I view life in a detached way. By life I mean living organisms. On Earth strands of protein give rise to living organisms like on Jupiter anticyclonic storms give rise to great red spots. Life is simply a phenomenon like weather. There is no abstract reason for it.
Like local weather is shaped by complex weather systems our emotions and thoughts are just as mechanical.

Can someone explain me why the Arab nation identifies itself with the middle moon? Any historical fonts will be welcome.

It was first a Byzantine symbol, then when the Turks took over they started using it, then in the 20th century it became a symbol for Islam in general

/tg/ here. What were some of the major trade items between Britain and China going through the British East India Company during the early to mid 1600s? I need it for a game.

We know that ghosts did not exist, then why do we still fear them ? In a subconscious way. Like feared of staying overnight in an abandoned house, cemetery or the woods ?

Why didn't the Allies attack literally anywhere else but Normandy or Calais?
Everywhere else had minimal fortifications. Even if surprise was lost attacking the western coast of France, it would take awhile to bring in anything more than the immediate reserves.
Was getting paratroopers there the primary limitation?

Because the range from south of England to France is the shortest I think and best suitable for an invasion.
>>
>>1591884
Boats have long range though.
>>
>>1591876
It would have been infinitely easier from a logistics perspective, and the masterful deception tactics used in the leadup to the landings negated much of the advantage the Germans had in terms of fortifications.

If the Aboriginals colonized the Americas before the Siberians did, would the colonization of Europeans have failed?

Unless they have guns, horses and warships, the Europeans would probably still stomp them.

You are mistaking because you do not take into consideration the million of possible scenarios that could have happened. Idiot.
>>1591671
The Indians lost because of diseases not because of technology, see 1491 and 1493.
Aboriginals have a highly effective fire regime which could have changed the Americas. See the book "the biggest estate on earth".

Is there any scenario possible in which Britain or France helps a side directly in the US Civil War?
In fact, why wouldn't they? If Britain supported the South they'd cut one of their main competitors in half and get a loyal trade partner and maybe even some northern territory out of it.

Or maybe they won't.
Do you think major geopolitical decisions are made based simply on what the best possible outcomes could possibly be? Are you Adolf Hitler?

The Union Could never invade Britain. Worst outcome for Britain is neutral peace with no gains or losses. Why not?

Tell me about this shitfest /his/. I can't wrap my head around it. Also any information between 1490-1520's Europe would be a great help.
