So whats the modern consensus on the Reichstag fire?
Was it Bulgarians Georgi Dimitrov, Vasil Tanev and Blagoi Popov (leading the Comintern operations in Western Europe), or Adolf Hitler's men as a false flag and a way to get their party, which only had 2 of 11 seats in the parliament, to become more popular and win more power later?

I think the current consensus is that Adolf opportunistically took advantage of a real arson committed by individual communists.

Can the 20th Century in the United States be compared to that of a Renaissance?
Just think about it;
All the movies
All the tv shows
All the comedy
All the music
All the theatre
All the literature
All the radio
All the fashion
All the art
All the technology
I'm not even American but can't the 20th century in America literally be considered one of the greatest centuries of any nation? Perhaps even THE greatest century of all time?

It was mixed, like every century before it. US was just more wealthy because they sold arms in both world war and wasn't effected the either of them.
P.S: Nice job on wasting all of that on a tiny land on the other side of the world retards.

It's 1947. USA did not partake in WW2. After German capitualtion in 1946, Japan surrendered to USSR in 1947 after being fully occupied.
What does this mean for international relationships?
>>1970789
The U.S. wouldn't have the pretext to develop nuclear weapons. The Soviets meanwhile would have most of Europe and huge parts of Asia under their control. The Soviets would most probably spur and support revolutionairy activities in European colonies and gain a huge amount of loyal vassal states in the debeloping world. Meanwhile the western world ( South America, Britain, US, Australia) would form an alliance in order to maintain their independence. Depending wether or not the Soviets have any intent for expansionism, WW3 might very possibly break out.
>>1970789
Britain and Canada would have moved into France and maybe Italy as the Russians closed in on Germany.

In 1941 Pearl Harbor is bombed and Hitler declares war on USA. Still, soon after, USA signs nonagression treaty with Japan. Small numbers of prisoners are returned, everybody is happy. Germany remains in state of war, but conflict between USA and Germany in this case is reduced to u-boat war.
How does the world look like in 1950?
Stupid question
>>1970596
Aside from would-never-happen-because-Japan-just-bombed-you-and-every-citizen-wants-revenge, it would make the war last longer, but with the same conclusion.
Also nearly all of Europe would fall in the USSR sphere of influence, so there's that.

>In 1845, Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecid declared his intention to send £10,000 to victims of the Irish potato famine, but Queen Victoria requested that the Sultan send only £1,000, because she herself had sent only £2,000.[1][2][3the sultan conceded and sent £1,000 but with five ships full of food. The British administration allegedly attempted to block the ships, but the food arrived secretly at Drogheda harbour and was left there by Ottoman sailors.

So I'm sure you've repeatedly heard of how the US has entered varying states which the empire that Rome established did. However I'm curious if this is really a good comparison (beyond all the techy stuff we've done) given the massive differences in how we maintain our hegemony.
So, does it actually go deeper than a "hurr durr, America is the biggest power right now, thus it = Rome" or is there more to it that actually lends credence to idea that we're the new Rome?
>>1970530
comparisons* lel
The US really isn't anything like Rome
the US global position is unprecedented. rome could be compared to other ancient civilizations in it's scope, shit the han dynasty was the same size at the same time, and effected about the same area. we as in western culture just like to play up it's significance because roman customs are more recently ancestral to our society.

Was the Peninsular War the only unjustified war that Napoleon waged?
>unjustified
How? Napoleon was going to liberalize Spain, which was considered one of the most backwards countries in Europe, but the ruling classes incited open conflict, which in turn led to French troops committing many atrocities, which caused the Spanish peasantry to resent the French, which led to that entire disaster.
This is /his/.
Napoleon is never wrong.
The evil church and the tyrannical ancient regime monarchies are always wrong.
The only unjustified thing about it is that he lost.
What's with this meme that the French are bad at war?
If anyone is bad at war, then it's the fucking Germans
>>1969541
They lost some wars, that doesn't mean they were bad at it, just that the opponents were stronger.
Same with the french, they were defeated in 1940 by a stronger foe, nothing shameful there.

>When Napoleon was defeated, dethroned, and exiled for the second time in the summer of 1815, Ney was arrested (on 3 August 1815). After a court-martial decided it did not have jurisdiction (November), he was tried (4 December 1815) for treason by the Chamber of Peers. In order to save Ney's life, his lawyer Dupin declared that Ney was now Prussian and could not be judged by a French court for treason as Ney's hometown of Sarrelouis had been annexed by Prussia according to the Treaty of Paris of 1815. Ney ruined his lawyer's effort by interrupting him and stating: "I am French and I will remain French".
