Why is Auschwitz the "face" of the Holocaust, for lack of a better term? I mean, yeah, it was a huge camp with a lot of murders, but everyone knows the name of Auschwitz, far more so than even the other death camps; most people don't know names like Belzec or Chelmno, let alone places like Janowska, Flossenburg, Plaszow, or the more anonymous trenches where the Einsatzgruppen did their work.


Why so much focus on this one camp and not the others?

Because Auschwitz actually was taken like Bergen-Belsen or Dachau. Treblinka and other camps for Operation Reinhard where razed by the Nazis. Also thousands survived Auschwitz and where able to tell the story, only a handful of people managed to survive the Reinhardt camps.

>>2014914


Then why not Majdanek? It was the first camp liberated, captured almost completely intact. Hell, it was near city instead of in the middle of nowhere like the others.
>>
>>2014952
No idea, maybe because Auschwitz was the biggest camp, had industrial killing and many witnesses. Maybe it was some Anglo-Soviet thing.

What keywords and phrases should I search to find resources on material stuff from the past? Do you know any related resources?

Had the Axis powers won the second World War, how would the Third Reich as an empire compare to other great European empires in history?

They wouldn't, because Germans would rewrite history to their likenings.

It would be nigger-tier we-wuzing.
>>
>>2014624

Badly.

Germany has no real means of striking at England, let alone the U.S. Positing a German victory (already extremely difficult) probably means defeating the USSR in some manner, and then enduring Anglo-Allied attacks until such time that the Western powers decide they can't dislodge Nazi Europe and recognize most if not all of their conquests.

In such time, you'd face enormous bombing raids by the Anglo-Allies, since they had air power and little else to hit the Germans with, and come 1945, nuclear weapons.

Depending on when exactly they throw in the towel, you're probably looking at a German "Empire" ruling over the baking, irradiated cinder of Europe.
>>
>>2014662
Not to mention that Nazi Germany was a North Korea tier government.Even without a devastating bombing campaign, Germany likely would be a pathetic shithole the world feels bad for withing a decade or two.

>Operation Unthinkable was a code name of two related plans of a conflict between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union. Both were ordered by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1945 and developed by the British Armed Forces' Joint Planning Staff at the end of World War II in Europe.

>The first of the two assumed a surprise attack on the Soviet forces stationed in Germany in order to "impose the will of the Western Allies" on the Soviets. "The will" was qualified as "square deal for Poland" (which probably meant enforcing the recently signed Yalta Agreement). When the odds were judged "fanciful", the original plan was abandoned. The code name was used instead for a defensive scenario, in which the British were to defend against a Soviet drive towards the North Sea and the Atlantic following the withdrawal of the American forces from the continent.

What do you think would have happened in the case of war between the Western Allies and the USSR following the defeat of Germany?

Russian's had their best chance from '70-80, in some scenarios possibly even winning a European war, anything before and after those dates is just too lopsided towards the Americans to possibly win
>>
>>2014446

extremely variable

we could have pre 1949 with or without nukes

or post 1949 with or without nukes

Let's just give them a break post WW2 and then a conventional war erupts, per the Soviet assault

Soviets might be able to get an initial land superiority, but recall that they, having been some irrelevant peasant nation only a few decades ago, would not be able to hold for long, outproduced by USA+UK. Recall that with the fall of the USSR, Western Lend Lease was revealed to have played a critical role in helping the Soviets win in the east. While the Soviets do have some nice low altitude aircraft (like Yak-3), western high altitude stuff like the B-17/24/29 and the P-51 would pound the shit out of Soviet infrastructure, logistics, and other useful things with no opposition. At least Germans had some aircraft with high altitude performance. Not to mention the USSR lacked a capable navy, with no carriers and even pre-WWI shit. It would be a difficult war, but the West would ultimately prevail.

Seriously, why didn't they do this? The US was the only nuclear-armed state at the time, there's pretty much no way they could have lost, and it would have prevented the decades of commie bullshit they had to deal with after the war

Redpill me on the geopolitics of the countries in pic related (not just Europe). Who were the players and who were the pawns? What were the hot spots? Who were the big shots? Who were the dominant and rival political and religious factions? What nations and factions were on the rise and on the fall? Etc.

Book recommendations also welcome.

Galtieri thought he would get support from the USA (which clearly shows how ignorant the military joint was). They were trying to regain somehow the support from the poblation, which was almost gone, since the reclaiming of Islas Malvinas had been an Argentinean cause for a 100 years already. As it turns out it didn't work and after loosing the war they had to bail out of goverment. And also this >>2014333

My history teacher today was going over the Punic wars and she told us all that Hannibal was a black man. I've seen several shows and documentaries portraying him as black as well. So what's the story? I've seen some Eurocentric sources claim he was white but I'm not convinced. What's the truth /his/?

so can you be nihilistic but also believe in logical positivism

you believe life has no inherent meaning other than the meaning you give it
>>
>>2014263

Yes. The position is sometimes called "existentialism" but nihilism doesn't reject meaning per se, only the futile quest or objective meaning.
