Alright /his/, it's nearly time for the winterball. Who are we asking?
Pic unrelated
OP here, I might suggest /lit/. They seem intellectual enough for us.
I unironically think /tg/ is cute. It's like the awkward autist asking out the much less (but still) awkward autist who has his own charm in a way.

You're phrasing that as if /his/ has an average iq in triple digits.

pic is dumb and wrong Bavarians are based and the best kind of Germans also filthy heretics should convert or burn
Who was Caesar at the time of Jesus? Could someone provide a brief account or details of his life?
Tiberius. For fucks sake, just google it.
Tiberius. He was the most powerful porn connoisseur in history.

Is he though?
There might be another
Alright /his/, help this baka anon out.
I have kinda subscribed to the idea that Italy has been shit at war.
That for some reason they have always retardedly gone into battle with stupid tank designs, half assed plans, low morale, and no strategy.
Show me otherwise.

Would you agree that being selfish is bad?
Is it as BS as I suspect or does it have any validity? At the very least the holy crusade to convert the whole earth to liberalism isn't a peaceful process.
>>1969130
Just like any political science theory, it's not inherently falsifiable or determinative of the future.
As for the extent as to which a layman political analyst/theorist should believe in the validity of the theory, I'd say that one should look at the chronological order y which the theory was developed.
Hint* The moral judgement came before the theoretical judgment.
It depends on what you count as a conflict or not.
By the industry standard, if you will, it is thus far a valid as two democratic nations have yet to be in conflict with each other.
>holy crusades
>convert earth to liberalism
wat?

What does this even mean?

What would you define as race? Are the Afghanis a different race than Iranians? What about American """"whites"""" vs. Icelanders? At what point can we really say that a race has been established or destroyed?
When does red become orange become yellow?
>>1969056
I go along with the four race thing; Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid, Australoid.
Afghans are a nationality and they are made up of around 15 ethnic groups, which are either Caucasoid or a mixture of Caucasoid and Mongoloid

> Americans think that they belong to one country with a large governing body with individual states mostly as a formality, rather than a large collection of smaller states that are independent but cooperative.
how did this happen /his/
>>1968924
The Civil War.
No one involved with education, OBGYN, tax services, or firearms manufacturing believes that at all.

Thoughts on Napoleon.
A tyrant?The greatest general/strategist of all time?A fuckin psycho that thought that he can control the world?etc
Literally Hitler
The parallels are remarkable
>>1968211
>A tyrant
By today standards sure
By early 19th century standard, he was much more democratic than most European rulers
>The greatest general/strategist of all time
Definitly in the top five
>A fuckin psycho that thought that he can control the world?
He could have controlled Europe, had he not fucked up in Russia

but I do know both of those frogman.
>>1966961
Yes, the period of time after 1492 is called early modern period.

Can we get a history book recommendation / discussion thread going?
I'm currently really interested in the U.S. foreign policy during the Eisenhower era, specifically in the way it dealt with the PRC.
I am reading History of the Civil War 1861-1865 by James Rhodes
I read before that 1776 by David Mccullough.
Both good books. After I read Rhodes' book I am going to read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
>>1966651
I'm reading Stalingrad by Antony Beevor.
Good read, got a fair share of maps and photos.
>>1969245
Beevor is excellent, particularly if you're American. Because he's a Brit, it's nice to get a different view. He was also a student of John Keegan. His book "The Second World War" is really, really good. Covers the war in its entirety, all over the world with a lot of primary sources.
>Post-war Germans living in Eastern Europe were targeted for retribution
>Boats containing German refugees were attacked by allied submarines
>Mass rapes
>Mass deportations of ethnic Germans occurred
>Property and possessions of known Germans were seized and given away
>Germans were shipped off to concentration camps in cattle cars
>Disease and starvation rampant in the camps
>Young and elderly died from exhaustion
>Some were shipped off to the USSR as slave labour
>Partisans were allowed to murder and attack ethnic Germans with little fear of reprisal
>600 thousand - 2 million died
>Ethnic Germans still living in Eastern Europe are discouraged from practicing their language
>Not considered a genocide
Why?
Because nobody cares about a bunch of dead Krauts after they spent the past 6 years pillaging the continent
>>1966289
They got to keep the krauts down otherwise their natural efficiency predisposes them to dominate the world. You can't give them anything to feel sorry about otherwise they'll tueton all over everything.
aaaand here come the tankies
What are the magnum opuses of the ideologies of the major players in World War II? I know there's Mein Kampfy Chair for the Germans and the Communist Manifesto for the Russians, but what are the equivalents for Imperial Japan, the US/Britain, and China?
The US, Britain and China were dragged into this shit. You could say the Little Red Book for China, I guess. Dunno about Japan.
>>1966043
China - The Little Red Book
USA - Atlas Shrugged
England - Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Imperial Japan - Boku no Piko
Enjoy

pls no /a/ memes, Japan is the one I'm most curious about
