I imagine they faced rampant racism in the south, but what about the North? Were they allowed to own property, businesses, run for political office, etc,
>Get called a nigger, be whipped, die
>Get called a nigger, get lynched, die
Thats pretty much the difference
>"Invading Russia is impossible because winter lol!"
>Mongols invade what would later become Russia, conquer it with trivial ease
>Turks and their vassals invade Russia and literally burn down Moscow
>Poles invade Russia, crush the Russian army, take Moscow, and end up annexing a bunch of their territory in the peace treaty
>Germans invade Russia, destroy the Russian army, collapse the Russian government, and occupy significant parts of it with much of the Russian Empire's land being ceded in the peace treaty
When will this meme die? The Swedes, French, and Germans were defeated in battle (both in Russian and on other fronts). They didn't lose because Russia is just impervious to conquest.
>The Rus area and Moscow Duchy are the same as the modern territory of Russian Federation
kys my man
>>2347745
Actually you are incorrect in multiple ways.
A good part of the russian states didn't even fight the Mongols but subdued to them, not only this but it wasn't impossible at the time with the type of warfare of the time, centred on battles and maneuvers; but it is factually extremely hard to conquer as of today because states can ammass such forces that wars are wars of position: stationary and exhausting fights to just gain a couple of kilometers. The Germans never had a chamce of beating RussiA, since it would have kept fighting even after losing Ztalingrad and Moscow, forcing Hitler to reach the AA line (in Siberia). it would be impossible to sustain such a massive amount of forces along such a long frontline and in terrible climate conditions. Germany tried her best woth Barbarossa, striking Russia unpreparadely, but in a normal scenario where both the contendents are ready and there is no surprise factor, Germany wouldn't have even reached Minsk.
Although you can find exceptions it will still hold the reputation it does regardless. Just like Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires.
Why was he such a fucking Chad?
>Had scars on his neck

Handsome maybe but not a Chad
Stalin was a bitter insecure manlet that hired actors to stand in for him.
Tito was a Chad.

>the allies didn't commit geno--
Yes the german expulsions were genocide
Winners write history not losers, its the same why you keep being reminded by nazi atrocities to this day, while the many communist atrocities are less talked about
>>2347711
If you wash your teeth would you call it a genocide too?
>>2347711
Thats ethnic cleansing not genocide. Theres a difference
How does a mechanized army complete with thousands of tanks get wrecked by an opposing force composed almost solely of light infantry and militia? Was it autism?
Internal purges and hellish frozen weather will sap anyones morale to fight
Contrasted with someone who is defending their country in their own soil, acting as force multiplier

War isn't fought on paper, my dude.
>there are people that still think the allies couldn't take on the ussr after the fall of nazi germany

I wonder why
Were the Soviets the real heroes of WW2? Was Stalingrad really the heaviest combat in the history of warfare?
Anti-heroes at best
And became the primary antagonists in the sequel
>>2347521
>Were the Soviets the real heroes of WW2?
Well, kind of considering they defeated Nazis. But from Polish, Finnic or Baltic perspective not so much.
>>2347521
yes
they lost millions more than everyone else so that everyone else could win

>you will never do this... you're a MODERN PUSSY!

Ancient men conquered cities put them to the sword and fire, meanwhile you go to WINE BAR with "gf" and enjoy tasteful banter..YOU ARE GAY!!

They were also lucky if they survived into their 20s and didn't get raped by stronger alpha males

So tell me, oh so high and mighty keyboard warrior, what combat engagements have you seen? what struggles andnl trials have you overcome?

It was a strange oversight, given how interested the Victorians generally were with all things Oriental. Some suspect it was an intentional slur, but that seems far-fetched. Just pure idiocy from beginning to end.
even though his greatest work is now discredited?
By what metric is one the 'greatest historian'. Gibbon certainly left an indelible mark on western civilian's entire conception of the Roman Empire in the way that Dante did to hell. His books are worth reading for their prose alone. But he belongs to a forgone class of historiography somewhat in the vein of Herodotus whose limits in the material & tools available meant that he could only relate the events as they were understood at the time that obviously doesn't reflect the intense scrutiny & attention to detail at the smallest level that most modern scholarship strives for.
>>2347425
this is retarded, this is like saying Newton is not one of the "greatest" scientists, cause much of the Principia is outdated
>>2347429
Newton was a lifetime wizard do you seriously look up to him
