These are objectively the best choices. Go ahead, try to prove me wrong.
How advanced would the mesoamerican culture be today if Europe hadn't found them?
>>2226691
Well who knows, but probabilistically at some point they would have discovered the scientific method and quickly catch up. It's the first hurdle you need to overcome. This is if you care about modern day advancements.
What is a thousand years if need be, nothing, really.
>>2226691
metalworking, wheel, without these two, you're not going anywhere.
It's impossible to say, really. But I highly doubt they'd be anywhere near as advanced as the west is now. There were a lot of advantages that Europe had that the Americas just didn't.
So what books would you recommend on medieval Eastern Europe?
Anything about:
- Rus
- bulgars
- hungarians
- vlachs
- the steppe empires
Preferably introductory and not very dry stuff.
It's not Eastern Europe, but if you haven't read "A Distant Mirror" (Regardless of what you think of Tuchman's "Gun's of August" and forgetting that Henry Morganthau was her cousin), IMHO that's the best place to start for any desire to evaluate medieval Europe, Set or West.

Childhood is idolising Hitler's fascism. Adulthood is realising Mussolini made much more sense.
wise old age is realizing they were both wrong
REEEEEEEEEE REVENGE FOR ADWA MUST CONQUER ETHIOPIA
>200,000 casualties and various war crimes later
finally an irrelevant piece of dirt that I can't even successfully hold onto and will eventually act as a springboard for the British to invade Italian East Africa
also when they rebel i'll use the tried and true tactic of giving them weapons and equipment as gifts in the hopes that they'll stop fighting me
Benito you are a genius :DDDDD
And your present age shows that you are hopeless.
has any country in Europe been through as much shit as Poland?
Spain.
>>2226416
>has any country in Europe been [s]through[/s] as [s]much[/s] shit as Poland?
>>2226416
Netherlands was owned by Spain. That's worse.
Why isn't there a language as close to English as Dutch is to German or Norwegian is to Swedish?
>>2226391
It's called Scots
>>2226391
Because there's a fucking ocean between them and mainland Europe.
>>2226393
Interesting.
Is Finland a Scandinavian or a Baltic state, and why?
>>2226352
>Scandinavian
Nope. Not a part of the peninsula and not Germanic enough to be an exception like Denmark.
>Baltic
It could have become one if Soviets annexed it
Nordic works and Finnic does too.
Finland is Suomi and the rest is garbage
Eesti may come too, if they behave nicely and don't sell mushrooms
>>2226352
Finland should be considered as part of Scandinavia, since Sweden once owned it.
How large of an impact did the lend lease program of the allies have on the Soviet war machine during WW2?
>>2226326
It was pretty irrelevant during barbarossa but the soviet invasion of europe would have been basically impossible without it
>>2226329
>but the soviet invasion of europe would have been basically impossible without it
Not really, but they would of advanced 100km at a time, rather than 500.
>>2226339
Well maybe. It would have taken a much longer amount of time at the very least

do holocaust deniers have any evidence that doesn't require a massive global conspiracy to be true?
>>2226325
There was a red cross report that concluded only afew thousand jews died in most major camps. Most people reject that report for being inaccurate. Usally holocaust deniers dont reject the idea of the holocaust outright. They just dont think it was ''six gajrillion''
>>2226333
why? if they accept that nazis definitely did want to exterminate the jews and likewise other "untermensch" whats stopping them from killing a large portion of them as efficiently and quickly as possible?
>>2226333
The red cross report you are referring to is of the number of registered GERMANS at a handful of camps (didnt account for anyone else), and those who were registered into the camp (ones able to work)
Is Russia European?
Is Russia Western?
>>2226144
No.
No.
Read about Peter the Great. He was all about trying to Westernize Russia and become more like the Europeans.
>>2226147
but he succeeded
so yes Russia is European, but maybe not western
>>2226144
Depends which side of the Urals you're on.
I know it sounds naive but what does one do other than the obvious reading books and think to become a thinker. Or more like how does he begin to really think because as we know you can read more than enough difficult philosophical text and still not be able to really think anything out of them or really understand them and in general not be able to think.
>>2226016
bump
find people who disagree with you and try to understand them
>>2226016
Learn how to think critically, it really is a skill. Read different philosophers, if that's too heavy read those "[insert philosopher] In 90 Minute" type books. Better yet, there's a podcast called the History of Philosophy Without any Gaps. It's short episodes, the philosophy explained simply, and would give a good overview of the foundations of Philosophy.
How did Stalin lose his sense of morality?
No one running a government is really amoral. But his knowledge of the abstract nature of morality derive from Hegel and Marx.
what makes you think he ever had it?

What is your favorite work of Alternate History?
Bonus points for plausibility.
None of them are plausible.

The piece called Rebirth of an Empire. It concerns a Portuguese empire at it's waning end before the Napoleonic invasion of Iberia. There is a focus on the workings of the state with less of a narrative, towards the end it get's very wankish but the journey is very plausible. It's very old at this point but if currently being rebooted.

Not really including solid stone pyramid and cave-homes type stuff.
Neolithic temples in places like Brittany, Britain and Malta.
Pic related dates from 2800 BC, but some of this stuff goes back past 4000 BC.
