That's a pretty big if that we can never be certain of. But here's some thoughts just for fun.

It's my understanding that Sub Saharan Africa was relatively sparsely populated at the time of early colonialism, while Europe was having a population boom. Without the Americas to expand to, Africa might've been flooded with many more Europeans than it was. Instead of having slavery as it was in the US, the Spanish may have implemented a sort of cast system in Africa like they did in some parts of the Americas irl.

Since Africa would be built up for Europeans to live in instead of just for resource extraction, it may have ended up being much more developed up until the Cold War. The most likely unpopular caste system may lead to big Communist movements on the continent and wars. Today much of Africa might still be more developed than it is irl, and would probably be more diverse with lots more whites and mixed race people.

There's no telling the cold war and communism would have even occured. Hell for all we know the Ottomans would've been in control of the Vatican in this scenario. There really is no telling what would of happened and it gets more speculative the further in history we go.

Probably somewhat better without triangle trade.

There are many forms of pleasure.

Graceful peace is where most religions tend to point to.

>>1770639
Almost always you need discipline in order to make yourself better, religion is something like that

>>1770639
Even graceful hedonism still a hedonism in its core.

Honestly you have to just be in a place that only speaks spanish to force your brain to latch on to any info given to you

Yea thats good they already are americanized so the transition should be easier but preferably it needs to be like 2-6 months

They joined sides with the fascists against capitalists before that.

It's really more like the fascists decided to fight everyone at once, because out of the three, fascists are the dumbest.

>>1770262
fascists endangered the profits of the international bankers the most*

That's WHY they're the dumbest, but a bit more specificity helps m8.

>>1770262
> fascists are the dumbest
> muh money
> muh equality
Nice opinion here. In reality, right wingers are the most educated and intellectual people you even got chance to know in your life. They are only one who learned to think in complex context and terms of population future, national ideas and degeneracy prevention.

A Serb kills an Austrian official.

Hard to untangle the chain of events.

>A Serb kills an Austrian official.

Cool story bro
If an American nutjob kills a Russian official, will Russia be justified in invading the US?

This is a hymn from the time of the Icelandic civil war. Written by a chieftain while he lay on his deathbed after being wounded in battle.

Zoroastrianism

>>1770037
It took a couple of hundred years of societal pressure but eventually Iran became a Sunni powerhouse.

Then the safavids turned them Shia under threat of death in a single generation, which is quite remarkable.

Funny how historians always make a pass for Islam. It's the same in India.

>all those chroniclers documenting massive slaughter of Hindus are just engaging in poetic license and hyperbole, Islam is the religion of peace and the Muslim conquest of India was done through assimilation, not warfare
>besides, Hinduism was invented by evil Brits to divide the Indian people

He had to promise that he would resign if the Church ever put him in a situation that would contradict his role as president during the election

I wonder who was behind his assassination....

I highly doubt we'll ever see anything like that again.

Why?

>>1769807
Maybe not in our current society, but the increasing rates of automation might create revolutionary conditions if there isn't an alternative to be found.

Someone post the copypasta

AND NOW SHES A LITTLE BOY IN SPAIN

Doesn't make any logical sense, why run at someone when they can just as easily shoot you from 100m

That doesn't mean officers aren't still required to wear them for official business

If you are asking sincerely and relating to the real world: the answer is almost certainly nothing.

If you are open to vast speculation beyond fantasy: it would take some sort of catastrophic event that sends humanity back into the stone age (which I concede effectively eliminates the 'modern' part of your question), OR there could some day be a form of incredibly pervasive authority over mankind that for some reason has eliminated any sort of weapon technology beyond simple melee weapons.

A fantasy example of the latter would be found in the Gor series by John Norman, in which highly advanced aliens effectively ensure that weaponry is not permitted to advance on an Earth-like planet while still allowing all other forms of technology. Galactic dictatorship.

>>1769632
>but what could possibly bring back to life the melee combat in modern warfare
Kinetic barriers. Yes, it's unrealistic science fiction shit, but still the least unrealistic idea.

>it seems pretty far fetched to deport/exterminate 100 million peopl
It wasn't meant to happen over night and they were already 5th of the way there when WW2 ended.

A Führer-order is a Führer-order, they would move heaven and earth to get it done

Forgot to add that I'm from Slovenia, which fought on the side of Austria-Hungary, so actually it's more likely the ring was made in the Isonzo Front.

Maybe all that ice that interconnects the landmasses there made them think this. What do you think "Eis Meer" means?
