Now that the dust has been settled, was the Yellow Peril really justified in 1890's Europe?
Yes.
Wasn't there a plan to populate Ireland with millions of Chinese in the 19th century?
>>2367774
Is there still a sizable population of Chinese immigrants still in Europe? Have they really done anything to justify the hype against them besides the Boxer Rebellion?

Can children outgrow their parents? Do parents create children?

Yes, I have surpassed my parents so I am living proof of this
No.

Hey folks, can we have a tread about the colonies in the eastern US during the first century of colonization.
I mean I know a bit about the Pilgrims and such but aside from the Salem trials there aint so much information around.
So what I'd like to know in particular
- How was daily life back then as a colonist?
- What role did companies like the Massachusetts Bay Company play?
- What about Architecture, manufacturing etc?
I'm just starting to dive into this topic so my knowledge (aside from some Wikipedia redaing) is highly limited. But would love to know more. And, if you got some, also links and recommended books.
Thanks guys.

How come Trajan isn't as popular as other great emperors like Augustus, or Diocletian?
He's literally one of the five good emperors.
If you know anything about Roman history, you should know who they are and why they are considered good.
If you don't, just end your own life, catamite.
>>2366824
Of course, I know the five good emperors, I'm just wondering why he's not popular compared to other emperors
>>2366845
he's the most celebrated ruler of all time moron. trajan's record in the history books is two millennia of constant historian dicksucking and it has never changed.
What other historical figures transferred their power into a golden evil statue?
Does the timeline of Nioh match up with the real timeline of events? Like, did William Adams come to Japan before Sekigahara?
With William being a samurai, did he ever actually see combat or did only have samurai as a title?
>>2367636
Adams arrived in April 1600, the battle was in October 1600. He certainly wasn't trained as a samurai; his position was more akin to an oyatoi gaikokujin.
Was Charles the Bold stupid or were the odds just stacked against him?
>>2366299
>Was Charles the Bold stupid
Yes
>were the odds just stacked against him?
The odds were in his favour at first until he lost every single battle and siege
His chivalric feats gave him false confidence in military tactics. He was an accomplished jousters, but foolish commander.
Also, why did no other medieval country even try to have as lavish of a court life as Burgundy?
>>2366299
1. Yes
2. I would say that the odds were relatively balanced, but being incompetent put Charles at a disadvantage
>tfw castles in videogames look like castles in modern times instead of being covered in plaster and painted as they were in the middle ages
What triggers /his/ in videogames?
They even managed to get a horned helmeted Viking on the cover of Aoe2.
I love the shit out of this game, but damn if they can't cut that shit out, once and for all.

I don't mind the black footsoldiers in bf1, but the German cavalry officer (the only one with the Pickelhaube) is black. That's just silly.

Has multiculturalism ever worked for any society in human history to the point where it was seen as a net positive over simply being a homogeneous society?
Even in modern times it seems all it ends up doing is creating tension within the populace and many people end up congregating with their own kind anyway.
>>2367941
Multiculturalism plus egalitarianism has never worked.
>>2367941
It really depends what you mean. Multiple European ethnicities blended together in the USA to great effect.
By multiculturalism, do you mean
a) the idea of people of different ethnicities living together, which has occurred for thousands of years everywhere, or
b) the absolutely retarded idea of allowing competing laws and institutions and hoping it won't lead into conflict (but it does)?
So, to settle this once and for all, was the civil war about slavery or not? Was the emancipation proclamation just a tactic to cripple the south, or did Abe actually care about the slaves themselves?
It was about the state rights to own slaves.
Every war since the French Revolution has been orchestrated by the Jesuits, Freemasons and Illuminati to further their purposes.
>So, to settle this once and for all,
You'll just remake this exact thread tomorrow.
I'm on to you, you are like the Yakub dude.

Are Christians polytheists?
Please could you explain how the "trinity" works.
>>2364109
Three distinct people with their own desires, knowledge and persons, but they're "really" all the same guy. How? It's a "mystery" :^)
>>2364112
Fuck off.
It is a Holy Mystery.
If it was comprehensible to humans it wouldn't be true,
The primary purpose of the Bible is to give people the laws of God. When examining all the commandments of Moses together the primary purpose is to be kind to each other and don't forget God. There are some matters of health in there as well because things like sanitation weren't understood very well by ancient Hebrews so God needed to explain them in ways they could understand.
By the time of Christ the Jews had corrupted the commandments of God intended to get people to remember God and be good to each other into worship of the law itself and rampant corruption of the priesthood so Christ issued a new set of laws.
Christianity was a law of tolerance and care for one another with the main point being "Love God with all your heart, might, mind, and strength and love your neighbor as yourself" because the Jews had forgotten that.
200 years after the establishment of Christianity it was corrupted again with the council of Nicaea into a pseudo Greek/hellenistic theology of worshiping some crazy bodiless, spirit, trinity thing when evidence is all over the Bible as to the true nature of God.

I don't think anyone here is claiming to be an historian. Hell, I have a master in History but I don't claim to be an historian.
