How the hell did he fuck up so badly?
All he had to do was not invade Czechoslovakia and tell the Brits he'd peace out of France and Belgium if France gave him Alsace-Lorraine
Instead he invaded Czechoslovakia and Norway, then after France fell he basically told the Brits he wanted all of continental Europe
We could have won, god dammit.
We've been through this a hundred times, Hans. Hitler wanted war, the British would've declared it on him no matter what. Now go jerk off to images of Pickelhauben.

Sorry, Oswald. This just keeps me up at night all the time.
He doomed Germany to remain a shell of it's former self and he got the Volksdeutsche ethically cleansed and raped.

We know that in the Iliiad Greeks were named both as Acheans and Danaoi, that seem weird, doesn't it?
Well, wait: it gets much, much weirder than this.
The Hittities often named a people, the Ahhywans, which many scholars identify with Myceneans, in relation to Troy (Wilusa at the time), these people often had names similar tot hose of Mycenean Greeks, such as those from the Iliad.
So, the Acheans are Myceneans right?
Wait, it's not that easy.
The Egyptians clearly knew of the existence of Mycenean Greece, they named the region Tanaju or Danaju west to Keftiu (Greece) and even mentioned a bunch of Mycenean towns such as Myceneane, Thebes, Kythera and others in that region.
Yeah this seems clear, mystery solved, Acheans and Danaoi are the same peoples, right?
Well, when the sea peoples invaded Egypt, Egyptians mentioned both Acheans (Ekwesh) and Danaoy (Denyen) separately just like in the Iliad (with took place during the same time of the sea peoples' invasions), and even mentioned the Ekwesh as being hired as mercenaries by them during the battle of Kadesh against the Hittities.
The Danuna or Denyen were known by the Hittities too, but they located them in Cilicia, near the city of Adana, and later early iron age inscriptions, in the same region confirm this, the people are named Danuna under a king descended from Mopsus, Mopsus was also a mythical figure in the Greek traditions, which makes things even weirder, but wait, it gets worse.
(Continues)
>>1873971
These inscriptions, namely treaties of alliance between the Danuna and the Assyrians are bilingual, they are in Luwian and in Phoenician, in one of them the people under the king of Cilicia are named Denyen in both version, in the other inscription, they are named Denyen in Phoenician but Ahhyiwans in Luwian, which of course brings us back to the Acheans.
Very recently a massive shipyard, one of the very few found in the ancient world, was uncovered in Cilicia facing Cyprus, and it was dated to the 13th century bc, which of course links it to the sea peoples.
So wait, both Mycenean Greece and Cilicia were called the land of the Danaoi/The land of the Acheans, so does this mean Myceneans colonized Cilicia?
Well, Adana was mentioned since the 15th century bc so before the Myceneans could expand in that region, one could very well argue that they were natives.
This is really one of the weirdest mysteries ever, the fact that the Hebrews also mentioned a tribe of Dan "living on ships" living around the same time as the sea peoples doesn't help.
The people of the ancient port city of Ugarit in Syria (in the same time period, late bronze age) also stated that one of the sea people tribes "lived on ships"
>>1873984
maby one could solve that mystery by not interpreting everything people that starts with d/a in that region with the danaoi/acheans? maby there was another people with a similiar sounding names? but you couldn't never prove that and it's probably bullshit
>>1873971
What if the Acheans/Danaoi were more xenonyms for bigger groups (like seafering peolple in the aegis+cyprus+cilicia)which later started to be used by parts of it as autonyms. And than Danaoi could first just be used for the region cyprus+cilicia and later gained a bigger signification. But i'm neither linguist nor very much into ancient greece so just speculating
There allot of religions that people follow but which one is the real one

Well? Can you prove that evil god doesn't exist?
We can presume that God is not evil, since if he were, nonexistence would be preferable to creation. By not killing yourself, you are implicitly agreeing that his creation is preferable to nonexistence.

>By not killing yourself, you are implicitly agreeing that his creation is preferable to nonexistence.
What if evil god included survival instinct in me so I can't escape his torture chamber.
>>1873875
Survival instinct doesn't take away your freedom to kill yourself. It just makes you extremely instinctually adverse to it, but it's not like trying to hold your breath until death or something like that, killing yourself is completely possible and doable.

Is the Breakup and Civil wars of the Mongolian Empire one of the Most underrated events?
A legitimate problem with making 21st century colored maps for the ancient world is that you cant really say that that territory was ruled in the same way that a modern state is.
That map is deceiving since it shows areas with extremely limited habitation in the same shade as the dense urban areas of china.
A proper map would be showing cities that existed during this time and whom they swear fealty towards.
>>1873831
No empire - no breakup. Stories about 400 000 army in steppes (without road- or railway-supply) is stupid falsification.

Seriously this needs to be in a sticky. Same is true for a lot of time and a lot of places during the Middle Ages too. But I guess 15yo wiki warriors like maps and wars and shit.

Im wondering if isis really represents islam, and where did isis come from and whats their goal
>>1873642
From what I understand you have 2 types of islam. The first forged by muhammed during war. This is the islam isis follows. You know the kill everything and chop of womens hands and stuff. Than you have the mecca islam, muhammed created that during peace. It states that you should love everyone and shit. The islam we have in the west is usually pretty chill. But sometimes some radicalised muslim comes in and blows everyone up. Or it's homegrown terrorism, fed by salafists.
So to answer your question: Yes isis follows the war time islam in it's purest form.
>>1873642
>if isis really represents isla
Yes.
>where did isis come from
Nice moderate Islam has always been the seed bed for the nasty throat-cutting variety, and it reaches a fever pitch an average of a little over a century or so.
>whats their goal
You want to know about any OS, read the user's manual. Read the Quran. Remember all the nasty shit in the second half cancels out all the nice platitudes in the first half.

>A ship that towed warships to safety during World War II and battled 40-foot waves to help rescue seven people in what was portrayed in the book and film "The Perfect Storm" is poised to be sunk off the New Jersey and Delaware coasts. Officials told The Record newspaper the 205-foot Coast Guard vessel Tamaroa will help grow a reef near Cape May Point by drawing large game fish and boosting recreational fishing.
>The sinking is planned around Oct. 30, the 25th anniversary of the storm in which the Tamaroa helped rescue the crew of a sailboat and a downed Air National Guard helicopter in waters off Massachusetts. Long before its role in "The Perfect Storm," the Tamaroa was known as the USS Zuni, which was first deployed by the Navy in World War II. Following the war, the Zuni was transferred to the Coast Guard and renamed the Tamaroa. The vessel spent nearly five decades rescuing ships in distress, intercepting smugglers at sea and enforcing fishery laws.
>Efforts to convert the ship into a museum and memorial ended in 2012 after its hull was found to be leaking. To those who oppose the sinking of the ship for sentimental reasons, Harry Jaeger, co-founder of Zuni/Tamaroa Maritime Foundation, said you can put on your scuba gear and it'll be right there.
