Tell me funny and/or interesting details about Hitler's life.
Unlike Stalin, I never bothered to study Hitler, he always felt like less of a monster (not refering to his crimes, just character).

>his crimes
What crimes?

Go back to /pol/ and don't shit up what could be a nice and informative thread.
He diddled his underage niece and then she killed herself
What is "Ulster Scots" culture?
not what you would call culture
>>3008243
Care to elaborate? Only curious because right now there seems to be a big hubbub in parts of Ireland about Irish language and culture vs Ulster-Scots culture, but I don't actually know anything about Ulster-Scots culture, or language.

Even if euros turned right around and got back on the boats and left immediatly the indos would still have been devastated by disease.

You weren't doing much when we got there, you aren't doing much now. If I had to guess, you wouldn't have done much if we never came.
Is it accurate to say that the Constitution of the United States was a result of the American Revolution?
>>3027175
Are you retarded?
>>3027177
yes
More accurate to say it's a result of the failings of the articles government
Is humanity destined to always be imperfect?
>>3027031
Yep. Even if we could achieve perfection, there would be so many visions of what perfection would look like that we wouldn't accomplish anything.
>>3027031
THE CONCEPT OF "HUMANITY" ITSELF IS SYMPTOMATIC OF A SUBOPTIMAL BODY, A DISEASED MIND, AND A CORRUPTED SPIRIT; TO LUMP ALL HUMANS INTO ONE AMORPHOUS MASS CALLED "HUMANITY" WITHOUT REGARD FOR RACIAL, OR INDIVIDUAL, QUALITY, IS AS ABSURD AS LUMPING ALL ANIMALS INTO AN INDISTINCT CLASS CALLED "ANIMALITY", AND ALL PLANTS INTO AN INDISTINCT CLASS CALLED "VEGATALITY".
"HUMANITY" IS THE SOCIETY OF THE SUBHUMAN.
>>3027031
perfection is an idea in your mid, buddy
I actually like humanity exactly as it is, with all the rape and murder
If not for it, shit would be so boring
During the two World Wars bunkers became the dominant mode of fortification. In the Cold War, nuclear shelters were also developed (though they aren't really forts, but at least people are supposed to hide there from attacks). What will be the next step of fortification, if there is a war which utilizes the full destructive capabilities of our current technology?
"Fixed fortifications are a monument to man's stupidity", so sayeth general patton
>>3027035
So they should immediately try a moving one then.

did sisyphus LET the boulder roll back down?
>>3026659
why didn't Sisyphus just stop rolling the boulder?
>>3026666
why not keep rolling it? It didn't matter in the end so why not get some gainz while your at it?
>>3026666
well the idea behind it was that it was a metaphor for life, that we keep doing things expecting change when they tend to slide right back into place, and all we can do is keep pushing it hoping for change that will never truly come, and hope that when we die, it slides back just a little less than last time.
the question im trying to ask is whether or not the mistakes in pushing the boulder were the same ones we make. there are ways out of most problems but we keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
did sisyphus push too fast?

Why didn't the Ottomans just conquer all of Africa?
Did t*rks fear the black warrior?
>>3026423
Desert
How do you conquer flies?
For real thing, administering an empire from across the sahara was beyond the abilities of most societies. The Portuguese only managed to do it by ship.
>>3026423
Desert and it was probably overextending, the Ottomans already controlled lucrative areas which brought them wealth, they didn't really need it and a bunch of sand, they avoided places with nothing which is evident by the fact they only took the North African coast and regions around the Nile in Egypt and strips of Arabia.
does /pol/ prefer reading modern historians or people who actually lived during the events being told, maybe a few years afterwards?
I have read accounts written both contemporarily and several decades after WW1&2, for exanple, and perspective changes a lot. Which one would be more accurate, less biased, in general?
>does /pol/ prefer reading modern historians or people who actually lived during the events being told, maybe a few years afterwards?
You should probably ask /pol/
Meant /his/ *
>>3026417
Obviously a good way is to balance them out. Historians always include first-hand accounts though.
Alright, nomadic barbarians, we admit it: you beat us. You just keep running circles around us urban, imperial civilized folk. We can't keep up with you! To honor your success, we have this gift for you.
did the civilized folk intentionally give the barbarians alcohol to fuck them over?
>>3026564
Abso-fucking-lutely. Nomadic peoples are extremely good at a lot of things but historically they're very bad at finding ways to produce alcohol of any real strength or volume.
The Chinese would give steppe barbarians casks of white liquor, then move in and massacre them after they drank themselves into a stupor.
>>3026372
The mongols had fermented milk wine and might have passed some distillation techniques they learned to the Koreans. I also find it hard to believe rice wines and such weren't the popular all over Asia.
