No. While Stalin had pretty much abandoned Marxist revolutionary internationalism for a realist foreign policy, the Third Reich's main goal was the annihilation of the Soviet Union and the creation of living space in Eastern Europe.

No. Communism is a globalist ideology, unlike national socialism. Conflict was inevitable.

>Communism is a globalist ideology, unlike national socialism
A myth. National socialism is completely globalist, it just wants to conquer and get rid of everyone else instead of integrating them.

"If a nation confines itself to 'internal colonization' while other races are perpetually increasing their territorial annexations all over the globe, that nation will be forced to restrict the numerical growth of its population at a time when the other nations are increasing theirs. This situation must eventually arrive. It will arrive soon if the territory which the nation has at its disposal be small. Now it is unfortunately true that only too often the best nations--or, to speak more exactly, the only really cultured nations, who at the same time are the chief bearers of human progress--have decided, in their blind pacifism, to refrain from the acquisition of new territory and to be content with 'internal colonization.'
(...)
A time will come, even though in the distant future, when there can be only two alternatives: Either the world will be ruled according to our modern concept of democracy, and then every decision will be in favour of the numerically stronger races; or the world will be governed by the law of natural distribution of power, and then those nations will be victorious who are of more brutal will and are not the nations who have practised self-denial."

I'm not sure what your point is in making this thread OP. Everything you stated is widely known to those who know their history.

>>2899405
Just wait for an autistic muslim to come into the thread

>>2899405

because the last part is recent
they are trying to demonize the reconquista
pretty soon they'll call it a genocide and demand we let all the peaceful muslims back
imagine the EU trying to cut of some part of Spain to create a muslim state

"History in Three Keys" by Paul Cohen is great for the Boxer Rebellion, but I don't know any other great books for Chinese History.

Watch Mulan

>>2895736
Read books about them
That's literally it

Morals are just opinions. "Right" and "wrong" are vague abstractions with no tangibility.

Besides, religion is bullshit. People have believed all manner of dumb crap.

>A Chinese person who is a Norse pagan

the problem with this specific example is that nearly everything we know about norse pagans was written down by christians who were unfamiliar with the religion, so they typically described what they saw using what they understood from their own(christian) and meditteranean pagan(roman/hellenic) religions

imagine trying to understand a catholic church with absolutely no knowledge of christianity and you see how unreliable existing interpretations of any germanic paganism actually are

its why they're LARPers

Cultural appropriation.

Infact some Native Americans IIRC have placed their religious customs under the protection of intellectual property.

because these 3 were on everyone's mind already:

I know it's and obscure country but still, help me out here

Current day Belarus is also the successor of the old Duchy of Lithuania and they actually feel positive about this heritage.

But no. The system worked for quite some time before in 1652 the first Parliament was dissolved because of liberum veto (long story). I think the fact that the Commonwealth abandoned dynastic monarchy was the biggest mistake. It's true that the monarchs didn't have that much power (hence it's called golden or noble democracy) but he was still an influential figure and the fact that he was chosen like a president meant that foreign powers could influence the choice which eventually happened. Also the most influential people in the east were Lithuanians or Ruthenians. They were polonized yes but I guess it's just what happens. By the end of the 14th century Poland was emerging as the strongest country in the region (Hungary and Bohemia had dynastic problems). So I guess it was a matter of "dominant" cultures influencing others.


So the order goes like this.

>freedom loving and prosperous country
>weak monarchy means that after the end of Jagiellonian dynasty the nobles decide on electing their monarchs
>even though some kings were quite effective the ambitions of some of them (particularly Sigmund Vasa who wanted to be the king of Poland AND his native Sweden) resulted in catastrophic wars throughout the entire 17th century
>the country becomes weaker as a result
>foreign countries influence the choice of the monarch
>succession conflicts and kings being friendly towards other countries (like Russia) ensues
>partitions

So in essence, it would have been much better for Lithuania to form a temporary military union with Poland in 1387 and cut off contact afterwards, as Poland served no other benefit?

80% of the state's revenue went towards their useless soldiers.

The Late Roman Army was ridiculously huge, they had over half a million soldiers.

Because Churchill saw the world primarily through political action and how great things would be if they worked out perfectly instead of tactical/operational assessements.

Going through Yugoslavia and striking up from the south pre-empts the Soviets in occupying a lot of Eastern Europe, and is in some ways a natural continuation of the sealift presence in the Med already to support the invasion of Italy. The fact that it's much harder to provide air support, and the terrain is much rougher, are details, surely your commanders are up to the task of dealing with them.

>>2907662
Also, he wanted to limit Soviet influence in Eastern Europe after the war. FDR was a commie autist and said to trust Uncle Jo.

The guy you're replying to said that in the first post.

I feel like there needs to be a rule that only 1 Hitler thread can be active at a time. This is getting out of hand.

I'll empty my gigantic balls into your boipucci

>>2907341
They didn't need such balls. w=When was the last time you heard of a knight getting shell shock or a halberdier with PTSD? Back then you had control over when you got killed, it didn't come out of the blue with an artillery shell out of the sky.

Also they usually didn't use sword and shield. In medieval europe they all were using spear and shield or pike or halberd. In China it was mostly pike and halberd. Very few people wanted to get up close and personal and instead faced their enemies with somewhat of a distance.

Also the average person wasn't in front line or even fighting all the time. You would probably be jabbing the enemy with a halberd for like 3 min and then you get tired before your buddy behind you grabs you and pulls you back before taking your place.

The fact it's obviously intended to glorify Adolf Hitler rather than provide a legitimate critique of his performance as a leader. Which he was absolutely fucking terrible at.
