For what reason was FDR considered a good President when it came to court appointments?
I thought this guy tried to stack the SCOTUS

Because to the bias of the people doing the research, his stacking the courts was good and for the betterment of mankind. However, if someone like Regan or Bush had done the same thing, my God, they wouldn't even be in the rankings of best president and would be in their own category of "Constitutional dictator."
I actually think it might be the nature of the justices he appointed, like the popular Robert H. Jackson, rather than stacking the court. Stacking the court may be reflected in his 16 rank for integrity, along with running the extra two terms and jeopardizing the American 2 term unwritten rule (prior to that).
I think the general popularity of FDR comes from when he came to power, how long he kept power, and the situations he dealt with during his time. Whether or not you like fascism, it is safe to say that it was a big historical achievement for him to fend off both fascism and communism and keep this country from bending the principles on which it was found to fit one of these ideologies. You had people from both the left (Huey Long) and right (Business Plot) trying to take power during such a tumultuous time period that it amazing American democracy was still standing.
I also have a hard time accepting some of these rankings, such as IQ. How do we know how truly intelligent some of these men were when they didn't even measure IQ until the Twentieth Century.

Inflation, buying everything with gold and silver mined by slaves on the other side of the world, not building a local economy, pointless wars
We had this thread last week, and the week before, and the week before, and so on.

Is geography allowed on /his/? I was reading about Manchuria's climate and then I came across a phenomenon called the Siberian High (or Siberian Anticyclone) on Wikipedia, making the weather in the Northeastern-most part really extreme in winter. Can't imagine that. I live in the tropics.

Human geography is certainly /his/, but your question might be more /sci/ related.

After the Greeks and the dry spell that was Rome, mathematics was a Christian enterprise as were physics, chemistry, pretty much everything. Others would work within these fields. They didn’t originate them.The other major religion of the Mideast, Islam, appeared in the Seventh Century and conquered vast territories, but quickly fell into intellectual sloth and has since produced almost nothing other than splendid carpets and some lovely mosques. This darkness was not of genetic origin. Many of the peoples conquered by Islam were advanced and impressive, as for example the Persians. Rather it is resulted from a deliberate revulsion against thought and inquiry.

I have been reading on Pre-columbian voyages to the new world and I came across some theories about the Phoenicians and Carthaginians arriving in Africa and the Americas.
Apparently carthaginians coins were found on the island Corvo in the Azores and explorers like Himilco and Hanno sailed African coasts and various part of European coasts aswell.
Fortunate Isles while connected to mythology, several locations of these islands have been prescribed ranging from the Canary islands to the Antilles which match Ptolemys coorordinates.
How much of this is bullshit and would it even be possible to sail around Africa or through the Atlantic? I'm not very knowledgeable about Carthage or Phoenicia so I don't know lot about society or technology back then

I'm pretty sure the Viking voyage to the Americas is the only confirmed one.

Incas colonized the Easter Island.

It's possible but I'd say more likely a shipwreck in the Americas.

What are your thoughts on the Taisho Era of Japanese history? It seems so exciting to me since it mixes all of the industriousness and pride of the Meiji Era with a sincere thirst for Western philosophy. Plus we got to see how Imperial Japan functioned in the international community before all the animosity of WWII.
Any good books you would recommend or you enjoyed about the Taisho Era?

Taisho period was great, if only because it was the only time modern Japan was a democracy before the American occupation. Really wish it could've lasted longer.

An attempt at democracy and was peak /comfy/, 1920's and an aesthetic looking empire and being considered one of the big 5 powers, it was a good time for Japan. Taisho himself was kinda unfortunate as it was evident he wasn't really all there in the head. Also Hirohito was living it up in Europe. Military fucked up everything afterwards though.

Does /his/ have any recommendations for essential WWI & WWII naval reading? I've already read Japanese Destroyer Captain and loved it. Anything similar when it comes to understanding what life was like on the seas or higher level strategic stuff would be welcome.

Go for Power at Sea by Lisle Rose; although that's very much on the strategic level stuff, not what life at sea was like.

Why do Romanians praise Michael of Wallachia so much? From what I could find he was a mediocre general at best, was it just pure luck?

Romanian here. He's an interesting historical figure, but overly-idealized by national propaganda, as is the case in most eastern european countries. This goes back to around 1848, when historians started seeing him as the first unifier of the romanian provinces in one romanian state. This is why he is held in such high regard, although that union was really short lived and not motivated by nationalistic ideals.

Mircea I Basarab, the Elder - is without a shadow of a doubt the most underrated of the Wallachian rulers. Amazing diplomat and brilliant administrator.
Romanian history is incredibly fascinating. I wish it was discussed more.
