What was prehistoric Scandinavia like? Was this when the Finnish Empire was at its peak?
>>2008817
yes
>>2008817
This is from right before the hyperwar, correct?
>>2008817
Memes aside, Finns didn't arrive to Scandinavia until about 700 BC.

Rumour has it (and you would need three full-time accountants to keep track) that he had sex with up to 35,000 women.

How many illegitimate children did he have? Surely a few hundred must have gotten pregnant.
Why did the Civil Rights movement fragment and fallout.
Was it because they all wanted equality but weren't united on equality of outcome or oppurtunity.
Can black power be blamed for Whites thinking enough had been done.
Or is it the fault of the ghetto dwellers refusal to cooperate unlike the Southern Blacks

thank you sir for derailing the thread, as a longtime browser I know that if you include that in your OP then people will shitpost as they know it annoys you.

Bit of both. You had one side who didn't hate white people and genuinely wanted to get along with them, (based MLK) and then you had Malcolm X who was a bit of a dickhead with the whole black power shit.
You tend to find that movements or ideologies which preach for unity without discriminating against one ethnicity (As opposed to BLM doing horrible shit to white people or black people who disagree with them) will last longer.
MLK is a pretty good bloke in my books. I believe in equality of opportunity, but wanting equality of outcome is not fair.
Tl; dr black lives matter a shit, MLK good
Was there any hope for cohesive Islam?
At least in Christianity, Paul did a decent job of keeping shit together and the Roman Catholic church passed the buck until the Germans got too pissy.The umma seemed fucked since the beginning with the immense amount of fragmentation in the Arabian peninsula. It is easy to point the finger at Muhammed for not naming a successor but how can you keep shit together when you have pussies like Ali ruling and your reward for ruling over a bunch of tribes is assassination.
Even with the Islamic Golden Age, as soon as the Sunni and Shiite rifted appeared it seems like it was game over. Or is this just a huge cycle for monotheistic religions considering that after 1,400 years, Christianity had a nice lil implosion and now 1,400 years later Islam is facing the same.

No, but I hope the world can give adhesive Islam a try someday.
Is it ethical to euthanize pit bulls due to them being considered violent animals?
I ask this here because it seems to be a philosophical question in nature and /pol/ is too retarded to have a discussion.
Well society already euthanizes stray dogs that nobody wants. And this happens all day in "shelters" all over the country. So the real question is: is it ethical to euthanize pit bulls based only on their breed?
No, also pit bulls are as violent as any other dog

Why does this board get so buttmad whenever someone brings this up? You would think that so called "historians" would prefer a scientifically verifiable theory over outdated romanticism.

Why does it seem like millennial communists/socialists hate every communist leader? Scrolling through communist Tumblr all I see is "x revolution didn't work because"... "x was a terrible dictator etc etc"
dunno just seems a bit backwards
>communist
>Tumblr
Your first step was already a mistake. That being said, it's impossible to deny that Stalin, Pol Pot or Mao were terrible people, and also ineffective rulers in case of the latter two.
t. socialist
Its easy to hate losers in hindsite.
If Sadam wasn't an actual psychopath in his personal life, his genocide could've been written off and his ambition would be somewhat sound too; as today Iraq is landlocked and will be poorer than Africa once they run out of oil.

Was colonialism a good idea in the long run?
>>2005313
It depends. The Spanish and Portuguese model was better in the sense that it lasted longer and left a more profound influence on their subjects. For example Latin American and Philippine culture.
for the mother countries yes. it was exploitation at its finest. good times
Yes. Without colonialism brought civilization to the savages. Just as the Romans brought order to the Untamed lands of Iberia, Gaul, Britannia, and parts of germania. The white man brought enlightenment to the dark savages that inhabited the landfills of the earth. If these people are not able to take and vantage of the gift they've been given that is there own fault.
Was japanese fanaticism in WW2 just a meme or was it grounded in reality?
>>2004460
If you are asking if suicidal Banzai charges and shit were common in the Pacific war, yes they were.
If you are asking if the vast majority of Japanese soldiers, sailors, and airmen were spooked as fuck, yes they were.
>Europe just spent years running into machine guns, artillery and barbed wire
>Japs do the SAME THING
>lmao stupid Japs
Overrated stuff that only happened in the final months of war when Japanese forces were in a tough situation and outnumbered. You only do this kind of shit when you're basically doomed and have nothing to lose anymore. It is unlikely that they would conduct desperate suicidal charges during their initial conquest phase.
Last thread hit autosage: >>1999501, let's keep this going.
Post an important event that happened no more than 25 years before the event in the post above yours (and include the date). Let's see how far we get.
We start at
460 BC: Beginning of the First Peloponnesian War
480 BC: Battle of Salamis (second Persian invasion of Greece fails)
490 - Battle of Marathon
509 BC - Start of the Roman Republic
Why is tradition good?
>>2003757
It is tested by time.
Traditions make a country have identity
Because it isn't just a secondary cultural activity, but a primary. Imagine if language was not a tradition, and was always something being reinvented beyond an addition of words. Tradition gives some clarity as to what makes one group distinct, for whatever reason, from another. It's also a great way down the path of knowledge through whatever form of inquiry is used to understand the world, cosmos, etc.
Did no one point out to Napoleon the major attrition his men would face as well as the scorched earth tactic the russians would use prior to the invasion?
Napoleon wasn't stupid, he should've predicted this.
Furthermore, when Napoleon's army was taking massive casualties halfway to Moscow, he should've pulled out, but was insistent on continuing. Did he go mad?
AFAIK he thought he could win a few key battles, get the Russians to peace out then hurry back and deal with the English.
>>2003651
Even then, Russian manpower was so large he should've known he couldn't just win a few battles to get the Russians to back down.
>>2003638
>as well as the scorched earth tactic the russians would use prior to the invasion?
>Napoleon wasn't stupid, he should've predicted this.
Sure, from a 21st century viewpoint
European warfare was very different back then
Napoleon couldn't in any way guess that Alexander would rather burn his own country (dooming hundreds thousands of hjs civilians to death by starvation) just to avoid abiding to a trade agreement.
It was an absolutly irrational behavior coming from a deranged individual (Alexander was insane and firmly though that Napoleon was the antichrist) and that's what defeated Napoleon's genius
