I am not a communist, but can we agree that Stalin was great?
Not in the sense that every country should emulate Soviet Union, but that he was the right man at the right time to industrialize Russia

Russia would've industrialized fast regardless of him, it started in the 1890s.
>>
>>3387006
Russia was incredibly backwards compared to western European power. The Tsarist elite was unable and unwilling to industrialize

Oh so you're historically illiterate, thanks for mentioning that.

Anybody else likes history not because of historical figures and events, but because it allows you to feel how life was in different epochs? For example, I like old movies where you can see details of everyday life and videos about history of popular culture, but they hardly can be considered historical as such.

I like it because it allows me to understand that all but a few things are concrete and that humans are quite remarkable in their ability to set up new socioeconomic and political systems to adapt to their environment, maximize available resources, and deal with competing polities. Seeing a civilization being birthed out of sustenance hunting and gathering is truly amazing.

>>3386984
Of all these, I only find amazing the exponential growth of civilization.

Hey /his/. I've recently started getting into history and was wondering if some of you could redpill me on things that aren't taught in school here or some misconceptions about my homeland.

You used to be a fairly powerful kingdom and rekt the byzantines quite a bit.

>>3386833
You are a melting pot with germanics, Slavic and mongoloid people and you speak a mongoloid language

HUNgary, really make you think
>>
>>3386848
What about Thracians? Also could you elaborate a little more on the Germanics part? I've never heard anything about that.

Compared to the Republic and Empire, it feels like the Roman Kingdom is rarely talked about. The seven kings ending in Tarquin the Proud must have had some interesting stuff going on in their time, but that section of Roman history seems overlooked.

More like there's little to talk about

Because it was already ancient history even back during the the roman republic era.
>>
>>3386832
The problem is that very little of the kingdom of rome is documented fact. Even for the romans most of it was legend and storytelling than actual history written down.

Any good books/sources on ancient Germanic tribes?

Yes:

Thanks. I've always had an interest in ancient Germanic and Celtic tribes,but haven't found many books exclusively dedicated to them

It's not unique to American culture, Britain has Dick Turpin, Australia has Ned Kelly, I'm sure every country has some romanticized villain

Is the bow a meme weapon? Every strategic archer victory had depended on cavalry tactics. Bowfags go on and on about MUH CRECY but it changed nothing about how little archers were respected. It's only today that armchair generals act like they were the most important part of any army.

They were an important aspect of combined arms and any army that ignored employing sufficient missile troops got its ass kicked. Nothing more, nothing less.
On a side note, great way to stay in shape and working out your upper body, and take down small to medium sized game. Wouldn't shoot a moose with it but it would fuck up your average deer.

It's a supporting weapon

Arrows aren't particularly deadly, especially compared to say, a bullet.

If periods of conflict produce a "tough and moral society" and periods of peace produce "weakness"

Is artificially manufacturing conflict the only way to prevent people from going "soft", at least in developed societies?

I'm trying to explore the "back in my day we weren't so soft" arguments and I don't want to post this on /pol/

They're like modern day Nazis. They grew up in a society distant from both ideologies and where both ideologies were shunned.

They're misinformed and suspicious of information to boot.
