How did Uralics prevail against Indo-Europeans, whilst Paleo-European languages and other pre-IE European language families perished?
42 posts and 8 images submitted.
>>
>>2570738
Because Uralics expanded from their Asian homeland post-IE colonization of Europe.
>>
Paleo-Europeans were either too stupid to advance themselves or too matriarchal/feminist to care about getting ethnically replaced.
It's not surprising they didn't make it.
>>
>>2570738
Uralic lived in shithole areas where no one else lived

Farmers lived in advanced societies in contact with others

Though I agree he's an amazing scientist and deserves more recognition that Edison and Einstein, but he should've released that technology for the good of the world instead of holding on to it for his own pride and monetary gain.

Literally the exact opposite. He repeatedly butted in on High Command's plans, and that's why he was successful. High Command wanted a WW1 redux.

Why did Europe (specifically Western and Northern Europe) drift away from Christianity and religion in general? What caused this? Are they content with the idea there might not be an afterlife or some kind of being watching over them?

I think that specific train of thought is depressing.

>Why did Europe (specifically Western and Northern Europe) drift away from Christianity and religion in general? What caused this?
An extreme form of individualism, to the degree the family unit dissolved, led religion to be separated from its practices and as such reduced to a factual statement, either Christianity is true or it's not. And a lot of them simply don't believe in God while still using Church services. A lot of people also believe in "something higher" that's not the Christian god.
>Are they content with the idea there might not be an afterlife or some kind of being watching over them?
No but that's reality

"A History of Charles the Great" - J.I. Mombert

Covers Charles Martel, Pepin the Short, and Charles the Great all in one great collection. Politics, religion, law, war, and other usual topics are covered in great detail my Mombert. He also provides some neat translations to primary source material.

The Carolingian Renaissance is something interesting to look into. It helps counter the idea that the "Dark Ages" were nothing but bleak and destitute.

The Bulgarians were able to defeat the Byzantines and Mongols simultaneously under this peasant-turned-rebel. They should really make a big-budget movie about his life.

Does anybody have any good resources for learning both?

Classical greek is to modern greek as latin is to italian, spanish, french.

Just thought I'd clear that up.

With a basic knowledge of Ancient Greek and Latin you can really up your Jeopardy game.
Latin is also helpful while traveling Europe, you'll recognize the basis of many word s.

It's the decline of the ecological systems and climate that makes agriculture work that is going to make it collapse.

give everyone in the empire roman citizenship. create smaller provinces with in the WRE. that are governed by Republic style governments. though the provinces are still beholden to the Emperor in Rome. stop being a dick to the germanics.

The germanics wanted what rome had but not to be ruled by roman emperors. since the emperors treated the ones in the empire like shit.
