Why didn't the US side with Germany in ww2? It would have made more sense to side with a Christian European country that believed in western values than an atheistic communist Asian nation like the Soviet Union
>>2157275
When in doubt jews did it.
Because the USSR showed that it could be contained and it wasn't expansive until the M-R pact. Germany on the other hand wasn't going to be contained and was still very expansionist.
How did the Wehrmacht achieve their stunning victories in France and early operation Barbarossa even though all of their inventory at that time was shitty weaker tanks and the heavier tanks weren't produced until later in the war?
Because they were very lucky
Because they had the element of surprise
Because their opponents were not as well prepared
Because their tactical and operational skills were better
Because individual equipment (especially when it is not entirely outclassed, just perhaps slightly worse on the whole) is not as important as the above
>>2157242
The Manstein Plan basically; Hitler nixed the WW1 Redux favored by High Command in favor of it. Also having much better officers than the French overall, at all levels. Also Gamelin being a chuclefuck.
>>2157242
Tactics, it does not that you have slightly worse equipment as long as you know how to use it.
>at that time was shitty weaker tanks
They had good light tanks, thing is that they later found they had underestimated Russian tanks.

Listening to this in his honor, he also had a very large penis.
>>2157180
Why would they chop it off?
>>2157184
To emasculate him. Also he was widely rumored to have been a sexual deviant.
Tell me about my Swedish and Finnish ancestors! Tell me about some impressive feats and battles of the Swedish Army, the Caroleans, the stronk Hakkapeliitta and so on!
If you're feeling frisky tell me what this Swedes are cucks meme comes from, if it is my measure of refugees isn't Germany in a worse spot?
be careful, all the autistic eurocucks are gonna sperg out because "U RNT UROPEEN", as if only poppe living in Europe have the right to know about their heritage and their ancestors
>>2157176
I move with caution!
I was born in Ukraine (Not full blooded Ukrainian), lived most of my life in Ireland. So rest assured I am pretty European.
>Tell me about my Swedish and Finnish ancestors! Tell me about some impressive feats and battles of the Swedish Army, the Caroleans, the stronk Hakkapeliitta and so on!
Ehh umm a finn here. The hakkapeliitta were light shock cavalry which were know for being revolutionary at the time since they instead of just charging in to enemy infantry they unloaded 2 pistols before drawing swords. First one at 20 meters second at 10 and then drawing swords and throwing themselves in to the fight, this was at the time frightening for anyone fighting against them. The name comes from their preferred battlecry "Hakkaa päälle" translated to Hack on them or Beat on them.

There's the march used by them (the lyrics were created in 1800s but the march itself is heard in Münchens marienplatz everyday from the belltower.
Also before the carolean times swedish armies were according to some accounts 2/3 finnish
Hope that satisfied your needs.
Is there anything special about chinese culture/people or china's geopolitical position that allows them to always bounce back to a top 2 power?
It baffles me that despite getting btfo countless times throughout history, they still manage to assimilate and rebound a few centuries later. If you think about how much blood has been spilled in china from infighting as well, plus famines, it's astounding how a country with such a terrible kda can still be kicking. Take genghis khan for example: slaughtered millions upon millions of chinese, and centuries later, they love him and consider him one of their own.
So which is it, /his/? Han exceptionalism or inevitability from natural resources?
Natural resources and Confucianism
Natural resources allow a high population and its culture allows it to assimilate its invaders rather than the other way around.
Chinks don't really think Genghis Khan is one of their own, it's just how they express their belief that (Inner) Mongolia is part of their rightful clay
How Heretical is the Episcopal Church and what church should I join? I am a former Episcopalian who is considering joining a different church due to my research finding a number of heretical tenets and claims by Church officials, as well as the extremely progressive and openly political outlook of the church (I'm not /pol/ but I don't want politics and religion to mix). I probably won't be joining the Catholic Church (Idol worship) and i'm leaning to Eastern Orthodoxy as I do have some familial connections to the Orthodox Faith. I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask given the huge shitshow that religion threads become on this board but its better asking here then /pol/ or something.
The Catholic Church isn't guilty of idol worship.
>>2157068
It's guilty of systemic child sexual abuse
>>2157081
Protestant churches are statistically worse at that. By far.
We're always digging up these "Venus" figurines. I ask you this as an honest question: how the fuck did cavepeople know what Obese people looked like?
How the fuck do modern Americans know what a thin person looks like? Imagination, man.
>>2156909
Proof that Americans colonized Europe and not the other way around.

Is economics a science?
No, it is a social science, as is anything that draws implicatios about a parameter from a population.
Social sciences are sometimes more useful than science, but the difficulty of proving something or accounting for variables limits them greatly.
it's wealthsplaining
It's impossible for economics to ever be a true science as there's no such thing as a perfect consumer.
/his/ will defend this

Which sect makes more sense theologically, Mormonism or Jehova's Witness?

Jehova's witnesses at least try. Mormonism is just pure LARP.

would operation Barbarossa be a success if germany had never had never adopted the nazis genocidal policy's?
to the perspective of the soviets it would become a war to keep stalin in power instead of a war for survival.

no, the Germans lost the war in '43 and they knew it

thats basically what happened. Also Hitler being a fucking retard and letting his army not retreat and lose at Stalingrad, their actual one chance at turning it all around, simply because"hurr no retreat! unsethes katana!"
I risk being banned, and that's something I'm willing to be threatened with. I would like to have /his/ discuss the music of Sabaton, and how it is historically accurate and inaccurate. I am a fan of Sabaton, and find that all of their music is accurate, and I was wondering if there were any falsehoods in their songs.
>inb4 move to /mu/
>>2156597
It is modern music, and for me it feels wrong to have modern music mixed with historical events.
Its like colored WWI photos, just rubs me the wrong way.
>>2156597
I like them but their lyrics are biased and I still don't understand why there is not a single song about the french

RP and General Rules
There is only one rule: Don’t be a shitter. If you follow this set of rules, you are thereby not a shitter and you are in theory allowed to do what you want on Intcraft, and it will be up to the server population and community to put an end to their own disputes.
Roleplay
1. Building a town/nation must be historically accurate for that location given the current time (650-600BC)
2. Buildings do not have to be 100% accurate, variations are allowed.
3. Towns do not have to be exactly in the same geographical location as they were, but it should be in the same general area.

i urge everyone NOT to play this server. ultimately you end up not being able to do anything unless the admins allow it.
just go read a book or something, far better use of your time

that actually sound like no fun
A lot of these Germanic refugees are fleeing the Huns and just trying to make a new life for themselves. If we accept them, they will assimilate into the dominant Roman culture and be building roads and putting fish sauce on all their food in a generation or so.
Have you read the latest works by Augustine lately? He says even taking pleasure in the consumption of FOOD might be sinful. Crazy.
>>2156490
WE ROMAN EMPIRE NOW ROME BOI!
haha just kidding ANTONIVS you aight
>>2156490
Don't you think it's a coincidence that all this germanic immigration stuff happened after the Romans met the jews and not before like in 100 BC?
History repeats itself.
