Is this the most overvalued literary work in history?
It isn't even the first novel, the first novel is the Kadambari, written by Bāṇabhaṭṭa, a North Indian.

I had to put it down, it's complete shit. It's literally just
>don Quijote and Sancho go somewhere
>DQ sees things and belives it's something from his knight novels
>they get into a fight and get beaten up
over and over again for hundreds of pages. It's not even that funny for the first time and it's trying to milk that one joke all the tim (don Quijote believes he is a fairytale knight LMAO).
>>2299975
No, the Aeneid is. It's a complete ripoff of the Iliad, it falsifies history and it's blatant propaganda.

I've heard Mussolini's state described as "organic". What does that mean?
>>2299708
His ideal state was based around a bodied politic, similar to corporatism.
He believed that once various industries organized in a particular way, the natural end would be a fascist state where labor unions wouldn't need to exist.
I always found it interesting. Check out "The Doctorine of Fascism." It's a good read.

Would they be organized into entities like guilds?
Why sub-saharan Africans weren't able to domesticate local wildlife? Is African fauna just harder to domesticate than its Eurasian and American counterparts, or was it a result of other reasons (cultural, climatic, or racial)?
>>2299420
can't ride a horse with these big ass nuts
>>2299420
Your question is rather misleading, some it implies animals were domesticated everywhere else. But for example, Europe didn't domesticate local animals either - domestic animals there were spread from the Middle East. Domestication is the exception, not the rule, and almost everyone got them from cultural exchange, not independent development. Sub-saharan Africa was culturally isolates from Europe and Asia, so they missed out.
The horse was domesticated first as food, before anyone thought to ride it. trying to domesticate an animal to be ridden takes too long to yield any returns, and it's just not something you think to do (hence Chariots got invented before horse-riding). Horses were only domesticated in Asia because although they are a grazing animal that is able to graze during harsh steppe winters, since horses will dig through snow and break ice to reach grass.
Africa doesn't have climates like that.
why did europeans come to dominate, colonize and conquer the world where other civilizations/peoples failed?
>>2299335
They didn't dominate, colonize and conquer the world. They were measuring dicks.

What was the partial control or influence in Saudi Arabia? Does it mean the Ottomans?
Im kinda interested in the way of feudalism in medieval Japan. Basically the emperor was just a puppet of the Shogun and he had all the power. But how did you became to be the Shogun? Does he get elected or is it always the son of the current Shogun who gets to be the next Shogun?
>>2299307
Can you imagine how fucking miserable it must be to be Japanese? In any time period? Like fuck, that sucks

Ayn Rand was a slut that made an ideology that justified her being a slut.
That's what Libertarianism is, an excuse for total degeneracy. Objectivism and Ancap bullshit just adds onto it.

I don't understand why Christians come here to shill when this board is supposed to be neutral. your religion isn't a fact, fuck off
Sup /his/.
I don't know shit about anything really, but i like to lurk here a lot.

How was religion treated in the Soviet Union?
Were people allowed to worship openly?

No, atheism was forced on you

here come the meme-tier responses
Christianity is hard
Wish there was a way to be christian by just owning a bible and saying you belief in Christ
>>2298958
That's way to hard. Wish there was some way to be a Christian by just paying for it.
>>2298978
>still falling for the indulgence meme which was more a political tool then anything else
You sure know your history books.

What was the comfiest time period?
40s
bronze age near east, the palace system was undeniably the comfiest political order. The palace at Knossos on Crete had over 300 rooms and was the center of a village of 17,000 people.
then the collapse happened and the world still hasn't recovered its comfiness

Germany between 1888 and 1914. It's called "The good old time".
>"Declassified documents show that the United States knew immediately after the Korean War that North Korea had failed to turn over hundreds of American prisoners known to be alive at the end of the war (about 900)."
>"While not dismissing the analyst's report entirely, the Defense Department has said it has no clear evidence that any Americans are being held against their will in North Korea, although it has pledged to continue to investigate accounts of defectors and others who say they have seen American prisoners there."
Just... Fuck man. I wish I had never learned this fact. I'm not even sure why, but this article really upset me. Like, dutifully serving your country only to have them give you the middle finger and leave you to be tortured in Korea for all eternity sounds really fucking awful. I feel so bad for those poor US soldiers. I have a newfound hatred for president Eisenhower btw.
Article for those interested.

Is there any likely scenario where Germany could have won World War 2 or were they doomed from the start?
