No. It's false soviet propaganda.

Yes, but by and large it was justified.

No one really knows

Maybe not the best general but he was a savage and pretty cool.

Yep
Faggots like Wellington would never have taken part in musket and bayonet combat on the first line with the men like Ney did

I'm Michel Ney, and welcome to Jackass

>>2490740
Why is this faggot paraded as a great hero and kebab remover again?

All he did was win one battle, which was more like a sneak attack that still ended with his Kingdom falling into Ottoman hands and him fleeing after he got his ass handed to him by his little brother. Only to be imprisoned by the King of Hungary because the guy stole all the money the Pope sent to Vlad for his "Crusade" and used on himself.

Hello, my name is Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre

And Welcome to Jackass

Like most revolutionary and end-of-history ideologies (even though the term itself didn't exist then, the concept would not have been unfamiliar to the revolutionaries) the participants in the French Revolution believed their victory to be not just eventually inevitable, but assured right-the-hell-now.

So why not declare war on everyone who didn't immediately fall in line? Your cause was assured of victory by being Right.

Yes, obviously. Both European and Islamic civilizations derive directly from the same sources, primarily Sumer and Greece.

most "300 rant" vidoes subtext is that America has more in common with Persia than with Greece

what with being multiculti merchants who got most of their empire through trade and diplomacy and can't even take down a small country with a group of insurgents.

>>2493835
>From a global historical perspective, should Middle Eastern civilizations be considered part of Western Civilization?
Sorry bud. You need to be European to be Western. Better luck next time.

It's fun, but inaccurate and unbalanced.

Great wanking material though.

I've never learned ck2, how so?

Inferiority complex, they're jealous of their own perceived flaws so project it on who they view as superior.

Because of a large Franco-Gaulish userbase.

/his/ is essentially a French board at this point.

Hitler

hitler, germany wasn't even a thing anymore by the time he was done. the other two had their share of fuck-ups, but at least their countries didn't disappear.

>>2492647
Why? Both Mao and Stalin individually killed more civilians.

By what metric is he worse?

>>2492648
Does this mean that his decision to go to war alone was the reason he's a worse leader?

>In the year 2017, most people are still taught in school that Columbus discovered America.

source?

>>2491132
I think that the viking theory is tought as well and it is generally well known. But its really not that significant. After all ''native'' Americans discover the continent even earlier when migrating from asia.
What's significant about Colombus is that it lead to the unification of historical narrative between the old and new world and had immense influence on world history. The viking settlement is just a curious incident that had no continuation.

>>2491132
vikings coming to america is pretty cool but its completely inconsequential. Literally nothing came of it. The phrase "columbus discovered america" should be retired, but his arrival is far more important than that of the norse settlers.

whites created institutions deliberately intended to weaken the countries they ruled. It's not unlike what happened to the American Natives- do you see them living well due to western colonization?

>>2486103

What do you think of African nations that have had no colonial rulers and are essentially a mix of stone age and modern technology with dysfunctional governments?

>>2486092
I understand that the European powers that ruled Africa for a while were cruel sometimes, but didn't they also provide infrastructure and things that also helped African countries? Didn't the Europeans bring technological advancements to the countries they conquered?

People do not respect goodwill. People shit on goodwill.

Humans strive for their well-being one way or another.

>>2495092
History has proven that people want all the benefits of freedom without the responsibility. It has also proven that people don't like to be told the truth, even those..no, ESPECIALLY those who say they do want it.

So the best way to govern is to give the illusion of freedom while in reality a heavy handed approach is implemented, but given flowery names for oppressive systems and giving people choices that they'll be glad to have, but will never use out of sheer apathy.

People want to do as little as possible and get a cookie for it.

Jews included the great flood story from Sumeria and made it their own.

Yes, the man who discovered it lost his shit.

1. Flooding was a constant problem in ancient times. It makes sense why ancient folk came up with a myth involving it.

2. Ancient Hebrews incorporated the flood myth during the Babylonian captivity when they mingled with other Near Eastern cultures. In addition the flood myth, they also incorporated the myth of Sargon of Akkad's birth into their beliefs, retooling it as the myth of Moses's birth.

>>2494918

Flooding is what enabled agriculture.

Grains plants are adapted to take over when all other plants die in the flood.

>>2494788
What do you mean western?
I don't consider America western.

Are the Balkans not western because of the Turks?

Is Iberia not western because of the Moors?

>>2494799
No, because those guys weren't n the same situation the Russians were.

Those guys are western, its just Russia that is not.

It doesn't really matter if it's fake though.

Leopold 2's reasoning

because britain had a navy that the germans couldn't come close to competing with and everybody knew it. also hitler viewed the slavs as sub-humans slated for extinction anyways, so lebensraum in the east was in their view hitting two birds with one stone.

>>2492781
What does Britain's navy have to do with it? Make a deal with the French to hand over France's colonies, make peace with Britain.

Then send in the German settlers to colonise from Algeria to Mali.
