Ugh now I know why the level of discussion here is so low...
For starters add: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/
Add the mandatory Cambridge and Oxford compendiums and Handbooks at least (like: https://www.cambridge.org/core/series/cambridge-ancient-history/010C506409EE858277F898C129759025) Those recommend reading lists are totally random.

Also you will never be able to finish this project without including thousands works which would render the project useless.

There's an amateur historian on Youtube who's pretty good.

>mangas
>podcasts
They may not interest you, but they are very interesting to a 4chan audience. In fact, there's a podcast recommendation and a games recommendation thread here right now, and there frequently are. We can cut down on those by simply listing what might interest people that come here.

>no journals
Journals go in "Other Readings". The name may be a bit misleading.

>no encyclopedias
Encyclopediae go in "Other Readings". There also are three already.

>no online bibliography/research tools
Those go into the Programs & Add-Ons sheets.

>no sources
I don't understand what you mean there.

The age of the battleship was long over when they start using these in the pacific. the importance of aircraft carriers with their long range torpedo and dive bombers could destroy capital warships with ease and practically render them irrelevant in the battlefield. Also the Yamato had very inadequate anti-aircraft guns which made things even worse. The naval war in the pacific was about sinking and destroying each other's aircraft carrier not battleships.

>>2080237
So, how could the Japanese navy fare better than it did ? From what I understood, it was pretty good, and had a few advantages. But its intel was terrible and its codes were easily broken.

>>2080277
The IJN's ships suffered from the lack of radar and other advanced technologies fitted to the US ships at the time. It doesnt help that they also lost most of the aircraft carriers in the battle of midway which effectively sealed the fate of IJN. Also the IJN had no way to replace their losses as the americans can.

Historical myths influence contemporary culture.

>What the fucking hell, how can you unironically be butthurt about a war that happened 200 years ago and that you won at the end?
But Russian history started in 1917.

MLK helped stabilize race relations for decades until the war on drugs fucked it all up. Do you want niggers chimping out in gangs because they get treated like shit or actually working and thinking they're equal?

I am mesmerized by French History. The divine right to rule of the French Kings, the battle for the Revolution, such awesome tales from Western Francia. Civil wars were kickass too.

i feel bad liking others' history. but i'm not proud of my history either

Do you by any chance come from the USA?

Yea. It's called man up.

Yes.

>>2078894
Its not as simple as that.
>>2078896
How?

something something the department of state said they wouldn't care if he did something something bush administration changed their minds because something something bin Laden was planning to station his troops in KSA

>>2078838
because in the previous year he had spent over 40% of his GDP on the military and he couldn't just let it sit there. Also the Iran-Iraq war had shown that Iraq's extremely narrow access to the persian gulf was vulnerable to being cut off. Kuwait was rich as fuck and could expand Iraq's coastline significantly.

He also had gotten mixed signals from the state department since he was buying tons and tons of weapons from the good ol' USA. They didn't care when he fought a war that was blatantly expansionistic against Iran, why would Kuwait be any different, who even cares about Kuwait why is it even a country?

>>2078838
He also chose Kuwait in particular because they were carved out as a British protectorate, so it scored him imperialist points.

Also, there was some evidence, which Saddam found very convincing, to suggest that the Kuwaitis were slant drilling near the border, meaning that they were taking Iraqi oil. For a country just recovering from war and totally dependent on oil revenues, that was a big fucking deal.

A loyal army

-The quality of life in the Western heart of the empire was not effected harshly
-He had not destroyed the heart and soul of his army and had it replaced with conscripts
