Fucking modern art these days I swear. This shit will never go down in history like classics such as Og's story about killing a cave bear with a rock.

It's 15,000 BC and you're roasting a boar with your m8s when a pack of protodogs pick up the scent and walk up to your camp.
You want to kill them all indiscriminately for food but your m8 insists that you only kill the aggressive ones and allow the more placid ones to breed because he is convinced traits such as aggression and friendliness can be passed through the generations.
Who is in the wrong here?
Were ancient Indo-Aryans racist? Genetics have now proven that they were blonde and blue-eyed, originally.

Didn't it prove they were dark haired with blue eyes? I'm sure most examined Yamnaya were dark haired.

>Recent archaeological and genetic study published in 2014 found that seven "Scandinavian hunter-gatherers" found in the 7,700-year-old Motala archaeological site in southern Sweden had both light skin gene variants, SLC24A5 and SLC45A2, and that they had a third gene, HERC2/OCA2, which causes blue eyes and also contributes to lighter skin and blond hair.[33] Genetic research published in 2014 and 2015 also indicates that Yamnaya Proto-Indo-Europeans who migrated to Europe in the Bronze Age were overwhelmingly dark-eyed (brown), dark-haired and had a skin colour that was moderately light, though somewhat darker than that of the average modern European.[34] Light pigmentation traits had already existed in pre-Indo-European Europeans (both farmers and hunter-gatherers), and long-standing philological attempts to correlate them with the arrival of Indo-Europeans from the steppes were misguided.[35]
In a way that is antithetical of /pol/ can someone explain how so many people have come to despise the Jewish people.
Is there concrete evidence to prove that they have done something deserving of that hate going by how many countries have historically hated them or are they just a scapegoat?
They were always the 'Other' in every country they lived, so when a country started struggling and tribalism kicked in they made for easy targets.
>>3290052
Jews were hated because they were a minority that refused to integrate. Add tot his the Christ killer myth and there you have it.

Wouldn't just fighting degens and Marxists be a more effective way at fighting degeneracy and Marxism than just going after the whole Jewish people?
I get that Marxism might have had a disproportionate amount of Jews, but why potentially harm a hard-working, loyal Jew?

What went wrong where some how Turks got to keep the capital that they stole?
Even Germany was given back most of their land after WW1 and WW2.
Was it the Eternal Jew getting back at the Greeks?

Assuming you can pick any year after ~1850 as your starting point, what borders would you pick to prevent the clusterfuck that was the 20th century.
>pic related my rough take
Implying the 19th, 18th, or 17th centuries were any less of a clusterfuck
Napoleon should have won
I disagree with Greece. I also don't see how making Germany like that supports what you said but I have only given it like 6 seconds of thought. Why did you make those two countries like that?
Why does /his/ never talk about the Sengoku Jidai?
Its a fascinating period with cool historical figures, fascinating stories and great battles
Nip history, and Asian history in general for that matter, hardly ever get discussed on this board. And I don't understand why, either.

I'd appreciate any recommendations from /his/ for books about wars that relatively obscure to the majority of people. Examples:
The Russo-Japanese War
The Boer War
The Winter War (Finland v. USSR)
The fall of France in WWII
Any other conflict the mention of which would cause the average person to look mildly confused.

>The fall of France in WWII
Strange Defeat and Strange Victory. Strange Defeat was written by a French soldier during the occupation, making it an interesting window in the time from somebody who was there, and who also didn't know with any certainty that France would ever be free of German control.
Strange Victory is a "spiritual sequel" to the Strange Defeat, written by a military historian with the help of German documents that the writer of Strange Defeat would never have had access to. The book seems to take the position that Hitler was much more attuned to military matters than he is often given credit for.
Highly recommended. There's much more to the war than Yi Sun-sin memeing the Japanese navy out of existence.
In particular, the international and domestic politics of the situation were in equal measure fascinating and hilarious.
-Pretty much every single diplomat tasked to translate or carry a message to the other side lied about the contents of their message to make it more palatable to the recipient. The daimyo of Tsushima, who acted as go-betweens for Hideyoshi and the Koreans.
-The Chinese (eventually) honored their commitment to their Korean tributaries, but Chinese soldiers were know to indiscriminately slaughter civilians to rack up kills for that sweet bonus money (paid per skull), and the Chinese commanders expected deference from the Koreans.
-The Japanese won almost all of the battles but didn't know how to occupy foreign territory
-The Koreans nominally had a well organized army with more than 50,000 professional soldiers, but could never field more than 10,000 men in battle because most of their army was literally made of paper, with tens of thousands of soldiers on the book but not in uniform, and generals who were basically reject civil servants.
-But they did have a guerrilla leader with a magic bulletproof cloak soaked in the period blood of virgins.
