just a moral panic why mass executions?
>>3344728
Think how frothed up people get about modern moral panics. You don't think there'd be people stringing up """"satanic paedophiles"""" or waving J K Rowling's head on a stick if they could get away with it?

I am helping this kid with Latin (easy Denarii) and his book has a whole Lesson about Caracalla.
Literally NOTHING about him being the dick he was. Only material about his baths.
How did he do it?

Hello, Reddit.
>>3344339
Let me guess you've been here what? Maybe a year? A few months? Got tired of your initial little chuckle rush?
Listen here, and I'm saying this for your benefit, I singlehandedly create about 40-70% of the original content on this board on any given day. I'm 5 different namefigs, and I'm maintaining over a dozen different unique [s4s] content projects at the current moment I type this. Meanwhile you probably came to this board for a couple of cheap laughs, have never created an original joke in your life, and now that you've run out of laughs, and being a person with no creativity, you've decided the board is sh*t. So were you an avatarfig hoping you'd get some attention? Maybe you spammed a copypasta or image a few times hoping it'd catch on but gave up when no one would indulge your stupid little non-joke? Have you even ever created an original post yourself or is everything you've ever done already created by someone else and you're just posting it again and again?
Honestly, I'm being nice here and saying this for your sake. The difference between you and me is you come to this board to get a laugh and I come to this board to have fun. You will never ever contribute a single memorable thing here. Literally every poster here is aware of at least one of my OC or one of my names or even just a phrase I created. I've been 4 years and this board hasn't changed one bit other than improved because of my great contributions. You're not getting anything else out of this board, your few months of "fun" here are up.
The only thing left for you now is to constantly complain, but believe me I've seen you over a hundred maybe a thousand times. Posters like you are a dime a dozen. Get bored, complain, leave. Nothing ever changes with you newfigs. The worst part is you probably unironically believe you're accomplishing something here.
TL:DR; Just leave you f*cking newfig

Quayle was a dumbass but I always thought that line was pretty dumb since he was just answering an unrelated question about his youth.

Is there any possible realistic or even slightly unrealistic possible way that the Qing Dynasty could have survived longer?
Nothing? I mean, was revolution inevitable?
Alternate timeline:
>Lord Palmerston never becomes British PM, First Opium War never happens and Britain takes less aggressive policy towards China instead focusing on other problems
>Hong passes his imperial exams, thus never going insane and starting the Taiping rebellion killing 100 million
>The late Qing reforms are able to continue unobstructed and China begins to modernize in a similar way to Meiji era Japan, effectively resisting European imperialism and eventually becoming a world power
>dude just like think about things a lot itll all make sense

I've been a high school teacher for about a decade. Growing very bored with my profession. Dangerously so. And I never felt like it was the best fit for me.
I have a BS in STEM, minor in History, and Masters in Education. Looking back on things I enjoyed in the past, I really loved Sociology classes in college and regret not pursuing that field. Not sure what I could do in the field as a sociologist, but I'm open to ideas
How do into sociology, /his/?
Now that the dust has settled, can we agree that the artistic output of the English Romantics (Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Constable, Turner, Blake, etc) represents the peak of human cultural achievement?
>pronouncing Juan as "jewan"
they represent peak Anglo

As far as high culture goes - I think multiple modernists gave some romantic writers a run for their money like Hamsun, Joyce, Conrad, Faulkner, Eliot and Yeats. (I'll add Welty in here because I think she's undermentioned and underappreciated - but also kind of a modernist in a postmodernist scene).
