Being spiritual is to be in harmony with your inner world and my enlightened by something beyond a cold reason, being religious is to follow a religion.

Seriously, get the fuck out of here. Go where you belong.

I don't know, OP. Have a bump though.

Your picture is wrong. You should actually read these articles on Wikipedia.

Brainlets confuse the 1918 revolution which was stated by pissed off sailors with the 1919 revolution which involved a bunch of Jews, killed almost nobody, and was then put down by a socialist government.

The stab-in-the-back theory was a forced meme that German militarists pushed on the population as a way to avoid the blame that they richly deserved for ruining the country and killing tens of millions of people.

Tell him to elaborate on his arguments since it's pretty well known that the right to own slaves was an important cause of the conflict.


Or you can call him a cuck.

I feel like many of these sightings can be explained by sailors just making shit up because they were bored, or drunk, or both. Come on, don't tell you've never told a bullshit story to entertain your friends.

>>3048188
you tell those stories WITH friends, you dont run off and tell the general public those bullshit stories

This one's my favorite. Mainly because seasoned submariners were the witnesses and should have been able to identify whatever it was that burst from the remains of the British vessel.

tl;dr Germans submariners in WWI sink a British ship, a huge fucking mosasaur jumps out of the water from it's wreckage, and hits the water and dives before they can get a camera.

Why is he portrayed as being turkic? He was magyar.

I always mix this guy up with Genghis Khan. How can I stop that? What are the big differences?

>>3048133

I also have that problem which is partially why I made this thread. Did they both like horse archers or was that only one of them? This needs to be sorted out.

All is over and done.
Render thanks to the Giver,
England, for thy son.
Let the bell be toll’d.
Render thanks to the Giver,
And render him to the mould.
Under the cross of gold
That shines over city and river,
There he shall rest for ever
Among the wise and the bold.
Let the bell be toll’d,
And a reverent people behold
The towerwing car, the sable steeds.
Bright let it be with its blazon’d deeds,
Dark in its funeral fold.
Let the bell be toll’d,
And a deeper knell in the heart be knoll’d;
And the sound of the sorrowing anthem roll’d
Thro’ the dome of the golden cross;
And the volleying cannon thunder his loss;
He knew their voices of old.
For many a time in many a clime
His captain’s-ear has heard them boom
Bellowing victory, bellowing doom.
When he with those deep voices wrought,
Guarding realms and kings from shame,
With those deep voices our dead captain taught
The tyrant, and asserts his claim
In that dread sound to the great name
Which he has worn so pure of blame,
In praise and in dispraise the same,
A man of well-attemper’d frame.
O civic muse, to such a name,
To such a name for ages long,
To such a name,
Preserve a broad approach of fame,
And ever-echoing avenues of song!

‘Who is he that cometh, like an honor’d guest,
With banner and with music, with soldier and with priest,
With a nation weeping, and breaking on my rest?’–

Mighty Seaman, this is he
Was great by land as thou by sea.
Thine island loves thee well, thou famous man,
The greatest sailor since our world began.
Now, to the roll of muffled drums,
To thee the greatest soldier comes;
For this is he
Was great by land as thou by sea.
His foes were thine; he kept us free;
O, give him welcome, this is he
Worthy of our gorgeous rites,
And worthy to be laid by thee;
For this is England’s greatest son,
He that gain’d a hundred fights,
Nor ever lost an English gun;
This is he that far away
Against the myriads of Assaye
Clash’d with his fiery few and won;
And underneath another sun,
Warring on a later day,
Round affrighted Lisbon drew
The treble works, the vast designs
Of his labor’d rampart-lines,
Where he greatly stood at bay,
Whence he issued forth anew,
And ever great and greater grew,
Beating from the wasted vines
Back to France her banded swarms,
Back to France with countless blows,
Till o’er the hills her eagles flew

Iran also supports Terrorist groups now and m8
Yes the Shah was a piece of shit and extremely repressive but the current government is not better. Also
>Unlike other revolutions, the Mullahs didn't go full autistic and murder millions of people or starve to death its population like some revolutions have in the past
That is not saying much. That is basically saying that because the Islamist regime in Iran did not fuck things up totally it is ok. Also saying they improved Female literacy rates is an argument that works for people like Stalin. The Bottom line is that the Shah was only a threat to his own people well The Mullahs have shown themselves to be a threat to the stability of the region and to the people of foreign nations AS WELL AS there own people, thus they are worse then the Shah.

Depends on the time period. Many sources from around WW1 describe them as the Turkish Empire, even though officially they were still the Ottoman Empire. Though if you go back to the pre-post-Napoleonic era they are only referred to as the "Ottoman Empire"

>>3047713
>Doesn't cover Turkic areas
>Is not even solely ruled by Turks
Its an Islamic empire if anything, Ottoman are not an ethnostate, Its multicultural and multi religious, the only thing unites (not even all of them) is Islam

>>3047713
It is best described as an Ottoman Empire.

It is literally in the fucking name. Its Turkic founders didn't care about being Turkic. As far as they were concerned they were Muslim Aristocracy with a Persianate/Turkic/Roman titles ruling over a multiethnic, multicultural, multireligious empire.

Their military culture however is definitely Turkic.

Nobody believes this. Well, you might find a few crazies who will say this, but no sane, mainstream person believes this.

Just because you enjoy something doesn't make it good for you. The greatest pleasure is not in transitory and frivolous entertainment, but in achievement and hard work - leaving something behind after your death.
