>let's split this one giant colony we have into tens of tiny little countries with no historical background to give them a sense of patriotism or unity, basically just giving them the ingredients for civil war and instability for centuries to come
Seriously? What was the frenchies' logic here?
>>1856980
French West Africa and Equatorial Africa had administrative divisions. They basically correspond with the current african countries.
Why is multiculturalism upheld as some holy ideal in Europe and the United States but redrawing Africa's borders along strict ethnic and tribal lines considered the only way progress can be possible?
Really makes me think.

Turkic/Mongol invaders.
Did they leave any cultural / genetic traces in the Middle East?
Do Persians have some Turkic genes?
Pic related is Timur'dls facial reconstruction. I never expected him to be this Asian
>>1856768
No they didn't. Rape babbies is a myth. Now watch as the /pol/ brigade comes in the try and pull damage control against genetic facts.
Of course they did. I mean, they created an empire, not to mention that Turkic peoples other than those cited had been migrating in and through the Middle East for over a thousand years already.
>>1856768
Turkics look asian as fuck. Look up the Uighurs
Could Poland have been defended successfully in a hypothetical scenario where the Soviet Union never got involved and more of the Polish army was mobilized?
>>1856758
Poland could have held on longer, holding the Romanian bridgehead could have elongated the invasion significantly, but we're only talking weeks at most unless the Allies act more aggressive.
>>1856758
No. Poland was on its last legs when the Soviets finally marched across the borders.
Why did the crusader states fail?
>>1856698
>Minority of Norman and French over local Muslims, Christians, and Jews
>Surrounded by desert without extensive natural defenses
>Muslims states are richer and have more population
There's no way in hell the Crusader States could've lasted. It's a miracle they manage to cling for nearly 2 centuries.
Those nobles and settlers should've gone to Anatolia and help repopulate it from the Seljuk incursions.
>>1856709
>Those nobles and settlers should've gone to Anatolia and help repopulate it from the Seljuk incursions.
That's assuming they're working from the mindset of a unfied front against Islam. This is the same set of Crusades that attacked Byzantine and split it up briefly.
>>1856709
>Those nobles and settlers should've gone to Anatolia and help repopulate it from the Seljuk incursions
>Implying the population of Anatolia significantly changed due to Seljuk incursions
Which government fits better to Rome: democracy, communism or facism?
Anachronism isn't /his/.
>>1856673
Fascism, considering it can be whatever you want and change how it works constantly as long as the strong man continues to rule and keeps order.
>>1856673
Depends on which Rome you're talking about, republic would be closest to democracy, empire fascism. Then later on with the fall of Rome and the formation of the Turkish Republic it became a democracy again
>tfw Plato fundamentally ruined the entire western history of philosophy and religion
>>1856592
Plato is the founder of the western academic tradition.
He literally built the Academy.

why not socrates? his knowledge=good trash got us nowhere fast.
that being said, if knowledge=power and power=truth than I guess he was right accidentally.

To be fair, with the exception of the toyota and iran iraq war, these are all poor examples of arab incompetence, even though the seven days war shows how they are ridicuolously slow to react properly to an agression
Did you need to be 100% Italian to join the Italian-American Mafia or just part Italian?
Non Italians were associates, full blooded Italians were the only ones allowed to be "made", though later on they relaxed it to where you only need an Italian father (John Gotti Junior's mother was jewish)
Do this fags even exist anymore?
I'm from New York and suddenly all our criminals seem to be Russian, Chinese or Hispanic
No but you needed to be 100% jewish
