Spain had plenty already.
But the treaty of Tordesillas didn't contain even half of current Brazil, as it happens during the Iberian Union everything became a spanish colony, which gave free reign to brazillians and newly arrived portuguese to scatter inland into previously spanish but uncolonized territory.
When the Iberian union ended, this land remained with Portugal.

GOD DAMN IT HANS! Your last stupid Tiger was in the mud with a broken engine for days. Why the fuck did you want an even heavier one?
>>2219362
This kills a tiger
heres a serious question
your in allied territory with your squad, fire team whatever and enemy territory is not THAT far away
now say theres a Tiger literally sitting in an empty field near you, not moving at all
what would the process be to it? I could be uncrewed and empty for all your squad leader knows, but then again it might be a trick? whats the course of action that was taking in situations like this
How could one man be so wrong about everything?

They are all right about specific things.

In human history, who or what is responsible for the most human deaths?
hitler

Depending on how narrowly you count a single "cause", I'd probably suggest post-childbirth wound infection.
Mao Zedong
How did you start learning history?
Well, throughout history, man has evolved to know that it comes to knowing how to with or holding in like it for what it's worth on doing.

Is there any merit to the argument that places which were colonized-such as South America or Africa-which aren't in super great condition today, can't blame their misfortune on European "exploiting" them as it wasn't Europe's fault that they were we advanced?
I always hear the "fact" that Africa, for example, is in such a shitty state due to exploitation, and "WE WUZ KANGS" aside how come they didn't put up more of a fight to Europe?
Couldn't the argument be made that these places have been inferior from the get go?
As little /pol/ as possible please, I'm juts curious about why some places happened to advance more than others.
> why some places happened to advance more than others
Pure luck. Why some place is destroyed by the natural disaster, but not the other? Pure fucking luck.

Does anyone still have that meme of the table of nationalities of Europe along with their temperament, appearance, etc?

Deforestation and resource wars.

Syphilis and other disease from European sailors.
Deforestation happened but they adapted, the first and second European accounts however show drastic shifts.
Ancient Egyptian royalty used to regularly practice incest and cleopatra was wed to her brothers. Egyptian kings would regularly marry their sisters. At what point in history did the practise of having sex with your sister become taboo and is it time we overcome this historical taboo?
>>2218790
why is incest now considered a lower class thing when the rulers did it?
it was taboo for the plebs but not for the kangz because they all descend from reptilian anunaki and have to preserve the bloodline
>>2218790
Close incest was made taboo by common sense very early in human history, and the rulers often thought they were outweighing the occasional downsides by maintaining the purity of the bloodline. Incest in cousins likely saw it's downfall with the dissolution of the Nobility in europe, especially the collapse of the Habsburgs after generations of horribly damaging inbreeding. In answer to your second question, No. The risks, (Recessive traits and malformed offspring) far outweigh the benefits (None?)
Why it took thousands of years to discover force gravity if it is pretty self-evident to everybody who falls?

What are the best books about the Punic Wars?
All I've read are the Wikipedia articles, but not much else.
I'm going to grab the Penguin Classics of Livy's History of Rome, but I also wanted a more contemporary view on the conflicts.
I was thinking about grabbing the Punic Wars by Adrian Goldsworthy, along with his other book The Complete Roman Army.
I was also looking at Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization by Richard Miles.
Will these books be able to give me a comprehensive understanding of The Punic Wars?
Also, Rome general thread, I guess.
Carthage Must be Destroyed gives a great account of the wars. As the author himself says, pretty much everything we know about the Carthaginians, outside of archaeological remains, was written by the Romans, so a good 75ish percent of the book is a very detailed account of the Punic Wars.
>>2219578
this. CMBD is great and Goldworthy's work you mention is also very respected. I think they will indeed give you a comprehensive view but I know of other works that I've posted in previous threads on the punic war if you're interested

that sounds great!

4. For my own part, I agree with those who think that the tribes of Germany are free from all taint of intermarriages with foreign nations, and that they appear as a distinct, unmixed race, like none but themselves. Hence, too, the same physical peculiarities throughout so vast a population. ALL HAVE FIERCE BLUE EYES, RED HAIR, HUGE FRAMES, fit only for a sudden exertion. They are less able to bear laborious work. Heat and thirst they cannot in the least endure; to cold and hunger their climate and their soil inure them.

If you aren't red haired; blue eyed, and tall you're ceternainly not Germanic, but merely some kind of mongrel.

In 1943, Stalin made 2 peace overtures to Hitler, and Hitler rejected them both because he insisted on keeping ukraine even though it was obvious at the time Germany had no hope of winning the war and was going to get its shit pushed in hard after operation torch. What the fuck was his problem? He could have possible avoided the entire destruction of Germany if he'd just agreed to return to the antebellum on the eastern front.
You're assuming that Hitler was a rational thinker.
