Why did it become it's own pointless nation with a worthless overbloated burocreacy system instead of staying with Germany for ein großes Deutsches Volk for efficiency?
Natiolism for Austria is degenerate.
>>2449694
Austria is more a nation than Germany will ever be.
Germany should have been partitioned after WWI and Austria should have been absorbed in the new independent Bavaria.
An no "autonomy" crap or anything. Austrian provinces become Bavarian provinces (Bezirke).
austria got a bad experience of nationalism
it wrecked their empire rather recently
Did he really fuck Empress Alexandra and her daughters?
And her son too
>>2449678
Probably
>>2449678
Probably not. Not everything is about fucking but it's easier to insinuate to the revolutionary masses that a weirdo is fucking everyone than that a weirdo has an undue influence on decision makers and fucks up the regimes ability to function.
Can anyone tell me what this item is?

So if you like horror movies you are a weirdo and if you watch fucking Dinsey princess movies you are a normal warm hearted human being ?

Iv been trying to understand the Demiurge but the wiki page and youtube videos haven't really help. Can you guys explain it to me?
Essentially the god of the Jews and by extension the god of the Protestants.
Basically the guy who made the world and he's a dick but there's an even more powerful guy who's nice and Jesus is his son not the demiurge
100 years.
Hundred years.
HUNDRED FUCKING YEARS.
How can a war take this long? Were the English and French so mad at each other?
>>2449389
1. It wasn't 100 years of constant warfare.
2. The Plantaganets were 100% right and had the better claim.
>>2449398
>The Plantaganets were 100% right and had the better claim.
It's a shit claim, if women really counted, then Charles of Navarre had the better one.
>>2449398
>The Plantaganets were 100% right
And 100% French
No matter who won, a French king would have been on the French throne
Is God is real, why are human beings literally "spec of dust"-tier in the universe?
There so, so many galaxies, stars, planets (even planets that are good for life), why then do you conclude that God is real and the Torah/Bible/Quran is true?
Hi, I'm new to /his/.
Is this the "biased and flawed questions thread"?
>>2449333
Well I understand it's a bit of a loaded question, but the intentions are pure. How DOES one reconcile knowledge of the universe with religious metaphysics?
In the 80s Sathya Sai Baba would die after making things appear out of thin air in front of people.
30 years later there was never evidence.
Excluding ww2. Has there ever been a huge, ""pan""-asian war in which a lot of countries were involved and fought? Kind of like europes 30 years war and ww1.
I'm obviously not thinking that the whole of asia would ever fight each other at the same time, but i'm simply wondering what wars has been the "closest" to that.
Mongol conquests
>Middle East
>India Subcontinent
>Central Asia
Lumped all of these into a single name is a misake

If a man gets three wives, don't you end with two guys who can't get a wife?
>>2449184
they can transition into women
There are slightly more women than men, so you can have a certain population of mormon polygamists without leaving someone without a marriage partner.
>>2449184
The two guys can marry eachother.
Childhood is idolising Churchill.
Adulthood is realising Chamberlain made more sense.
>>2449098
I would've probably sided with Chamberlain if I lived in '38 but in hindsight you'd be an idiot to do that knowing what Hitler was planning.
>>2449098
I think Chamberlain is unfairly demonized by history. Britain suffered terribly as a result of World War I, and I believe (maybe someone can verify this) he was echoing the sentiments of the majority of British people that did not want to get involved in another war. And everything he did was an attempt to do just this.
>>2449110
But what exactly do you mean?
It's not like Chamberlain did nothing. He recognised Hitler was expansionist, and clearly declared that any invasion of Poland would lead to war, which he followed through on.
His greatest folly was presuming that the threat of another great war would dissuade Hitler, but what other options did he have?
His choices were:
- Ignore Hitler's obvious expansionism
- Declare war on Germany after the (illegal, but bloodless) annexation of Austria, which would have dragged Europe into another world war, but with Britain looking like the over-reactor
- Declare war on Germany after the (illegal, but minor annexation of Sudetenland)
- Put a foot down at some point that hadn't yet occured and declare that if Hitler crossed this line it would be war, and follow through on that threat if Hitler did it
He choose the last of those options. Realistically, it's what most people would have done in that position. It's easy af to go "He was dealing with LITERALLY Hitler" in hindsight, but at the time Hitler wasn't LITERALLY Hitler the way he is viewed today.
Keep in mind Germany lost all that territory and faced the treaty of Versailles because they were held to blame for overreacting to a war started between Austria and Serbia 20 years earlier.
How do we fix the Protestant problem?
I don't think there is a solution.
>>2449092
You can't
>>2449114
That was more to do with culture and ethnicity than religion, though.
The NSDAP appealed strongest to Prussians, and they happened to be Protestant. If the blue-eyed, Germanic people Adolf loved so much happened to be Catholics, the NSDAP would have been more Catholic. If they happened to be Pagans, Hitler would have been more pagan, etc.
NatSocs didn't care so much about the religion itself, more the identity.
Hey /his/ what are some good long form history podcasts?
I have already finished The History of Rome, and have caught up to real time in The History of Byzantium and The History of England.
Any more podcasts like these out there?
Does a happen have a link to the paywalled episodes of History of Byzantium (28, 77, and the latest one)? I'm happy to donate one off, but I don't want to sign up to the website to buy random episodes.

Why does Germany have the largest immigrant population of Turks in the world? What's the history behind it?
This is not a /pol/ thread. I'm genuinely interested in German-Turkish relations.
>>2449084
Because a lot of German men got killed in the war and Germany had a shortage of labor, so German government invited them as (((guest workers))) in the 50s and 60s.
>>2449084.
didn't they fight on the same side during world war I?
>>2449084
Guest workers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastarbeiter
In short, there was so much growth in the 60-70s that West-Germany ran out of labour. To help the new strategic Nato-ally Turkey (And also a bit Morocco), Germany, The Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, Sweden and Norway agreed to take in the poorest of the poorest Turks as guest workers, give them german-wages which they could send back to their families and also spread western culture to the turkish lower-class.
This worked out perfectly for both parties, until the economic miracle wore off. Instead of returning home where there were no good jobs, the Turks helped their families to Germany through the Family-Unification programs, and suddenly the Turkish population had quintupled.
Because the turks intitally invited were the poorest of the poorest, the cultural shock with was especially hard, and many retreated into ghettos (Buildings they had ironically buildt)
This is why these particular European countries can have absolutely insane immigration policies. In Denmark for example, you'll have a social worker come an check if you're more culturally associated with Danish or your home culture if you want family reunification.
ALOT of people have felt betrayed by the guest workers, it's a prime example of goodwill immigration policies being abused.
Are there any philosophical implications to be learned from modern physics?
If there are, what are they?

that rationalist fail to prove [since they cling to the word proof] that physicists talk about truth and proof and ''objective reality'', and that somehow all their institutions are not a religion, while claiming they deserve to be paid each month.
