Why is World war 2 so much more popular in the Media despite World War 1 being far more crazy and interesting?
also ww1 had way more aesthetic

Because WW2 is way more relevant to US, which dominates the media.

this. but also because WW1 is depressing as fuck and doesn't have a clear cut narrative(good vs evil and all that shit). A ton of people die for basicaly nothing. the end.

>>1894623
WW2 is even more depressing though.
>Germany kills millions of Slavs and Jews
>The soviet Union loses 15 million men
>Italy is humiliated and sent into poverty
>France is humiliated and its people put under Nazi government
>Britain loses its Empire and its people are rationing into the fifties
>Japan kills millions of Chinese, rape even more, then have an Atomic bomb dropped on them.
Only America had a good time.

Why and when did Irish become a minority language in Ireland? Why can't they revive it like the jews did with hebrew?

I can't think of any good examples at the moment but it seems to be a way that people are increasingly becoming more accepting of radical ideologies. It wouldn't surprise me if the same people as who as kids made "In Soviet Russia..." or antisemitic jokes are tankies or fascists now.
Why aren't there any stories about witches and vampires from the ottoman empire?
Especially vampires which are found in slavic mythology.

My parents took me out of school in 3rd grade to "unschool" me more or less. They didn't think history was important for me to know.
I would like to know more history than what I have gleaned from pop culture now. What books would be a good place to start?

Daily reminder that Nietzsche was redpilled on Islam
>Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down (—I do not say by what sort of feet—) Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin—because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life!… The crusaders later made war on something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have grovelled in the dust—a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth century seems very poor and very “senile.”—What they wanted, of course, was booty: the orient was rich…. Let us put aside our prejudices! The crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more! The German nobility, which is fundamentally a Viking nobility, was in its element there: the church knew only too well how the German nobility was to be won…. The German noble, always the “Swiss guard” of the church, always in the service of every bad instinct of the church—but well paid…. Consider the fact that it is precisely the aid of German swords and German blood and valour that has enabled the church to carry through its war to the death upon everything noble on earth! At this point a host of painful questions suggest themselves. The German nobility stands outside the history of the higher civilization: the reason is obvious…. Christianity, alcohol—the two great means of corruption.

I wouldn't say that, since he pretty much lived the NEET dream while his wife Khadija provided for his lifestyle, since she basically was a merchant lord controlling much of the trade of the Quraysh tribe.
So it was more in his self-interest to keep her happy to keep writing that best seller of his without actually working.

Is the French "resistance" during WW2 just a meme in order to whitewash the country of their passivity and collaboration?
Just compare it to the well-organized real resistance in countries like Greece, Yugoslavia or the USSR where people lived in fucking earthholes or forests and used their own bodies to clear minefields or destroy rails.
Handing out a bunch of posters where the obvious is stated (that the Nazis are bad) and telling Allies where to hide while letting them do all the dirty work is not fucking resistance.

One - There was an active resistance.
Two - There were Free French forces that kept up the fight.
Three - Most importantly, France had already lost the war and surrendered. They weren't able to continue the fight legally without just getting massacred.
Guerilla warfare sounds noble and everything until you realize you're putting your populace at the mercy of a pissed-off superior force. In our age of 24 hour news coverage with everything under scrutiny and weakness-equals-virtue morals, fighting an asymmetrical war on the underdog side is more viable. This wasn't the case in the 1940s.

>This was the WEHRMACHT. In two years, they conquered all of Western Europe and lost only 30,000 troops in the process. That’s less than the casualties of Gettysburg. You get the picture? Nobody, no army on earth, could’ve held off the Germans under the conditions that the French faced them. The French lost because they had a long land border with Germany. The English survived because they had the English Channel between them and the Wehrmacht. When the English Army faced the Wermacht at Dunkirk, well, thanks to spin the tuck-tail-and-flee result got turned into some heroic tale of a brilliant British retreat. The fact is, even the Brits behaved like cowards in the face of the Wermacht, abandoning the French. It’s that simple.

I more interested in that awkward 10,000 year period when agricultural was gradually spreading.
Imagine being a hunter gatherer family stumbling upon an early agricultural settlement. The people there sit on their ass and farm while you're eating whatever you can kill. The chieftain greets you and you get the general idea that he will accept if you accept farm work. What do? Accept his offer or kill him eat all of his lifestock rape his daughters and then go back to hunting and gathering once the food runs out?

>The chieftain greets you and you get the general idea that he will accept if you accept farm work
more probably he will either beat the shit out of your ass and enslave you or beat the shit out of your ass and slice your throat. farmers tend to be really protective about their property.

I always try and fail to imagine how spooky it was for the first homo sapiens to exist. So you've got this hyperfunctional brain but no knowledge to justify it. You don't know fuck about the world yet you keep questioning it. They didn't know anything about the elements, human anatomy, why solid things are solid and liquid is liquid, they couldn't understand what is light, coldness, heat, to them fire was likely some tamed demon, they couldn't explain why day changes to night, they didn't know what is disease, and probably killed their sickly out of some superstition. All the gorillion things modern 5 year olds take for granted

Was there opposition inside the Nazi party? Weren't there any officers who said
>I dunno Adolf, maybe you're too hard on Jews and invading Russia isn't a good idea
? Or everybody in the leadership was just too afraid to interefere with Hitler?

I'm not too knowledged on this, but there was quite a bit of Nazi insurrection which led to a series of purges within the Reich, I'm sure you could find a list of all of them on Wikipedia or something.
>>
>>1894061
There was opposition and factionalism within both the Nazi party, and the German government as a whole throughout the prewar government, continuing right up until the end.

Well Hitler survived countless assassination attempts so that should sort of give you a general idea of how many people opposed him.

Because
1. The Japs did it 70 years ago, and not right now
2. Japs didn't do shit (directly) in Europe and America, with the exception of Pearl Harbour
3. They ARE demonized. At least in Europe schoosl teach that the Japs did some bad shit, and I'm sure that China and Korea teach their children that Japs are evil incarnate.

Japs did it in a total war scenario. Muslims do it in peace time and even calling them out on it makes you a racist.
