They freed the slaves and made sure they could vote. They wiped out the KKK. What more do you want?

That's what "Reconstruction" was.

In my opinion, no, too many of those countries have nothing in common with one another.

I only dabbled in history as an undergraduate, so I don't really have a professional opinion. It's always been a personal interest of mine. I'm not really privy to the issues of professional historians and so forth and I've never heard of Gumbrecht before, but from your explanation it sounds like he's something of an academic purist. Would that be accurate? It sounds like wants historians to become akin to monks sequestered in their abbey, minimizing contact with the laypeople so they can remain focused on their calling. If I base my understanding of the issue off of that analogy I can understand the merits of his argument, but if I'm wrong I'd like to know in greater detail what exactly he's in favor of.

It's so rare to get real, professional discussion on this board.

I'm a recent history graduate specializing in modern history at Oxford. And I can tell you the state of history as a discipline is complete shit.

I shit you not, every fucking woman currently graduating wrote a dissertation on feminism or gender perspectives. Objective, unbiased research is dead. And most publications outside academia are just vulgarized, commercial and simplified pieces of sensationalized shit

>>2830004
In more or less words, you could say that. Gumbrecht is a Historian currently at the University of Standford and if you can find the speech he give in one of this visits at the University of Osnabrük in Germany, then you can make yourself an idea of what he wants about History and Humanities, less budget for humanities and more complex thought among fewer historians/philosophers.

>>2830027
Objective unbiased research? Well, I can tell you that objective History has never existed. Sure, you have attempts like Positivism in the XIX century and Historical Materialism, or the first generations of L'école des Annales, but if the 1968 experience taught us with Hayden White, Michel Foucault, Michel de Certau and Paul Veyne, is that history cannot be objective, at most impartial, and it is written from a specific point of time by a specific human being, the historian, who writes based on his personal experiences, cosmovision, social class and other variables that make is work more of an interpretation of History.

Fear of Russia and cucking for the little guy (Turkey)

Except for a small bit of the western Anatolian coast (modern day İzmir Province), all that area was majority Turkish in 1920 and had been for hundreds of years prior. As well as a central part of the Turkish state for hundreds of years. Including Istanbul and East Thrace. Not that the Allies cared much, they supported the Greeks solving that problem via genocide/ethnic cleansing. The Greeks just lost the war despite lots of help and a massive advantage in every area of materiel because the Turks are just smarter fighters than them.

After that point trying to propose to the British or French "hey guys why don't you March hundreds of thousands of troops into bumfuck nowhere and ethnically cleanse it while suffering tens of thousands [minimum] more deaths yourself just to hand it to the Greeks at the end" would just get you laughed at.

>>2829804
They tried but got BTFO. Just like how today American protesters get BTFO in their own country and Turks get away with it. Turks are the strongest race in the world

I actually trust Russia's army more than the American army because America had no regard for ancient sites when they were in Iraq. Would never let them near anything. I hate my own army so much...

A part of the Soviet famine of 1932–33 which struck everywhere and everyone in the Soviet Union.

Ukrainians keep insisting only they suffered in the Famine ignoring the Suffering and Plight of the other soviet States.

>>2829684
He said he didn't want tankie propaganda.

>>2829552

The very basic summary is that the Holodomor was an artifical famine that killed anywhere between 3 to 12 million people. This range is extremely wide because accurate census data from the period is very hard to come by. The thing about a planned economy is that there are planned goals, and extreme (often fatal) pressure to reach those goals, including simply fudging the data if said goal is not reached.

This specifically pertains to the Holodomor because the Stalin had set population growth as one of the goals of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Census of 1937 revealed a large gap in the projected and actual population of the Soviet Union. As a result, the people who organized the survey were denounced as enemies of the people and sent to the Gulag. Stalin then ordered a new census that returned exactly as many people as the projection, make of that what you will. The 1937 census tallied 162 million people, while Stalin expected 170 million.

The place where FDR is a totalitarian dictator in disguise while Franco and Pinochet are nice guys, not dictators.

Lithuanian dukes exploited the power vacuum in Western Rus caused above all by the weakening of the Horde and dying out of the dynasty of the princes of Halich. Now this enlarged but internally frail duchy was surrounded by three established powers (Muscovy, Monastic state of Teutonic Knights and Poland), very interested in expanding into lithuanian territory. The fate of Lithuania, a young, fragile state ruled by a pagan elite, was to either make a deal with one of the neighbours (the choice was really between Muscovy and Poland) or implode (very easy considering the number of offspring Gedyminas left and divide-and-conquer strategy that the neighbours would have pursued).

>>2829341
The country was surrounded by all sorts of powerful kingdoms, empires. Union with Poland was a lesser evil.

>>2829341
Slavs ruined it.

Actually, yes. The simple acts of washing with water and soap, burying poop away from wells and such, and cleaning surgical instruments would have a noticeable affect on population growth.

Yes, immensely. Doctors and surgeons would make sure to wash their hands with soap or some lye before operating on patients, the mortality rate from operation procedures would drop substantially.

Basically these. The black death probably wouldn't have been prevented, but greatly mitigated.

why did none in eastern Asia ever think like this?

Last bump. I know I can just search for some books myself but I'd prefer personal recommendations.

>>2829215
i can't make recommendations but i can try to find you some books that fit your criteria if you give me a bit

>>2829599

I would appreciate that. Perhaps you are more skilled than me at searching for this.

you know how /pol/ says "jews are communists to themselves and capitalist to everyone else"? Rome is the other way around.

>>2829611
the abuse of power and the social dynamics are pretty much the same

no I don't go to /pol/, you should return there though
