Same reason it is now. America sponsors goat fuckers to topple the legitimate secular governments in the middle east if they don't bow to them.

But the Soviets were the ones who destabilized the Afghani government by getting rid of the popular elected leader and putting a commie puppet in his place.

Hungary isn't a broken shithole of a country, and it doesn't border Pakistan.

Not enough domestic rich people supported it.

The first one was Caesarean in nature and Caesarism always ends up collapsing due to lack of public support.

The second one was a superimposed colonial project by Napoleon III. Maximilian was a cool dude though.

Marie Antoinette was just a tragic scapegoat whose only crime was getting married off to the French king.

She never even said "let them eat cake" or any variation thereof, that was just propaganda.

>Was it a justified execution, politically?

Technically, I suppose, since she did reveal French military locations to an Austrian ambassador in 1792, but at the time they didn't have any evidence she did so and even she had the insight to remark at her trial that they had not been able to produce against her any positive fact, and that most of the people who gave testimony were unknown to her. The "evidence" at her trial was just a parade of the ridiculousness that had been in the pamphlets for years, rather than any sort of legitimate crimes.

Diplomatically, it wasn't a good move. If the king's death was viewed as the horrendous action of a rebelling populous, the queen's death was viewed as a mindless slaughter. You just didn't execute the women in a European revolt or revolution. I think the French republic could have stabilized its status in Europe at least somewhat if it had sent Marie Antoinette, the king's sister, and the king's children out of France in exile rather than killing Marie Antoinette, a few months later killing the king's sister, and having the king's son neglected to death.

>How has her image changed in the past 220 years?

It's changed from era to era. Sometimes she's been sanctified, sometimes she's been vilified, in the past 100 years she's been depicted as more slutty, thanks to Stefan Zweig's biography tipped the pendulum towards depicting her as a featherbrained, flirty spendthrift who acted wildly because she needed sex. In popular culture this tends to be the view--popular programs that talk about her (like some short-lived TV series where they made parties inspired by historical figures) tend to emphasis her being wild, drinking a lot, flirting, devil-may-care, etc. And of course "let them eat cake" or even the idea that she demeaned or was callous towards the poor will never stop being attributed to her or modern politicians who are then called "Marie Antoinette."

>whose only crime was getting married off to the French king.

I mean, she did give up French military positions to the Austrians. The proof didn't come out until decades and decades after her death when her correspondence was published, though.

Not very efficiently.

When you look at that you should probably also understand that the Population was centered almost entirely around the Mediterranean, so the majority of news could reach rome in just a few days.

interesting question, I would like hear this too.
bump to keep this thread alive

In case the question is not clear, I'll like to know if it was usual to invoke some specific god at the start of the letter, just like tombs often invoke the Dis Manibus. Or if there are expressions related to letters like sit tibi terra levis, to provide another funerary-related example.

Or in general if it was customary in a formal letter to follow some kind of paragraph structure where you first start with trivial things, then introduce the main subject, etc.

After the Bering strait showed up, I doubt it.

Not much worth venturing out into the frozen abyss for.

When the land bridge was there, probably. Afterwards, probably not. There wasn't much in eastern Siberia that you couldn't find in Alaska.

Who cares?

Go back to /pol/ or /int/ or whichever shithole you came from.

Pic related are Ancient Spartans/Spartini which do not resemble the modern-day mix-breed Greek.

>>1833096

Greeks cannot claim Sparta. They can at best claim their slave descent but that's also pushing it since Greeks have mixed origins.

I agree with the statement. The Reformation was a result of many factors, and blaming the entire thing on Luther is not only ridiculous, but indicative of lack of historical knowledge (since there were many other reformers at the same time, and many of them much more radical than Luther).

But it still seems to trigger Catholic fags, for some reason. Probably because all they know about the Reformation is what they were taught in their catechism class by some volunteer old lady.

>>1833034
Why blame Luther for anything? The Catholic church is ridiculous, he spoke up against it and now you can go to church and...
1. Know what you're worshipping.
2. Not have to deal with a stupid church hierarchy.

Thank him, if anything.
