instead of always asking why the Romans fell, we really should be asking how they stayed alive for so damn long?
how was the Roman government and state able to survive from the days of Cyrus the Great in Persia to the middle of the Italian Renaissance?

City state is my guess.

Both, though just because Caesar was a tyrant doesn't mean he was a bad ruler. He did many good things, but posed a threat to Senatorial elites and thus had to be rid of.

Well it was obviously a murder, tyranicide may be a justified murder but it's still straight up killing a dude.
If you mean was it justified, yes, absolutely, and Caesar himself would have approved. Those who grasps for absolute power always respect praxis over theories and fine rhetoric.

so at lecture, professor discussed the australoid race and mentioned indians are part of this race. he discussed the fascinating history of the australoid race and origins in south asia.
many classmates had no prior knowledge of the australoid race and felt lost in the lecture.
why does society still ignore the history of the australoid race?
Not much history.

It's pretty interesting how the Ainus from N Japan are genetically related being that far.

papuans lived in china until recently
Neolithic China was also ' Australoid '

Archaeologist Peter Bellwood claims that the vast majority of people in South and east Asia, the region he calls the "clinal Mongoloid-Australoid zone", are Southern Mongoloids but have a high degree of Australoid admixture.[40]
NE Asians are also related to Australoids, since prior to 10,000 years ago, Australoid populations characterized the human settlements of all of NE and SE Asia, all of the Americas and India.
latinos from the same period hold astroloid heritage/characteristics when you go back far enough.

Historical Facts that don't deserve their own thread.
I'll start: John. J. Pershing's original nickname was not "Black Jack" but "Nigger Jack", and he was named so not for his service with the 10th Negro Cavalry, nut for his personality and conduct as a West Point Instructor.
Jean Baptiste Bernadotte made a career starting as French commoner, officer in the French R Revolutionary army and ended up as King of Sweden as Charles XIV John of Sweden. To this day his descendants hold the title King of Sweden.
Alexander Selkirk was a Scottish privateer who was marooned on a deserted island for 4 years because his captain couldn't handle the bantz. He lived a marvelous life of adventure and danger, but died rather anticlimacticly of disease while sailing as a privateer years after being saved from the island, getting married, and becoming a small celebrity. He was buried at sea, with which I can only assume, was done without fanfare or dignity.
Alexander the great, Frederick the Great and Prince Eugene of Savoy where the top military commanders of their time, and gay to the bone.

What kind of warped view of the world would you have being historically ignorant? What is history like for normies?
WE WUZ
They all only care about the "cool" parts, like D-day or the Mongol Conquests, or the Crusades or dumb shit like that. They don't care about the machinations and major changes that history made.
But what do I know, I just play Paradox games.

Wikipedia - how good is it for learning about history?
If bad, what is a better alternative website that is also comprehensive?
>>2691476
they all are biased to a certain degree , best can do is read a couple of sources and establish a happy middle.
Sadly its time consuming
>>2691476
I'm not a historian myself but any collection of historical knowledge may have it's biases or in some other way be innacurate, evaluate any source that you find proving a claim on wikipedia, and use that source if you find it accurate in your paper/argument.
is ancient.eu good?
it's a shame there's nothing remoteely close to the stanford encyclopedia of philosophy but for history
