Why was the execution of the Rosenbergs so controversial?
They essentially gave the Soviet Union the atom bomb and endangered the lives of billions.
Pretty blatant anti-semitism carried out by Jews
>oy vey goyim yes we gave the soviets secrets but you are anti semitic bastids!
Clumsy, corrupt process that at the time must have clearly appeared to be Red Scare hysteria. Add onto that how barbaric the death penalty is, and it's not difficult to see it as government officials trying to frighten the American public into deferring to the national security apparatus.
>At a secret meeting on February 8, 1950, twenty senior government officials met to discuss the Rosenberg case. Gordon Dean, the chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, stated: "It looks as though Rosenberg is the king pin of a very large ring, and if there is any way of breaking him by having the shadow of a death penalty over him, we want to do it." Myles Lane, a member of the prosecution team, said that the case against Ethel Rosenberg was "not too strong", but that it was "very important that she be convicted too, and given a stiff sentence".[23]

O'Reilly said the same thing about christianity. can we get a tipping image of him?
Who's the shortest person known as The Great?
Peter the Great could have literally played in the NBA if he was born today. An actual giant.
>>2004658
>6'8"
Goddamn
I would assume the shortest would be someone in Southeast Asia. The Mongols were slightly taller than the other Asians in the area so not them but i'm sure there's some Khmer Emperor called "the Great" or something like it.
>>2004658
Alexander
Why the fuck do you insecure faggots hate him so much?
He's actually popular here, compared to other figures.
>>2004579
He actually accomplished something in life.
>dude Blut und Eisen lmao
>Aleksandar: If I banned your group would you die?
>Pavelic: It would be extremely painful.
>Aleksandar: Was allying with the Italians part of your plan?
>Pavelic: Of course!
>Aleksandar: Congratulations! You got caught. So, what's the next step of your master plan?
>Pavelic: Crashing Yugoslavia... With no Serbs!
>>2004535
Forgot some
>Aleksandar: You're a big nationalist.
>Pavelic: ...For you.
Dr Pavelic, I'm AVNOJ.
>>2004618
You're a big partisan.
Who is your favorite historical warlord/tyrant?
>>2004391
My favorite """"""""Tyrant""""""""" was Fujimori, because he stopped the Shining Path and helped Peru's economy.
>Forcefully breaks away from his countrymen and nation even as they professed their love for his people
>Hardly manages to achieve even fifty percent approval in his controlled territories, resorts to using his troops to control the land.
>Turns around, goes full retard, and attacks the shocked countrymen he callously betrayed
>Gets properly stomped into the ground while Northern patriotic loyalists begrudgingly wipe their tears away from their boots.
William Walker, the would be /biz/ mascot if the board wasnt doa.
I dont hate him for getting salty at the u.s. navy for not helping him. Im surein his second run hed have been much more smoother diplomatically.
Are they overrated?
>>2004297
Nope, the macedonians were the greatest conquerors that came out of Europe.
I can understand why plebs and lower class scum would join the army, but why in the world would anyone in the Aristocracy fight?
From my understanding much of the cavalry in the Macedonian army was nobility.
>>2004318
for glory. they wanted to copy the heroes and legends in their myths. alex did too, thats why he went all the way up into bactria and india pursuing some crap about dionysus i think. he wanted to find some thing to do with him on the other side of the world or emulate it, i really cant remember, been years since did this in school.

Why were so many roman emperors insane or just completely inept at ruling? Where they just unlucky or was the fault with Rome itself?
>>2004205
lead in wine

Too much propaganda, actually.
Should people with severe genetic physical or mental deformities be allowed to have children?

Abso-fucking-lutely. Only natural selection can decide if Downs syndrome or whatever is the next step in human evolution.
>>2004120
But they survive only because of the support from non-downies.
What was his endgame?
>>2004020
A pan-European French empire.
>>2004020
A free and secure France. The only purpose of the "empire" was subduing the various monarchies who refused to let that happen.
>>2004050
This. And as a side effect exporting the values of the French revolution.
Were tensions between the church and science really as high as people make them out to be? Was Galileo really placed under house arrest for suggesting heliocentrism? Did Linnaeus really fear persecution from religious authorities?
>>2003979
It wasn't that the Church was at particular odds with science, but rather that it was on very shaky ground everywhere due to the turmoil of the reformation and counter reformation. The Church was against Galileo for suggesting that Aristotle was wrong, not being able to provide convincing proof of his model, and being arrogant when confronted about that. As far as Linnaeus goes, I think people were just scandalized at his gratuitous sexualization of plants.
>>2004004
What about the whole "Anthropomorpha" thing?
>>2003979
A LOT of scientific advancement originated among Roman Catholics. For political reasons the turmoil beginning in the early modern era is emphasized in our textbooks.
>le korea was a vassal of japan and china for their entire history
When will this meme end?
List all the times Korea was a subject of either China or Japan. You can use Google if you want. Go on, I'll wait.

>>2003872
Well, Vassal of China was a longer time than being Japan's bitch.
I suppose they were only ever boss during the Three Kingdoms (Korean Version) Period.
