What the fuck happened to the Lost Colony at Roanoke?
>>2641900
Injuns.
they either defected to the natives or were killed by them
>>2641912
Yeah, but not as in "wiped out by Indians", but "mixed with Indians".
The reports of blue eyed Indians later only make sense if some white people mixed with them.
what would it take to move everybody out of Italy and have it roped off as an archeological dig site?
Think of all the endless treasures that reside buried all over Italy. But noooo, we cant find out more about the ancients cuz theres a bunch of people living on top of centuries of treasure.
do you want Italians in your country,op?
>>2641936
Send them to China
Fuck off. Do that in Greece instead. The history of the Italian city-states is just as important as history of Rome.
Were Carthaginians white or black? What was their origin?
Look at someone from modern Tunisia and that's probably what Carthaginian would have looked like
>>2641788
You mean Lebanon
>>2641788
That and Lebanon, the homeland of the Phoenicians.
>when you realize neither Romans nor Carthaginians won the Second Punic War but Massinissa
>>2641764
Jesus I know of Phyrric victories but the casualty imbalances are staggering. How is the battle of Cannae not a crushing, decisive victory?
>>2641798
because it didn't crush romans strategically
>>2641798
Because the Romans had an almost limitless source of manpower, while every casualty Hannibal took was another soldier he had to get over to Italy from North Africa.
Disregarding the implausibility of a successful Operation Sealion, what would a German occupation of Great Britain have looked like?
>>2641708
Like the occupation of the Channel Islands.
>>2641726
Not exactly helpful.
>>2641708
The same as it looked in Vichy France.
A puppet friendly government.
Hitler didn't want to directly control either country, he just wanted to invade Poland and reunify the German Empire with the lands severed away at Versailles, with maybe a little Lebensraum at the expense of the Soviets as a prize for winning.
Which of them is the most influential?
>>2641705
i only recognise jesus, so him
>>2641705
Jesus made the other two, so I'll stick with Jesus.

>1. Just be nice :^)
>2. Literally who?
>3. Why I'm right and also why I should be king of everything, cuz I'm right and also sex lotteries should be rigged to my benefit.
What do you admire the most of the Roman Empire, /his/?
>>2641702
It's size and girth, how it was able to penetrate history to the hilt.
>>2641702
Its multiracialism
Its diversity and plurality of views.
Was the reformation really a good idea?
Yup.
It made for a pretty nice excuse to break vows of celibacy and steal church property.
The corruption of the church proves it was a man-made institution and not the church of Christ
Europe was born again christian with the reformation
The more i think about it, the more the Islamic version of Jesus' story seem to make sense
Let's see the Christian version of Jesus
>Is god
>Is also the son of god
>Was crucified by the romans and Barabbas was the one who was set free
Muslim version
>Is a prophet sent by god
>Was saved by god from being crucified (And barabbas was the one who got crucified)
And here's a couple of question
1.If jesus is god, then how could he die?
2.If jesus is the son of god, how could god let his son die?
3.how can god be his own son?
Christianity as a whole doesn't make sense.
The religion isn't complete due to the jews '''killing''' jesus before his teachings were complete.
Also the whole cross thing, it's just silly and insulting, imagine if they wanted to execute him by hanging would the christian sympol be a noose?
>>2641628
Read about the trinity.
>>2641628
>If jesus is god, then how could he die?
By putting a [word meaning the equivalent of "piece" but not actually since saying that would trigger trinitarians] of himself into a bodily shell of organic molecules the same way humans have a soul in a bodily shell of organic molecules. Anything that is alive in the universe can die if you mess it up, Joshua's body was no different.
>If jesus is the son of god, how could god let his son die?
Yahweh delights in blood offerings. He didn't "let" Jesus/Joshua die, he sent him down specifically to die. Maybe he felt guilty about his actions up until that point. We know he can feel remorse because he regretted even creating humanity up until the Flood. Becoming Joshua and doing unto himself what he had done onto others may have been his way of apologizing.
>how can god be his own son?
By putting a [word meaning the equivalent of "piece" but not actually since saying that would trigger trinitarians] of himself into a bodily shell of organic molecules, and retaining the experiences he had while human.

>Obsession with being on the defensive
>>2641565
Their army's doctrine was shit, designed for a plodding defensive war in an era where that whole idea was obsolete. By the BOF they outmatched the Germans in numbers and quality of tanks and artillery, but they didn't use it effectively at all. A lot of the artillery was parsed out in static positions Germany bypassed, and most of their tanks were parsed out in infantry units rather than grouped together for decisive breakthroughs (even Japan knew this). As a matter of comparison, France had ~3,000 tanks to Germany's ~2,400 in the battle, but Germany had 10 well-organized armored divisions to France's 6 patchwork ones.

Im not an ooga booga, am I supposed to be scared?
>>2641571
Of course. Your pathetic country's army has been defeated by the Redcoats many times.
>>2641554
I'm your best ally, no need to worry.
>1945
>Majority of allied population sees soviet population as a hard-working and brave population which sacrificed and suffered so much
>10 years later
>soviet population vilified and feared by allied population
How did allied governments manage to sway their people to such a radically different opinion of ordinary people which suffered so much?
I understand dehumanizing the commie governments, but why the people?
To contrast, the soviet population did vilify the western governments and military, however saw the western population as peers who deserved the same respect just as anybody else.

>In4 /pol/
>The Soviet doctrine explicitly stated that Germans are a decent hard-working nation of proletarians who merely got "seduced" by the capitalist fascists - contrary to the vile, rabidly Germanophobic crap of the western allies (Germany the eternal aggressor nation, all Germans guilty forever, Hitler merely a symptom of German militaristic culture etc.) I remember seeing an old 1950s or 60s West German propaganda brochure which basically insinuated the DDR is the successor of the Third Reich where "Hitler's spirit is still alive."
Hmmm
>>2641561
>West German propaganda brochure which basically insinuated the DDR is the successor of the Third Reich where "Hitler's spirit is still alive."
That's funny, the DDR were saying the same thing about West Germany
>The Bundeswehr is basically Wehrmacht 2.0 goyim
>1945
>they just helped you win a war that millions of your people died in
>10 years later
>you are in a global war with them over ideology
Comes naturally bud, the government didn't have to brainwash anyone. You love your allies, hate your enemies

Recently I've been interested in the politics of Europe with regards to royalty and different kingdoms taking others' thrones. The War of Spanish Succession and such interest me. I'm not knowledgeable about this subject. Can we get a thread going about this subject?
You'll have an amazing time when you hear about The Hundred Years war
>convincing a bunch of soldiers to fight and die, so that one rich guy can be in charge instead of another rich guy
how did the nobles at the time convince people to do this?

Pre-Mongol Islam was actually a pretty good time to be alive in the Middle East. Prove me wrong.

Judging by the dates in that picture, it was worse to live during the Carolingian renaissance than to be used as a living brick in Timur the Lame's human tower. Sure thing mate.
