He's French, what did you expect?
What's funny is that the French have to guts to claim they did anything in WW2.
Even Italy did more to liberate it's self than France.

He's an appalling cunt who actively sabotaged the Allied war effort.
He told people not to accept the "invasion money" that had been printed up for Allied troops to buy things from, saying it was counterfeiting.
He told the head of either MI6 or SOE in France, who had been working undercover and risked horrible torture and death every day to free France, to get out within 24 hours of the liberation, as he was a foreign spy.

You had to pay a tax and be humiliated by the Muslims in everyday activities, but you also got to be much wealthier than the average Muslim and live in your old Greek cities almost like normal.

>got to be much wealthier than the average Muslim
How so?
Was it just a case of "only wealthy Christians with a vested business interest in the country bothered to live there?"
>>
>>2132950
Non-muslims were not allowed to be in army. So while muslims died in battles others prospered.

Maybe there's a reason why hoplite armies didn't exactly control large areas of territory and why the Macedonians became so much more effective once they reduced their gear weight and try to make their marching combat forces less dependent on personal servants

On the eve of the traditional date of the birth of a young boy named Yeshua, let's turn to his forefather, David. I'm sure some of you are aware that some of Saul's house had baal names, including his successor to the throne, Ishbaal (censored as Ish-bosheth in Samuel), and Jonathan's son, Meribaal (Mephi-bosheth in Samuel).But Saul's line is not alone in the bible, Baal names occur even in the line of David.
Here's 2nd Samuel 5:16, a segment of a list of the names of children born to David in Jerusalem:
>Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet
At first glance we can find no trace, not even a hint of ba'al in this list, unlike the quite suspicious bosheth censors (as it means shame). El names are already known to be common in the bible. However once again chronicles produces hidden gems. Here is the same list from 1st Chronicles 14:7:
>Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet
The author of Samuel's censor is revealed. There are some who would argue that there is no guarantee that these names are specifically referencing Ba'al Hadad. Ba'al, although often used as shorthand for Hadad, could be used to for several other gods as it simply is the title lord, it could perhaps even be refering to Ba'al YHWH. However this fails to account for why these names would need to be censored later.
Though in a way I think this criticism is exactly right: these names could be refering Yahweh as Ba'al, but not Ba'al Yahweh. There's a rather curious name of a warrior who joined David at Ziklag in 1st Chronicles 12:6- Bealiah, which translates to Ba'al is Yah. This could support the theory that Ba'al was used as a title for Yahweh, or it could be a proclamation that Yahweh IS Ba'al. This would follow what has been know for a long time, which is that YHWH's cult was quite heavily synchronized with Ba'al's, from the residence of Mount Zaphon, being refered to as the "cloud rider" to the slaying of Leviathan. Cont.

Also, there is support for this Ba'al is Yahweh theory in the Elijah tradition of Kings.
>1st Kings 18:21
>Elijah approached all the people and said, "How long will you keep hopping between two opinions? If YHWH is God (translated from elohim), follow him, and if Baal, follow him!"
According to Elijah, Elohim (literally gods, but often used in the bible in the singular in much the same way that we use God in english instead of god) was identified as both Yahweh and Ba'al. In other words Yahweh and Ba'al were considered to be the same deity. I propose that in the early development towards monotheism both Yahweh and Ba'al were both considered to be the Most High god, Elohim. But at some point Yahweh purists began trying to purge the Ba'al from the cult.

Wrong, Turkey is not the ancestral home of the Turks.
These were either pre-PIE peoples or Ancestral Hittites.

this, at worst it'll be like fucking Peter O'Toole's death where like a dozen dudes would just bitch about it all day every day so they finally gave him a sticky like a year after he had died just to shut them up lol.

Would Hitler of had a realistic shot at invading and occupying the USA if he had played his cards right?

No.
Even Japan had better odds at an occupation than the Germans. At least they occupied a few of our islands for a while.
Germany's best hope was Americans staying out of it, or retreating and staying out of it when their allies were defeated

They indeed contributed a lot on the sea (although their involvement was only due to the fact they had been a French vassal since 1701)

They didnt contribute militarily
I'm even sure they took part in supplying, I think all they did was officially expressing their support

He is, in all honestly, my favourite monarch. The failure of his policies was a tragedy for the Habsburg lands.
