Important people don't write books, rather, they act and have books written about them.

They were planning to invade them
Italy was p happy with pre-war fascism tho

what's not
I know most of /his/ isn't too fond of modernist architecture, but I think mid-century modernism can be quite comfy.
The early stuff (1945-1970) looks much less cold and sterile than the stuff I often see posted in modernist hate threads.
I also think that the U.S.A. did it much better than Europe.
>>2150201
Why this board is not to fond on modernist architecture?
>>2150385
Because they want to display signaling mechanisms that they have refined taste, but they're all autistic or teenagers, so they signal badly by using outdated signals.
>>2150385
Because most of the time it's hideous as fuck. There's some good modernist buildings here and there, but when the European nations start tearing down historic buildings or 'renovating' them for the sake of modernization, then there is a problem.
If Chinese characters had never been invented, what sort of script would they have (eventually) ended up with? How would it have influenced their literature and language?
>if Chinese characters had never developed, what Chinese characters would have developed?
>>2150188
Actually, my assumption was that if they had never developed their own script that they would have eventually ended up borrowing a script from someone else (you know, like the Europeans did), and was wondering what script would be likely.
Something based off Sanskrit, and the literature associated therewith: Buddhist sutras, etc. Like Tibet.
Lets suppose time travel was possible and someone went back to 1939 and assassinated Hitler before WW2 could happen. How would history have turned out?
Would nuclear fission, rockets, integrated circuits and computers ever have been discovered?
Does it matter? It did happen... And we have only to learn from it. It also doesnt appear that we have moved that far away from that evil. Its unfortunate really..
He becomes a martyr and the Nazis get someone in charge who isn't totally incompetent regarding military tactics.
uhh
Goering or Hess would have run the show?
Hi, /his/.
Help a guy that wants to get into Roman History with just absolutely basic knowledge on the topic. What book should I read? Any videos on the topic? Any podcasts?

As someone with a lifelong fondness for Roman history (no Romaboo) one of my all time favorites is Dr. Adrian Goldsworthy

You can find his books in your local Barnes and Noble or order them online.

Why have Protestant nations historically been more prosperous and successful in war than Catholic nations?
Immediately after liberating themselves from the Hapsburgs the Dutch republic kicked the Spanish and Portuguese out of the East Indies and became the richest nation in the world.
Britain kicked France out of North America and would go on to become a superpower, and only be eclipsed by its own colony.
France achieved it's greatest victories when ruled by a deist.
Germany/Prussia repeatedly blew France the fuck out.
Italy's military history is just embarrassing. Austria was completely carried by Germany in the Great War, and even lost to the Russians when by themselves.
Spain experienced nothing but decline since the reformation.
And also the biggest advancements in science, technology, medicine, etc have mostly come from Protestant nations.
>>2149962
It has less to do with religion and more to do with the fact that Northern Europeans are racially superior to Southern Europeans.

>Immediately after liberating themselves from the Hapsburgs the Dutch republic kicked the Spanish and Portuguese out of the East Indies
They just bullied Portugal that had an smaller population. They failed miserably to invade the Phillipines and theit power was reduced to nothing by the XVIII century
> Britain kicked France out of North America and would go on to become a superpower, and only be eclipsed by its own colony.
Britain lost most of the time. And never became a superpower
> Germany/Prussia repeatedly blew France the fuck out.
No it didn't
>Spain experienced nothing but decline since the reformation.
No it didn't. The XVIII century was a quite good century for Spain
wtf am I reading
/his/ can you tell me everything about Austria? Well not everything, just the most interesting stuff.
>how were they created?
>who was their best military commanders?
>who was their best nobility?
>How were they created
The HRE made them
>Who was their best military commanders
The Holy Roman Emperors
>who was their best nobility?
See above

if you're interested in their military in the napoleonic wars here's a good website for information on that stuff
http://www.napolun.com/mirror/web2.airmail.net/napoleon/Austrian_infantry.htm
also Bohemia and Moravia were objectively the best part of the empire
Austria was created as a buffer zone to stop Magyars (Hungarians) from raiding the >H>R>E
Prior to that, the territory had been Bavarian. They were originally a Celtic culture/people, who got Romanized and then Germanized.

>begin by talking about ideals of masculinity
He's not even an armchair historian. He's an armchair liberal ideologue.

He's as reliable as Lindy Beige.

The question is not whether or not Ethiopics/Somalis/Nubian etc are negroid. They aren't. The question is whether or not they can be reasonably considered black. Let's hear both sides, folks.
>>2149749
They are evolved niggers obviously because they look more like us.
>>2149749
Do they look black? If yes, then they are black.

What advantages does mace have over warhammers? It seems just flat out inferior considering it can only bash while warhammers also have a spike.
It doesn't matter which angle you hit with, just bash around like a mad chimp.
Why are you using maces and warhammers?
Didn't RuneScape teach you anything?
>>2149653
now you don't have to choose what side to hit them with at a moments notice
you can stab and smash at the same time likewise the stabbing will reduce the initial resistance allowing for more damage.
1. How is it possible to care about philosophy when you realise that you are literally flailing about within the infinitely large space of unfalsifiable possibilities? The only difference between STEM and other parts of philosophy is that in STEM the axioms and criteria for validity are more widely accepted. That's it.
2. What the hell can a non-STEM philosopher who works at Harvard or Oxford POSSIBLY have to say, that is either / both: non-trivial or uses axioms that are extremely widely accepted? It never happens!
3. Why do people pretend that "objective" morality exists? Why isn't it acknowledged that in a non-universally Christian society without a widespread belief in a god who is external to the universe, the idea of "objectivity" collapses in to a trivial "whatever I define it to be" (a human definition").
Replace "morality" and "objective" with "quiggle" and "bibble" respectively, two terms with arbitrary definitions. Does bibble quiggle exist? This shows how absurd people are in thinking that philosophers can have anything to say. I just provided two arbitrarily defined words that we can argue about for the next 2000 years? So why do philosophers not talk about bibble quiggle or "Does an objective list of rules for Football exist?"? That's easy to answer. (NOTE: THE ANSWER RELATES TO "PRACTICE OF PHILOSPHY", NOT "PHILOSOPHY" I'm not I shitting on reasoning itself). The answer is that philosophers are instantly drawn to the important sounding questions in order to gain attention and funding. They flee any field that has been colonised with scientists who use maths at a greater than high school level, even though they truthfully tell us that the scientific method is merely one out of infinitely many methods.
Note: AT ROOT, I simply point out the trivial conclusion that an unfalsifiable system is infinitely large. So I don't even shit on philosophers or the pseudo intellectual hangers on. THEY shit on everyone else because other people didn't bother learning their ONE particular self referential system out of the INFINITE possible number. Don't ask me why I shit on unfalsifiability. I don't. Ask why Philosophers, as Philosophy is currently practised, shit on everything other than themselves.
You have no ability to analyze or think.
