It is better to die for the Emperor
than to live for yourself.
Seriously, why didn't anynobody thought of this?
In short, invading through Switzerland was one idea Germans had but with logistics of that time, the problem of Swiss army and terrain that idea was discarded.
Invading via sea was always hard as fuck, especially against a prepared enemy. And we're talking about early 20th century here.
But they did, OP. An amphibious landing was considered.
As for violating the neutrality of Switzerland, that one was not.

And if that didn't work this would. 19th century mindset was still strong with french generality?
What is the general consensus on Ludendorff?

I am sure it will be just harmless pop history, wont do a very good job of representing things, but it wont involve aliens or anything.
I really should be, but with Nolan being english, I'm deathly afraid that the movie might devolve into something akin to: "hell yeah, we brits did it alone ;)! Anglo power mah man! where were the french where we needed them? "miracle" of Dunkirk yeah!" and those sorts of english propaganda.
Will it be about how the brave British saved the useless cowardly French? Or will there just not be any French at all?
What was the best Battle of WW2?
Stalingrad.
>>1718630
History will probably remember Stalingrad or the Normandy Invasions the longest.
One because of it's impact and the other because of it's well the largest invasion of all time in a war where beach landings had been one disaster after the next.
If I could Holodeck only one it would probably be Kursk.
English invasion of Iceland.
why is there a smaller gap between iron age (~3200 BC) and the roman period than between us and the romans when we are closer in time to the romans than the romans were to the iron age
im about to go to sleep and you know what im wondering...?
why arent there more ancient bones/remains? like, where did all the bones go? there were millions and millions of people before us, first human like apeish beings appeared 15 million years ago or so- actually screw that, why arent there also more dinosaur bones? there were millions and millions of dinosaurs and humans before us, yet when you check how many of them were discovered its less than 100..?!??? wtf
shouldnt we be able to find bones of our ancestors everywhere we go, but we dont? wheres the logic in this?

A lot of powerful nations and cultures were centered around flatland river systems and deltas, but how did Greece or Iran manage it with lands as mountainous and hemmed in as theirs? How did they manage to dominate places like Egypt and Mesopotamia and not have it be the other way around?
>>1718611
Tough environments require higher levels of organization and social experimentation and hierarchy to survive. In the Americas the lush lands were full of tribeshits and the deserts and mountains were advanced organized societies.
>>1718611
Its called being smart.
>>1718611
Iranian plateau on the highlands are relatively flat, its not as rocky or mountainous as Greece. But the natural borders of extremely hot deserts, mountain ranges on its borders, and steppe elevated highlands as well as relatively isolated presence until the 8th century BC gave it time to be ignored by other powers in Mesopotamia and the Levant; and that and the the Elamite state was usually the focus of foreign invaders while the Persians, Medes, and other Indo-Iranian people were still pastoral and semi-nomadic and not worth bothering about.

What's the longest amount of time someone can serve as president?
>>1718608
Two terms. But thats modern shit, FDR stayed in for four and he was in a wheel chair. They should have switched him out mid-WW2 though, the Brits and French would still have colonies.

Any good books about Stalin, focusing on his life and personality?
And by good I mean as objective as possible and derived from facts or probable facts, not demonization or appraisal.
Fuck that traitor
Is it true that Stalin and his crew excecuted people for fun at their drinking parties?
>>1718499
I'm not pro-Stalin I just want to learn something, what's the problem here?
How does Paris BTFO every other city in historical relevance, all while being comparatively small?

Charles Martel
>>1718392
Firstly, 4000BC-1900CE is a ridiculous timeframe. It's going to be skewed, favouring more recent history.
But Paris had one of medieval Europe's leading universities.
It's far north enough not to have been dominated by religion in the way much of southern Europe was.
After the French Revolution it attracted pioneers and progressive minds etc. Seriously, that image is way too distorted by the 19th century to take seriously.
Why is Jainism almost a dead religion while Buddhism and Hinduism have flourished and spread?
Is it because Jainism is so hard to practice?
It is older than both Hinduism and Buddhism. It's the oldest religion in the world according to archeological evidences.
>>1718324
because normies love asceticism only for claiming that they are not animals. jains are too much ascetic, and they are wrong anyway.
Animism is the oldest religion in the world

>It is older than both Hinduism and Buddhism. It's the oldest religion in the world according to archeological evidences.
Really? I have always thought that it came about at the exact same time as Buddhism and that the founder and Buddha even met each other at some point.
The probable reason for its unpopularity is that it is so hard to practice for anyone who doesn't live in a monastery.
Have we found everything?
