Holy shit I'm going to try this
Thanks Charles V!

Hitler tried doing two things at once, and it did not work. Thats why I never see my girlfriends at the same time.

Charles V taught me that when barons are increasing in power, it's not a good idea to persecute a beloved religious reformer.
But seriously, Charlie V was a solid dude and taught me even the best people can overexert themselves, so it's a good idea to relax when it's prudent.

Why were so many early 20th century capitalists Jewish or of Jewish descent? What was it about their background that made them more likely to become capitalists?

Real reasons please, not "it's a Jewish plot" or whatever.

Jewish people have a history of being oppressed, therefore they would gravitate towards an ideology that is against oppression?

Not so hard to understand, to be honest.

He was an anarcho-primitivist. He correctly realized that mankind was on a one-way ride to environmental catastrophe and he did the best he could to stop it. He targeted universities because they are the progenitors of the technology which is ruining everybody's life. In short, he was a dangerously sane man in an insane world.

Basically...
>until industrial revolution, asia in all fields
>since industrial revolution, europe in all fields
I also predict in the future this will be changed again due to recent indicators like Asia's unstoppable economic growth and the decline of the western world.

If Asia never got the ball rolling Europeans would still be hunter-gathers in living petty tribes starving

gee, I don't know anon, is this a European or Asian website

They sailed there and were met with locals. It's doubtful they ever sailed back from there.

I don't have the photos but there were legends of a sky tribe made of large great warriors with blonde hair and blue eyes. I think they were in the Andes too which makes sense seeing where they came from.

I'm pretty sure the Native Americans discovered it first.

Argentina doesn't have nukes, and it's full of British people who want to remain British.

UK owned Falklands, the Argentinian aggression was illegal, Argentina had basically no ability to fight back.
HK was subject of a treaty explicitly stating that it'd be returned to China, China couldn't realistically be kept from occupying it, trying to hold HK would make UK a world pariah and ultimately lead to nothing but the destruction of its economy.

There was no technological disparity between two groups. Both groups were largely armoured with mail with clothing over it to contain heat, using mainly spears, shields and swords. Arabian and Eastern horses were a bit better than their European counterparts in terms of stamina but not in great deal.

When Europeans first came they crushed through Muslims because Muslims were fractured to 4 different groups which all had infighting while also fighting Byzantines. After they reorganised they defeated Europeans because they had comparably smart tactical decisions and familiarity. There was also a more militant tradition amongst Arabs and Turks compared to Europeans at the time.

Utterly crushed?

They conquered a bunch of land and kept it for two centuries.

Their problem was maintaining a set of principalities with a really small permanent force and seasonal erratic campaigns launched from Europe.

The linchpin of their military conquest and subsequent occupation was a mix of diplomacy, a network of castles and heavily armed cavalry.

When the Mamluke guys kicked em out they did so by systematically destroying this network of castles.

Because economics are applied discipline, like medicine and unlike philosophy.

>Because economics are applied discipline
>this is what econoshits actually believe

Pro tip: almost no one in the real world actually uses any of the economic models proposed by economics. The only ones who actually do are economists themselves

the singapore thing was really a gamble by the japanese, they knew they were outnumbered so they went around hoping to surprise them by catching them off guard

except the brits not only fell for it but overestimated the japanese numbers

japan did isolate itself, meiji restoration was reaction towards being forced from isolation by the americans, look up edo era if you want to see that it looked like

I've been reading about Commodore Perry and how the actions of the USA kick started this whole thing.

Are there any other examples of non-western societies reacting to Westerners in this way? The Japanese saw the technology and understood they had to reform if they had any hope of competing with it.

>>1779918
they also looked at time during that time as well seeing how they performed during the opium war
and no japan was an exception
