Is Russia the last empire?
An Empire is when a Nation rules on other Nations, and these Nations don't have a legal option for secession. So, yes.
>>2802881
what about USA?
>>2802879
Nope.
If you noticed Russia still having much of its imperial possessions it's not alone. There is China, which is the child of the old Empire. There's India, which is descended from Mughal, Maratha, and Raj memes of a unified subcontinent. The USA could be considered another still-standing empire too considering it has expanded from the meme 13 Colonies and remained that way.
In Europe, you could consider Spain, UK, and Germany (states founded from a union of component kingdoms and states) as surviving empires as well.
Really, for much of their accomplishments, the Colonial Powers of Europe built really short lived empires due to both geography and the fact that they never included the peripheries in the core identity. An Indian was never truly a British subject and was considered apart, not like some Tatar Cunt in the Russian Empire, nor a Mongol Auxiliary in the Chinese Empire, since they cared more for your allegiance than your race.
Is this the most evil organization in recorded human history?
>>2802819
No, that would be SS that killed 6 million Jews.
no its southhampton

Oh boy here we go
Why did the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain have a much more lasting effect on the culture than the Viking invasion?
>>2802787
The Anglo-Saxon invasion established new states whereas various Viking invasions did not build lasting states. Without a state, from where do values come?
Because the Anglos were migrating while the Vikings were just fucking around.
>>2802787
I think the vikings had a much bigger effect on the culture than most people realize
There's been some serious academic arguments put forth that Modern English is actually descended from a dialect of Old Norse heavily influenced by Anglo-Saxon, rather than the other way around.

now that the dust has cettled:
american revolution:
good or bad?
>>2802781
Neither. It was merely predestined, a result of divinely ordained British colonial mismanagement.
Not bad
>>2802801
But Edmund, weren't you against all Revolutions ?
I am a multi-millionaire artist in my 20s, but i'm secretly addicted to heroin and if it ever became public knowledge, I'd probably kill myself. Not knowing who I am and avoiding the bias of being star struck, am I successful to you? Am I someone you'd want to be or look up to, or does my addiction destroy everything I have ever done in your eyes?
>>2802746
Your heroin addiction will just make you more popular with cunny swarms.
Just swap your image to tragic one.
>>2802746
I bet there are some folk who, from all the things you listed, would pick to have the heroin, hahahaha.
Do what you will to unstress yourself.
But no, you are.not.something i.would.look up upon.
1. Despite ur money and fame you have no confidence, things to prove to anonymous people etc.
2. We got our own lives to look after.
3. Celebrities that do not teach were a mistake.
>>2802807
Same anon.
Ps.
Gather the opinions, but also get out more. Travel and do different things and change the people you are with.
Again, I think you really shouldnt care so much about the opinion of anons, here or outside.
Let's settle this, /his/
Would you rather be Caracalla's imperial boytoy or Femme Napoleona's secret lover?
>>2802745
Napoleona. Not even a contest.
>>2802745
I'm literally in love with Napoleona.
Is it possible to meme her into existence?
Francophilia has gone too far.
What did she mean by this?
>>2802602
I mean, people are now taking this shit seriously, in a post-ironic kind of way.
>On 16 March 2016, an interpretation centre dedicated to the artwork was opened in Borja.
>>2802602
The curl at the top looks like shit in all three 2bh
I know she did a bad job, but the work really wasn't that notable in the first place.
What was smoking weed like in the 20s?
I would also like to know.
Wasn't it mostly used in Mexico at that time?
>>2802531
Real mellow.

>this is the largest BC empire in all of history
Thoughts?
>>2802516
>BC
Before Christ?
>largest
Land area wise, possibly. But Han dynasty would eat up Xiongnu as times goes forward a bit.
A rough sketch
>>2802516
>this is the largest BC in all of history
What did anon mean by this?
>>2802604
What are you smoking?
Both Han Empire and Xiongnu Empire existed around same time period, not 500 years apart.
The Xiongnu displaced an older Yeuzhi(Tochar) tribes people.
Did it work?
>>2802466
Worked for Trotsky.
>>2802466
If you want to get rid of a typo is a good solution to delete everything you have written? That's like how this was. Sure it stopped the effects of certain mental illness but that's because you just got rid of whole swaths of a persons mental capacities, or killed them in some cases. It was revolutionary for its time since it was the first psychosurgery developed but we have developed a long way since then.

Who was in the wrong here?
Super Mario had it coming.

>yfw 90% of people in the past were smelly illiterate malnourished manlets who died by the age of 30
Thank fuck i live in 21st century
>>2802424
They at least were guaranteed a wife
>MFW I smell nice, am properly nourished, and 6'0 and have become incel
>>2802437
Most women were probably hideous as well. The stench alone must've been repulsing.
>>2802446
If everyone was a manlet, then no one was a manlet. If everyone had a stench, then no one had a stench.
What should I read if I want to learn more about the Tui'tonga "empire" or really anything more about Polynesian history, preferably pre-European arrival?
Most if not all books I've found seem to be less about the civilizations and societies themselves, and more about what happened when white people came and their relations with foreigners.

Was probably too late for a sufficient answer last night

Also interested so I'll give this thread a bumb with some art.
Why does/his/ have such a hard on for an objectively mediocre president like Coolidge?
Kareem Abdul Jabbar
>>2802342
They're hipsters and like being contrarian. No one's heard of Coolidge, therefore he must be the best.
>>2802342
Are you literally so assmad that you made a separate thread?
If Stalin killed tens of millions of people, why didn't this make a noticeable dent in the population?
Why have most historians, including the famously right-wing Robert Conquest, admitted that Cold War estimates of 30 or 40 million victims were fraudulent?
>>2802335
If Americans genocided millions of indians, why didn't this make a noticeable dent in the population?
If Mao genocided millions of Chinese, why didn't this make a noticeable dent in the population?
If Hitler genocided millions of Jews, why didn't this make a noticeable dent in the population?
Because demography and population growth is more than just mortality.
>>2802335
Because ever since Soviet archives became available to the rest of the world in the 90s and early 2000s, estimates of the death toll attributable to Stalin's regime have fallen to the 5-10 million range.
>>2802353
Those all made sizeable dents in the population though.
