What's the history of the relationship between Sudan and South Sudan? Should South Sudan be it's own nation or is partition a mistake?

Why have us Arabs never played the "anti-semitism" card? Or have we? I don't fucking know.
I dunno have you? Do you represent all Arabs?
>>2503499
I've just never seen an arab say "that's anti-semitic". Whereas everybody knows about how the Jews hit that button on the daily.
sorry habibi but the term "anti-semitism" is more about the ethnic group of jews rather than semitic people
which is obvious considering most Ashkenazi "jews" that like to fling that expression around have little to no semitic blood in them
which is why Arabs can't use it or these last 20 years would be worse than the shoah
ITT: the most evil so-called "people" in history
Before conscription was invented, how did rich people get other people to sacrifice their lives to make them even richer?
By threatening their lives, families and livelihoods if they didn't do it. Also paying their retainers. Also oaths of fealty were taken seriously (for the most part). People got up to shenanigans but you didn't just straight refuse to fight when called, it was your raison d'etre.
If you're referring to "peasant levies" you should read into that subject because they really weren't a thing, at any time, in the way they've been represented by the media
>>2502994
>they really weren't a thing, at any time, in the way they've been represented by the media
What do you mean they weren't a thing? In the sense that they were expendable, or in the sense that they didn't fight? Or in the sense that civilians weren't targeted?

The notion that the local lord were pressing peasants from their fields into service to act as cannon fodder is a misconception. Militias existed, but they were typically a feature of cities that had many people not engaged in farming, had some money for equipment and training, etc.
Lords were not filling out their ranks with peasant clods because a) they wouldn't have any ability at fighting, b) they would run at the first sign of trouble, and c) they were vitally important for working the land, and thus generating an income for their lord who relied entirely upon it because a lord is fucking expensive and they didn't generally engaged in any activities that generate a meaningful income themselves (leaving aside occasional shit like war booty).
So they way people are conscripted now doesn't really apply. Generally speaking the lord would use the income he derived from his peasants to pay and maintain a force of armed men whose job it was to fight for him, their only job, and consequently they could spend time practicing it and would therefore be useful. Hence "men-at-arms". They didn't need convincing, that was their profession. The peasants didn't need convincing because nobody was dumb enough to try to use them as line infantry.
>The United States was founded on diversi-
I don't think anyone has said it was founded on diversity, most people acknowledge that the natives and slaves were treated poorly for up until like 100 years, Irish were treated like shit in the 1800s, Italians were treated like shit in the early 1900s IIRC
The whole diversity thing, in the US and in general, has been a very recent thing
Also Pic related echos the same-ish sentiment as your pic OP
>>2501684
Chaos is founded upon diversity. The motto of the US is e pluribus unum: out of many, one.
The opposite of "diversity".
Neither are we a "nation of immigrants", as every single nation on earth is as such. The US is a nation of laws.

Nobody likes John Jay anyways. Too stupid to come up with something as brilliant as Judicial Review like Marshall, such a poor negotiator that the best he could do when trying to get British troops off of US clay was get the same fucking deal we'd already negotiated for at Paris, and had to be hard carried during the writing of the Federalist papers by Hamilton and Madison, who wrote 51 and 29 essays to his 5.
How could Austria-Hungary have survived?
>>2501346
Preserve the Ottoman Empire as a viable threat, which would bind most of the Slavs to the Austrian core much more firmly.
Do what they wanted to do and federalize.

Honestly the Habsburg state was done for with the rise of nationalism. Too many ethnicities under one umbrella
Why'd communism fail so badly? Is the problem inherent within the system?
Because it was based on a pamphlet by a Middle class Jewish NEET who really didn't know what he was talking about.
>>2500283
Yeah that makes sense. I heard that Marx never held a real job in his life.
comunism is so retarded that not even commies do it
what it failed was the USSR and it was socialist
How can other countries even compete?

So, where did the nails most likely go? How exactly does crucifixion kill? Why are these questions still basically unanswered today?
They have been answered you're just too dumb and incompetent to figure it out.
A thread died for this
>>2499224
Caspere knew that.
Nails go into hands (or possibly wrists) and feet.
Crucifixion usually kills the victim through bleeding to death, exposure, infection, dehydration, or suffocation due to muscle collapse.

There was a time before any states existed and all the land was free.
Then someone decided that he wants to own that land and told everyone else that he now owns the land and the other people were stupid enough to believe him.
>It has long been suspected that Hitler's conquest of Europe was an attempt to compensate for a lack of potency elsewhere.
>But the notorious playground rhyme about his testicles appears to have only told half the story, as a book claims the leader of the Third Reich had a micropenis.
>Hitler suffered from a condition called hypospadias which left him with an abnormally small manhood, according to historians Jonathan Mayo and Emma Craigie.

Now, I really hate to be in the position of standing up for Hitler, but this sounds like a manifestation of Britain's eternal butthurt about the Germans. How well-sourced is this book, anyway?
