If I'm done with Uni, homework, and actual work, and still manage to have time in my day, I take dabs and fuck my girlfriend.

Come to think of it, Celts were probably among top 3 losers in history as ethno-cultural group.
They were distributed across much of Europe and even Anatolia, now only few irrelevant nations remain.

Those aren't even nations, except Ireland

Maybe he wasn't extremely shallow like you.

How autistic was he?

>>2622083
he was executed 3 years later for that

He looks silly.

>>2621964
A true man's man can be silly when he wants and serious when he wants.

This isn't what Mussolini had to say at the end of WW2 and right before his death

>Yes, madam, I am finished. My star has fallen. I have no fight left in me. I work and I try, yet know that all is but a farce... I await the end of the tragedy and – strangely detached from everything – I do not feel any more an actor. I feel I am the last of spectators.

>Would there have been an India without Britain?

Yes but it would be a muslim majority country.

There are plenty of things worth knowing about India apart from colonial rule under Britain. India has a rich history, and is home to an old and unbroken line of tradition.

>Would there have been an India without Britain?

It's tough to say. But giving Britain full credit for creating "India" is silly.

>>2621981
This is completely false, the Marathas had defeated the Mughals well before the British launched their campaign.

>>2622028
What are some of India's proudest historical moments? Pre-British Raj, if I may ask.

How united were the Indian realms before European arrival?

Certainly, the french as we all well know are, when not being completely useless, the perfect target for an arrow loosed from the fine beam of an Englishman's longbow.

Does this guy hates the french or something? I don't know this dude

>>2621941
He's just very English, hating the French for no good reason is a tradition over there, i suppose it's an inferiority complex

>I shall not be able to relate an hundredth part of what could be told respecting these matters but I will endeavor to describe, in the best manner in my power, what I have myself seen; and imperfectly as I may succeed in the attempt, I am fully aware that the account will appear so wonderful as to be deemed scarcely worthy of credit; since even when we who have seen these things with our own eyes, are yet so amazed as to be unable to comprehend their reality.

>These people [Tlaxcalans], I know, have informed you that I possessed houses with walls of gold, and that my carpets and other things in common use were of the texture of gold and that I was a god, or made myself one, and many other such things. The houses you see are of stone and lime and earth. And then he opened his robes and showed his person to me, saying,
"You see that I am composed of flesh and bone like yourselves, and I am mortal, and palpable to the touch," at the same time pinching his arms and body with his hands; "see," he continued, "how they have deceived you. It is true I have some things of gold, which my ancestors have left me; all that I have is at your service whenever you wish it. I am now going to my other houses where I reside; you will be here provided with every thing necessary for yourself and your people, and will suffer no embarrassment, as you are in your own house and country."

>How comes everyone imagines the late medieval as feudal society and forgets about the Republics and City states of Europe?
Doesn't fit the anti-Western "le Dark Ages" meme.

>>2621796
Would city states be really different for the common man?

>>2621802
More likely people are just to stupid to point out Milan or Nuremberg on a map.

>>2621820
Yes, you had a lot of personal and political rights that was not available to common people in feudal societies.
you could vote, be voted into office, serve in the militia, and proudly bear arms. Also, personal freedom and economical freedom, like working a trade and so on.

Any history student with experience at top universities?

>>2621655
Study something proper. History is a hobby, not a job.

>>2621699
If they can get into any of those universities they won't struggle after graduating.

Absolutely nothing

This is why I love Elaine, such an inspiring intellectual.

Indigenous communities communing indigenously.

They're still doing their own thing, so I'd say a success.

The economy is mutalist and barter-based on a local level.

There's a reason you don't hear about it on tv,

No, it's more powerful and culturally relevant than ever. Millions of people from across the world are getting a Western education and being force feed Western values.

Ironically, the main force against western/enlightenment values are trumpsters and other reactionaries.

Depends on how you consider "the west".

Many consider its heyday to be 19th century colonialism, and this more overt power naturally appeals to /pol/tards more than economic and cultural hegemony.

I don't think it's dead, personally, but I also think the west will get eclipsed by the east within a century or two unless something goes terribly wrong in China/India.
