why the Danzig corridor?

why not give the Poles, Konigsberg or Klaipeda?

So that Germany is continuous.
>>
>>2851865
>why the Danzig corridor?
Pecause some poles were living their. No poles were really living in Konigsberg or Klaipeda. I think the whole "sea access" thing is a meme anyway though. You have plenty of countries without sea access who do fine. Hell, several of them were created by the same allies who drew up the modern borders of Poland.

Does God have to be a physical being? can he be cosmos itself for example, something which has no form.

I always see personifications of God, but is it possible that he simply does not exist in such a form, only as something fleeting and not seeable?

I've always felt that more ancient interpretations of "God" alluded to that, only their languages we're simpler and had no such words for cosmos or matter, I mean it seems silly to think that an omnipotent being capable of forging infinity as we know it would be sentient as we are, or even give a shit for that matter. Can any anons, who are well versed in ancient theology, give any examples of people(s) or civilisations of whom believed this about their respective diety? That it encompasses all things and isn't necessarily a living and thinking being as we are?

What was the reasoning for the African American conversions to Islam in the 20th Century? I know that the Nation of Islam and notable members like Malcolm X led the charge for the widespread conversion, but why? At maximum, only 30% of the African American slaves brought to the Americas would have been Muslim. If the movement and conversion was about getting in touch with the culture's African roots, wouldn't it have made more sense to adhere to traditional African religious practices (or even Santeria, a mix of Catholicism and traditional African religions) rather than Islam?

It is the birthplace of Western civilization but not because some irrelevant hominid lived around there 7 million years ago, glorified apes don't have civilizations.

There have been literally thousands of groups of hominids that have existed in the past 7 million years. literally no way to tell which one we're a direct descendant of.

Homo-sapiens however did not begin to exist until around 200,000 years ago.

The funny thing about the chart:

Well "science" didn't really exist before the 1700s. Technology advanced mostly by people just trying out random shit and going with what worked, there was no scientific method or organized research.

And until the mid 19th century science was the domain of rich guys with too much free time dicking around for the sake of prestige. Sometimes a ruler would patronize them, sometimes they financed themselves. It was in the 19th century that science became a field actively pursued by various states, because it was only then that it began actually contributing towards technology rather than discovering interesting but practically useless facts.

So I would say a basically flat line up until 1850, and large growth after. Of course if you're talking about TECHNOLOGICAL advancement it'd look very different.

It doesn't exclusively focus on the Italian performance, but it's a good book on the Mediterranean theater.

Well if count USSR as part of the same group as western allies then both sides were equal as both Germany and USSR started WWII.

But I don't do that. The Soviets had their own plans separate from Great Britain/US and never fought a battle together and joined sides with liberal democracies because they had the common enemy.

>Nice (conquered by France in 1860)

>Alsace-Lorraine (conquered by France in 1945)
and others

How is it possible that even though modern nations are supposed to be ethnic, they are still based on political conquest? How is it possible that none of these territories had a referendum post-1950 about joining their ethnic motherland?

France doesn't (officially) base its nationalism on being ethnically French; in fact it doesn't even include ethnicity in its own censuses.
Of course this isn't completely the case in reality, but to the French government, officially, Nice or Alsace-Lorraine "re-joining" their ethnic brothers across the border would be like Mexico claiming the American Southwest because the climate is like Mexico; it isn't something that enters into the American view of what constitutes sovereignty and legitimacy of the state.

To an extent. We do love having group identity but it can manifest in a group of like minded individualist. Not just libertarians are like that, even anarchist like Stirner are similar to that

collectivists? No. Communitarian? Yes.

Humans are inherently social; Without a social group (complete isolation), our brains actually don't develop essential functions (learning through reproduction/mimicry, language, communication, etc) and you wouldn't even survive childhood.

Yes and no. Humans compete to cooperate and cooperate to compete.

Pick one.

Physical appearance of the people, geographical location, and language family suggests Northern Europe, but heavy cultural, linguistic, and historical ties to France suggests Western Europe.
