I have this universal rule established by millennia of precedence that says of you start a war for territory and lose, you lose territory. Sorry, that's what logic says...

Archeological evidence says the same thing. Whether you like it or not, it is the historical Jewish Homeland, and the current Jewish Homeland. It's not going to stop existing because you don't like it

are palestini*ns officially one of the most butthurt people on earth?

Uniformitarianism in history is utter cancer. Great men shaped history just as much if not more then the great social, economic, political, and religious trends that surrounded them.

There are some people who think that these great men are purely the result of their environment. That if say, Alexander had never been born, someone else would have conquered Persia. These people are dumb and should be laughed at.

A quick example. Vasili Arkhipov, a Soviet Officer onboard a russian nuclear submarine. The sub was literally prepared to start nuclear war, the votes of all three officers were required to authorize a launch. He alone refused and veto'd. The entire world, all Mankind, our entire civilization, only persists because one relatively ordinary man, in a relatively ordinary place, made a relatively ordinary decision. If anyone else had been on board that submarine, we might all be living in shelters eating rats right now.

Depends how far back you go, imagine if some dude strangled a random guy in Sub Saharan Africa which would in turn lead to blacks never existing.

phoneposting was a mistake

To be made well enough that they would be more useful than just a horse & buggy you need advanced metallurgy & materials like rubber as well as roads to make proper use of them.

>>2248321
Don't take my word for it, but I'd assume it's because it requires quite a lot of different "inventions" to make it practical/comfortable.
You need decent metalworking to ensure the chains aren't fucked up.
You need grease for the chains so the friction won't make riding the bike more tiresome than walking.
You need rubber for wheels to make riding it comfortable.
On top of that, you really need to just... think of that shit. Just because the resources are there doesn't mean people automatically think of every possible combination and form of those resources.
Of course, most of these points assume the "modern" bike, like the one in your pic.

>>2248321
need is the mother of inventions
if the need and a practical use for a bike appeared earlier in the history, it would've appeared earlier. Mind you, it needs to be better in at least some things than what you currently have to replace it, otherwise what's the point?

I think so, reading an his you see that people know jack about medieval societies and how they where organized. Especially high to late medieval societies get underestimated completely. And the pic you posted doesn't really help with that.

>>2248045
Yes, because it makes exampling medieval societies very. Your pic only works for the English system really. For say the french being noble was a blood right. So it would go serfs, free peasants, minor nobles, nobles with important job titles (like knight), nobles with land, king. In the English system however only those of the rank of baron or above were nobles.

I think it depends on the society and how you use the term.

The way it's used by most, talking about the relationship between a various ranks and nobles, is to a degree accurate but also to a degree bullshit. Indeed, in many European societies there was some sort of title-rank system, but the relationships between those ranks were never as cut and dry as "count reports to duke, duke reports to king." In reality the exact title system was flexible and varied heavily from country to country.

Now, if we take "feudalism" to refer to a production relation where a serf is tied to the land and produces for a lord, sometimes under some contractual obligation, the term becomes a lot more useful and applicable. Systems of this kind were found throughout the world and accross many cultures.

What religion doesn't though?

>>2248048
Countries such as Egypt and Iran "tolerate" (and I put that term very loosely) Christianity and Judaism as legal religions, but not Bahá'í.

Prolly because they consider ''pagan'' people like Krishna and Buddha as prophets of the Abrahamic God
