What was the most metal culture and why was it the Aztecs?
You are right though. Those dudes ripped out peoples hearts just to please the gods.

Inuits ate practically nothing but raw meat unlike those berry picking aztecs. They also had the sickest shades.
>>2668420
sounds unhealthy. humans need vegetables and fruit more than meat.
When did Europeans become Europeans?
Perhaps during the Religious wars when the separation of Church and state began and the staple borders of Europe were established and throughout the Napoleonic wars and thereafter?
Was it during the centralization of the Catholic Church in the 11-13th centuries?
Was it after the fall of the WRE and post dark ages that followed the fall into the 7th century?
Was it during the Colonization of the northern Mediterranean in the bc700-1ad and possibly during the unification of the Roman Empire?
Do tell me /his/ I haven't the slightest.

The idea of Christendom ends after ww1
It was less European more colonial power, if you kept your colonies you were cool, if t.rks were raping you then you're clearly not worth saving
>Was it during the centralization of the Catholic Church in the 11-13th centuries?
yeap, but most scholars would like to ignore this fact because of their own biases. It's ridiculous that you can read entire textbooks on the history of europe with no mention of the holy sacraments.
probably the fall of the WRE and the rise of Islam, which divided the mediterranean and made francia the main power
Why does it seem like there are more famous red haired historical figures than blonde ones despite red hair being much less common?
I always thought it was interesting how king david had red hair yet I've never seen any modern jews with red hair.
>>2668181
Nordcucks never accomplished anything significant.
>>2668186
apparently yemenis have red beards, and its considered a sign of high breeding to have red hair for an arab

Hey, I'm new here. Just wondering if you consider Islamic rule over Spain and Sicily as somewhat positive? Note: I'm making a distinction between the earlier conquests and the conquests by the Ottomans, who had a history of despotism. Which isn't all that surprising given the fact that, well... THEY ARE TURKS LOL baka
Here is my conversation with a Sicilian friend.
Me: You mentioned the Islamic invasion of Sicily and there wasnt any rape?
> Him: No, besides some legends and tales there probably wasn't a lot of it. It was generally a pretty benevolent rule, the Berbers never abused or oppressed the natives. There were a lot of Islamic scholars that traveled to Sicily during that time, said it was a beautiful place. Talked about how Christian women and Muslim women dressed in the same fashion
Me: Was the hijab enforced on christian women?
> Him: I'm not sure if enforced if it just came about naturally. Technically the only thing required of Christians were they stood up when a Muslim entered the room and they couldn't be in the bathhouses at the same time as Muslims
Me: Muslims paid zakat, Christians paid jizya, higher
> Him: Yeah it was usually higher probably. I'd say the architecture from that period had Latin/Greek/Islamic elements. The Berbers were very liberal about womens rights as well during that time
Me: Liberal in what sense?
> Him: Women could inherit land and that sorta thing. Laws protecting widows and such I think. A lot of that stuff bled over into Norman Sicily as well. Sicily was probably one of the more functional multicultural societys, but instead of collapsing it sorta became homogenous over time

sure I think there was positive stuff. The modern muslim hate is all political bullshit. the positive thing about all religions throughout history is they unite a land and stop the fighting.
>>2668103
maybe it's more accurate to say they unite different tribes under the same creed.
>>2668106
>>2668103
I wouldn't say religion was something that "united" Iberia. It certainly united the early arab elites and their berber mooks that would rise up against them. Native leaders adopted Islam, but I'd say that had more to do with the nature of Medieval leadership: they were expected to be military dudes and they didn't want to pay tribute to some other guy, so they wouldn't want to be Christian sheep under Muslim occupators.
For most of the people, life prolly didn't change all that much. Sure, laws were diferent to an extent, but you are still paying into the same protection rackett that is lead by just about the same families, that just happened to take in foreign racketteers.
Can we end the whole "Bush Crime Family had ties with Hitler throughout WW2" bullshit.
1 Germany was one of the hugest industrial powers in Europe at that time, so of course American Companies had ties to Nazi Germany.
2 Hitler was viewed as bad yes but The Concentration camps and signs of mass genocide were near rumor tear until 44-45. Once made public American Companies pulled out.
3. War is the most profitable Industry so if you want to sit there and tell me that You being a company owner of depression time America pulling out of one of your most profitable assets because "welllll... hes kinda the enemy." then you are highly mistaken. America has been renown for doing business with its enemies throughout history and still does it today. so fuck off.

Moral was more important than numbers and equipment.
Is this statement true ?
>>2668086
Depends on the discrepancy of said numbers and equipment.
>>2668086
I assume you mean "Morale". And for a lot of warfare, yes. More modern sorts of warfare, not as much, but for pretty much everything pre 1870s, hell yes. Then again, numbers and equipment play a lot into morale; nobody wants to break and run when they think they have an easy victory ahead of them.
>>2668086
Certainly the case for the battle of Suiyang, and consequently the An Shi Rebellion.
