Can we have a political film and cartoon thread? Seeing how filmmakers responded to the politics of the day fascinates me.

This guy is a highly regarded experiential filmmaker and he made a number of political documentaries. I also saw his "Blue Helmet" (a very simple recording of an UNPROFOR soldier talking about his experiences in Bosnia) and "The Case of the Grinning Cat" (a longer film that starts off by looking for a certain type of cat graffiti that appears all over Europe, but it branches out into describing the contemporary politics, including the Le Pen defeat in 2002). All are very interesting imo.
Is it Egyptian? Is it Sudanese?
Egyptian, the frontier was definited on the 22nd parallel north

sudan has a better claim on it, but it should be egypt for the aesthetics
Ah yes, the """"Auld"""" alliance lmao. What a glorious frien-
>The Battle of Verneuil was a strategically important battle of the Hundred Years' War, fought on 17 August 1424 near Verneuil in Normandy and a significant English victory. It was a particularly bloody battle, described by the English as a second Agincourt. Altogether some 7262 French and allied troops were killed, including 4000 Scots. English losses were 1600, including two men-at-arms and "a very few archers".[2] The Scots army, led by Archibald, Earl of Douglas and John Stewart, Earl of Buchan (both of whom were killed), was almost destroyed. Many French noblemen were taken prisoner; among them the Duke of Alençon, Pierre, the bastard of Alençon, and Marshal de La Fayette. After Verneuil, the English were able to consolidate their position in Normandy. The Army of Scotland as a distinct unit ceased to play a significant part in the Hundred Years' War, although many Scots continued to serve in France.

the kingdom of scotland btfo, how will the kings of scotland ever recover?
Does he have a point?
One could also argue in the other direction and lay claim to the fact that Judaism's international existence acts to spread the ancient prophesies and writings, fulfilled by Jesus of Nazareth, that would have otherwise fallen into relative obscurity and thus weaken the position of the Christian church. Thus it is in God's will that his chosen people continue to spread the history of God's relationship with his people to the benefit that all may know of him, and that his promises are always fulfilled.
Regardless of whether it's true, I've seen that point argued before. It's an interesting dilemma.
Are wars between great powers simply inevitable? Neither Rome, nor Carthage, had any great hatred for the other. In fact, they had a long and mutually beneficial trading relationship. At one point, there was even an agreement between the two cities where merchants from one city would have the rights of citizens while operating in the other city. There was even an incident where, upon triumphing in a local war, the city of Rome received a golden crown as a gift from Carthage, which the Romans adored so much that they had in displayed in the Temple of Jupiter, their most holy temple. And to hammer in the point just a bit more, Carthage even sent soldiers to Italy to defend Rome during the Pyrrhic War.
All of this only changed when Rome became so powerful that Carthage began to see Rome as a threat to its own power.

Wars between powers of similar sizes, not just great ones, are "inevitable", but it's more of a Maxwell's Demon type deterministic inevitability than hard inevitability. You'll have a war any time one polity thinks the potential benefits of a war outweigh the costs of said war. As time increases to the infinite, and you get almost countless permutations of various political factors, the odds of such a confluence where someone thinks a war is a good idea approaches one.

wow thats really cute
>Until I was eleven or twelve, I didn't realize there was a second set of labia on the inside, since you couldn't see them. What's even funnier is that I thought urine came out of the clitoris…When you're standing up, all you see from the front is hair. Between your legs there are two soft, cushiony things, also covered with hair, which press together when you're standing, so you can't see what's inside. They separate when you sit down and they're very red and quite fleshy on the inside. In the upper part, between the outer labia, there's a fold of skin that, on second thought, looks like a kind of blister. That's the clitoris.
Anne Frank, Tingly jewess.
Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every stool was looser than the one before, and smelled fouler. By the time the moon came up she was shitting brown water. The more she drank, the more she shat, but the more she shat, the thirstier she grew, and her thirst sent her crawling to the stream to suck up more water.
Is the history of Scotland only about being JUSTed by the English?
No. Tacitus has a whole section on their insurgency against the Severine Emperors. Although once Severus dies they end the war so the brothers can feud and then Caracalla goes full kinslayer.
>Agree to the Anti-Federalists demands for a Bill of Rights
>Immediately break the 1st Amendment
Are Federalists even human
Jefferson had more people arrested for the same reason even without the Alien and Sedition acts.
Anybody know of any others?
Bad example as the patent's based on screen gestures - slide over a screen and unlock, that's the patent.
Someone needs to change this. Because this is pure bullshit. Jesus was not a "Jew". He was from the Tribe of Judah. Which was from the Tribe of Jacob. This wiki is pure bs. Also, it is WAY too obvious at this point, that the "Jews" were doing the exact same thing to Rome as they are today to America and the Commonwealth.
>The split of early Christianity and Judaism took place during the first centuries AD. It is commonly attributed to a number of events, including the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus (c. 33), the Council of Jerusalem (c. 50), the destruction of the Second Temple and institution of the Jewish tax in 70, the postulated, and largely discredited, Council of Jamniac. 90, and the Bar Kokhba revolt of 132–135.

>The financial crisis under Caligula (37–41) has been proposed as the "first open break between Rome and the Jews", even though problems were already evident during the Census of Quirinius in 6 and under Sejanus (before 31).[5]

Person who made that graph is probably the kind of autist who spends all day developing game of thrones theories lmfao

Will the Kalmar Union ever reunite?
I prefer Cnut's North Sea Empire
that map needs pomerania to be included too
Laconophile here, does anyone have any information on what happened in the city of Sparta following the Roman conquest? How long did their ancient traditions last if they did last beyond the conquest, and is there any specific information of Spartans serving in the Roman legions?
>>3254212
I don't know of any primary sources that discuss Sparta in any real detail after the death of Nabis.
Therefore, I find it sadly necessary to suggest a secondary source. I have read this one, it's pretty interesting:
https://www.amazon.com/Hellenistic-Roman-Sparta-Paul-Cartledge-ebook/dp/B00IC8JLYS/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1502935121&sr=1-3&keywords=sparta+lakonia+history
It's not for novices, but you call yourself a Laconophile so it should be suitable.
