also unlike britain wich has 4 clearly divided cultures, spain decided to divided each of its regions in subregions as in to somewhat represent all posssible minorities and historical regions of spain during completely different times, at the same time.
this is what spain looked like if the regions were the components of the spanish shield in the flag.
much easier to manage and understand

>>2857124
As far as I know, modern English people are descended originally from picts, celts, then romans which would have likely been of italian/frankish/germanic origin, then from danish and other northern peoples, then by normans, and thats all I got.
Its a deep mixture.

Are you dumb? It's both

That's not how it really went down. It's Israeli propaganda. Wikipedia is owned by them so they make it look like that. I'm comforted by the fact that Israel wont exist by the time I have grandchildren.

all I know is, don't listen to fags saying start with the greeks
I'm sure theres a good "entry to philosophy" book out there you can find on amazon for like 5 bucks
imo the best route is just googling shit all day, theres probably a philosophy wiki.

You definitely start seriously with the Greeks, since many philosophers will start referencing previous ideas.

thats why he starts with an introduction or a wiki that cross links the previous ideas

Assuming that Hitler started gassing Jews since day 1, that makes for 3,153,600 minutes. 6,000,000 Jews killed during 3,153,600 minutes comes out to 1.9 Jews per minute. That means Hitler killed roughly 1 Jew every 30 seconds. (LOL) In Auschwitz, the most famous and biggest concentration camp, there are 15 crematoriums. According to Auschwitz survivors, Jews would go into the chamber, gassed for 15-20 minutes, then put into the oven. It takes 1 hour to cremate a body using modern furnaces which operate at much higher temperatures than the traditional ovens at the camp. However, lets say that the ovens were operating at a level that we see today, that means it would take 1 hour, 20 minutes to gas and burn 15 Jews assuming they were all burned simultaniously. (Disregarding the time it would take for the gas to empty the chamber for the bodies to be transported from the chamber to the oven.) The elevators used to transport bodies were very slow and could only take up 7 bodies at a time with their weight capacity. However, for our greatest ally, we're going to assume that bodies were teleported instantly from chamber to oven. That means 15 Jews were gassed and burned every 1.2 hours. That comes out to exactly 300 Jews every 24 hours (Assuming the gassing and burning of Jews was happening every hour straight for 6 years on an uninterrupted basis) the total # of killed jews would be 657,000 for those 6 years. The official Jewish story is that 4,000,000 Jews were killed at Auschwitz alone.

The "official" story is that about 1 million Jews died at Auschwitz. Did you not read even the most basic things about the camp?

Why didn't Islam go through a Reformation like Christianity did? Do they still have a chance to do it? Did Christians just have a 600 year headstart and we just have to wait until the 2100s for the Muslims to start sorting their shit out?

a) Wahabism is exactly the Muslim equivalent to the Christian reformation.
b) Reformation wasn't exactly a good thing, it lead to lots of wars and destruction. What ultimately made the West superior was the age of enlightenment and the society turning away from religion.

How is that in any way related to the Reformation? What the fuck? That would be more like the Schism. Never mind the fact that there wasn't even a proper Islam when they decided to split up. The Sunni doctrine developed under Umayyad rule, while Shi'a Islam developed separately (though by no means in isolation).

The ideology was irrelevant. The government officials were incompetent. Stop your moral grandstanding, you pompous fool.

>>2849974
Remember, competent officials would take power in Germany, war would last much longer and many more people would die, in combat or in death camps.
This is also why SOE abandoned their "Foxley" plan

This thread is reserved for short history related questions of all time period not worthy of their own threads. I'll start with mine.
Who did the visigoths look from a military point of view during the sacking of rome? How organized had they become compared to rome?

I've read that usually only nobles or well-off people could afford swords at least until the high middle ages. How expensive were swords back then?
>>
>>2845385
There is some argument but it might not be inaccurate to think of the Visogoths as essentially a Roman army that revolted against the government.
>>
>>2845432
I think they were a large part of the mercenary support the Roman empire relied upon during its decline, however they were culturally distinct from the Romans. I think their origin is still under debate, but they're believed to have come from poland or the baltics
don't hesitate to let me know if I'm retarded
