How did other less advanced indigenous peoples think about the Aztecs, Mayans, and Inca? How did people like the Yanomamo and Tupi feel about their civilization-building neighbors? Did they regard them with the same alienation they feel toward the Modern American continents, or where they somehow closer?
What is the flag of the HRE doing there?

>Aztecs
Fear and anger. Being next to them meant you got Flower War'd for sacrifices.
>>1620535
Flower Wars weren't just raids for captives, anon. They were pre arranged battles between the belligerents (it wasnt uncommon for three separate parties to participate in a Flower War, by the way) with agreed upon locations and dates, but yeah for the sole purpose of taking captives, which is probably where the "Aztecs didnt try to kill their opponents they tried to capture them"

What if the US had lost the Mexican-American war from 1847?
The Southern rebellion was largely the outgrowth of the Mexican war. Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions. We got our punishment in the most sanguinary and expensive war of modern times. - General U. S. Grant
One of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation. It was an instance of a republic following the bad example of European monarchies, in not considering justice in their desire to acquire additional territory. - General U. S. Grant

The only way America loses the war is if you go back decades before it started and somehow manage to get Mexico to unfuck its shit.
You're better off either preventing the war happening to begin with, or end it as soon as possible with little public support from American citizens. Somehow prevent the idea of Manifest Destiny from kicking off.
Mexico's claim on most of New Mexico, California, and Texas was just imperialistic as the USA manifest destiny'ing it's way to the coast desu
>>1620461
Not really, La nueva españa had sought for those territories since they got control of them and the american families that settled in texas were there just some decades before the independence.
What's /His/'s opinions on Chiang? Was he preferable to the Communists or was he just a warlord who would have ruined China even more?
>Was he preferable to the Communists
Yes, objectively.

Yes, objectively.

Germans attempt to destroy Europe again. It's a recurring theme in European history.
This is the original social justice textbook
That would be the Constitution.
>>1620241
The constitution deserves more respect in the political and legislative sphere, but The Bible:
>Tells the story of an oppressed slave race in the first testament and portrays the asymmetric relationship between them and their oppressors who they outsmart and escape with God's blessing
>Tells the story of God taking human form in the second testament and educating the ignorant on social justice issues
If you mean advocating for literal social justice, that is saying caring for the widows and orphans and the poor is part of being moral, and those who trample on them are wicked, then yes, social justice is a large them. If you mean "social justice" as in the modernist ideology that says transsexualism should be exalted and women should be proud of being harlots, and that if you're skin color is white, you should feel ashamed, then no, it's not a textbook of that at all, because the Bible is a core book of an ancient system of thought, whereas that system of thought is wholly modernist.

This is a blatant hominem but christ she was ugly.
This is the only picture where she looks waifu-able.
Her philosophy isn't exemplary or revolutionary in any way. Same with many modern contemporary philosophers. Objectivism is not profound.

Do monarchists see themselves as nobility or something? If they get their way, they'll likely end up serfs and worse off than before.
Of course, it's just another version of the "it's happening" and "le zombie apocalypse" memes. Unhappy losers can only imagine themselves happy if everything is completely different. Because of course the problem is not them, it's every other thing in the world.
Monarchists have simply ignored or forgotten the 20th century
>>1620112
no, of course not. we see other things as more important than mere monetary gain, which materialists of all stripes will never understand, since they're spiritually and morally bankrupt.

And he killed himself like a bitch

He was going to be the lead role in the rape of Persephone, if you know what I mean. Probably killed himself to preserve what little dignity remained.
How do people who claim Versailles was too harsh cope with the fact the infinitly harsher Post-WW2 peace (country divided, never ending military occupation still occuring to this day) effectively succeeded at preventing another German chimpout?
Looks like a harsher Versaille would've worked better to me

We should have just given all of Germany to Poland to be honest, they already have half of it, may as well give them everything and be done.

How old were you when you finally saw through the propaganda to realise the Wehrmacht was clean?

But Nazi Germany had programs of institutionalized drug usage? They were not clean.
Does this satisfy you?

I'm not sure. Ever since I hit my head on that low-hanging beam, I have trouble counting past 4.
why did the arab language and identity spread to mesopotamia, syria, egypt, etc. yet not take over persia?
Because Islam and also Islam
>>1619757
Because it was developed in Mesopotamia as an administrative language based on the North Arabian dialect of the Umayyads based there for the bureaucratic elite that grew up within their households, while Persia was a more distant outpost manned instead by a distant Arab colony intermarrying with the locals to secure their status and power.
In other words the Arabs of Mesopotamia settled in segregated garrison towns, and when their half-Arab descendants or non-Arab adopted clients and slaves came to outnumber them, and when Yemeni Arabs began to flood the Imperial registers, the Umayyads began a systematic policy of defining who was an elite Arab and who was not, leading to everyone from North Africa to Iraq to begin to fashion themselves as Arabs in the same way people fashioned themselves Roman centuries earlier. The Arabs of Iran, who intermarried into local politics like most other invaders, didn't end up pushing Arabic language and culture as the gateway to the upper ranks.

Did King Arthur ever exist in any capacity? Is he just a fairy tale or is there any evidence he actually lived?
What is Breton folktale for 250, Alex.
What is Robert de Boron for 500, Alex.
He is probably a folktale who originates from stories sub-roman Britons told about their kings. Over time they merged into one guy
Arthur is a mythical hero of dying Romano-British culture fighting for its life against Germanic barbarians. He was supposed to represent the strength and unity real Celts lacked.
He was probably based on some notable Roman governor/commander prior to Saxon invasion.
So i understand that its the guy's job to ask out the girl, i get that. But how did we get to this in the first place?
Hear me out. Women are naturally wired different than men and one of these differences is that women are instinctively programmed to read body language subconsciously. This would generally make the asking out process easier as there are body language queues that show someone is/isnt open for a conversation/relationship. Males cannot do this and we have to actively study body language to understand it. Why, in light of instinctive ability to read people without realizing it, did it ever become a thing that men should take a shot in the dark?
Again I am not saying we should change this im just asking how we got here.
>>1619692
I guess with women's liberation, more experimentation came about
>>1619692
>So i understand that its the guy's job to ask out the girl, i get that. But how did we get to this in the first place?
A whole history of men taking the women they want and clearing it with the father first.
>>1619692
Asking out a girl requires an inherent degree of aggression
You're going from passive to active
And 80% of men were never meant to read female sexual cues
Many betas claim women are "hard to read" but the truth is they're not interested
