Look at all those areas highlighted in red. There are barely any people there. An empire requires a certain population density to qualify as an empire.

Nords lived in an area of the globe that literally slowly takes away all of your energy its a miracle nords managed to establish civilizations in those frozen hellholes they came from. So naturally nords were less about expanding and more about just trying to survive.

Because Viking is a term for Norse pirates and raiders.

And Norse is an ethnicity.

No, the only job for history is becoming an academic or working a a museum. If you don't like it, stop, because your career is just going to be more of the same or being a barista.

>>1818661
Yes.

You are not either a /pol/ack, or some liberal dipshit with MUH PROGRESSIVISM. You also cease to be a whiney faggot asking "WHY ARE THINGS LIKE THIS" whenever something goes "Bad."

Get autistic about a certain period of time that interests you and write a couple of papers on it.

The term "I'm just pulling your leg" comes from a time in Britain when hangings were common for all sorts of crimes. The Bloody Code demanded the death penalty for virtually any crime that you could think of, so in some cities you could expect multiple public hangings per day. Sometimes, somebody would hang but their neck would not break (this was due to the hangman using too short of a rope). When this happened, the condemned person would be left choking in midair until they finally died, which could take a while.

So when this happened, the friends of the condemned would run to the gallows and pull the victim's legs downward to make them die more quickly, sparing him/her the pain of having to wait for a slow death.

Holy fuck.

i feel like I know some but now that I want to type it out I cant think of any

Not according to our nigga St. Augustine. Rome was bound to fail anyway and Chrisitianity sustained it a little longer

It's more like the vermin that grow on the rotten carcass, or the disease that infects a weak body. Christianity was the symptom, not the disease.

The best way to have power is just to make people happy. Nobody rebels when they are content.

Literally women pushing their new political weight around arguing that crime and domestic abuse would go down if alcohol was taken out of the picture.

I find it hilarious the same year they get the right to vote they push the most anti male policy possible.

I wouldn't mind living in a non-alcoholic society, but I also realize that's pretty unrealistic to be done.

I know that I'm forbidden by law from luring them into my home and imprisoning them for heresy

Nice enough people when they're not trying to convert you as you wait for your LIRR train.

Their "church" was started by a guy who said the world was going to end multiple times and then his followers spewed the same crap.

They are also not Christian since they do not believe in the Trinity, only the father.

Forced into early retirement by Gorbachev, Aliyev focused his resources on returning to power and avenging Gorbachev for his retirement. Aliyev plotted against Gorbachev by orchestrating the ethnic conflict that would lead to cessation of Azerbaijan from USSR and dissolution of the USSR. The first pogroms against Armenians in Azerbaijan were instigated by the local mafia, which was controlled by Aliyev, in order to create an international crisis that would be detrimental to Gorbachev regardless of the outcome.

Azeri Heydar Aliyev in the KGB since 1940s. As head of the KGB's branch in Azerbaijan, Aliyev ran an anti-corruption campaign as a cover for purging his opponents. Since 1960s, KGB Aliyev directed a Soviet "anti-corruption" campaign, which was a personal campaign at eliminating competitors and expanding his own power. Aliyev made progress in the fight against "corruption": a number of Aliyev's competitors were sentenced to prison terms and execution. Those who he could not imprison or execute, would be restricted and discriminated against: Aliyev barred the offspring of certain legal personnel from attending the Republic's law school, in a purported effort to curb a self-perpetuating elite countering Aliyev's power.

If a culture/nation cannot force its people to support their nation, it's going to be defeated and replaced by the one that does.
Simple natural selection.

>why should someone support their nation?
Because without national identity you are just another poor peasant living on someone else lands with no cultural or historical ties that helped buid it into greatness of one tribe of indigenous people uniting.

Like an American for example.

>>1820725
American's all have a common bond in that 99.5% of them left their homeland for the US. That coupled with an admiration for liberal democracy and you get an intensely nationalistic (or patriotic rather) populace.
