I think the g*rmans sold my great great grandfather in law's iron cross, the bastards :D

Mainly what i want to know is what culture is this from what is the style called the time period where it was most prevelant the people it would have faced? P.S I believe it is some form of slavic armour but since in the game kingdom come deliverance (where this is from) I thought the eastern part of Europe by this time had adopted the German and Italian style of Plate armour.

What was life like in communist shitholes during the Cold War? Did you get to decide what commieblock you wanted to live in? How much personal property did you own? We're there shops? How did the average person get food?

Im specifically talking about the USSR but other countries are welcome too.

I caught a thread just as it was ending. It posed the question of whether we think that liberal democracy will remain the dominant form of government in the future. Why or why not? And if not, what will replace it and why?

Also, it shared a totally unrelated meme which I would also like to discuss.

>>2970648

I think the original image is good from a liberal-progressive perspective, and the image on this post is good from a socialist-leftist perspective. I don't really like the other two. I think a better liberal-conservative image would imagine each person as being the same (average) height, so their boxes would not allow the person on the left to see because his box was taken away so the person on the right can sit and still have a good view.

As for the main question, I think that liberal democracy is still the best system that we have and won't be replaced until our moral education advances beyond the need for legal rights and we can achieve a socialist democracy, or until we have the technology for central planning to work better than the market.

What ethnic backgrounds did Crusaders come from? I know obviously there were lots of French and Germans of various kinds, but what else? Slavs? Did any Iberian crusaders make it to the holy land? I feel like I read about a Scandinavian crusader once but I'm not sure. Are there any documented accounts of particularly odd or unlikely groups producing crusaders, like Finns or Balts?

And what about the Crusader states? Did any of their subjects begin to develop their own group identity?

I refer only to the crusades in the Holy Land.

Going off of OP's post, I was wondering if the crusaders had any impacts on the admixture of the Levantine people.
>>
>>2970505
Iberian crusaders were mostly concerned with the land they lived in but there would've been a lot of Italian crusaders, particularly from Southern Italy and Sicily
>>
Mainly French lords ended up ruling the Holy Land, however at least in the first crusade the Crusaders themselves came from literally all over Christendom

Someone tell me about the various ethnic minorities and groups in China.

I can hardly name any besides the Hakka thanks to Gran Torino but who are the most important and what distinguishes them from Han Chinese?
16 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
the Hakka aren't really an ethnic minority, they are just a regional Han Chinese identity with their own dialect (Han Chinese are internally diverse as well)
Also if i remember correctly, the people in Gran Torino were Hmong, not Hakka.

the largest ethnic minorities are:

>Hui
Muslim Chinese distinguished from Han only by their religion, not by general culture or language

>Tibetans
Their language is only very remotely related to Chinese and they are very devoted Vajrayana (Tantric) Buddhists where Han Chinese are mostly vanilla Mahayana Buddhists if at all; they have their own very distinctive culture and there are even some nomadic tibetans

>Mongols
in inner Mongolia, they have a lot in common with tibetans specifically their Tibetan buddhism, they speak a Mongolic language unrelated to Chinese

>Miao
Also called the Hmong (these are the ones that appear in gran torino), they are scattered throughout the south of China and don't consider themselves a single ethnic group, some of them live in southeast asia as well; they speak Hmongic languages of the Hmong-Mien family

>Yao
They also live in the south and speak Hmong-Mien languages related to the Miao languages; yao women are famous for never cutting their hair; the woman in your pic is yao, her hairstyle indicates her marital status

>Manchu
once the elite ethnicity under the qing dynasty they have assimilated to Han Chinese to the point of losing their own (Tungusic) language which is only spoken by a handful of people today despite having been a language of imperial administration at one point

>Zhuang
live in Guangxi province and speak a language related to thai that is written in a really weird latin orthography

>Koreans
a lot of them live close to the border of North korea

there are tons more but i don't really know anything about most of them

>uyghurs
turkic muslims speaking a Karluk Turkic language derived from chagatay literary turkic and closely related to Uzbek (Sart). They live in the Tarim Basin around the Taklamakan desert where they once displaced the Indo-European speaking "Tocharians" (who weren't the actual tocharians btw). Uyghurs are culturally related to other central asian turkic peoples and they write their language in arabic script, though before that they wrote in vertical aramaic which they passed on to the mongols and manchu who still kind of use it.

France keeps its influence on the southern German states - which means Germany might have possibly not unified.

>>2969847
Prussia probably loses territories in the Rhine and influence over lots of German territories.
Possibly prevents formation of the German empire

What?

that isnt true.

Spain was lot, Sicily was lost. Turks pretty much saved Islam from a Christian reconquest of the mediterranean.
Arba were very decadent by the 1000s.
And the Turks lost wars non stop to Austria and Russia for more than a century before Napoleon.

Also, Syria and Egypt were the most important parts of the west when the muslims conquered them. Saint Augustin was from what now is Tunisia. They became shitholes when they became completely muslim.

FDR and Churchill hated Communists more than Fascists.

They just had a mutual enemy in Hitler for the period of time during the 2nd World War. That is the ONLY reason they ever worked together.

Not using nukes when the advantage was clear was a mistake. Literally less people would have died by going with Operation Unthinkable than allowing communism to grow and proxy wars to be the norm for decades.

blatant disregard for the political climate at the time?
watering down the definition of slavery?

Here are some questions for ya /his/
Why do countries feel the need to have a national anthem?
Why are European anthems so much better than almost anyone elses?
What is your favorite national anthem, and if your favorite is your home nations, what is your second favorite?

As an American i personally think God Save The Queen/King is the greatest anthem out there. Honorable mentions to La Marseilles and Kimi Ga Yo.
