Legion soldiers based in Djibouti, numerous involvements with former colonies politically such as dethroning Bokassa, taking the Comoros back from Bob Denard and the recent involvement in Mali to name a few. More than the British who had the next largest presence in Africa the French are still very much involved. What is the motivation here?

>Brtish Empire still butthurt about American Rebellion
>America surprised some how
>America has lack of training and realized "holy fucckk we might lose!"
>*Insert description of importance battles here.*
>U.S wins:
>rebirths a of lost patriotism
>sparks Industrial Revolution sorta
>New York Becomes biggest city and sparks growth, Until New Orleans is added.
>Sets stage for American golden age... sorta you might argue the Louisiana Purchase gave spark to Golden age.
>>2405752
>Why happened?
Because British saolirs enslaved American citizens
>Who did literally nothing wrong?
America
>Who was the autistic?
Britain
>Affect in some way the Napoleonic Wars?
It slightly distracted Brits, but they were barely relevant in the Napoopan Wars anyway
>Which one was more fucked with the conflict,England or U.S.A?
Britain

>Blacks sold their own into slavery
Why do people say this? In Africa there's no "black" concept. They are separated into tribes. It has also been shown that the genetic difference between African people is greater than between Africans and Eurasians.
>>2403711
>blacks sell other blacks to slavery but they were too dumb to comprehend they were black too so it doesn't count haha lmao
>>2403716
No, you dumbfuck. Their skin if black but "blacks" are more different genetically between then than the difference between black and whites. Do you get this? Do I have to draw?
If you disregard the color of their skin, there's more difference between Africans than Africans and white. This is a scientific fact.
>>2403711
>Whites bought africans
Do i even need to go on?
But yeah, much like europeans couldnt really give a shit what happens to another diffrent european, africans couldnt really give a shit what hapens to another african. Like most africans think american blacks are spoiled brats and wouldnt really care what happened to them.
Its mostly retards fixated on identity politics and nationalists that think this kind of stuff is relevant.
Why has the cause of the war been boiled down to 'MUH SLAVERY' in pop culture? While it certainly created a cultural rift in the nation and it was by no means the only cause of the war or even the biggest (arguably).
What was it about then?
>>2391702
Because it was slavery.
Most of the other problems were around that fact, like King Cotton vs King Corn and the need to create "free" mobile workers to boost American industry.

Why were the Japanese so keen on honorable suicide as compared to the Europeans?
>>2405852
>honorable
Shame based society with no other way of regaining their honor than killing themselves.
Europe/Judeo-Christian values are not shame based but guilt based, with ways to mitigate the guilt short of suicide.
>>2405852
The Roman Empire had honor suicides. It happened after that suicide became taboo for theological reasons.
However things such a dueling show that Europeans weren't adverse to risking their lives for honor.
>>2405864
This. Shame is a very external thing to be witnessed by all members of the society. Guilt is very personal and internal and something that you struggle with behind closed doors.
I'm writing a story set in the west around 1867. Basically it's about a bounty hunter racing against other people looking to collect a very high bounty from someone. The problem is the bounty itself. What's a bounty that is large enough to garner the attention of the whole country and draw people to collect it, but not so large that it's unrealistic for the time.
>>2405534
1 Million Ducats
>>2405534
"…a $5,000 bounty, even for a murderer was quite large, equating ~$113,000 today."
Jesse and Frank Jams both had "higher end" $5k bounties in 1881 so $5k during the Civil War might be too much..

Why has every implication of communism led to millions of deaths? Is there just something wrong with the fundamental philosophy behind it?
You know the dimwitted chucklefuck who rings you up at walgreens?
Communists and anarchists want him and all of his friends to make decisions effecting the entirety of society via direct democracy.
>human beings abuse power
>concentrate absolute power in small cadre of human beings
>everyone outside of this small cadre gets mercilessly cornholed
Thus we have arrived at the following conclusions: Attempts at Communism have hitherto failed because:
[1] They were based on an impetus of a religious character instead of considering a community simply as a means of economic consumption and production,
[2] They isolated themselves from society,
[3] They were imbued with an authoritarian spirit,
[41 They were isolated instead of federated,
[5] They required of their members so much labour as to leave them no leisure time, and
[6] They were modelled on the form of the patriarchal family instead of having for an aim the fullest possible emancipation of the individual.
Communism, being an eminently economic institution, does not in any way prejudice the amount of liberty guaranteed to the individual, the initiator, the rebel against crystallising customs. It may be authoritarian, which necessarily leads to the death of the community, and it may be libertarian, which in the twelfth century even under the partial communism of the young cities of that age, led to the creation of a young civilisation full of vigour, a new springtide of Europe.
The only durable form of Communism, however, is one under which, seeing the close contact between fellow men it brings about, every effort would be made to extend the liberty of the individual in all directions.
Under such conditions, under the influence of this idea, the liberty of the individual, increased already by the amount of leisure secured to him, will be curtailed in no other way than occurs today by municipal gas, the house to house delivery of food by great stores, modern hotels, or by the fact that during working hours we work side by side with thousands of fellow labourers.
With Anarchy as an aim and as a means, Communism becomes possible. Without it, it necessarily becomes slavery and cannot exist.

RITUAL SUICIDE IS NOT A MEANS TO "GAIN HONOUR", BUT AN INDICATOR OF HONOUR, AND A MEANS TO PRESERVE DIGNITY.

The irony, a blind man, seeing the world more clearly than his peers.
THE IDIOM "AHEAD OF ITS TIME" IS A MISNOMER; "AGAINST ITS TIME", OR "AGAINST TIME", ARE APTER TERMS TO DESCRIBE WHAT IS USUALLY DESCRIBED BY THE TERM "AHEAD OF ITS TIME"; THE IDIOM IS USED TO DESCRIBE REVOLUTIONARY PERSONS, OR THINGS; THE REVOLUTIONARY IS NOT "AHEAD", BUT "AGAINST".
THE IDIOM "AHEAD OF ITS TIME" IS ALSO SPURIOUS IN ITSELF BECAUSE IT IS BASED ON THE NOTION OF "PROGRESS".
