Most of those seem humanities related as >>2766582 said. The biggest problem /his/ has is the endless spew of *blocks your path*-type of threads that are only related to history or humanities because it has some historical figure as its picture which end up not contributing fuck all to the board.

Without the Battle of Britain Germany would have retained a large section of the Luftwaffe, making the airlift during Stalingrad successful, thus winning the war.

Have there been any actual examples of a hero being rewarded with the hand of a princess in marriage?
Particularly one who wouldn't already be in a position (socially speaking) to marry said princess even without the supposed heroism.

Yes and no.
Yes in the fact that those are the things people focus on because they are contemporary.
No in the sense that these were all contributing factors and Rome didn't fall because of any one reason.

Whats the point of going to school to learn about history? It seems like you could learn it just as well by yourself if you're disciplined and you can focus on whatever you want stress-free.

Depends on what you want out of it. If you want a piece of paper saying you've learned real good, go to school. If you just want to know a lot of cool shit, just read a bunch, listen to podcasts, and watch TV.

Even if Egyptians weren't black they were mixed like latinos. This already proves white supremacists wrong.
It wasnt germanics or meds who started the important civ. It was mixed people like the Egyptians

Are you aware of this phenomenon? In the 19th century, soon after the invention of photography, it became a custom for people to take photographs of their dead. Often, these photos were the only ones that were able to be taken of these people, due to how expensive photography was at the time. This practice still exists for some people, but it has largely fallen out of mainstream fashion by the mid-20th century.

Yes. My family takes photos of relatives in their coffins. I didn't know this was unusual until I was a teenager and a friend came to a cousin's funeral with me and did this dramatic horrified gasp when someone in the family took a photo.
Although, most images described as Victorian post-mortem photos are not actually of dead people, since people have (thanks to dubious websites) mistaken the results of limitations of early photography its corrections/fixes as being dead people.

A lot of people may describe this woman as dead, yet others claim that she is alive in this photograph. She was a burn victim, apparently.

Why should Kurdistan exist if it has never existed in centuries? No country called Kurdistan has ever existed to my knowledge. There's only the people who whine about it to this day.

>Why should Kurdistan exist if it has never existed in centuries?
It shouldn't. Kurds are nomads. It would be illogical for nomads to have a sovereign states in a modern sense. Perhaps if we lived in the time of Genghis Khan it would make sense.
>>
>>2764961
>Why should it exist
If the Kurds can prove they can provide a stable government in the region, it would actually be a positive. The Kurds already hold a decent amount of northern Iraq and have been governing it pretty well.
>Why shouldn't it exist
It could pull the US into a second Israel like situation of an established country being hated by all of its neighbors.

Why should America support it? Jews in America (not /pol/ and not memeing) have historically been very powerful and have had the strongest lobbying groups as well as the media and government.
Kurds are just some brown strangers to the American people

I understand that this may come across as "babby's first existential dilemma". But this is honestly something that concerns me.
When I am reading history, how do I know that I am reading truth? How could I prove, for instance, that the Whiskey Rebellion in 1791 actually happened? Or that Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC? We have to go off of historical accounts, but aren't accounts always influenced by propaganda? And the person writing it down always has their own agenda, do they not?
Whenever I'm reading history, there's always this nagging feeling that it may not be 100% true and that certain parts of the story have been colored or altered. Is there any way to get over this fear?

its never 100% true
you have to find more than one reliable source , which takes a long and arduous time to do
then you take those sources and you make your own assumption
