ITT: Historical misconceptions
Ones you've heard, ones you personally want to debunk for everyone, and/or ones you used to believe.
I'll start:
>Thumbs up in the Colosseum meant life
>Hitler was a supergenius commander
>The Byzantine empire was just like the roman empire but in the east

I've never heard anyone say Hitler was personally a good commander. I've heard the nazis in general but never Hitler himself.
>>
>>1877328
>Hitler was a supergenius commander
Who believes this? The meme that he was a total incompetent and could have won if he listened to his generals is far more widespread.
Holy shit guys, I just figured out something big.
I think Japan was the REAL hero of WW2. I know everyone thinks they were bad and allied with the Nazis and everything, but look. I've watched a lot of anime, so I know that the Japanese are good people. I don't think they would knowingly ally themselves with a monster like Hitler. I think they saw what was going on, and knew that what Hitler was doing wasn't right, and wanted to end his reign of terror. They saw that the most powerful country at the time, the United States, wasn't doing anything about it, so they decided to bomb Pearl Harbor and get them involved. I mean, why else would they bomb Pearl Harbor?
They did all this at great expense- sacrificing many of their own people, but they knew that it couldn't be helped- Hitler NEEDED to be stopped.
The reason why they kept fighting after the Nazis were defeated was because they wanted to save face. The Japanese are a very proud people. Those responsible for organizing this heroic plan took the secret to their graves, but it's so obvious that that's what happened. I think it's time we honored the REAL heroes of WW2: JAPAN. Without them, WE'D ALL BE SPEAKING GERMAN RIGHT NOW!!!!

Linguistics becomes more of a science the more recent you get. You can craft a reasonable evolution of language based on observation, but anything past the level of Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic is pure hypothesis.

By following neoclassical economics he managed to make the chilean economy stable, but condemned them to underdevelopment. So yes.

>"Man must have an unquenchable thirst for self improvement, always looking for more, reading, playing instruments, practicing sports, looking for new boundaries, only to break through them, with nothing but the sheer willpower of the soul, overcoming any challenges or barriers imposed by nature with nothing but determination."
>"Those who do not take discipline, self control, self improvement, authority, respect to culture and tradition, willpower, duty and courage as absolute, core values are nothing but parasites to this planet."
>"The ultimate source of the violence, hatred, lack of love and harmony, ultimately derives from the spread of the ideals of the French Revolutionaires: little brats who were such tremendous pussies that they decided to ovrerthrow a centuries old monarchy because their parents made them go to the church on fucking sundays."
Holy shit.

The Mexican-American war. The US took the entire western part of the continent, leaving Mexico with no more room for growth.
>>
>>1876935
If they had gone fascist they would have been a world power.
>>
Politically speaking, Mexico was a comlpete shitshow from its independence until after the civil war about 100 years later. Half the elites wanted to turn Mexico into a liberal republic with values inspired by the French and American revolutions, the other half wanted a conservative monarchy. They simply didn't have the unity the would have needed to stand up to the US.

Is it frowned upon to wear a world war two Army air corps jacket?
I wouldn't do anything disrespectful and I don't mean any by wearing it, but I understand that it can be taken that way. The reason I want to wear it is that I really like the ascetic of the time period and I absolutely love history.

History forgotten or denied is history to be repeated. As Hitler said; who remembers the armenian genocide as he embarked on his carnival of death and destruction.

Because people like safe spaces and admitting that their ancestors were murderous assholes is out side of that safe space.
In the case of china, It was almost 30 years ago, more than enough time for the majority of the population to have never been taught that it happened.
In the case of the middle east, its becuase Islamists as a whole have to have someone to collectively hate, or they'll kill each other, and even that isn't enough.
