Why he didn't help Hitler, wasn't he fascist too?

>Why he didn't help Hitler
Spain was destroyed by the Civil War and certainly not ready for a world war
>wasn't he fascist too?
Not really. José Antonio Primo de Rivera was but Franco was more of a traditionalist. He was more like Salazar than Mussolini (although I don't believe he corporatized the economy)
He wanted to enter in to the war. But he demanded to much in terms of military aid and territories from France and Hitler got fed up of his bullshit.
>>2041074
He was a jew
Hypothetically speaking how do we achieve this?
Institutions
>>2041068
Lobbying mostly.
>>2041068
Rule of law, including sage enforcement of antitrust law, and the devising of lobbying laws that actually work.
A lot of what he's aiming at, however, is built into the U.S. system of checks and balances as described in the Federalist Papers and provided for in the Constitution.
Unfortunately, the Constitutional system did not provide a rational set of checks and balances for the administrative state, which has grown immensely powerful

>The Franco-Prussian War: The German Conquest of France in 1870-1871 by Geoffrey Wawro
The Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 violently changed the course of European History. Alarmed by Bismarck's territorial ambitions and the Prussian army's crushing defeats of Denmark in 1864 and Austria in 1866, French Emperor Napoleon III vowed to bring Prussia to heel. Digging into many European and American archives for the first time, Geoffrey Wawro's Franco-Prussian War describes the war that followed in thrilling detail. While the armies mobilized in July 1870, the conflict appeared "too close to call." Prussia and its German allies had twice as many troops as the French. But Marshal Achille Bazaine's grognards ("old grumblers") were the stuff of legend, the most resourceful, battle-hardened, sharp-shooting troops in Europe, and they carried the best rifle in the world. From the political intrigues that began and ended the war to the bloody battles at Gravelotte and Sedan and the last murderous fights on the Loire and in Paris, this is the definitive history of the Franco-Prussian War
Very nice book. Gives you background on the political situation of both countries (France was a fucked up mix of Royalists, Republicans, Bonapartistes and Anarcho-Communistes), the technological breakthroughs applied during the war (Chasepot ftw!) and military strategies, which for the french was basically

>Morning in America: How Ronald Reagan Invented the 1980s by Gil Troy
>Did America's fortieth president lead a conservative counterrevolution that left liberalism gasping for air? The answer, for both his admirers and his detractors, is often "yes." In Morning in America, Gil Troy argues that the Great Communicator was also the Great Conciliator. His pioneering and lively reassessment of Ronald Reagan's legacy takes us through the 1980s in ten year-by-year chapters, integrating the story of the Reagan presidency with stories of the decade's cultural icons and watershed moments-from personalities to popular television shows.
Decent book for a quick intro, covers all areas without going too indepth into any one. Really quick read, since the 2nd half of the book is just bibliography and shit you can ignore.

From what experience? The only real experience I can recall between the Crimean War and the Franco-Prussian War is the French intervention in Mexico and some colonial squabbles in Africa and the Far East.

Chinese propaganda.
There's such a thing as outsider art, but has there been such a thing as outsider historians, linguistics, etc? People with no formal training or institutional exposure who ended up producing revolutionary works in a field?
>>2040739
Adam Smith was an outside economist and Daivd Hume was an outside historian afaik

I know of a someone who studied biogeography but he was notorious for his dilettantism and actually got it wrong in the end. I am sure there are many more.
Oh I know: Jared Diamond is one. Nassim Taleb is another.
I do dislike the general attitude towards outsiders. Diamond was wrong on several points, but some just play the "he is not a anthropologist" card.
>>2040739
Because history is based on 'fact' whereas music is subjective, duh
Tell me about Al-Andalus. Was it really that great?
Obviously the multiculturalist propaganda wants to shame Europeans and make Muslims look far superior so that we will cuck for Mudslimes in the future.
But what truth is there to the multicultural paradise of Al-Andalus?

Like every answer to broad questions like that about history, it depends.
Then again, judging by the OP of this thread, you already have an answer in your mind and you just want validation of your worldview.

They weren't happy when they found out that they lost.
In Berlin on Tuesday evening, the 28th, some thousands of people from working-class areas marched into the city centre singing socialist songs and crying out ‘Down with the war!’ and ‘Long live social democracy!’
On the pavements, bystanders showed their disapproval by singing the rousing patriotic songs ‘Wacht am Rhein’ and ‘Heil dir im Siegerkranz’. Half an hour later the police charged and cleared the street, to loud applause from patrons nursing their mugs of hot chocolate on the balconies of Café Bauer and Café Kranzler.

Denmark: An Arch Enemy
Danmark and Sweden has been figthing since 1000s (earliest findings). And we didn't stop figthing untill Napoleon was dead (after the battle at Leipzig). Where I live now use to be a Battlefield for 500 years. Endless war and civil unrest. And the sole enemy was the dane. Some of the greatest tragedies was made by the dane's such as Stockholm blodbad where they killed of the entire royal family and loads of bishops. And the battle of Visby where they ransacked the medival city of Visby.
So my question is, How come we are so close today?
>>2040644
We both lost our empires and saw no reason to continue fighting.

Why do Arabs hate Albanians? Something about being colonized by the Ottomans?
Who doesn't hate Albanians?
Albanians were apostates, jumping ship to another religion when it suited them
Not that familiar with the matter but i assume its because they are mostly the atheist kind of islam due the whole communist rule thing. Which probably causes a lot of butthurt among the more serious kinds of muslims in the arab lands.

Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded his empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him. — Napoleon Bonaparte
All memes and redpill aside, do you think love and faith can prevail in this modern society, if one man can make such a profound impact on pure love why cant we all......
He may have founded his empire on love, but it sure as fuck didn't spread that way.
>>2040454
Wasnt it through spread through missionaries, and martyrs? and progressiveness spread through the roman empire in such ways, but if it wasnt spread through love how you say, then how how was it spread? In your opinion?

how has India managed to avoid balkanisation despite great poverty and a wide range of different ethnic and linguistic groups?
>>2040142
because the indian state allows for people to dissent and give their views and opinions without cracking down on them and it's federal structure effectively allows different states to ensure their culture and heritage aren't suppressed to create a broader national identity.

This. There are states that are run by literal commies.
