Who are the greatest /his/ approved generals of history?
Belisarius
Certainly not Rommel. Pretty overrated desu.
>>2379712
He was respected on both sides
I believe he was the best thing for Libya and I doubt Libya will ever truly recapture the success of Gaddafi's administration.
>>2375782
If it was so successful, why did the people revolt?
Not trying to say you're wrong. Just want to know what happened.

>he redistributed wealth therefore he's good.
Why is he considered the best US president?
>>2384883
He could have seized power but chose not to, he laid foundations of the presidency and the peaceful transition of power
He was not a partisan cuck
>>2384883
He wasn't as good as Thomas Jefferson

I would watch it but my recommended videos on Youtube is becoming increasingly littered with Hitler speeches and I'm starting to think a lot about my life.
>>2384873
Lol, I understand.
Just found a whole host of Nazi clips on British Pathe which are really interesting. Here is one of Hitler digging when inaugurating work for the Autobahn:

Would it be conceivable for a civilization to completely segregate itself along sexual lines, with all the males living on one side of the country with females at the other, with both groups meeting once a year for the purpose of reproduction?
>>2384577
No, that is a horrible idea and I would kill myself in such a society.
>>2384584
But women wish to be ruled by women and men wished to ruled by men.

There was a tribe on the amazon rainforest that worked exactly like that iirc.
Can any of you /his/trionics recommend me some good books about pic related, or about the role of the Six Nations / woodland indians in general during that period (king George's war / 7 year war / revolutionary war up to Tecumseh's rebellion)?
>>2384250
shameless self-bump.
No one here has an interest in that period?

Are people on this arse of a board too busy posting in "blocks your path" and /pol/bait threads to contribute to a thread about an actual historical subject?

yes. Such a waste of board potential.
How do we transfer Marx ideas into modern day?

Tell me about the barbarians that destroyed the Western Roman Empire. Were they strong or was rome weak?
Rome was weak.
>>2384152
Pretty Much
Rome was weaker than it ever was before, and a form of natural selection had culled the g*rmanics from tribes into more organized confederates and mini kingdoms. Not to mention years of serving in the legions gave them loads of experience with Roman tactics and siege warfare. Incidentally, the Arabs became so effective as conquerors largely due to the Sassanid and Romans funding them and training them up to engage in proxy wars, advancing their culture from simple nomadic Bedouin lifestyles.
Did he committed any of the war crimes they nazis were prosecuted for in Nuremberg?
The indictments were for:
Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of a crime against peace
Planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace
War crimes
Crimes against humanity
>>2383946
>Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of a crime against peace
>Planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace
In his role as propaganda minister he definitely was complicit in both of these given that his job was basically to convince people that waging war with all their neighbours and treating minorities in such a brutal fashion was a good idea.
>>2383946
Yes. All of them and he also murdered his own children.
He was a nasty little man.
>>2383971
He saved his children from Soviet gang rape desu
Were the ancient Persians black?

1453, Mehmet II conquered the city of Constantinople from the Byzantine Empire.
Lets discuss reasons for the fall other then big Cannons and a fuck load of men
1. Byzantium was weak and in decline
2. Internal divisions over the Union of Florence
> Inb4 Jews
>>2383909
>Jews
That's a funny way to spell Venetians
>>2383916
Surely you mean the Genoese of Pera if anything
>>2383909
honestly no matter what it was out of the Byzantine's hands, they made a small recovery after retaking the capital from the 4th crusade but by then the Capital was severely depopulated and money/manpower was tough to come by.
What surprises me though is that the Byzantines really did give the Ottoman's hell in the final decades. The fall of Constantinople was the Ottoman's 3rd try at taking the city, failing in 1411 and again in 1422.
The only way the empire could've survived was through help from the Pope/Western Europe. They did start a coalition war against the Ottomans but were mashed at the battle of Varna in 1444, which at that point no one was really willing to challenge the Ottomans anymore.
Genoa did send a few thousand men to help the defense of the capital, but of course that wasn't enough to tip the balance.
Honestly after the coalition's defeat at Varna it was really out of anyone's hands. Gotta have respect for Constantine XI though for going down fighting with his men to the last.

That's enough reason to dislike him. Lewis wrote the most insufferable apologetic diatribes since Chesterton.
