That the world is much more full of knowledge than we think.

he dumdum

seriously speaking the argument is incorrectly formulated, better would be "I don't know if I know anything"

that complete knowledge of even the simplest things are impossible

Started off well, but really fucked up after uniting the country. He throws out the Monarchy with the intention of ending their power forever, then declares himself 'High Protector'?

>>1795680
was he a good ruler? he ruled for about 10 years didnt he?

>>1795686
Sort of, he was very competent, but he was too radical - bringing too many changes to the establishment before it had time recuperate, not to many starting further wars JUST after the Civil War and during the supposed rebuilding period. He also dissolved Parliament and ran the state as a Dictator, using his son as a successor. Not to mention he was a severe fundamentalist who had some odd decisions (ie he invited all the Jews formerly banished from England to resettle, and banned Christmas celebrations)

But they do speak their own language.

Or do you think that present day countries are homogenous and distinct from each other in every way including language?

They do. They speak English.

Jesus /his/ really has gone down the drain.

They see themselves as chosen people and the rest of us as goyim sheep that are to be used and discarded.

Depends on who you ask on both sides.

Everyone in the world besides Europeans consider Jews white.

Jews in the US save a few sparsely numbered conservative sects consider themselves white

Israeli's consider themselves "Western", but not necessarily white. They have a more national identity to Jews.

Anyway, there's your answer. In b4 the /pol/beards

they're basically white but neither stormniggers or jews want to accept it

Germans would have obtained a French surrender by the end of 1915. The Russian Empire would have been partitioned as it was historically in 1916 instead of 1917.

>>1795463
I doubt the French would have held on. It wouldn't be a defeat on the scale of 1871 or 1940 but Paris would fall eventually.

I also doubt as many countries would've jumped on the bandwagon and joined in favour of the Allies. Italy might even be persuaded to join the Central Powers if the war goes especially bad for the French in the early stages.

Tough call. Some sort of a Marne would still happen. Some sort of a pre-1918 German victory with Germany coming on top from a conflict of attrition, not strangled by the blockade and with a numerical advantage over the French forces.

it's what Africa would be if it was never colonized

>>1795484
there's an island in the map called New Ireland. Doesn't that indicate they were colonized?

I think russia,iran and china have some imperialistic tendencies,no?

>>1794746

Classic Imperialism was neat. You get to some place, you conquer it, then you establish some sort of administration and public services in the conquered place while raping the economy of the country.

Modern Imperialism, USA basically, is un-elegant. A combination of direct military interventions to destroy countries and indirect interventions, via coups d'etat, regime-changing, economic war, support for terrorist/factionalist groups to destabilize countries and so on to keep countries under their political and economic domination.

Also, funny pic. Prussia never was an Imperialist country and had zero colonies.

>>1794811

>Can influence nothing that isn't bordering their own country

You'd call that Imperialism?

No. There's nothing wrong with bringing civilization to savages.

Obviously even the Nazis didn't REALLY believe the Empire was all that evil, since Hitler supposedly made all the SS recruits watch some old film about British India as an example of how to keep the population in line.

mixed bag, as all empires
among the good things they introduced newspapers, commerce, sports and transport

Knight is a title not a class of soldier.

>>1794719
True. What OP is referring to are men-at-arms (which are technically not 'knights'), although any knights who fought in battles would have likely been men-at-arms.

I think the issue is that infantry warfare basically adapted to account for knights over time, while earlier knights in the time of Charlemagne and the Early Medieval period would have definitely controlled the battlefield.

>>1794691
Because it's not what you have, it's how you use it.

In Agincourt and Crecy the knights were deployed terribly, attacking in such a way that the usual advantages were negated by the terrain, order of battle and many other things.

This is not unique to medieval Europe; it's a recurring theme in warfare.
There was a battle during the US annexation of the Philippines where riflemen were ambushed and butchered with knifes and machetes. Why? Because riflemen lose most of their potency as a military tool when used indoors, as opposed to on an open plain. In their arrogance they let their guard down, and the Flips made them suffer for it.

In the first Battle of Grozny, tanks were used horribly and there were actually factually reports of tank crews getting killed with SWORDS. The tanks were driving in a straight line, so the Chechens blew up the first and last tank, trapping the entire column. Thus making almost everything useful on the tanks a liability.

The FreRev totalled about 40-55k deaths. Not really an evil compared to what happens today.

You see, India has many traditionally nomadic peoples.

Some of these people wandered out of India proper and plague the rest of mankind.

Ah yes, they wandered out of India on their own. British colonialism played no role in relocating Indians different parts of the globe.
