I found pic related while metal detecting in Northwest France, looks like a bronze ring but I can't see any inscription on it, any idea of what it is and how old?
Also /detectorists/ thread
It's a piece of a behelit.

>Repeated French efforts to annex the left bank of the Rhine started with the devastating wars of King Louis XIV. French forces were carrying out massive scorched earth campaigns in the German south-west. These politics were fully implemented during the Napoleonic Wars and the creation of the Confederation of the Rhine in 1806–1813. In the two centuries from the Thirty Years' War to the final defeat of Napoleon, the German inhabitants of lands by the Rhine suffered from repeated French invasions.
>The demise of Napoleon gave the Germans some respite, but during the Rhine Crisis of 1840, French prime minister Adolphe Thiers advanced the claim that the Upper and Middle Rhine River should serve as his country's "natural eastern border". The member states of the German Confederation feared that France was resuming these designs.

Why does the Eternal Gaul lust after the Rhine so much, to the point of causing world wars for it?
To restore the limes as is the sacred duty of the restored Western Roman Emperor Charlemagne and his successors.

Because they wanted easy to defend natural borders, since they could never get the west bank of the lower Rhein, they had to settle with creating buffer states.

Because they were stolen from her
believe it or not, Stalin was considered a moderate among the old Bolsheviks, the question is: what if Stalin was killed or ((((died))) between 1917 and 1924, (((Sverdlov))) or (((Trorsky))) were the strongest candidates to lead the USSR, would the USSR have become any better, peaceful or stronger under their leadership? would socialism still have influence today?
>>3345592
>would the USSR have become any better, peaceful or stronger under their leadership?
No, STalin was the only thing that prevented (((them))) from taking the power and ruining everything.
>would socialism still have influence today?
It still has.

Trotsky was a major fanatic of the "permanent revolution" and wouldn't stop until communism is the only form of government in the world. Under him USSR would fund communist uprisings (the same way Russia now funs extreme right) in Europe.
World War 2 would still happen but now instead of "everyone vs nazis" it would've likely been "capitalist sphere vs communism sphere".
Germany would've likely been full communist with Nazis being the main underground source of resistance and fascism would've been a much stronger as the western Europe would've likely gone full Mussolini as reaction to the commies.
Ironically chances are the world war 2 would've been even bigger, bloodier and all around worse if Trotsky was at the helm of the USSR.

Yes for french and british colonies
not indefinitely, though it would have been better off with a more gradual decolonization instead of the mess that happened IRL, maybe transferring authority to civilian government through the 50s, developing the economy in the 60s and developing a national army in the 70s before finally granting full independence in the 80s as the cold war came to a close
It still is under colonial rule. Not directly, but Africa's modern history is basically a game of blockbusters between the Capitalist US and the Communist China. They would have been better of left alone.

Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres
Quarum unam incolunt Belgae aliam Aquitani
Tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae nostra Galli appellantur
Ave Caesar morituri te salutant!
Over Europe rumble legions' heavy boots
Foretelling the inevitable end of Republic
Hills of Galia rot in shed blood
While Julius Caesar composes his memoirs
Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres
Quarum unam incolunt Belgae aliam Aquitani
Tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae nostra Galli appellantur
Ave Caesar morituri te salutant!
"Let us, oh Caesar, when we conquer the World
Rape, rob and fulfill all desires!"
The simple wishes of soldiers never change
And Julius Caesar prohibits no fun
Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres
Quarum unam incolunt Belgae aliam Aquitani
Tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae nostra Galli appellantur
Ave Caesar morituri te salutant!
New order civillizes conquered nations
Crosses rise from Nile to Rhine
In cry, protest and scream World weeps
And Julius Caesar polishes his style

We waited for this day so long
With restless hope in our spirits
When silently Comrade Stalin
Moved the pawns on the map
A scream was heard on the border
And before it vanished, cannons roared
In the fight with a speed of thunder
Red Army marched!
What is this story?
Amazed asks Europe
How come? - It's the Molotov's boys
And Ribentropp's allies
Their path is marked with victories
And the flag of liberty basked in glory
With the heads of Polish landowners
They pave the Ukrainian roads
Podolia falls, Volyhnia gives tribute
People sing the praise of new law
Churches and palaces are in flames
And Christ - with a bullet in the skull
Over the battlefield two hands will rise
And clench in fist that brings awe
The infinite children of Stalin
Hitler's victorious litter
Bastard of Versailles is off the maps
Now free are Jews and Belarussians
No more will Polish hand
Strike them again in wrath
New freedom is hailed by Pravda
World now knows the news
That one standard carries
Star, Sickle, Hakenkreuz, Hammer
History won't forget these days
when Old World stood in shock
And your children will remember
After 1st September - the 17th
Haitian Cannibalism
To quote a case or two of these judicial attempts at punishment:
-A woman and her daughter, convicted red handed at Jacmel of killing and eating a child, were mounted on asses and beaten arond town by the police with cocomacaque clubs. Afterwards they were released.
How does one explain such light punishment for cannibalism in late 19th century, early 20th century Haiti?
In the other described case the culprits were only punished by being jailed for a few days.
Probably because their government is corrupt and doesn't want to change shit without money?
>>3345342
>cocomacaque clubs
Aren't people supposed to be cursed to die the next day after being beaten with such clubs?
>>3345346
You missed the point. The said people were punished but their crime was treated as a light offense.
It just seems to me that Haitians still believed cannibalism was normal back then which is disturbing to think about.
E.g.
1. Don’t march on Moscow.
2. Don’t go fighting with your land army on the mainland of Asia.
3. Never fight an Anglo at sea
4. Never chose Tactics over Strategy
5. Ect...

I never got this one. What about every asian empire ever? And Asia is the land of empires.
