I miss 2015 /his/, now it is destroyed by /pol/ bullshit and some shitty memes.
And of course some fucking stupid ass philosophical ideas.
Go back to playing paradox grand strategies and larping your chosen XXth century political movement.
I feel ya.
I wish I was mod so I could ban all the obvious /pol/ posters permanently, but thats life. Maybe we could emigrate to some historical forum? Is there even a historical forum?
>>2928987
>2015 /his/
Holy shit has it really been that long?
Anyway until the mods actually do their jobs and ban /pol/ posters immediately instead of letting their Hitler worship/race bait/ current "discussion" threads get to 100 replies and waiting for at least 3 people to report the thread and then letting the OP off with a warning.
Mods if you're reading this post even one time you've banned a /pol/ poster and I'll shut up.

Because he was a threat to American Hegemony. Had he knelt to American supremacy, he would have been remembered as a man who did what he had to in the situation he found himself.

So was France. They wrestled western Europe away from the USA.
Yet they didn't get such a bad treatment.

Was it doomed from the start?
Why did so many people invade this country? There's nothing of value here. Also, how did the people survive as an independent culture?
Also, who are the Latvians? I thought maybe the Latgalians or something were the direct ancestors of the Latvian people, but apparently all of these people were distinct groups who spoke distinct languages.

Controls the south of the Gulf of Finland bottleneck, so if you got a naval presence there you can cuck St. Petersburg from shipping.
>>2928832
Why would you need to cuck St. Petersburg before 1700? Denmark, Germany, Poland, Russia, and Sweden all tried to invade before St. Petersburg was a thing. And even as far as bottlenecks go, Estonia seems like an anomaly. Finland doesn't nearly get as much attention. Even Thrace has had more stability despite being far more lucrative.
Are magyars superior to slavs?
Well, they didn't change their language.
t. Bulgar whose ancestors got Slav'd
Magyars are superior in general.
Hasn't it been shown that genetically Magyars are virtually identical to modern day Slavs?
From my understanding, the ancestral background is significantly different but the gene pool has been bleached so much at this point by Slavs that it's pretty
Much the same thing
Is it true that the White Army murdered 100,000 Jewish civilians during the Russian Civil War?
I don't want to hear about whether they ""deserved it"" or not, I want to know if it happened.
>>2928489
>Is it true that the White Army murdered 100,000 Jewish civilians during the Russian Civil War?
Yes.
>>2928493
But Jews being predominant in the USSR is a meme amirite
>>2928489
It's certainly possible as anti Jewish feelings were quite common in Russia. It didn't help that some people associated Jews with Bolshevism because of people like Trotsky.
It's a common leftist talking point that walls in history have never worked. Is this true?
>>2928146
>Leftists build Berlin wall
>Some ML leftists support this
>Anarchists don't and want it torn down
In some cases one could argue that walls work, but they don't often last, either that or they're infiltrated.
"The best gardens have fences", I suppose.
While wildflowers grow in the wilderness, they lack the cultivation received in the garden ensuring a harder, shorter life.. However, should the kindly old lady die, who is to say the garden would be appreciated by her successors?
>>2928146
the great wall worked until they opened it to let foreigners in
Scenario: Japan ignores the US oil blockade imposed on Japan. Japan joins the war in Europe to assist Germany and Italy. They get their oil from one of the largest oil suppliers at the time, Romania. The US is still neutral at this point and hasn't found a reason to declare war on the axis.
How does this scenario play out?
>>2928126
Romania couldn't even supply the oil needs of Germany? Where is this extra stuff coming from? How is the oil going to get from Romania to Japan? Why would the Japanese leadership take this proposal seriously? Why do you think the U.S. is neutral at this point? They're not at war, but they're very definitely pro-UK, and pro-China, which is a long way from neutral.
>>2928126
Japan still loses because there is no way in hell Romania could get oil all the way to East Asia. They also wouldn't have been able to do any serious damage to the Soviets.
>>2928130
This.
Also where is Japan getting the manpower? Did they just never declare the war on China?

Was Marx wrong about that?

World wars 1 and 2.

>>2928077
It was rhetorical and meant ad hoc for Napoleon III. It was not meant to be taken as a general statement about history, although retards aka Marxists sometimes consider it to be so.

Too bad it happened so rarely.
What is the most convoluted way you can come up with to make money with a time machine?
Hard mode: no "money is useless if you have a time machine" arguments
>>2927886
Go back in time and buy art by now-famous artists when they're young and broke. Like, trade a few bottles of wine and a nice dinner for a quick portrait from Rembrandt, then bring it to the present and sell it for millions.
>>2927886
>most convoluted
Maybe go back in time and screw up every way anybody else ever get rich. Keep doing that until eventually you are the only one who gets money. Then stop.
Collect gold fillings from concentration camps.
The middle ages were weird.
