West is a common surname.

Eastwood, Eastman, etc

USA was settled from east to west. If there were two guys named "Billy" the one who came first was just Billy, but the other needed an epithet to prevent misunderstanding. His house was often in west or north due to above so he would just be "Billy from the west" etc.

Catholicism and orthodoxy also emphases the end times.

Barring any major catastrophes, the past will more often than not seem better than the present to many because the older people get the less connected they feel with their modern society. When the younger generations come into power it can seem like they are living in a foreign country as youth brings new ideas and the lack of fear to try new shit.

>Barring any major catastrophes

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

I personally think a lot of religions probably started like that, its just its recent enough and records then were good enough that we know how much bullshit was involved

if you've got a history book at home, take it out, throw it in the bin - it's worthless

Why did the Soviets stick with a doctrine that called for multi-axial attacks long after field performance demonstrated that they couldn't handle those sorts of things, couldn't exploit them when they did work, and often just opened up to massive losses doing a bunch of half-assed attacks?

>>2492171
Also, do you have any idea why Soviet air doctrine placed so much emphasis on low altitude fighters and so little on high altitude? I'm still a bit flabbergasted that the Soviets preferred the Aircobra to all other American Lendlease planes.

>>2492195
Soviet Doctrine evolved significantly during the war you'll have to specify which part of the war you are referring to.

You are completely correct in stating the soviets had no ability to perform large scale, multiaxis attacks during the initial part of the war. This was mainly due to a lack of a proficient officer corp at all levels of leadership able to coordinate complex plans at either the tactical or the operational level.

Later in the war, particularly in 44 but as early as 42, the Soviets proved themselves to be very capable of performing attacks, but never saw breakthroughs on the same scale that the Germans did, primarily because a majority of the Great German breakthroughs in France and Russia came down to the tactical skill and experience of their lower officer corp(relatively speaking the German Higher Office corp was lacking) and a great deal of luck.

By the time the Soviet Army had regrouped and reorganized well enough to attack back in earnest, the Germans had learned very well how to defend, and even defend in paralyzing breakthrough scenarios using ad hoc units, once again thanks to their brilliant lower officer corp.

It's important to remember that the concept of WW 2 as a true mobile and maneuver war is a myth, and most of the war resembled the First World War, with large periods of immobility followed by frantic attacks. True mobility did not return until 44 when the Soviets mastered their art of war and crushed the Wehrmacht

Well, the nominally Catholic France also supported the Ottoman sultan against the Habsburgs.

>>2492161
>How does this affect your perception of Calvinists and the Netherlands?
Sensible, freedom-loving people who saw the Germanic and Catholic menace for what it was. If only we'd listened.

The Ottomans let you practice religions other than Islam, although you'd have to pay extra taxes and maybe have your kids drafted into the Janissaries. The Spanish response to religious minorities was either expulsion and forced conversion.

I'd pick the Turks too.

your abstract of the quran is scrappy

People were hungry for stories about this new holy man preaching things that made sense to people sandwiched between Jews, Christians, Samaritans, Buddhists, and Zoroastrians, and started making up conjecture and fanfiction about who he was and what he did, and then years later started taking them seriously.

It started millions of years ago when the mountains in Northern Italy began to grew and the Rhine Watershed came from that.
