Notice how the Americas are completely isolated from the rest of the world, while there's a direct land route from Europe all the way through to China, which is just a skip and a hop away from Japan.

Japan traded with China and had already been exposed to old world diseases for centuries

Neoliberalism is real but it's not just about economics.

If I'm a dictator, why do I need a constitution at all?

>>1698160
Because you are a good person you care about your people.

>>1698162

So? I'm still apparently an authoritarian. I'll just go with enlightened despotism. Fuck creating anything that can even theoretically trammel my authority.

Pseudo-linguists please go

A Danish-Anglian oath-taking mercenary foreigner huscarl and heathen was teaching a class on Harald Godwinson, a known usurper.

"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and swear loyalty to Harald and accept that he is the rightful heir to the throne of England, and ruler of all
Britannia!"

At this moment, a brave, Righteous, Christian, Normand vassal Knight who had sacked over 1500 townships and understood the necessity of pillaging and fully
supported Duke William as the rightful heir of Edward the Confessor stood up and held up a longboat.

"What's this for?"

The arrogant snownigger smirked quite Danishly and smugly replied "Raiding monasteries, you stupid Christian"

"Wrong. It’s for seaborne invasions. If Harald Godwinson, as you say, is the rightful heir... Then he should have recieved a Papal sanction by now."

The mercenary was visibly shaken, and dropped his bearded longaxe and pouch of Geld. He stormed out of the room crying about oaths and heathen deities. He wished so much that he had an
excuse to not fight the Normands, but he himself had sworn to defend Harald to the death!

The students applauded and all became vassals of Duke William that day and accepted the leadership and guidance of Bishop Odo. A comet named "Halebop" flew across the heavens, signalling the Duke's divine right to rule. The bible was not read, because no one could even read, and God himself guided their army to victory.

The viking lost his life and was beheaded at the battle of Hastings. He died defending the body of Harald and was buried with full honours.

Eventually. It would be bloody, and take years longer than the historical war, but they would batter their way in through superior industrial effort.

If nothing else, come late 1945, the atomic weapon comes into play.

that's an interesting question, and I'm inclined to say no
>Soviet cool with Germany means Soviet cool with Japan; Japs are now able to concentrate 100% of war effort on America
>Hitler would have little to no forces on eastern front; millions of dollars and lives saved for the Germans
>>1697954
>superior industrial effort
If the war dragged on Germany would have absolutely obliterated when it comes to industry
>rockets
>jets

we'd have to nuke germany instead of Japan, and they might have nuked back. It would have been fucking horrible

Yes, definitely. If memory serves, the British alone outproduced Germany in most resources/products which is kinda what you want in a prolonged total war.

This.
True patricians read doujinshi.

this would have to have taken place millions of years ago

as west africa travelled across the atlantic ocean a species of sentient eusocial jumping spiders would evolve in the new harsh environment, when the continents collide they would rapidly swarm throughout the Americas then compete with each other on a massive scale in the new lush environment, in a few 100000 years a master race of intelligent spiders would emerge and a tribe far to the north would figure out how to cross the being strait

early man would be domesticated and used as slaves for large construction projects, fearful of the extremely painful stings of their arachnid overlords

Europe could have colonised South America early in history, possibly not long after Asians as the proximity to spain would not need to long distance.
History could have been different though as the currents would have different courses. There might not have been a gulf stream to give Europe a mild climate for civilisation.

Carthage wouldn't have been founded, completely changing the events that happened after it. So who the fuck knows?

Good to see such a strong interest in objective historical accuracy.

As I understand it many Protestants think Faith will cause you to automatically do good actions.

I've run into quite a few who have greater faith in Jesus than anything in the world, including science, but still fornicate left and right.

INB4 someone mentions the passage.

For one thing, Western urban populations weren't fuckhuge enough to justify it until the 1700s.

For another thing, urban planning wasn't a thing.

Why do you think they didn't? The middle ages saw a great boom in commerce and transport.

>Why did Renaissance Italians worship Roman art and architecture but not Roman roads or aqueducts?
Roman roads were built with the movement of the army in mind. Establish a fort mostly out of wood, build a road connecting it to the closest Roman town, beat the opposition, get the boys marching further away from the capitol city, rinse and repeat.

During the Middle Ages the urban population growth resulted in people building houses next to one another, there was no urban planning master strategy, you can see hilariously narrow roads in any historical city center in Italy as a consequence of this, car drivers hate going through them. And keep in mind that they didn't have anything significantly wider than two horses or even one to drive through them.

In the sack of Rome of year 455, the Vandals managed to capture the city because they knocked down all the aqueducts of Rome. Suddenly they don't look that impressive anymore. Perhaps we should imitate what the Romans did right.

Also in the Middle Ages people came up with kennels/canals/channels to get rid of wastewater.

In the 19th century you have two Industrial Revolutions, urbanization with massive migrations of would-be workers from the countryside to the city where the factories are, national States, etc.

It's a completely different animal. Urban planning that isn't complete and utter shit is now a necessity.

Hitler? think he misunderstood the message

>>1697069
Yeah, pretty sure Nietzsche would have strongly objected to needless bloodshed. Especially of Jews, whom he considered vital contributors to Western civilization.

>>1697077
i think u misunderstood as well
