How did early modern Christians justify such brutal violent conversion attempts in Spain and America?
At least Muslims let you pay a tax if you didn't convert.

Breaking the law in order to implement it.
A failure.

The same way they justified their brutal violent conversion attempts against European pagans: baby jesus told them to.
ITT: we post artists whose work we can't stand but are inexplicably praised
I honestly think Mexico just needed more artists so they decided to pretend she was really good and see how many people hopped on the bandwagon.
she's REALLY ugly, I always think she' from India
>>1908444
According to Hollywood she looked like Salma Hayeck
>>1908435
>honestly think they just needed more woman artists
Fixed
She was actually fucking one of their real artists, which is a big part of why she is so heavily memed
Mexico has some legit artists.
How the fuck can cavalry be a real threat? Haha nigga just use your spear.
You tie up their spears with your disposable units and cav hits them in the back like a uranium bomb dropped on a thriving south-east asian city.

It's like stopping a car with only a handgun. Sure, you could maybe shoot the driver or the tyres, but you're probably getting run over.

So in school we learned a fair amount about Sparta and their society. One thing that my teacher specifically mentioned was that Sparta Women were expected to be just as physically fit as a man and were described as such by the other pussy Greek states. Everyone knows this.
She postulated though that the Spartan women were the way not only to bear children, but to also defend the homeland when the men went out and fought. Everyone knows that Sparta would be at its weakest at this point, and so someone must have attacked it, and failed, and never wrote about because they lost to a bunch of women. And Sparta doesn't do shit in literature so they didn't write about it either.
So what does /his/ think about this? Anything to support it?
I have zero interest in the Hellenic periods but Ima bet it's something she heard in a top 10 things you wouldn't believe video m8, bump for interest
>>1909029
spartan women were not physically fit for any other reason than they believed healthy strong women had healthy strong sons. Women weren't expected to fight in sparta it is a fantasy.
>>1909052
It's something that I would genuinely believe based on how Sparta operated and that's why I wonder.
What eras you fav btw? And thanks for bump.
What's the best classification for China's economy post Deng Xiaoping? It's obviously no longer marxist-leninist despite what the government claims.
>>1905225
State capitalist
Interesting question. The CCP has tried very hard to maintain the ideological ties to the Maoist era but really only in name. There are still some remnants like the State Owned Enterprises, State Owned Banks, Work groups (or Danwei) and living permits (hukou).
If I were to classify it, I'd probably say it was State Capitalism or simply just as Deng put it "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics".
The economic plan that China has isn't terribly coherent, nor is it unified across all levels of government. The Chinese love to make overarching plans and do whatever it takes to get there. So the current one is to reach parity with the USA in terms of GDP per capita and all facets of the economy and government are encouraged to make that happen no matter how they do it.
>>1905225
All economic systems are the same.
Has there even been a successful genocide?
Every masturbation ending in orgasm.
Lots of peoples were assimilated and their languages and (probably big part of their) traditions and culture erased from the world.

Why the fuck did they pick the Tower of Babel to represent them? What the fuck were they thinking?
Why did he just not ask for Alsace-Lorraine after France fell?
Seems like he could have ended the war right there
>>1912093
>annihilate France completely
>only ask for disputed territories and withdraw
>you now again have a France thirsty for revanchism on your borders and Britain is still waging war on you
not a very smart idea desu senpai
hitler wanted peace since after the invasion of poland
You missed the part where he invaded the Soviet Union
Why don't rivaling countries actively use diseases against each other? Just how hard is to smuggle a vial of some spooky strain to another continent?
We already do this in Africa, they only keep reproducing like animals
the seductive jewess is the great bioweapon
>>1912083
Bioterrorism exists.
Bio warfare exists.
Ill give you one example but there are countless ones.
Mongols would fling plague infested rats and bodies over anatolian and balkan cities to infect the population including their armies until they were weakened enough to be invaded.
Diseases themselves are hard to contain especially in contemporary society with globalization. Russia could create a super resistant virus and spread it to europe but it would be impossible for them to keep it out of their own country. It could spread from animals or humans.
Are we at the end of history?
It seems like humanity has done all there is to do. Wars at large are over (except for the last one, obviously)
Philosophy, art, and science are about to come to their natural conclusions (nihilism, postmodernism, standard model)
There's no land to discover and colonize, no mysteries to uncover, no new knowledge to obtain. Globalism will erase cultures and races. Resources are starting to run out. Etc.
We're at that part of Civ game where everyone is fucking bored and no longer wants to play

Art is nowhere close to being done, it's not gonna last forever but it still has a long way to go
What does /his/ think of Joan of Arc?
Awesome anime villain desu
I only know of her through the Age of Empires 2 campaign. She is pretty cool I guess, France needed a symbol. Dunno why they claimed her a heretic, sounds mostly like a political decision.
>>1911806
She's a saint you fucking heretic.
which was the superior land army during the 15th-16th centuries: Spanish Tercios or Ottoman Janissaries?
15th: Jannisaries
16th: Tercios
I saw this same thread in Forocoches last week. Are you the same author?
>>1911779
Were the tercios a thing in the 15th-16th century?
I thought they came later, also the jannisaries were a small part of the ottoman army in those periods while they were complemented by other troops.
>partition India in 1947
>give Palestine to the Zionists in the same year
what was the brits fucking problem? It's like they knew their empire was fading so they wanted to make sure they left the world as much of a violent sectarian clusterfuck as possible just as a big 'fuck you' to the rest of us.

Is he the prime example of why the government should give welfare to NEETs?
>>1911099
Not modern NEETs. Historical NEETs were the truly enlightened. The modern NEET has been severely distracted by soma like video games and premium cable TV, he no longer pursues volumes of the mind.
>>1911099
>implying Diogenes would have accepted welfare from the government
>>1911208
This. Diogenes live a hard, difficult life for the sake of it and begged for money as a point. He wouldn't be making any point just living off of NEETbux.
