Monotheism was a mistake.

Literally and figuratively this.

Latin + Welsh

The longest union in European history (1385-1795). Captured Moscow. The noble democracy actually worked for most of its history but bad political decision led to its downfall. The eastern region was like the Wild East with Poles, Ruthenians, Cossaks and annual Tatar attacks. The richest noblemen were more powerful than kings at least in those parts. Radziwiłł was probably the most famous with one of them famous for "selling" the country to the king of Sweden. His descendant was JFK's brother-in-law and another one is a minister in the Polish government.

A neat one. The guy who captured Moscow (Stanisław Żółkiewsk) died in a battle with Turks 10 years later. There was an inscription on his grave which read: exoriare aliquis nostris ex ossibus ultor (May you arise an avenger from our bones)

His great-grandfather was Jan Sobieski. The king of the Battle of Vienna fame.

does that make them the only European country in history to succeed in taking Moscow? Neat.

What's their version of a divine mandate?

People with guns

Uniforms are great for making it harder to shoot your own people

>>2670480
Guns from this time were so short range that camouflage was of limited value (only useful in dense forests and whatnot).

By the time you get to the mid-19th century however, rifled barrels make bullets far more accurate, and armies should considered making uniforms more discrete.

>>2670518
Friendly fire is a big no-no. Despite what /pol/ says, you can't reliably tell a Pole from a German, or Russian, or whatever just by looking at them.

>>2670546
as for friendly fire i know it must have been hard, i read about the battle of Wagram and how the Saxons had similar uniforms to the Habsbirgs and how the French fired on them when retreating, did the uniforms play a big role when it came to smoke? I keep hearing that smoke was crazy intense in battles those days but a lot of films and reenactments don't seem to make that justice.
I always thought that the hats were made tall and intricate not only to look intimidating but also to easier tell apart friend from foe, this correct?

I'm pretty sure that seizing 'living space' from the east was one of Hitler's major goals. He was going to attack the USSR no matter what.

>>2670432
But either scenario would require Hitler to be less retard than he is.

>>2670432
Neither. 2 is less wrong, as Satlin had never particularly shown himself willing to embark on risky adventures like that, but if Hitler doesn't launch an attack, sooner or later you get atomic fire in Berlin, which loses the war if he doesn't lose to the Western Allies in a more conventional sense.

According to Jesus the end will be during the life time of his disciples.

So no, we are not in the end of times. That was in the first century and nothing actually happened.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

Everything outside of Java had always been pretty slow. But again, it's mostly tropic weather + not much war. Indonesians are more like farmers

That's literally what he did. Throughout his whole campaign he promised he wouldn't immediately abolish slavery. The south seceded because EVER ending slavery was unacceptable to them.

>naval combat from roughly 1930-1950

do you mean ships being torpedoed/bombed by aircraft? because that's mostly what happened. ship to ship fighting is quite uncommon in that time period

Roman Auxilia are not all mercenaries, some are indeed part of a formal roman army. The Auxilia is basically the bit of the Roman army that isn't made up of citizens.

Roman Auxilia absolutely do get to fight. While some are indeed rear echelon, many others tend to be really good soldiers, fulfilling crucial roles the Legions don't do well.

For example: Romans can't fucking into cavalry to save their hides, so Imperial subjects who had good cavalry traditions tend to fill that role as auxiliaries.

>>2670137
They made up half of the Roman army. There were hundreds of thousands of them. They were made up of non-citizens recruited en-masse from inside or outside the empire. They tended to be used as the primary defence force on the frontiers e.g. Hadrian's Wall was manned by these dudes, while the legionaries were stationed in large fortresses in places like Eboracum and Deva. While most were just standard soldiers, usually armed with spears unlike the normal Roman troops, others performed more specialised roles that the Roman army was traditionally less successful with. Cretans and Syrians tended to be used as archers. People from the Balearics tended to be used as specialised slingers. Numidians and certain Gauls and Germans were used as powerful cavalry forces. At the end of their 25 year term an auxiliary would be granted Roman citizenship for themselves and their family, making it highly desirable as being a "peregrini" meant you did not have the same rights as a Roman citizen.

I'm guessing that's a mistranslation. Russian literacy was pretty low by European standards pre-WWI, and I'm guessing that Lenin was referencing literacy more broadly.

>>2670006
>Has this been verified

Well, your only citation is Richard Pipes, who says that he was told so by Jay Lovestone. Jay Lovestone is dead, as is Lenin, and the story is entirely anecdotal.

So unless you want to interrogate Richard Pipes to find out whether Jay Lovestone really told him that anecdotal story that may or may not be true, good luck comrade.

can someone explain this phrase for non-anglos?

He thinks he comes from a line of ancient aliens. Plus being autistic and into aliens will make you go crazy and have a thing for authority.

Haha literally nothing

Got absolutely BTFO by the Romans, became awesome in no time.

Got absolutely BTFO during World War I and got back on top in no time.

Got absolutely BTFO during World War II and ended up owning the entire EU on no time.

Even Hertzl was an unabashed germophile and declared them to be the best culture of Europe.
