bc he was a french

>>2654887
He didn't really like the Arabs either though.

>>2654887
Algerian independence happened. Thought that if he played nice he could swing the other arab states around and get cheap oil. Even ended the military support of Israel after the 6day war because of this. Became too hard to diplomatically juggle both things.

I don't mind the guy and I can understand some of the choices he made before, but honestly this was one of the dumbest calls he made, arabs never reciprocated the gesture. Even 55 years on.

>engage in full retreat to the Rhine because your entire army fucking died gee who would have guessed that would happen maybe every single general you ignored telling you attacking now would be a bad diea

From everything I've read it's the truth. It was a battle that happened because the ego of hitler and stalin was on the line. Stalin would not let his namesake fall and committed to its defense. Hitler eventually commited the entire 6th army into the city proper. They repelled the majority of the russian advances but flanking units were turned and they were surrounded and eventually starved to surrender.

Ultimately russia had far too much weight in men and material for germany to have anything but pyrrhic victories after around '43. Plus they were being pushed on the western flank and would have cracked like a nut either way. If the 6th army was successfully withdrawn they would have been an invaluable force in the retreat from russia but would they have made a diff in the long run.

Who the fuck can say?

Kursk was the real turning point.

I know it sounds like a normie meme but it really was a turning point not just in the war but in the morale of all sides.

Both sides has stubborn leaders, had Hitler bypassed Stalingrad or instead devoted troops to the centre group things might have gone differently.

When I say stubborn I mean autistic. Hitler and Stalin were autistically obsessed with the city.

The food became fatter, cheaper,and more addictive as the work became less physical. There are more obese people in third world countries than there starving.

Economic instability and increasing knowledge of corruption.
Like, I literally think it would have worked better if the economy was more active. If that one thing was fixed the USSR would have no reason to split.

Which Rome? The early egalitarian Rome or the unsustainable Rome held up by conquest and slavery?

>>2654143
Professional armies require large economies of scale. Even Rome didn't have a professional army until the Marian Reforms.

>>2654143
Sulla, Marius, Caesar etc etc.

the problem of a standing army is obvious.

You're the one crying that a book isn't pro-nazi enough for you whenever every non-muslim outgrows the edgy nazi phase after 16.
