History noob trying to get started, I've been listening to some of Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. I'm not sure about /his/ disposition towards him so forgive me if I unwittingly unleash a shitposting frenzy. Finding them really interesting and the in-depth analysis he goes into is great. Downsides being, they're long as fuck and I also feel you need at least some basic background knowledge on the subject to fully appreciate the content. On top of that, he doesn't cover a massive amount of topics thus far.
Can you guys recommend any Podcasts, Audiobooks or Youtube channels that are of similar quality that are maybe more noob friendly and perhaps start's with basic foundation level shit and then builds on it. Not fussed what era of history at the moment because I'm not too sure what interests me yet. I'm just dipping my toes in. Maybe a broad selection would be good to explore.
Would also love something similar on Politics & Philosophy if you know of it. Cheers lads.

This, the history of byzantium and revolutions are great.
Id also look for an audiobook copy of herodotus' histories, you can almost certainly find one on librivox.

He was the Sobel of the Civil War. Can drill an army into a fighting force but he choked when he had to put it all into practice.

So your argument is wrong. Therefore not arguments are wrong and the universe is not arbitrary.
If your argument is NOT wrong, then at least one argument is not wrong, therefore not arguments are wrong and the universe is not arbitrary.

>needs son because no English monarch before Elizabeth I had ever successfully passed the throne onto a daughter, without the kingdom falling into turmoil and the family being killed off soon after
>has son with mistress Elizabeth Blount, but the bastard dies in childhood
>wants to divorce his aged, time capsule of a wife Catherine; but her nephew "Holy" "Roman" "Emperor" Charles V has recently sacked Rome and taken Pope Clement hostage.
>Charles had recently betrayed Henry by negotiating a separate peace while both Kingdoms were at war with France, and wasn't going to let Clement rule in Henry's favor for a divorce (despite the Pope's personal liking of Henry, especially after he attacked Martin Luther). Charles begins eyeing, if not the absorption of England's possessions into the HRE, a Habsburg on England's throne
>breaks with Habsburg puppet state that was Rome once he realizes Charles is basically running the church; still taking great pains to ensure the "Church of England" remained as sacramentally and theologically "Catholic" as possible (even if politically it was no more)
>Irish-Catholic liars and shitposters in America and Canada bitch that "Henry VIII only left the church to get his dick wet" and that "he should've realized it was his fault he couldn't produce male children"

Charles or no Charles the church teaches that divorce from a sacramentally valid marriage is impossible and that having affairs with other women is adultery. Henry VII wanted to have more sex but couldn't because the church and Christs teachings condemn that as sinful and reprobate. So he created his own church to sanction a sexually immoral lifestyle. He destroyed the shrines of st Thomas a becket and st Richard of Chichester to remove the memory of holy churchmen who defended catholic truth against those who persecuted them using secular governmental power. It is true that the Church of England initially from 1535-1547 remained sacra mentally valid but soon after the Edwardine reforms became Protestant after the priesthood was abolished and most of the sacraments were removed or calvinized.

He would probably say:
>Fuck this Europe it´s not like i wanted it.
>The best science guys and philosophers should find each other.
>Then they should develop Europe as one country and the ruler of the world.
>End of my plan as it was written long ago in my books.
He never thought of that fucked up controversy
that would certainly start when the so called best people would try to find each other.
Retarded plan from a good thinker.

I've heard people say that the American accent was the original accent of English lower classes and that the British accent came about because of its association with the upper classes, but is there any evidence for this? Where does this view come from? Is it a misconception?

No
It's more like the posh accent grew in the UK and the lower class English accents is /closer/ to general American accents then it is to the posh accent.
>>
>>2994561
theres a good youtube video about this that went viral a while ago where a guy reads shakespeare in the original accent it would have been performed, basically america and britain had the same accent at one time, but they both diverged contrary to what most people think, that only the american accent diverged. I remember people commenting on the video that the original accent sounds more American than British, but personally I don't think it sounds American at all. Anyway, the expert in the video says he reconstructed the accent from studying the rhyming and poetic patterns of original unabridged shakespeare plays, which is sort of dubious but at least it kind of makes sense.

>>2994561
Pre vowel shift was the original accent everything else is an unintelligible abomination.

Tbh, I think the showtime version of The Borgias kind of whitewashed Cesare more.The European Borgia: Faith and Fear just shows him on the worst behavior. The utmost psychopath by the end of season 2 after he resigns as a cardinal. There is evidence that he was prone to anger and did not react well to being insulted. I watched a random documentary once on the Borgias.

How far into history do you have to go to find the earliest people suffering from delirium tremens? Could a chronic habit on the wine of Athens have done it?
