With almost all books from the antiquity are lost, do we know whether the greeks and romans had some kind of science fiction? Did they think that technology would largely stay the same forever?

He wanted to LARP as Rakhmetov from 'What is to be done?'. Arguably influenced his revolutionary streak far more than any he read by Marx.

Actually a decent few. Germany did not bring any to Europe iirc but did have a decent African division under Paul Von Lettow Vorbeck who held out in Tanzania until the very end of the war. Britian also used African soldiers in its African theatre.
France took a decent number of African soldiers to Europe and even Italy and American had quite a few black soldiers. So definitely a fair few.

At what point could Hitler have stopped his advance before or during World War II so as to keep everything he gained?

I think so too. France and Britain's publics were too war-weary from WW1 to support an offensive war against Germany. The USSR might have tried something eventually, but it would have had to occupy Poland to get to Germany, which would have pissed off Britain and France and possibly caused them to support Germany against the Soviets. Also, I think that Soviet armies would have been pretty ineffective in a war of conquest. The real timeline German invasion forced the Soviets to get good quick or die and filled their soldiers with zeal to defend their nation. This would have not been the case in an offensive campaign.
Hitler was truly a fool.

I think their economy was running on empty and they were threatened by another bout of debilitating hyper-inflation and just had to go to war sooner or later.

>>3280541
Considering the wirtschaftswunder pulled off by Ludwig Erhard, an economic recovery without war was certainly possible. I assume Hitler was going to war more for ideological reasons a la lebensraum.

>Imperial China had a centralized meritocratic imperial bureaucracy
>Imperial China also had a landed aristocratic class with dukes, marquis, viscounts, and barons
How did this work? What was the relationship between the nobility and the bureaucracy, who was really in of the lands, how did stuff like tax collection and implementation of law happen when there are two groups of "rulers" in place underneath the emperor?

Excellent question, bumping for an answer.

>>3280330
Kind of like how the church functioned under nobles in Europe I'd guess. Everyone was subordinate to the ruler, but aristocrats had certain privileges and exemptions that bureaucrats had to work under or around.

You could advance to nobility and nobles were the ones in charge of the lands and supervising the bureaucrats which allowed them to pocket money to themselves.

The Eternal Anglo and the Coalition wanted to put a Bourbon puppet on the French Throne. They were also deathly afraid of the French Revolution. They didn't want it spreading through out Europe. Putting the divine right of kings and the peerage in danger.

My vote goes to eastern persians for being really aesthetic for some reason (pashtuns are beautiful) but overall the western persians have contributed the most to society. Turks had their place but are kinda meh and fuck arabs

I really don't understand. Why would Vichy France so quickly turn on its allies, and its own Free French soldiers? They had nothing to lose if they surrendered to them willingly.

what do you mean they turned on "free french forces"? the resistance?
the resistance was against Vichy and the German military so I don't see how Vichy "turned" on them. or did you mean why did the third republic surrender so soon and why France hated anglos specifically during ww2?

more economical to use slavery for harvesting cash crops such as cotton whereas northern farms, i think, tended to be smaller and less labor intensive. there was almost always a shortage of white laborers in early america, too, so i reckon having bonded slaves whose movement you control and whose kids become your property makes it a very advantageous system to have.

furthermore, it's important to add that slavery in early america was thought to be in terminal decline by most observers. Virginia had been the main slave economy in the 1780s and 90s, but around that time it was going into economic stagnation and decline. Once upon a time, tobacco had yielded high profits as a cash crop, but soil exhaustion and, i think, dropping tobacco prices (from competition abroad?) made the huge tobacco estates unprofitable. In this new situation, Virginia planters found having large slave labor forces to take care of was becoming an increasing burden than a benefit. I remember reading a quote by George Washington saying something to the effect that slavery wasn't even economically profitable anymore. All of this changed with the importation of the new improved strains of short staple cotton into the US and (though this is in contention nowadays) the cotton gin made on top of accelerating industrialization in Britain (which was heavily reliant on the processing of cotton into cheap mass produced textiles using steam powered machine factories) which saw a huge surge in the price of the cotton and the increasing demand for slave labor. As a result, you see a huge internal slave trade popping up (as the slave trade got banned in 1805) trafficking slaves from the stagnant plantations in Virgnia to the richer cotton-friendly soils in the west, especially in the "black-belt" of alabama, mississippi and louisiana.

Virginia was originally settled by gentlemen and their lackeys from the west of England (running away from Cromwell), who were very much about priviledge and keeping the serfs in their place. It's a cultural trait that carried over in much of the south.

In New England, Pennsylvania, New York, the immigrants were from other places with a more middle class culture. Slavery didn't set so well with puritans and quakers, for instance.

Read "Albion's Seed" by David Hackett Fischer.

Does multiculturalism require a strong authoritarian to keep different nations within the state from ripping each other apart? Can democracy survive more than a couple generations without philia?

Are you assuming multiculturalism only exist where there's several nations under the same state?
>>
>>3280024
why do you assume that different ethnic groups are always in conflict? The trick is to avoid the formation of enclaves that live under different law (like europe's sharia law zones) and to give the different groups a common identity. the US has done a very good job of this.
>>
>>3280028
Isn't that what it is? Several groups of distinct peoples under one government without an officially sanctioned favored group? How else would you describe multiculturalism?
