Belarus is the back door of Europe, little and poor slavic USA. There is not major nation in Belarus, we are mixed. It is Lithunian territory in the past. Relation to Russians is neutral, because of economical links. Russian language is major.

You know how cat is pet version of a tiger? Belarus is a pet version of a Russia.

Russia is a part Asia. China has rised so fast because of good partnership with Russia. Belarus is a border between Asia and Europe.

But other than that, no, you just take it as a thing of faith, like Abraham looking at God's ass in the OT or Jesus walking on water.

Barbara Tuckman's "A Distant Mirror" deals with the 14th century and thus part of the war, but its really a survey of the times rather than an in-depth focus on any one thing.

Seconding this. It's a great read.

At what point in the conflict? Both militaries enormously changed their approach to things over the course of WW2?

>>1730690
Towards the end of WW2

What a gross simplifications.

American Military: Well armed. Obscenely well supplied. Plentiful. Minimal training. Low levels of experience. Large Navy. Well supplied great Air Force.

British military: Well armed. Well trained. Extremely experienced military structure. Irregularly supplied. Old fashioned slow to innovate command structure in the Army led to obsolete technology lasting far too long into the war. Back to the wall.

The Royal Fucking Navy speaks for itself.

Segmentata is extremely iconic and was used in the most commonly represented period, but hamata was always the most commonly deployed armor. I can't give you percentages but I doubt segmentata ever reached above the 20% mark.

What was missing from Roman metallurgy understanding to make full plate-mail?

Or was it possible but unpractical given the way the Roman armies operated?

Probably this, as something similar to full plate (albeit in bronze form) existed all the way back to the Archaic age.

He didn't "disavow knowledge", he admitted that he "knew nothing".

>>1730446
he admitted he knew nothing and that's what set him apart from everyone else who claimed to know something. While everyone knows nothing, Socrates was the only one to acknowledge his own ignorance

>>1730455
And?

>what is the old testament
>what is ancient Mesopotamia

>>1730371
the old testament is literally the story of slaves struggling with death and misery. They amounted very little in the end and their neighbours were always more powerful

Modern Israeli history is full of epic wins against numerically superior foes

So there is that

Also antagonizing their conquered people, but every nation does that, they are held to higher standards because of holocaust

How did theists cope with the fact that their entire life means nothing in presence of all might God of incomprehensible nature that can just rewrite is in a second by a whim?

>>1730274


How exactly does theism give ones life any worth?
Living a life which is just a series of tests to prove that you should be ascending to heaven seems like a pretty worthless life aswell.

Atheist or not, you should have a greater purpose to your life than life itself m8, does not mean that it should be a universal one.

The population of Russia is double the population of Germany, plus the Russians allowed/forced almost one million women to serve, so their pool of manpower was much greater than Germany.

Also the Russians relied more heavily on conscription than Germany at that time.

Soviet Union, not Russia you dumb negro.
