Who from /his/tory would you like to spend christmas with?
>>2137830
Poor Oskar, he just didn't know when to stop drinking.
Lindybeige
Just saw this on Twitter.
How accurate can this possibly be?
I mean, it is rather obvious that progress, especially technological, took off in mid 17th century in Europe but still...
>>2137821
Considering it encompesses all achievements from the 16th century and onward, I'd say it wouldn't be far from the truth.
This looks subjective. What do you consider as a significant event or a significant event? And the text even states that there are errors like the fact that Germany and Italy didn't even exist as nation states until the 1800s. And how do you attribute a accomplishment if the person who did it was either of mixed blood, lived in several nations during his life, or considered himself one nationality when he was in fact from another?
>>2137847
That's why I used ''Europe''.
As for significant... I don't know - steam engine and the industries it spawned/forced to evolve?
The boom in metallurgy, physics, chemistry...
/his/ Compendium of Resources - v1.1
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Hg54SCNIHrP7xaoDrw9xrFTekQZ_Eg6N175s8ywl1ng/
I tried addressing some of the criticism from the last thread by adding a new sheet called "Bibliographies & Collections". As my hover tooltip says:
>This sheet is supposed to contain bibliographies and shared collections. The goal is to give you an idea of what resources you might want to search for, or to share them in batches (if individually, then put it in Recommended Reading: Books).
Furthermore, "How to get literature" has been renamed to "Search Tools" and the hover tooltip more accurately reflects the purpose of the sheet, the one for "Other Readings" now also explicitly lists journals and the sheet for unsorted material has been moved to the left.
"Recommended Reading: Books" is still a random mess, though. Without either focusing on narrower topics or finding a better way to structure the sheet, it would quickly grow to an unusable point. Considering the scope of a resource collection for a board about "History & Humanities", that does seem inevitable, though, which is a fundamental problem of this project, especially if all the resources from multiple totally opposing and conflicting ideologies are incorporated. /lit/ seems to have managed it somehow, though.
What can be learned from their wiki and similar projects - in fact, from encyclopediae in general?
I'm always open for suggestions on how to improve the /his/ Compendium of Resources. Everything is open for remodeling.
Resource types of which more recommendations are most needed:
bibliographies
academic journals
music
Also, post anything /his/-related you can recommend.
I don't know how to use it, sorry.
>>2138101
It's a Google Sheets file. There are categories at the bottom you can click on, then scroll up and down.
>>2138279
Oh, I see them now. Thanks.
Tabs are usually at the top of the page.
How is Josef treated in the Christian tradition? I don't know much except he literally gets cucked by god and becomes a part of My Wife's Son: The Religion
>>2137593
>Dank Maymays: The Post
>>2137599
Not really? Christians rave on and on about Mary but Joseph's just kinda sidelined. And literally nothing I said is wrong.
Oh look! another /his/ OP manages to reduce 2000 years of interesting history and religion to a cuck meme.
>call things spooks
>haven't read ego and it's own

That describes people who spout Stirner memes.

Feels good
>>2137406
I just really like the word spook. I've read the definition on google if that helps.
Who was the best king and why was it carolus Rex ?
Because he was litererally an autistic sperglord who couldn't do anything else but wage war and do war related activities.
This led to 21 years of interesting military history.
Letting Sweden exist was a mistake.

Kalmar Union v.2 when?
How wasn't the Korean peninsula eaten by China over the many thousands of years of Chinese development?
t. ancient history brainlet.
the koreans resisted fiercely and started a buncha fucking wars in order to stay independent against the chinese. plus their land had a fuck ton of mountains and winter there usually killed invaders due to attrition.
>Waging a land war in Asia
I bet you also go in against Sicilians when death is on the line.
>>2136807
you cant invade mountains. even with modern armies your casualties tend to skyrocket when it comes to mountains. also romans - scotland and so on and so on
Merry Christmas, /his/. You are best board.

>tfw to smart to be not be a libertarian monarchist
You know nothing about political science.
I don't understand. All libertarian systems result in monarchies.

What was the most "/m/" moment in history?

Trojan horse is pretty much /m/ for its time
>lose every war they fought in
>feel entitled to dictate the terms of peace
Why is this allowed?
>>2136023
Because at this point the pali bigwigs get more out of the current situation than out of negotiating peace.
>>2136023
War is simply politics by another means. Just because you kicked their ass today doesn't mean they are losing strategically. Viet Nam can teach us that one.

Any of you go to /r/badphilosophy?
What do you guys think about the place?

At least it's better than /his/ or /lit/
They seem like a bunch of lefties desu. Not that I'm a /pol/-fag but something about the smugness of leftwing people rubs me the wrong way
>>2135977
It's pretty memetic place, that is for sure.
Is there any significant history surrounding North/South America before any sort of European influence?
Do we even know any names or events?
Also Merry Christmas!
>>2135937
Central/South America is better in this respect because they at least possessed a few "civilizations," and some were accomplished enough to invent writing.
But overall we have few concrete names and dates, just patterns we can extrapolate based on genetic, archaeological, and linguistic observations. We know for example that the Inuit are members of one of the most recent waves of migrants, that the Navajo were "invasive" in the sense that they displaced several older native cultures, that people somehow got to Peru/Chile before most of the rest of the Americas, etc.
But in the pedantic interpretation of the word "history," then no, we have tragically few written records of events, and those that do exist are centralized in a scant few locations.
>>2136130
Why is that so? Did the savages just not know how to write?
>>2136164
Writing has only been independently developed a handful of times in the history of humanity, roughly once on each continent. Not being able to write doesn't make them savages.
Was Iconoclasm justified?
Question, were the Iconoclasts in the Byzantine empire more religious or less religious than the bog standard Orthodox faggots? As I understand it can mean either.
>>2135868
Are you talking about Byzantine iconoclasm?
From what perspective are you asking if it was justified?
>>2135872
Far more. The standard Orthodox who opposed it were urban degenerates in the west.
What went wrong?
>>2135860
The continuing growth of the Bureaucracies. They required more and more literate peasant clerks in order to run their Kingdoms, and relied less and less on the loyalty of vassals. Meanwhile the increasing centralization of the medieval Kingdoms reduced the dependence on feudal fiefs for military matters. Gradually this rendered the old Nobility irrelevant, and left them with nothing at all to do but waste away their days in tournaments and other activities.
>>2135860
Turns out heavy cavalry isnt the force it was in the face of pike and shot and cannons.
Oldfags just salty.
>>2135877
Quality answer.
