Def not best but it will do.
Why were the Romans unable to take Pictland? They were so BTFOd by the Picts they built a fucking wall to keep them away.
>>2365692
its not that they couldn't conquer it if they wanted to, its that they saw no reason that justified the expense of trying to hold it
they didn't really want to take Britania in the first place but pirates from modern day britain were raiding the coast of Gaul and they wanted to stop that. Although they also saw it as extremely glorious to cross a sea to conquer someone.
Gorilla tactics. Throw some javelins and retreat.

>Picts they built a fucking wall to keep them away.
Actually it was to regulate trade routes and make some sweet dosh. If the romans wanted to build a wall to keep someone out, look at Constantinople
What do you think about this USA tactic (Destroy enemy morale), used in Civil War (1861-1865), Germany (1944-47), Vietnam and so on?

Well once the war was over we were nice and didn't enslave / genocide the people we were fighting.
>[I]n acting or getting others to act, in mutilating or getting others to mutilate, in torturing or getting others to torture, in inflicting sorrow or in getting others to inflict sorrow, in tormenting or getting others to torment, in intimidating or getting others to intimidate, in taking life, taking what is not given, breaking into houses, plundering wealth, committing burglary, ambushing highways, committing adultery, speaking falsehood — one does no evil. If with a razor-edged disk one were to turn all the living beings on this earth to a single heap of flesh, a single pile of flesh, there would be no evil from that cause, no coming of evil. Even if one were to go along the right bank of the Ganges, killing and getting others to kill, mutilating and getting others to mutilate, torturing and getting others to torture, there would be no evil from that cause, no coming of evil. Even if one were to go along the left bank of the Ganges, giving and getting others to give, making sacrifices and getting others to make sacrifices, there would be no merit from that cause, no coming of merit. Through generosity, self-control, restraint, and truthful speech there is no merit from that cause, no coming of merit.

Good: 60s, 70s
Meh: 50s
Shit: 20s, 30s, 40s, 80s
Late lenin/early stalin and full Khrushchev for best. This was when you were going to be comparatively well off and comfy.
early lenin and the rest of the stalin era for worst, for obvious reasons.
Why do fat virgins love Nazi Germany so much? Don't they realize they'd be shot for being worthless degenerates?
Why do rich white kids majoring in philosophy love communism so much? Don't they realize they'd be shot by Commisar Jamal for being privileged intellectuals?

>mfw people before christ treated their slaves much better than Amerifats in 19th century
lol Indians of a certain tribe near me used to carry on their belts at all times a specialized hammer designed for best puncturing human skulls called a "slave killer"
I wonder how many instances there are of an ancient roman keeping a slave in their basement, severing all their limbs but keeping them alive until they're corrupted and broken into a shit-eating fully insane animal
I wonder how many instances there are right now
>>2365199

How old are you?
What is it /his/?
Also let's have a /his/ mystery thread. Post anything mysterious/unknown that incites curiosity for anons to discuss.
it's a fantasy book written by a crazy person
Probably a hoax made by a scribe to showcase his skills. It was made during the Renaissance, when Eastern scientific knowledge was in fashion. The manuscript is probably the result of someone making a fake science book to show how good he was at his job, and possible to sell to someone who wanted a trendy curiosity. Or maybe someone commissioned a book to make it seem like he had special mystic knowledge.
Hi.
I am supposedly "jewish" although I do not believe in judaism or any other religion.
I am an atheist.
Anyway, the japanese are not "aryans".
So why did shitler killed us and not them.
Look at the pic of the jap emperor.
And tell me is he blonde with blue eyes?.
Look at that jap, and tell me, if he will have a child with a blonde german woman what do you think the result will be?????

Hitler dident hate other races (except for jews) anon, how about you do a little reading before making shit threads?
Also jews are not a religion its a race, and you are a jew wether you like it or not.
>In saying this, I promise you I am quite free of ail
racial hatred. It is, in any case, undesirable that one
race should mix with other races. Except for a few
gratuitous successes, which I am prepared to admit,
systematic cross-breeding has never produced good
results. Its desire to remain racially pure is a proof of
the vitality and good health of a race. Pride in one's
own race — and that does not imply contempt for other
races — is also a normal and healthy sentiment. I have
never regarded the Chinese or the Japanese as being
inferior to ourselves. They belong to ancient civiliza-
tions, and I admit freely that their past history is
superior to our own. They have the right to be proud
of their past, just as we have the right to be proud
of the civilization to which we belong. Indeed, I
believe the more steadfast the Chinese and the
Japanese remain in their pride of race, the easier I
shall find it to get on with them.

It has to be around 50k. Does anyone have proof to show me otherwise?

What's the context of this picture?
>>2364737
The Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry's findings.
>>2364748
It's the most accurate image we have of Jesus I think.
Has anyone ever thought about how much movies and videogames distort our image of history? It legitimately makes me butthurt.
For example, a vast majority of the Vietnam war air bombardment campaigns yet the common idea of the war are a bunch of GIs traversing through the jungle and getting sniped by spooky pajama men while It ain't me is playing in the background because of fucking Platoon, Forrest Gump and Apocalypse Now.
Or the fact that the vast majority battlefield casualties in basically every large scale war (Napoleonic wars, US civil war, WW1, WW2) were caused by artillery is constantly ignored by the average normies because those wars aren't portrayed that way in the media.
but most of the killing in Apocalypse Now is done by air bombardment
Bondarchuk's Waterloo involved quite a bit of artillery.
I get the feeling they wanted to feature it more, but the prop department couldn't get the firing of cannons to look quite right.
Which army unit during WW2 had the coolest insignia (and why is it 33rd SS Charlemagne)?

When was the last time that the beginning of a new century didn't bring massive geopolitical changes in the first 20 years?

Century is an arbitray concept.
>>2363501
It is not arbitrary, what you meant was artificial.
>>2363506
Both I guess, arbitrary in its length (who decides how long a year is based on what calendar) and artificial. Also I can't spell.
The Transatlantic slave trade played a major part in financing the Industrial Revolution.
Prove me wrong.
it was really the brazilian gold rush around 1720
but yeah that demanded more slaves
>>2363434
The Industrial Revolution didn't even start until 1750. The money from the sugar plantations in the Caribbean were far more significant.
You are right, and most of the today's (((multibillionaires))) are descending from slavers families.
At the end of the 19th century, Cecil Rhodes mentioned that to preserve peace in England it was necessary to relocate part of its population. Decades later, at least 50 million white people die in two major wars triggered by European politics. Could this be avoided?
I blame Spain. If they simply killed off their Injuns like everyone else instead of raping them we would be able to settle comfortably throughout all of the Americas
>>2363313
They did relocate
To United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
To avoid those 50 million deaths, you'd have to keep Germany from chimping out.
So no. It couldn't be done.
