To get some one with whom there exist between you innate tension, to engage you sexually is a rather difficult task.

No...

Majors and minors*

>>1985957
>Why is/ was history your major?

It wasn't, because I'm not a retard.

>>1985957
>Why is/ was history your major?
Because I was well aware that I wouldn't have been able to successfully major in something I wasn't interested in, so it was better than having no higher education at all.
>Has it been worth it personally?
Well, yes. It gave me a fun university life and it was better than being just a high school grad.
>For your career?
Well it didn't help from a CV point of view but it didn't hurt either. I wasn't dedicated enough to get a job in academia, but I do feel like my studies taught me some useful skills for my current career (journalism). It's frankly disturbing to see how far a grounding in history and being able to write coherent and well researched articles can bring you.
>What's make and minors go well with a history major?
I have no idea, my country's higher education system doesn't have minors and multiple majors.

It's just bantz between russianboos and otherboos. Zhukov wasn't the greatest general ever, maybe not even top 20, but he was exactly the firm, determined military mind which the USSR needed at the time.

t. Luigi "Break the line or it's court marshal time'' Cadorna

My list:

1. Napoleon

Defeated enemies against overwhelming odds, revolutionised the warfare of his time, was considered military genius by both his generals and his enemies.

2. Alexander

Carved a huge empire with small army, was also a tactical genius as he also won the battle of Issus and Gaugamela against overwhelming odds.

3. Julius Caesar

Defeated enemies again and again that had superior numbers against him. Conquered Gaul,Belgium, Spain and would have conquered Britain if he was left alone b the Senate, also defeated the greatest general of his time besides him.

4.Belisarius

Re-conquered all of Italy, re-conquered North Africa, wrecked the Sassanids and Fought a guerilla war against the Bulgars and won. The pinnacle of Roman military tactics.

5. Timur

Although the Mongols had in the previous century conquered avast territory with their vast numbers, this guy started with almost nothing and went on to conquer Persia, most of Asia minor, northern India and Egypt, while wrecking the Ottomans and the Mamluks in the process.

5. Zhukov

In an era where generals started playing less of a prominent role due to the huge fronts developing, Zhukov was entrusted by Stalin more responsibilities than any other general in WWII, and managed to turn hopeless situations like Stalingrad into resounding victories.

7. Subutai

Did all the heavy lifting for Genghis , conquered thirty-two nations and won sixty-five pitched battles, wrecked the Polish and Hungarians and would have probably conquered eastern Europe if Ogedei hadn't died.

8. Ibn Il Khalid

Fought against the two major superpowers against his age, conquered huge territories and was never defeated. Nuff said.

9.Hannibal Barca

A military genius that had his reputation sullied by that final defeat by Africanus, which would have been averted if Carthage actually supported him there and before in his conquests .

Whoa deah Goyim! Ya best be caaaeful wit what ya sayin deah, we dont want to be promoting any antisemitic remarks on the notoriously cucked board of /his/ now do we?

>w-what a bunch of cuck amirite

>>1985655
If you go by the "Eurocuck competition triggered by being cucked from the Eastern trade by Ottomen and Italians" then the answer is India is smack in the middle of that huge Eastern trade hub.

>>1985655
Europe by then learned a more effective way of conquest - Jewish level business and banking exploitation.

>>1985655
India didn't exist as a country until the Brits made it so and Gandhi spergged out.

>>1985621
Because Germany in WW1 just wanted Russia out of the war. Hitler wanted total extermination of Russian slavs and he did not give a shit whether a democratic or even a fascist government can possibly take over in Moscow.

>>1985639
But wouldn't it be obviously leagues easier to invade a nation which is once again riddled with internal strife?

>>1985621
Wouldn't have worked. The Soviet Union wasn't perceived as militarily weakened or politically disoriented by decades of countercultural activity. It had a political system made by THE people the Tsarist regime had been banishing to Siberia before, and they knew how to do it better.

Why?

Give me 5 reasons why I should watch this video.

The same can be said for any cruel guy in charge.
People generally play nice till they have enough power or their adversaries/victims/call-em-what-you-want tend not to notice till it is too late.

Fear factor.

Everyone's spying on everyone constantly so no one can make a move.

wow that image must have been made by a super buttmad polish man

Masturbation was uncommon because you either had a wife, was fighting in a war and dying, or fighting in a war and winning so you rape their women

Okay:
>enjoy reading
>enjoy writing
>hate HATE writing about what I have read (at least for anyone but myself, or for any thematic reason.)

Makes me seriously consider the rope.

Not an expert at all in this, but from what I gather, while most of the US's natives died or moved to reservations, the ones in Central and Southern America just interbred with the colonists for the most part. Keep in mind, my knowledge of this is pretty rusty, so I'm probably off.

Political science is the /his/ of academia, a bunch of armchair generals wanking over which theoretical system is the best and fudging statistics to prove that their pet system is superior to the others.

You are too fucking retarded to be taken seriously.

What the fuck does writing have to do with psychologically modern humans?

You think that illiterate people aren't humans?

You're fucking dumb.

The Inca were illiterate too and look at what they've accomplished, no, it doesn't work like that.

>>1984905

You can accomplish impressive things without being a psychologically modern human.

>making fun of the enemy*

>>1984845
The Nguni warriors of Southern Africa would line up with the enemy, proclaim their ancestral lineage, and then proceed to trade insults about each other's mothers before throwing spears and running away

> yfw the inca gives you the death stare

Because they had no control of the sea route that would take them all to Madagascar
