Was the institution of Druidism native to Britain or did it arrive with the Celtic migrations c. 500 BC? Caesar said that aspiring Druids would travel to Britain to study and we know that the beating heart of the institution was on the island of Anglesey in Wales.

Druids were known on the mainland too, and of course in Ireland.

Were the Romans really as degenerate as people say? Is there actually any truth to those legends?
>>2724496
Jewish propaganda.

Depends on your definition of degenerate. They were a lot more sexually liberal since bisexuality was tolerated.
According to Victorian Era archaeologists who had Victorian Era morals, yes
So a Quran is not to be destroyed, as far as I understand Muslims. But pigs are somehow impure.
Now what would happen if some artist decided to write an entirely correct and beautiful Quran with pig blood? How would Muslims react?
>>2724442
they would in some shape or form show how peacful their religion is.
Saddam Hussein actually had a Quran written with his own blood (because, sure, why the hell not) and Islamic scholars are at an impass. You can't destroy the Quran, but having it written with blood is straight up, grade A blasphemy that needs to be destroyed.
Religion is weird, man.
IIRC they bury flawed qarans, don't quote me though.
So they'd probably bury it and then stone you to death for being a dirty infidel.
How does one formally dissolve a government? Are legal documents drafted? How do I get into this business?
You just need to show up at the legislative branch place with some military escort and send everyone home
Most governments tend to base their legislation on the principle that they can't simply be dissolved. There are no legal mechanisms in place for such a procedure, and as a result if you want to do it it has to be forcefully.
The most basic step one can take in that direction, for countries like the US, at least, is the voiding of a Constitution and the drafting of a new one. If what you actually want really is to dissolve one civil system of government and substitute it for another in the most formal way possible, you start by doing that.

Why did France fight so hard to keep Algeria when it was full of Arabs that weren't culturally French and didn't want to be French?
Because it was full of Pied Noirs, and also they were butthurt about getting humiliated by the Germans and the Viet Minh.
>>2724121
It was 20% French
>>2724129
20% is a small minority

Paranoid fear of eternal damnation caused by oppresive father who forced him to study medicine. Pretty much the same as later with Luther (beaten unconscious by his daddy for stealing a nut) and Calvin (forced to study and practice law - one could say his father... predestinated him for it).

The history of Venice is so fucking interesting, it's impressive how long they managed to remain independent and even powerful.
Where did it all go wrong?

While America made a large contribution to WWII, why do so many people still think it was them going solo and toppling the Axis?
Hell, China's contribution in the Pacific Theatre is almost always forgotten or just footnoted.
Watching the [spoiler]Call of Duty[/spoiler] trailer's got me pondering this.
I don't think it's because of our history books. In several history classes I attended in both highschool and college, they gave ample credit to the Commonwealth and Soviets, making it clear that the Allies were a team effort, not just America with little tag-alongs no one cared about.
So if history books aren't giving the wrong impression, what's teaching people this Stateside?
The media and movies?
Is it taught or thought of differently for any of you British/Commonwealth or Russian anons?

>While America made a large contribution to WWII, why do so many people still think it was them going solo and toppling the Axis?
Who the hell thinks that? Even before I really got into history, my school, when we covered WW2, mentioned things like the Eastern Front and the Battle of Britain.
>Hell, China's contribution in the Pacific Theatre is almost always forgotten or just footnoted.
To be fair, China's contribution in the Pacific Front was mostly just forcing an occupation; one of the sticking points about Japanese surrender was not wanting to give back ground they still held in China.
>So if history books aren't giving the wrong impression, what's teaching people this Stateside?
Nothing's teaching it. People don't pay much attention in history classes, and what they do pay attention to mostly is stuff that affects them or people close to them. If you throw a bunch of facts at a bored, disinterested student, he's most likely to retain the ones about his own country.

I've talked to some people who didn't even know that Germany fought the Soviet Union, and these weren't stereotypical dumb redneck types.
>why do so many people
You mean "so many Americans?" Go to UK or anywhere else and listen to them talk about how they single-handedly won the war. It's not surprising that people overplay what was an American victory anyway.
And yes, it's the media and movies. No country in history has ever pumped out as much propaganda as the US, whether it's intentional propaganda or not is beside the point.
