The word "autism" wasn't even coined until the mid-1800's you numpty. You will never get reliable information on the mental health status of historical figures. It's all just hearsay.
Let's play a game /his/
Starting with the Letter A and going through to Z (when we reach the end, return to A and start again), pick a country, event, or person that begins with that letter (In the case of battles it can be "The Battle of _____"). Then tell us something interesting that happened with your choice.
A - Achaemenid Empire
Although not the largest empire in history, at the height of the Achaemenid Empire there were an estimated 35 million people living under their rule. Given that the total population of the world at the time is estimated to be around 100 million people, this makes the Achaemenid Empire the most globally dominant empire in history with about 35% of the human population following the satrap system despite only controlling 3.6% of the world's total land surface. The closest runner up is Great Britain which once controlled 26% of the global population and are the all time champions of empire sizes at owning close to a quarter of the world at one time.
B - Belisarius
One of the greatest generals in history, one of his earliest military sucesses was putting down what was arguably the worst sport riot in history.
For chariot races in the Roman Empire people would form, much like today, clubs which supported their favourite players. By the Byzantine era the only sports teams with any influence were the Blues and Greens. Emperor Justinian I was a supporter of the Blues. The team associations had become a focus for various social and political issues.
In 531 some members of the Blues and Greens had been arrested for murder in connection with deaths that occurred during rioting after a recent chariot race. The men were supposed to be hung but they escaped and an angry mob formed. The men were pardoned to disperse the angry mob and new races were scheduled to be held.
But the day of those races came and at race 22, the partisan chants had changed from "Blue" or "Green" to a unified Nίkα ("Nika", meaning "Win!!" or "Conquer!"), and the crowds broke out and began to assault the palace. For the next five days, the palace was under siege. They then declared a new emperor, Hypatius, who was a nephew of former Emperor Anastasius I.
Justinian created a plan that involved Narses, a popular eunuch, as well as the generals Belisarius and Mundus. Carrying a bag of gold given to him, the slightly built eunuch entered the Hippodrome alone against a murderous mob that had already killed hundreds. Narses went directly to the Blues' section, where he approached the important Blues and reminded them that Emperor Justinian supported them. He also reminded them that the man they were crowning, Hypatius, was a Green. Then, he distributed the gold. Then, in the middle of Hypatius's coronation, the Blues stormed out of the Hippodrome. The Greens sat, stunned. Then, Imperial troops led by Belisarius and Mundus stormed into the Hippodrome, killing the remaining rebels.
About 30,000 rioters were reportedly killed.

C- Cynocephalus. So certain were medieval people that these creatures existed, the Pope had to issue a Bull stating that yes, they had souls, and yes, they should be evangelised.
D - Diogenes

Is a history degree shit? If so/not so, why?
Depends, how you feel about spending rest of your life by flipping burgers at local McDonald's?
Become officer in the military
>>2199779
It's great as long as you're also good at brewing coffee and flipping burgers. A college degree will definitely raise your chances of getting hired at the fast-food restaurant of your choice.
What is better and empeaches this?

What would happen if Marc Antony won the Civil War?
He gets assassinated and basically the third century crisis comes earlier.
>>2199738
If "winning" means just defeating Augustus, he'd have to placate the shit out of the plebs because muh roman tyranny > oriental tyranny. I doubt he'd be assassinated, but the second he falls off the perch Rome would fall apart.
>>2199737
Why does absolutely no historical source provide the supposedly amazing speech that Mark made after Caesers assassination to incite the plebs to rebel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Blokhin
>Hand-picked for the position by Joseph Stalin in 1926, Blokhin led a company of executioners that performed and supervised numerous mass executions during Stalin's reign, mostly during the Great Purge and World War II. He is recorded as having executed tens of thousands of prisoners by his own hand, including his killing of about 7,000 Polish prisoners of war during the Katyn massacre in spring 1940, making him the most prolific official executioner and mass murderer in recorded world history.

Why are Russians incapable of executing people by firing squad instead of having one guy do it all by himself sequentially, seriously are Russians incapable of doing things like normal fucking people?
>>2199663
Less people doing the killing = less suicides from guilt.

Not necessarily, provided they have sufficient local autonomy and sufficient national representation.
What was the point of Operation Citadel?
a gamble by hitler who was on amphetamines at the time
you cannot win a war by defense only, germany certainly couldnt
the kursk pocket would have been a devastating loss for the red army giving the initiative back to the wehmacht
it is up for debate if it was a deliberate bait by the soviets or they just got knowledge of german plans in time
either way, there was no chance of getting through that defense with anything
>>2199685
Wrong. It was entirely conceived by the German high command. Hitler himself was opposed to the plan, and made them call it off early.
"Hitler ruined everything" is a meme pushed by German generals post-war who didn't want to have to take responsibility for their fuck-ups.
What would have happened if in 1940 after conquering France, Hitler launched no more major campaigns and focused entirely on researching the atom bomb from then on, and also on stockpiling resources and producing better tanks/strategic bombers?
nothing
because Hitler believed in Aryan physiks™
>>2199600
Economy would have still imploded from inflation and the pretend money he was printing to help fuel rearmament.
Russia would have access to all their technological advances thanks to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
Polish uprising would still have been a thing to deal with which would probably end violently and encourage Britain and the USA to act.
He would have already lost several prominent Jewish-German scientists who could have worked on the Atom bomb like Einstein, Max Born, Otto Stern, James Franck, Fritz London, and Francis Simon. They were all major players in the development of nuclear weapons, and it's pretty hard to downplay how much Hitler's anti-semitism lost him some of the best minds in Germany. Has he adopted a more Bismarkian realpolitik attitude and made exceptions or something for "Jews who have contributed to the aryan success" or something.
Historically is this true?
>>2199581
No.
