Why did Prussia just pull out of France after their stunning victory in 1871? Why didn't they annex the damn place?

Probably because they knew there'd be reprisals from other nations if they attempted it. Better to just fuck France's shit up and go back to uniting the Germanic peoples.

Pure shit, as all old translations are. Read modern translations which don't translate "fucking" as "ravishing".

Talk about stuff that you're studying right now, ask questions, post pics of architecture and art that you like, even play a few /his/ related thread games, like that one where you go to the first random Wikipedia article that's related to /his/ and post it here

Anyone else have a fondness for that WW1 style of grim imagery?
It's so overbearingly dark & nihilistic. It's almost nightmarish. I can't get enough of it.

Carthage lost the last two wars, thus forever losing the ability to contest with Rome on something approaching an even footing, while still retaining enough wealth and a cultural identity to pose a threat, at least in the minds of the Roman senate.

I've been an Esoteric for a few months now ever since the eternal truth came to me. But now my mind is full of other questions, like how far can willpower go? If I've had a mystical experience, then surely I do have a spirit don't I?
I'd like to get some esoteric discussion going on, especially if any of you are trying magic.

The esoteric part of religion is a mess. I found it a long time back and stayed in that for 4 years.
I looked for something and could not find it. Nor will you, unless you achieve the honor to become a 33 degree freemason.

Hey guys, this is my first time on this board. In fact, I forgot that it even existed. I originally posted this on /pol/, but I was hoping that maybe if I posted it here, there would be less shitposting and dank memes.
Why does every country have a rectangular flag? Why are they all the exact same size and dimensions? How did this become a thing? Does anyone know the history of flags? Was this a thing that developed independently in all nations around the world.? I'm pretty sure that at least Japan used flags a long time ago before they had made contact with Europe. Did other civilizations as well? Did the modern rectangular style flag originate in Europe, or somewhere else?
What up with that?

It's literally a European thing.
To be specific: literally a late 18th Century European thing, which they carried with them during their colonializing sprees.
For many peoples, particularly in Asia, a flag was merely a signalling device. The State tended to be represented by other, culturally/religiously relevant symbols.
>>
>>1618719
But that isn't exactly true from what I understand. I have heard of there being flags in Iran and India thousands of years ago. Other civilizations came up with flags independently of Europe, I am almost positive of this.

Since when the banks started practicing usury and Why isn't anyone doing anything about it?
It's usually viewed as immoral in almost all religions,but you see bankers from all religions, why do people normally practice such an immoral act?

Protestantism.
The Vatican disapproved of usury. Jews were allowed because they weren't Christians.
>>
>>1618515
Because it's seen as a necessary evil to allow for the growth of economies. Usury is legally defined as more than 28.9% interest anyways.
>>
Because immoral or not, spending money you don't have permits you to do things you wouldn't normally be able to do, and people aren't going to lend money unless they get something out of it.

Hey /his/, tell me about Adiabene. Apparently their rulers converted to Judaism in the first century and donated large funds to the temple in Jerusalam. How the fuck did this happen? I thought the Khazars were the only state to have rulers that converted to Judaism. Did Judaism used to have quite a bit of strength the area of Armenia and the Caucasus Mountains? Could this have helped lead to Armenia to be the first state to adopt Christianity as its official religion?

Semi related, the first non Jewish people to convert to Judaism, the Solomonids, lived in Ethiopia. Ethiopians would later be the first state to adopt Christianity
>>
>>1618470
Monitoring this thread because I haven't heard about it.
Although no, Khazars weren't the only ones. The Himyar kingdom in modern Yemen converted in 3rd century AD.
Also quite a few tribes from Maghreb converted as well, even if it was ever on the state ruler level.
