If you take out differences in technological advancement, how are you gauging strength? number?

I guess the British Empire, since it probably had the largest population of them all.

itt favorite unsolved mysteries of history. I'll go first. My pick is the Cagots:

>The Cagots (pronounced: [ka.ɡo]) were a persecuted and despised minority found in the west of France and northern Spain: the Navarrese Pyrenees, Basque provinces, Béarn, Aragón, Gascony and Brittany. Evidence of the group exists back as far as AD 1000.[1]

Cagots were shunned and hated. While restrictions varied by time and place, they were typically required to live in separate quarters in towns, called cagoteries, which were often on the far outskirts of the villages. Cagots were excluded from all political and social rights. They were not allowed to marry non-Cagots, enter taverns, hold cabarets, use public fountains, sell food or wine, touch food in the market, work with livestock, or enter the mill. They were allowed to enter a church only by a special door, and during the service, a rail separated them from the other worshippers. Either they were altogether forbidden to partake of the sacrament, or the Eucharist was given to them on the end of a wooden spoon, while a holy water stoup was reserved for their exclusive use. They were compelled to wear a distinctive dress, to which, in some places, was attached the foot of a goose or duck (whence they were sometimes called "Canards"). So pestilential was their touch considered that it was a crime for them to walk the common road barefooted or to drink from the same cup as non-Cagots.[2]

>The Cagots were not an ethnic group, nor a religious group. They spoke the same language as the people in an area and generally kept the same religion as well. Their only distinguishing feature was their descent from families identified as Cagots. Few consistent reasons were given as to why they should be hated. The Cagots did have a culture of their own, but very little of it was written down or preserved; as a result, almost everything that is known about them relates to their persecution.[3][4]

They were cannibals, lad. We know that pre-Christian societies sometimes ate other humans, the overwhelming majority of this practice would have been wiped out by 1000AD in Western Europe. These people were the 0.1% of the population who considered it acceptable.

Think about it, would you want cannibals using a public fountain you use? Or drinking from the same cup as you?

yeah ive heard about these people

anyone from france have any input here?

I have to write a paper on a historical figure for one of my classes, I'm thinking of doing Moses; this isn't a religious class and I consider myself atheist, more details on that matter are irrelevant.

To get straight to the point my question is: How exactly did he lead the hebrews out of Egypt/slavery if that even happened? Did he exist? Is this question inherently wrong?

I know this isn't the place to go for reliable information but I know I can get a fairly quick answer here. If you have sources please site them if you want; I just need a start on where to look or if I should choose a different subject.

I probably won't be able to reply in the next few hours but I'll check back when I can. Thanks in advance.

Did Hitler really meddle a lot on military issues, and often being the one responsible for the fuck-ups, or is that just a lie to portray him as a terrible leader in history?

Difficult to tell due to lack of historical evidence, however I'd have to say the latter. There's this really good documentary called The Greatest Story Never Told that I recommend. It explains this Hitler stuff in great detail. The documentary also sheds light on other WWII topics such as the Danzig Massacres and subsequent invasion (if one wishes to call it such) of Poland.

>>2937191
It's exaggeration. He was not an awful military leader. For example, he helped make the invasion of France the great success it was:

I'm fine with his Black nationalist approach. It's his commie approach I don't like. His legacy is one of typical African leftist despots who sucked there nations dry and destroyed them.

White people deserved it since they inherently have white privilege.

He gave money/healthcare to the underprivileged oppressed race and there is nothing wrong with that. He just wanted to make everyone equal.

Hmmmmm

Did the muslims kill off the Anubian Jackal, is that the reason why we don't see them around anymore?
From Muslim #3813
Abu Zubair heard Jabir Abdullah saying: Allah's messenger ordered us to kill dogs and we carried out this order so much so that we also killed the dog roaming with a women from the desert. Then Allah's apostle forbade their killing. He said: "It is your duty to kill the jet-black (dog) having two spots (on the eyes) for it is a devil.

Whenever anything mesoamerican is mentioned people go on a rant about human sacrifice, savages,deserved to be genocided, nothing was lost.. etc
I tought people who care about history would have a better understanding. Many civilizations were wiped out and all their knowledge with them, 500s years later we are just learning they written language, why so much hate?

I mean I admire some of their civilizations. I love me some Incan roads, and worshiping corn is pretty fucking great, but it gets to a point where you're really stretching the pros of some of these civilizations, or you REALLY have to dig deep. Also, they did do human sacrifice though, but so did other civilizations in Asia.

>>2936944
Nobody likes savages, whether they can write or not.

If we cried over every civilization that was wiped out and their knowledge lost with them, we would never have time to do anything else.

Hmm, it's almost as if organisms evolved by kin selection have inherited genes that lead them to select within their kin groups.

How could this be, Kin Selection is a myth, I know this to be true, because my hypothesis conflicts with it.

My guess is America would be very annoyingly left-wing just to counter-signal the Nazis, but that would depend a lot on the details.

Are we envisioning something where the Nazis and Japanese divide the Soviet Union and Britain is forced to surrender, but not actually conquered?
