Inventing the writing system that the entire western world uses. Honestly if they did nothing else this would be enough to make a great legacy.

It is the other way around. It was the celts(irish) who evangelized and civilized the vikings,before the celts the vikings were cultureless people.

The myth that he was good for Germany.

The Holocaust
The Jews

Blaming Jews for being smarter and having an active role in trying to run the world while at the same time whining that blacks making the same argument about whites are wrong.

As long as it doesn't affect or interfere with the autonomy others, yes.

Depends how valuable the end is and if its the majority that wants it.

there whole thing was a crazy idea.

marx should be viewed as a doctor too smart for his time. he could see what was wrong with capitalism but not "cure" it. hell, we're still looking for a cure.

Statism

It was supposed to be by the workers, for the workers. But it ended up being by the government, for the workers.

Ironically, unions were actually free-er in America than in the Soviet Union.

Studying history was the comfiest time of my life.

Still OP here.

I can't help but feel sometimes like I was born in the wrong age.

I joined the military. But for what? Bullshit and excuses.

Where is the time when a man could be a hero? It's so far gone I don't think it's possible anymore, excepting extreme circumstances.

I wish I could be one of those men of times past, with conviction and faith. Instead I'm an atheist with no one who would benefit from help. Real, heroic help.

They've once said "rule Britannia", and the waves washed away the German fleet.

>>1850096

The Brits were the main force in driving the Italians and Germans out of Africa and were the largest contributors for securing dominance over the Mediteranean. They ejected Vichy France from Syria and Madagascar. They pushed the Japanese out of India and Burma.

>Operation Unthinkable, what if it happened?


We have this thread a lot, an enormous amount depends on 2 things:

1) The rate of initial Soviet advance

2) The willingness of the Western World, predominantly the U.S., and Britain to a lesser extent, and other European countries to a lesser extent still, to wage the kind of war and incur the sorts of losses it would take to beat down the USSR.

>Did Russia's losses even put a dent in it's man power?

Yes. By late 1944 they were starting to pull people out of war material factory jobs to get into the front line. They weren't down for the count by a long shot, but they were starting to flag. Still, they almost certainly could keep that kind of war footing for several years more, especially if they can derive primary and even secondary resources from their conquered holdings in Europe a la what the Nazis were doing.

> Would allies recognize and be able to neutralize the danger of a ground war in Russia?

It's far from clear the Allies would need to go into Russia proper. If they start freeing a lot of countries in what would later become the Warsaw Pact, that is probably good enough, although it would be a slow, bloody business to even get that far.

>Soviet tech and production vs Western tech and production?

Assuming the West goes all out, their tech and production are considerably superior. The main Soviet advantages are immediate short term ones on the ground, not long term ones.

US would have won hands down. Sure, the Soviets outnumbered them heavily but they had nothing but infantry, US had tanks, bombers, you name it. History shows that tech always beats numbers, especially when one side has complete unquestioned air superiority.

Also, nukes. They'd have been been producing them at a rate of knots. Not to mention that they'd have been used tactically, rather than strategically.

> Sure, the Soviets outnumbered them heavily but they had nothing but infantry, US had tanks, bombers, you name it.

You are aware that the Soviets had a considerable armor industry, as well as fucktons of artillery, yes? And I'd need to double-check the numbers, but I'm pretty sure they had more ground attack craft than the U.S., although the Americans would have had a significant overall air advantage.

>Also, nukes. They'd have been been producing them at a rate of knots. Not to mention that they'd have been used tactically, rather than strategically.

Nuclear weapons, especially the nuclear weapons extant in 1945, aren't really that good for tactical bombing. And given that the USAAF primarily thought of itself as a strategic air arm, and looked down on being "flying artillery", it seems likely that such atomic weapons as were produced would be used strategically.

>>1843365
Yes, there have been survey of recorded battle wounds. Of course the frequency of sword use varied greatly from period to period, but in the sengoku, the period everyone cares about it was from about 3-5% of battlefield wounds

Katana was used to sever heads from dead body. The rewards were paid to the number of heads. The most effective weapon in battle field was rifle and the second most effective was stones. Naturally, there were more stones than bullets.

Injury reports, battle chronicles, etc.

Are East Asians just genetically and culturally predisposed to development unlike South Asians?

East Asia is made up of ethnically homogeneous states, was never really colonized in the same way South Asia was, and in the case of certain countries like Japan, Singapore, or South Korea, had a shit ton of foreign investment from the West in the early years of the Cold War to rebuild and jump start their economies.

It was certainly the peak of American civilization, before Woodrow Wilson fucked everything up.

The peak of Western civilization is yet to come. It's historical mission will only be finished when all national governments are dissolved and world government is established on a globalist basis, ensuring everlasting peace and prosperity for all humans.

Accept it, like it or not (I don't particularly like it, desu) that's what Western civilization really is about, not your petty nationalisms.
