God-tier fetish OP.

>>2125053
It was basically masturbation since they were your property

Can you post more qt peasants?

Superior ? Theirs was underwhelming for most of ww2

I'd imagine because they threw men into battle in the same way FDR threw money at our nation's social ills.

Emperor Leo at the Siege of Constantinople.

>tell the Arabs sieging the city to burn all their food so that he could convince the city that he should surrender
>the absolute madmen actually do it

The exactness of this information escapes me, but during WW1 someone pretended to be Ottomans by having their Navy personnel on some battleships wear fez hats and shit, then they attacked a harbor.

This.

If you're a beginner, why would you try to swallow a 65485 volume wall of text? Go with something much more recent and mainstream.

>>2131245
That is a sick nice edition.

no but retards like you who've never read On the Origin sure do love to pretend they're "darwinist" when justifying all of those above acts

>>2131089

>rise in living standards

for the top 10 percent maybe

and by the way, cheap unneeded shit from china really has nothing to do with people's standard of living

>>2131149
Yeah because everyone having a device in their pocket which enables them to find competing goods from across the world and access to all of human knowledge isn't an increase in the standard of living

LOL

Because the Mughals had become weak by than, the emperor had become little more than a figurehead with his governors having basically all the power to fuck each other over. The EIC played this to their advantage by funding both sides in order to get them in a state of weakness where they could exploit them for political and economic gain. Couple that with their total naval dominance and the EIC didn't need a massive army in order to get Indian client states to do their bidding.

>>2129922
Because poos are inferior to Anglo-Saxons.

They played multiple sides in a lot of India's conflicts, profiting no matter the winner. India was too busy being at war with itself to push out Perfidious Albion. The EIC also had superior European weaponry and tactics.

life gets convoluted desu

Jesus paid what we owe, how is that convoluted?

I don't think there has been a king David. So it'd be David or David I.

>>2129871
There have been two King Davids of Scotland already, which I think is what OP is getting at.

Yeah, it's a little confusing. I was gonna say he'd probably be David I since the United Kingdom is a new political entity but then I guess you've still got Elizabeth II and all the various Edwards and Georges.

So yeah, I think he'd be David III.

>>2130153
If i recall properly, it used to just be what ever it would be to England, but I think they changed the law relatively recently so for any new monarchs it takes the higher number of either England or Scotland, could be remembering wrong though

>>2129281
I read an ebook on Napoleon, and I thought its this one? Not so sure anymore. Though I remember it was really, really long.

Anyway, /his/ is for children to boast whos ancestors could beat up the other guy's ancestors, and since british people (sadly) exist, Napoleon is disliked, thus books about him are so too.

>>2129281
I am currently reading this book and I am about half way through and I like it for the most part.

I loved this book, absolutely brilliant

Roberts is obviously heavily biased to Napoleon though

I like him.
His 3 minute history vids are just that. The bare minimum info about a certain historical topic.
His travel videos were a pleasant surprise.
His drawing kinda suck, but i can't judge him for that.

>>2129110
I love the drawings personally, for that exact reason.

I like him

His videos are very good for understanding the foundations of a certain topic, so you understand what it is, and gives you enough knowledge on it to be able to research it further for yourself.

I do wish he sometimes slowed down a little. Maybe I'm just dumb.

On Conics by Appollonius

Well, i'm getting a new pc.
I don't really have any specific wish.
I guess i want my grandparent to live longer, grandpa had a heart attack and a stroke this year.
