How come Mongols fell off their snowball after three generations?

You'd think the greatest military power in the world at the time would have better means of maintaining their strength.

Wouldn't Islam make their better warriors?

A die hard spirit and a tighter organization.

Because they stopped being "The Mongols" and started being this, that and the other Khanate. A few centuries later, Timur styled himself the heir to Genghis Khan, and went on a conquering spree, but his army was little different from Persian armies before or after in composition, and he held court like a Persian Shah.

I hate to use a video game comparison, but it's too perfect: They got culture-flipped.

"In the ancient world" covers thousands of years of history over the entire planet, so of course it varied a lot like everything else.

But despite that we can still say "a lot less safe than us," since modern industrialized countries are the safest societies ever by a wide margin.

Elaborate

Would WWII be avoided if the USA didn't get into WWI? I mean, it would be only a political/territorial war, and not ideological (Democracy vs Monarchy). If the USA hadn't intervened in Europe's war, it would probably continue to be a bunch of empires and kingdoms, and with Austria, Germany and Russia being governed by strong moral figures the Bolsheviks would find a lot more trouble in seizing power, and so would Hitler and Mussolini.

Lol, USA wasnt that influencial by that time.
It was strong and the first superpower or near to be yes, but Europeans still didint give lots of shits about them.
>>
>>1667709
The major causes for WWII were the human devastation of Europe and economic troubles, particularly the Great Depression. The compounded effects of those two factors, human and economic destruction, on Russia, Germany, etc. is what helped idealist demagogues to take power there, not the United States' intervention.

Did the idea of the great war being an "ideological war" between Democracy and Autocracy even exist at that time in Europe? I'm pretty sure it may have been part of US propaganda but that's about it.
>>
>>1667727
You can notice that before WWI the tradicional monarchies were way more influential. When the USA intervenes and ends the war decisevily they, as the winners, tell the story with a lot of propaganda. And then the Austro-hungary empire is dissolved, Austria, a country that was one of the greatest european nations in all terms is simply reducted to its modern size and states that are no nations like Yugoslavia are created instead. Democracy took all Europe, and it may be explained by USA's influence as the winner.

Prove to me that the Abrahamic religions, and other religions, are fake.

So I can finally dispel myself from these human made illusions. Wondering if they're real or not is quite a burden.

Thanks.

Abrahamic religions are real, it's just that god doesn't exist.
>>
>>1667409
I meant real as in their supposed "relation" with God.

I had explored more of Richard A Muller's books(The Unaccomodated Calvin and Christ and the Decree: Christology and Predestination in Reformed Theology from Calvin to Perkins) regarding Calvin's views of Predestination and his overall thought in context.

So far, I end up rather confused particularly when I went to take a read from these two essays

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjIpJ7Jwv_OAhVBrY8KHUudAgQQFggeMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbiblicalstudies.org.uk%2Fpdf%2Fvox%2Fvol12%2Fcalvin_lane.pdf&usg=AFQjCNH9m_wDXw7V0ohon9tYm7e5xZcGng

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjIpJ7Jwv_OAhVBrY8KHUudAgQQFggyMAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.indieskriflig.org.za%2Findex.php%2Fskriflig%2Farticle%2Fdownload%2F1763%2F3943&usg=AFQjCNEb45ffnGMh0loonf1Q7wxmRPni4w

Both essays makes clear that Calvin believes in free will. But, the first by A.N.S Lane gives a more "libertarian" outlook(same with Muller). According to these two authors, Calvin is not a determinist.

The second labels Calvin as a compatabilist with respects to free will.

I hope the former Reformed guy can explain this better.

So far all I got is,
a)Calvin does believe in some sort of free will
b)He does appropriate elements of Medieval Catholic scholasticism
c)God decrees but on a human level, we have free will.

My knowledge isn't perfect and I certainly haven't finished reading both books by Muller. But I hope someone with a good background in Reformed theology can chime in on the matter

No matter what. Christianity is not compatible with being a libertarian.

All they've done was create only trouble within Europe and the rest of the world. Therefore I must ask the question, why, in detail of course.

Because actually this documentary shows me that Germans are indeed barbarians but it only gives me only a brief understanding of why they suck so much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ztOV2wrrkY

So how did Germans become so autistic, /his/?

Germans are an intrinsically evil and destructive people. They see stability, wealth, happiness, functional, developing and growing societies and they just get these urges to tear it all down, burn it to to ashes, gas it, and just do everything in their power to make things worse.

Here's one I think about sometimes OP: despite everyone who was alive at the time of this photo's taking, we still believe in and follow many of the concepts at the time. We have agreed to maintain many of the nation-states from the time, many of the same systems of laws, constitutions, regulations, etc.

why do people think Van Gogh would appreciate being talked about hundreds of years later? He wouldn't have cried at seeing his paintings in a museum he would have been embarrassed
12 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
Based on what ground do you make these claims
>>
because his art wasn't appreciated at the time
>>
He received only one review in a newspaper during his lifetime, and he was pleased enough to write a letter of thanks to the critic

More than anything, Van Gogh wanted human connection, but he was utterly socially inept. If he knew how much he is admired today, he would almost definitely cry
