Yaoi Japan is better

>>2561942

Well it was sure different. I wonder how Japanese culture would look like if they developed completely independently in isolation.

Current Japanese culture is basically a copy and imitation of Chinese culture.

>>2561949
*Correction

Han-Tang dynasty Chinese culture

Modern Chinese culture is very different. Alot of Mongol-Manchu influence

Protestantism was the liberalism of its day.
Liberalism was the bolshevism of its day.
Etc.

>>2561851
>>wherever protestants become majority they start attacking catholics
i don't see anything bad about that

>>2561851
The only thing Catholics did wrong is not exterminating every single last one of protestards. If Spain and Austria weren't so inept and managed to beat upstart Kingdom of Sweden and join their forces against France.

Gutter crown was never worth it

>>2561835
It was beneficial for their rivals to have Germany not united.

>>2561873
This.

And when Germany was finally united, it disrupted the balance of power just as the powers of Europe always knew it would.

There is no 'In a nutshell'

like a lot of historical events, this was rather a culmination of lots of little things. I'm 23 and I still don't quite understand it. Maybe I'm just retarded.

People bought worthless shit thinking it would become more valuable. One day everyone kind of realised it actually was worthless. On that day the market value of their assets went from "a lot" to "nothing".

>>2561798
Businessmen.

Kill the value of things, buy up all real estate, resell them 1000000% mark up after economy stabalizes.

>>2561794

most likely they split because moscow wanted to tell bejing what to do, and bejing didnt want to become another satelite

>>2561794
Ideology is just an excuse

Mao didn't want to become governor of another soviet republic

>>2561816
>>2561822
So why did Mao not go the Yugoslav route and try and maintain neutrality? Why'd he basically sell out to the US instead?

Cao Cao did nothing wrong.

>muh benelovence

I would like this a lot more if every bit of media associated with it didn't use dumb fantasy armor

There is some continuity between the Chinese empires, but they were governed by many different peoples and dynasties, so to claim a continuation of a united Chinese Empire through all these years seems a bit like propaganda.

Would be the same if Italians claimed unbroken descendance from Roman Empire, or maybe even Greek.

>>2561707
It's bullshit, simple, tribal peoples of Neolithic Taiwan were completely different than modern Taiwan. You could just as well make a graph from similarly Neolithic cultures of Europe, or almost any other part of the world really, to "prove" that this culture is the oldest.

And if we consider Neolithic and modern Taiwan to be the same culture, there is no problem in moving even further back in time, to Palaeolithic times and "proving" that Africa is the oldest.

>>2561715
>but they were governed by many different peoples and dynasties
How did the different dynasties differ from, for example, the different Royal Houses of England (like the Tudors, the Stuarts, and the Hanoverians)?

>>2561721
I think the focus of the timeline was on the Chinese dynasties rather than the Taiwanese aboriginals, since the museum is broadly about Chinese historical artifacts taken from the Forbidden Palace when the Republic government escaped from the Communists.

>>2561656
Their first mission in Africa was a disaster, but overall they were very effective.

>>2561656
How are you defining "successful" in regards to special forces operations?

>>2563159
Completing their objectives and over all doing damage to the enemy.

Eskimos? Finns?

>>2561648
This is news to me. Well documented that Eskimos occasionally reached Germany in that era.

>>2561762
It's from a book I just got. The book is Christopher Columbus and the discovery of the Americas.

The illiterate normies certainly believed.

Youd pray to a war god and sacrifice a bull as a king to ease anxiety over a coming conflict for example to ease nerves and increase performance. Smoking the pot yourself rather than paying for a religous man to do it for you works just as well though. Fuck humanity is stupid

>>2561555
He was the educated elite, though. I'm certain most of the average Joes and Joseys believed.

>>2561406

Because they know that ludicrous sensationalism sells, both to their own readership AND to their opponents who will buy it just to see what it says.

>>2561406
What's wrong with that article?

>>2561424
Nothing unless your atheist parent told you that you were jewish

>Christianity is too mainstream for me guys, let me Wikipedia this obscure gnostic cult that died out a thousand years before my birth instead yeah... so meta and post-ironic XD

The classic contrarian 4chan autist

Picture it: A Manichean Middle East.

We wouldn't be dealing with all these fucking Muslims and their toxic religion today if the followers of Mani had already united the goatfuckers before Mohammad was even a twinkle in his daddy's ball sack.

>>2561372
Gnostic religions could never become popular enough, because people cannot stop worshipping the flesh. Even though they're more logical - gnostic dualism is the epitome of a logically built religious system, but people don't like being told that everything good they like is evil.

nope, lol

>>2561246
Yes, absolutely.

>>2561246

the bible is total historical truth so yes

Speculation: Napoleon expected a quick surrender by the Russians after capturing Moscow. Instead, he entered a city that was in ruins without resources in it and the surrounding region to feed and supply his army. He had no choice but to retreat west because time was against him and the logistical situation was a nightmare. Also, he could not destroy the Russian army because they kept retreating.

>>2561218
Bad bait.

>>2561270
This

Plus he had a habit of winning whenever the Russians did stand and fight.

Paleoanthropology is related to history, anon.
