Let's address the elephant in the room. /pol/. How do we get them to stay in their containment board? I for one am tired of "What race were the ancient Greeks and Egyptians?" threads.

Extreme francophilia is the tried and true method for dealing with them
There's nothing we can do about it, it's best to ignore them and focus on whatever you came for.
Try finding other sites to discuss history. 4chan is all about trash talk, and trying to be as offensive as possible for the laughs.
Any chance we'll see an American Embassy go up in Iran anytime soon? I'm not Middle Eastern, but I think that whole situation was about 16 different kinds of fucked up and it's about time we fix it.
Maybe if the Israel lobby by some miracle loses power
>>3357142
But wouldn't US influence in Iran help lessen the Anti-Israel sentiment in that nation?
>>3357159
lol no, Iran and Israel are always going to be at each others throats over regional power and influence
Does Africa prove that democracy doesn't work
>>3357110
America proves that too.
Not really considering how insanely corrupt their democracies are and how many presidents for life the continent has. As much as America is an oligarchy posing as a democracy, most of Africa is basically just various dictatorships and kleptocracies posing as democracies.
Was Wallachia ever an independent nation? Also what's the connection between Wallachia and Transylvania? Thanks in advance /his/!
>>3357094
Not an expert on this subject but I don't think Wallachia was truly a sovereign state in the same way most modern nations are. It was a vassal state of the Ottomans for most of its history, although Vlad "the Impaler" defied them and ran the country as a de facto independent state (which is why he's well liked by some Romanians today despite his brutality).
You could also argue that modern day Romania is the successor of Wallachia but this is a bit of a stretch imo
>>3357141
Well, Romania sprouted from Wallachia, mainly.
>>3357094
Wallachia is such a silly name.
We've all heard about the crushing of the Mighty Invicible Spanish Armada but turns out exactly 1 year later, an even bigger english fleet combined with dutch vessels (total : 150 ships) went to war against the Spanisht and... got absolutely out-schooled and annihilated this time arround while being in clear numerical superiority.
Were the Spanish the true rulers of the waves all along /his/ ? Have I been lied my whole life ?
Really makes you think that this is not more known, hum.. How convenient for my agenda. angloidhandsrubbing.png
>>3357042
No, what it means is that with the available technology of the time, it was hard as fuck to send a large naval expedition and expect it to fight at the end of a considerable journey. It's much easier with the home field advantage.
>>3357058
You realize that could literally be said to every wars in history to begin with, up until to arguably the modern days and the invention of the steem powered engine ?
Plus the English convenently brag about plenty of wars of which their opponents had to walk, ride or whatnot for days, weeks, and were also exhausted by those considerable journeys, still it did not stop the beady propaganda from portraying their victories as a clear unmatched war expertise. I demand the same treatment to be applied to English defeats.
Nice try beady Shlanglo indeed nice try but : Not. An. Argument.
>>3357168
The Spanish Armada has more importance in English history than the English Armada does in Spanish history.
>this is a 10/10 in Nazi Germany
germany is such an ugly country
glad its going away, worthless compared to every other place in europe
>Aryans are the master race
>Poster boy is a fucking converted Jew
Nazi Germany was pretty funny in retrospect
>>3356999
Heydrich looked so Jewish
You really have to do some serious mental gymnastics to take skull measurements seriously
Was the Byzantine Empire Roman, Greek or Christian?
To what degree did the respective Roman and (classic) greek heritage influence the life and self perception of the people?
Was it feudal in the Western sense?
etc. etc.
It's sad that such a fascinating part of history gets so obscured
>>3356961
>was the Byzantine Empire Roman, Greek, or Christian?
It was Roman, Greek, and Christian.
Byzacucks kill yourselves already you're the cancer of /his
all of the above
no it wasn't feudal, the Latin empire's introduction of feudalism fucked up the administration and the empire in general
they referred to themselves as rhomaioi up until the 1900s, so very much so
/thread
Why were Peasantines so shit tier at warfare?

Was he the coolest serial killer of all time?

Does he really count as a serial killer though?
Louis CK?

I would have had to go with baldness but Alexander seems to have a had a lot of hair
usually baldness is a kill or make a "man" sort of thing, or at least it was for me, with baldness, you either kys or realize the world is fucked and you became a sort of badass survivor who has no fears and obtains what he wants at all costs, basically bald men are fearless barrels of testosterone and IQ

intelligence combined with a relatively high socio-economical status at birth and abnormal amounts of ambition stemming from severe insecurities earlier in their lives.
Can someone explain to me why autosomic DNA is more important than Y and mitocondrial DNA?
Can some giga genetics expert (not some East European autist) really explain to me how this shit works?
Is it true that genetics use in anthropology has improved a lot in the last years?
Since when? how?
>Can someone explain to me why autosomic DNA is more important than Y and mitocondrial DNA?
autusomal dna: explains your whole genetic make up
Y/mtDNA: explains a small part of your genetic make up. For example you could have I2 as your Y-DNA yet have like 1% european dna
>Is it true that genetics use in anthropology has improved a lot in the last years?
yes
>>3356637
How can leftists look at that picture and then with a straight face say that we're all the same?
>>3356681
Becase the genetic difference between us is minuscule compared to other's species races.
Reminder that Lenin was married this hot chick

Why do leftist girls always look so pissed off? is it sjw mentality thing?

This had to be ceremonial armor right? Who could possibly fight in this shit?
Metal barrels are very hard to break, it's a flawless design
>>3356289
You'd ask yourself the same wearing full mail armour lol.
>>3356289
wonder if theres a video of someone trying to move about in that
is that a reconstruction based on archeological finds or is it some retcoon based on reliefs or writings or somesuch?
