I like studying history of conquerors like Ghengis Khan, Attilla, etc.

We can all agree the best are Abaddon the Despoiler or Archaon the Everchosen.

Case for Abaddon:
>Been conquering for 10k years
>has destroyed thousands of worlds and killed >trillions of people

Case for Archaon
>actually won a total victory for Chaos and >completely crushed all enemies of chaos

THoughts my fellow historians?

Is completely leveling a city a la Guernica or Dresden no longer allowed or something?

If it's still legal why did it not happen during Korea, Vietnam or the Gulf War?

Total war.
>>
>>1859760

Neither city was leveled. Even the absolute devastation of Dresden only killed about 3% of its population.

It's not done primarily because it's not very effective as a morale destroying factor, and modern wars are generally non-total, so its industrial application is generally not a major factor.


And you did have enormous strategic bombing in Vietnam. Go look up Operation Linebacker. (The second one, that is)

He used to fuck prostitutes because his retarded doctor told him it would ease his headache. Most people thought he caught syphilis because of that. He most likely had a brain tumor. Anyway, I agree, he was a neckbeard.

I've noticed a trend among narcissistic people really liking Nietzsche and even using his quotes as an excuse for their parasitic behavior.
I admit that if there is any merit in his "philosophy", I would miss it due to the mental connections I've formed between him and said NPD-fucks. But I also recognize that there might be something there.

So.. is there anything of real.. actual merit there? Or is it mostly an excuse for entitled, do-no-wrongs?

What would be the Muslim equivalent of one, holy, catholic and apostolic church?

I'm writing a short story where the Catholic Church becomes full Muslim after a fictional Third Vatican Council.

I'm thinking that since Islam doesn't have apostles, but prophets, something on the lines of one, holy, ecumenical prophetic church

An attempt was made at the very beginning, but then they started to dispute the succession and, thus, the Shiites became separated from the Sunnites.

The best you can do is maken Eastern Orthodoxy-like system (which has happened, see Shiite Iran, but is unlikely to spread.)

>We set out with the barbarians, and arrived at Sardica, which is thirteen days for a fast traveller from Constantinople. Halting there we considered it advisable to invite Edecon and the barbarians with him to dinner. The inhabitants of the place sold us sheep and oxen, which we slaughtered, and we prepared a meal. In the course of the feast, as the barbarians lauded Attila and we lauded the Emperor, Bigilas remarked that it was not fair to compare a man and a god, meaning Attila by the man and Theodosius by the god. The Huns grew excited and hot at this remark. But we turned the conversation in another direction, and soothed their wounded feelings; and after dinner, when we separated, Maximin presented Edecon and Orestes with silk garments and Indian gems....

Stalin

There probably wouldn't be a single one, absent some other figure who is generally blamed for starting a world war. You'd more likely get a larger cast of regional villains.

Gotta say Stalin

WW2 could easily have been against the USSR with Hitler as the good guy

if natives had learned to make steel from the norse, adapted their military tactics,and the whole continent had overall advanced to the iron age, would it have made a difference later?

Disease made literally all the difference. It wouldn't have mattered if their weaponry and tactics were somehow superior to the Europeans because smallpox was a fucking extinction level event to the natives.

They still wouldn't have resistance to old world diseases because of lack of domestication. Europe had unique environmental factors that caused its inhabitants to grow into some of the greatest civilizations on Earth. Read this book if you get the chance.
