>According to Ahad Ha-am, the Torah's phrasing of "thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" is negative because it creates a "perfect equilibirum, with no leaning either to your side or to your neighbour's."[4]

Advanced gunpowder artillery made horse archers dead, so no.
Was the Kingdom of Bosnia the rightful successor to the Roman Empire?
How the fuck did you determine that
>>2292250
ofc
No, the true successor of Roman empire was Serbia ofc. Dont you know about Lazar and his fucking flying charriot ? Dont you know serbs are history's oldest people. The very fucking Romans were actually serbs who, seperated from the other serb people, forgot their identity and therefore, started calling themselves romas.
How does one become obscenely rich?
>>2292226
By being born rich.
Are you Jewish?
1. Be born into it.
2. Luck into it by means of a lottery or stock market.
3. Luck into it by being the first to conquer a huge unexplored market.
4. Luck into it by publishing the next big piece of popular garbage fiction.
Basically these four.
What was the most destructive medieval European war? In terms of sheer casualties not lasting impacts.
Saintonge War, easily
Northern Crusades most likely. The closest thing to actual genocide that Medieval Europe had experienced. It cause massive ethnic shifts in the Baltic area.
Mongol Invasion of Europe is also a strong contender.
30 Years War
Was there any instance of terrorism achieving it's desired political goals? If so, how and why were they successful?
Right now it seems to me that terrorism (deliberately attacking civilians) never works. It just creates martyrs and discredits whatever cause the terrorists want to advance.
>>2291936
Yes. The Founding Fathers
>>2291936
Freikorps, Irish nationalists?
>>2291936
Crash a few planes, contractors earn billions. Pretty successful.
What caused WWI?

Is the reason that there have been no significant wars since WW2 the atomic bomb, or is it simply that we have too much globalism in trade for it to be feasible?
>>2291248
Neither, really. And I would like to hear your definition for "significant war", since we've had wars with the numbers of combatants literally running into the millions, the Chinese Civil War, for instance.
But I would argue that U.S. military and economic hegemony has more to do than either of them. Hegemonic stability can be observed well before nukes or global trade.
>>2291258
A significant war would be between two developed countries, using the contemporary tools for fighting. Civil wars aren't representative as they are fought differently.
>>2291248
Mainly the threat of the Bomb. Just look at Indo-Paki relations, when both countries aquired nuclear weapons all of a sudden their full scale wars turned into the occasional border skirmish or funding of rebel groups
I don't know anything about this battle. Saw this image on /fit/. How can this even be possible?

Leftists are just superior in warfarwäe

Its a scientific fact in history that if you fight for freedumz, you always win
I have never once seen a thread on the Troubles present legitimate evidence to lead to a conclusive set of opinions on The Troubles in Ulster.
Bring to this thread your facts, figures AND your opinions, and let's settle once and for all:
>Was the IRA's cause legitimate/was violence their only foreseeable option
>Did the British commit atrocities or where they just caught up in a mess
>IRA or UDA/UVF, which was the enemy of the non-combatant innocent?
>Which side came out on top?
>Should people such as Martin Mcguinness/Gerry Adams be allowed in government, and should the IRA soldiers have been released from prison?
And lastly,
>Who started it?
>>2290899
>in Ulster
You're just begging for shitposters with that one
I've always been a hibernophile so I am admittedly a bit biased. Part of me wants to conclude that the irish nation (due to history) have the more legitimate claim to N.I than the british. I do however consider the good friday agreement the best and most civilized solution available. Then again, I also think that Finland should become a part of Sweden again and reinvade Karelia, so maybe take what I say with a pinch or two of salt.
>>2290910
Well obviously I mean only in the 6 counties, but the Troubles largely only happened in the province of Ulster, albeit only a chunk of it.
>>2290947
I'm English through and through but know a lot of people from Belfast through Uni.
There seems to quite literally be a divide along the lines of "The IRA did nothing wrong", "The IRA were irish-ISIS and need hung" and then "I don't care up the ra lmao"
It always looked like there was needless action taken against civilians, however.

>brings Christianity, missionaries, builds schools, hospitals, brings education, culture and prosperity to their colonies, makes effort to integrate colonial people into their national identity and culture and improve their quality of living and education
>British empire

Name one former French colony that's not shit-tier.
The former French colonies are literally the worst places in the world right now, and they bare a lot of responsibility for that. Especially Haiti.

Why is diversity good?
>>2289428
diversity in what sense of the word?
>>2289428
Diversity as in a diverse diet is good because there's health risks involved in only eating carbs, proteins or fat.
