This looks very shopped.
This was the birthplace of civilization.
Why isn't it more developed?
>>2074635
We fucked it up and moved on. Hasn't ever worked right since.
>>2074635
Mongols, colonialism, literal tribalism, desertification, religious fanatics, and corrupt dictatorships
Israel is pretty developed :^^^^^^^^^^^^)
honest question?
>>2074554
why not?
>>2074566
His entire philosophy was build around praising hierarchy, the very thing Marx tried to end
He would have probably denounced him as an atheistic Christian
well obviously not since he hated socialists
didn't stop leftists from appropriating and being influenced by his thought though.
oh yeah

What is the procedure to go from king to emperor?
>>2074200
beat the living shit out of other kings, dummy

What is the procedure to go from peasant to emperor?
There is none. The distinction between emperor and king has always been blurry and is made even more blurry when titles in Asia for example are translated into "Emperor" even though they are not equivalent to the western concept of an emperor. Generally emperor means a king of kings, or you having some ties to the Roman Empire.
The Eastern Romans for example gave Charlemagne the right to use the title basileus, but not the right to use basileus Rhomaíōn (emperor of the Romans) so from the Roman perspective Charlemagne became the "Emperor of the Franks". Then the concept of being an Emperor got tied to the pope.
In the colonial era everyone just named themselves empires.

>Not Holy

>And not an Emperor
Hmm... I don't know...
>>2074163
Napoleon himself?
>Literally hangs on to a woman that cucked him. Repeatedly.
Besides Austria as an Empire far outlasted the French """"""""Empire"""""""""""
In wars like World War 1 where trenches were used extensively, why didn't they just shell each others entrenched positions with artillery? How didn't artillery render trenches useless?
>why didn't they just shell each others entrenched positions with artillery
They did. They also used mortars and grenade launchers.
>>2074122
still relatively inaccurate, although deviation could be minimized.
Also, the primary doctrine at the time was softening via artillery, and to take fortified positions with infantry pushes.
There were attempts are quite literally bombarding points out of existence, the battle of Verdun and Paschendale for example.
These attempts were quite literally squeezing every last drop of industrial capacity of all countries at the time, and they simply lacked the efficiency and technology to produce enough destructive power to do so.
They definitely tried though, the pictures of fort douaumont before and after pictures are so incredible that I almost don't believe it.
>>2074131
And officers just sent more people into these deathpit trenches every time a battalion was decimated by enemy shelling? Doesn't seem very cost effective just to send wave after wave of men under the crosshairs of hostile artillery just to hold a position
was napoleon an alpha or beta male?
>manlet
you tell me
>inb4 the cries of the whimpering frenchmen "b-but he was 5'6" and that was average back then!"
still 5'6" cry harder
>>2074124
he was 5' 8" and stooped his neck
also he defeated tons of "alpha males" (tall white guys) so that makes him alpha
I don't believe in the alpha/beta dichotomy.
which landslide was the most impressive?
>FDR - largest margin of electoral vote
>LBJ - largest popular vote percentage
>Nixon - largest area covered
>Reagan - largest amount of electoral vote
Hard to say, Anon.
I'd go with FDR. Johnson was facing down Goldwater, a man before his time (for good or ill). Mondale smashed himself. Nixon is second best.
>>2074101
Honestly none of these are impressive, established popular candidates running against literal who's or people who were extremely unpopular (Barry Goldwater) and winning decisively isn't hard. I would say winning a close race or coming back after being written off takes a lot more effort. That said the LBJ's victory really hurt the GOP so I'm going to go with that one.
How would Trumps rate here?
Could anyone recommend me some documentaries or books on how new york went from a shithole full of gangs to the mega city it is now? just really curious and couldnt find anything on that in particular

The first Byzantine Emperor
Why does /his/ hate Diocletian, anyway?
The hero we needed.
>>2073969
He should've lived longer
I've heard its wrong
Its not. Muslim conquest battle is simply any battle that they were involved in and attempted invasions. People think it's misleading because the second map only involves the crusades.
>>2073893
>>2073898
Not just that, it only counts the initial 3 crusades. It doesn't count any of the other anti-Ottoman battles or even the fucking Reconquista. It's misleading at best, deliberately so at worst, and I'm fairly sure that was intentional.
>>2073893
It isn't really, people will bitch that the second picture doesn't show the Northern Crusades or some shit but the map doesn't even extend there.
