Were the original Italic tribes displaced throughout history like the Goths or Celts, or did they stay in the same general regions even after barbarian migrations and invasions?
>>1626270
etruscan up were a celtic mix already by that stage
>>1626270
The story goes like this mate, the italian people where at the city or village, behind some walls or fortress. Then suddenly a fucking lote of barbarians come out of nowhere, they bringing family, animals, tents, everything... The don't speak latin, they settle down in the fields just outside your fortress, and start occupying the land of your ancestors. You want to kill them but they are too many. A sige is produce and there are fights and there are trade, this goes on for years, eventually the new generation stat to speak latin and start to feel italians, they marry between and they integrate well. The the next wave of barbarians come.

How did soldiers in the front line willingly go into battle, knowing that 99% of them would die in the first minutes?
>>1625963
>knowing that 99% of them would die in the first minutes?
do you have a source for this bold statement
>>1625966
No, I was generalizing
>>1625963
Most soldiers died in the rout.
Historical figures you like for dumb reasons.
Nero. Because of Sporus, guy loved his traps and it's commendable.
>>1625902
Thats a really stupid reason.
>>1625906
I know, hence the point of the thread.
I heard about him in a documentary or some shit where they were listing off batshit Roman Emperors and the things they did, and right after the horse guy they talked about Nero and said how he, "Took a liking to a slave boy, had him castrated and turned him into his bride"
And it caught my attention real fast.
>>1625917
that's pretty alt-right
There are six people who can be killed. You could pull the switch to kill five or do nothing and kill the single guy, but to give everyone a fair chance you decided to roll the die. If die lands a six, then you kill the five persons. In other case, fate chose the single guy to die. Is this correct solution? Seems to be most unbiased, it gives chance to everyone.
>>1625867
Kill one guy, no life is worth more than any other
>>1625894
What if one guy is pretty great one and five guys are just a scum?
>>1625899
No life is worth more than the other
So horse archers were unstopable until they invented guns ?
Or until they ran out of arrows
>>1625839
More like until they faced an European fortress.
>>1625839
The longbow could kill them at 400 yards
Do you ever get weirded out philosophically by the benign indifference of the universe?
A meteor could crash into your house as you are reading this sentence and destroy you in an instant, and nothing you ever did or aspired to in your life could change that.
A gust of solar radiation could get through the hole in the ozone layer and instantly kill every animal for a ten mile radius, and it would be no big deal for things in general.
If there is a God, it doesn't give a fuck. Babies get born with fucking mutant limbs.
The universe does not seem to proscribe any moral compass at all. So are we forced to make one up?
>>1625758
>nothing you ever did or aspired to in your life could change that
Being somewhere else

Are you a masochist?

No. I find it quite comforting to know the universe doesn't give a shit.
What did fighting in the early days of World War 1 look like?
On 14 August the Second Army of Gen. Edouard de Castelnau entered western Lorraine – open countryside interspersed with coal- and salt-mining districts –led in the accustomed French manner,by mounted officers, colourbearers and bands. The Germans did not seriously dispute their passage, because they had prepared an elaborate reception some twenty miles eastwards.
On the plateau north-west of Morhange 150mm howitzers were emplaced, with lines of 77mms and machine-guns on the tiered lower slopes of the same heights. French aviators warned their commanders of the strength – indeed, near-impregnability – of the German position, but they were ignored.
>>1625693
>but they were ignored.
oh God, help us.
>At around 6:00 am on 2 August 1914, Leutnant Albert Mayer and his small cavalry patrol illegally crossed the French border. They did not meet resistance, as the French had moved their troops back 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from the border, to avoid provoking the Germans and to show good faith in their attempts to avoid war.
>At 9:50 am Mayer slashed with his sabre at (but did not injure) a French sentry, who was on lookout at the entrance to Joncherey. Jules Andre Peugeot and four other soldiers were at their billet eating breakfast at the time. The daughter of the owner of the house came back inside from fetching water and reportedly said "The Prussians! The Prussians are coming!"[1]
>Around 10:00 am, Peugeot and his four comrades went to arrest the Germans. Upon meeting Mayer, he fired three shots at Peugeot. One hit his shoulder and Peugeot fired back as he was falling. Peugeot's comrades opened up on the patrol with pistols.
>Mayer was shot in the stomach but seconds later was killed by a shot to the head. Peugeot stumbled back to the billet house where he died at 10:37 am.[2] Three more Germans were injured and one managed to escape for a few days by hiding in the woods but was eventually captured. One of the German soldiers was never seen again and two escaped to Germany.[1]

why did /his/ end up abandoning this? /lit/ has published several books and you guys can't even do a single definite chronicle of a per-historic empire.
Because it was never a good idea. The stupid Finnish Korean memeing was cancer and still is cancer
This board is about actual historical events
>>1625538
>>1625531
It was abandoned because threads about it got deleted on sight.
I never hear much about Russia in WW1. Post pictures of Russians in WW1 and write a summary of Russia in WW1.
Swedish video game maker here
Russia didnt partake in WW1
You probably confused it with Bedouins, who indeed played an immense role in the war
>>1625454
You forgot to mention those Bedouins were females you sexist fuck.
Which founding father would you rather be enslaved by?
>You must pick one
>>1625423
I heard Franklin was quite a player.
>>1625423
Franklin, since the only slave(s?) he owned were basically butlers and he did it or more out of keeping appearances than anything else. Also he helped found one of the first anti-slavery societies in the world so I'm not sure why he's lumped with the others. 2bh I don't know much about Madison's relation to slavery.
>>1625423
Is that John Adams in the pic? Pretty sure he didn't own slaves.

Just read some Bart Ehrman.
So what is the best form of government?

Why was America the only country with a settler/frontier culture? Not only this but up until recently most of the US population was rural rather than urban. As far as I know no other country has had something similar to that.

No. Russia has Siberia and Australia has the Outback.
