>that are more about "how" and"why"

But that opens up the problem of bias and faulty opinion weighing in on interpretation.

>>2398297
This. You enter the realm of opinions the moment you decide to ask how and why. That is not what Historians are supposed to do.

>You enter the realm of opinions the moment you decide to ask how and why.
wat..writing a narrative is exactly the same as saying "how something happened and why" just not taking into account larger things outside the characters discussed

Americans are living the matrix. We aren't bio-batterie, but we're walking mints. At birth, the gov takes out a loan against out SSN. We slave away for years while the gov collects the tax.

This is because (most of) /his/ is contrarian and hates actual history, instead choosing to spout memes and inform people that they should return to either reddit or /pol/ if they make an actual point.

Day of wrath and doom impending,
David’s word with Sibyl’s blending!
Heaven and earth in ashes ending!

O what fear man’s bosom rendeth
When from heaven the Judge descendeth,
On whose sentence all dependeth!

Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth,
Through earth’s sepulchers it ringeth,
All before the throne it bringeth.

Death is struck, and nature quaking,
All creation is awaking,
To its judge an answer making.

Lo! the book exactly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded;
Thence shall judgment be awarded.

When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unavenged remaineth.

What shall I, frail man, be pleading?
Who for me be interceding,
When the just are mercy needing?

King of majesty tremendous,
Who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us!

Think, kind Jesu, my salvation
Caused Thy wondrous Incarnation;
Leave me not to reprobation.

Faint and weary Thou hast sought me,
On the Cross of suffering bought me;
Shall such grace be vainly brought me?

Righteous Judge! for sin’s pollution
Grant Thy gift of absolution,
Ere that day of retribution.

Guilty, now I pour my moaning,
All my shame with anguish owning;
Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning!

Through the sinful woman shriven,
Through the dying thief forgiven,
Thou to me a hope hast given.

Worthless are my prayers and sighing,
Yet, good Lord, in grace complying,
Rescue me from fires undying.

With Thy favored sheep O place me,
Nor among the goats abase me,
But to Thy right hand upraise me.

While the wicked are confounded,
Doomed to flames of woe unbounded,
Call me with Thy Saints surrounded.

Low I kneel, with heart submission,
Crushed to ashes in contrition;
Help me in my last condition!

Ah! that day of tears and morning!
From the dust of earth returning,
Man for judgment must prepare him;

Spare, O God, in mercy spare him!
Lord all-pitying, Jesu Blest,
Grant them Thine eternal rest. Amen.

The Japanese fleet witness the incoming meteor and the blast on the horizon but the Kidō Butai is unscathed and proceeds to carry out the strike as planned but when the carrier strike planes reach Pearl Harbor, all they find is a smoking ruin - what do they do?

The entire Hawaiian Islands are wide open to attack but the Japanese fleet doesn’t have the men to land any kind of effective invasion force (how long until Tokyo can get Imperial Army forces to the islands to occupy them?) but they can tear up everything in sight all around the Hawaiian Islands.

The other Japanese attacks (such as against the Philippines) are carried out as in the OTL and the Japanese embassy in D.C. delivers the declaration of war against the U.S. but I’d think the opportunity to seize the Hawaiian Islands would to be too good of a opportunity (indeed, a divine opportunity) to pass up.

And what does the U.S. do? As per the OTL, the U.S. Navy carriers are out to sea and survive the meteor strike but everything in Pearl Harbor is gone and all that’s left in the Hawaiian Islands are small scattered units. Word coming back to the States is that everything was destroyed in one massive explosion - would the U.S. think it’s a Japanese super weapon (would the Japanese claim that?) or would scientists figure out it was a meteor?

>>2397374
Go to the request board for sources.

As for how a captain becomes a privateer, well, he gets on contract with a crown to harass and plunder another nation's navy/colonies.

Captain Morgan, for instance, was on contract with the British crown to do as much damage as possible and collect as much treasure as possible in the Spanish colonies of the Caribbean, particularly Panama.

Morgan ended sacking Panama City and burning it to the ground with a small bunch of half-naked, half-starved, and entirely drunken sailors, many of them French or African freed slaves.

He got shipwrecked three times, made it back to England, was knighted, and died far and rich in his bed as governor of Jamaica.

Already happened.

>>2397067
Not in modern times.

The West is the dominant power and, for the important parts of it, stand strongly with the principles of individualism and with the contract theory of government. I'm only saying this because I assume you're talking about the Empire rather than the Republic, which itself was not exactly like the the republics of today, but that at least has a chance of being adapted.

As for post apocalypse, anything is possible when most people are dead.

different

Well for a start, the Roman Empire would have never happened, and if it did under completely different circumstances which pretty much punctures the next 1000 years of history.

On the account of the spread of Christianity, there is no nation of Franks, and probably no Crusades.
