why the fuck did napoleon marry a poor 32yo used goods slut with two kids
well mate he probably liked her
>>1571443
>with two kids
So that fertility is confirmed
Roman nobles PREFERRED to marry widows or divorced mothers with living kids
Child deaths were stupid high enough as is back then to marry woman who might end up barren and waste years of your life
>>1571452
she was barren and did waste years of his life tho
Men: Advancements in hunting, weaponry, clothing, architecture, mathematics, science, literature, art, etc. Also most of history is basically about men; the wars men fought in and the decisions made by men is a huge factor in the way we live life now.
Women: pussy, give birth. They literally did nothing while men went to the moon lol.

Women were the first programmers. Men didn't even program until a woman made a compiler to make programming easy.
Only because a man made the first programmable computer
>>1569350
I kind of like the phrase behind every great man is a great woman. While a lot of people (men) in history have done great things without a female, there area lot of cases where a woman helped encourage or support the man.
Some examples are Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne along with Justinian and Theodora.
The Roman Catholic position is not that the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father through the Son," it's that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son as "ONE PRINCIPLE". And you can see what that indicates in Latin: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/principium#Latin
Antiochian (the main Church for converts) form for converts: http://www.saintandrew.net/files/catechumen%20info/Catechumen_Renunciations_and_Affirmations_Form.pdf
>Part of the formal process of conversion is clearly identifying the heresies of one’s previous confession and renouncing them. Heresy is from the devil, and all Christians are called upon by God to hate with righteous hatred all heresy. Use the chart below to write down Orthodox doctrines and next to them the doctrines of your former confession which are heretical. Be thorough.

Hypo static Union does note an Our Savior's physical form was created theough anal sex.
Heresy comes from Satan, Constantine.

Huh?
Redpill me on the difference between Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodoxy
I kind of understand Catholicism vs Protestantism but I know L I T E R A L LY nothing about Orthodox
Do /his/torians think that some type of feudalism might work better for African peoples? Democracy doesn't really seem to work well for them. Whites and Asians had to go through a feudal period.
>>1572901
Feudalism is an economic system, democracy is a form of government. They belong in two different cathegories.
This is Liberia BTW
>>1572901
Democracy is actually doing better in Africa nowadays.
At one point in American history, Italian immigrants were considered comparable to black people. Italian immigrants were lynched and, in fact, they hold the "record" of most people of the same ethnicity lynched by a mob at once. Eleven Italians were unlawfully lynched by an angry mob down in New Orleans.
So I ask, why is it that the Italian American culture was able to develop into what it is today? Italian Americans have a significantly lower crime rate than African Americans (who hold the number one spot in nearly every violent crime), Italian culture is idolized in America, from Italian cuisine to cinema to their automobile industry.
Although Italians may never have been slaves, they still dealt with the oppression of the Jim Crow era. I'm curious as to the historical reasons as to why Italians were able to elevate above being an oppressed people while African-Americans could not.
>>1571727
Because they aren't actually niggers.
Some will say IQ, others because it's culture.
Frankly, I think you're oversimplifying things and downplaying slavery. Could you REALLY compare wogs with niggers? Majority of blacks came out of slavery and spread across the US, they had absolutely no cultural foundation to hold onto. Italians came from a place with already established knowledge and were clustered afaik in specific spots so that sort of hegemony and cultural comprehension could have helped maintain order.
>>1571727
I mean, it's not news that we're the best nationality in the world: open, charismatic, outgoing, charming, with a millennia long culture of civility, annd naturally versed in diplomacy.

Did Noah's Ark actually happen or is it a metaphor?
It happened. I was there.

How about neither
It's a metaphor unless we find evidence it existed, in which case I always believed it existed.
Literally everywhere their ideology has been tried it has failed.
Is this due to the fact Capitalism is based on Mathematics and evidence whereas Communism is based upon critical theory which make Capitalism far more open to scrutiny and people who attack Communism can be dismissed due to the fact 'it hasn't really been achieved'?
Isn't this just fallacious? So until Communism actually works its not actually Communism because if Communism fails it's the fault of the individual not the ideology but somehow it's okay to attack Capitalism because of the ideology?
How can you rationally be a Communist after so many famines? You have to be literally brain damaged.
>>1568227
if you follow communism through to its theoretical ends, purely, ideal realised, you'll be the only one left standing, everyone else will be dead.

Literally nobody who isn't autistic or trolling is a communist any more.

Also a pack of positivists and should be kept from history at all costs.
Of course there's Civ VI coming out, but what are some other history related video games recently released or coming out shortly?

Eh, eu4 is difficult only while you're learning the mechanics, once you learn how things work the game gets way too easy
Did aliens plant six seeds of civilization to see what would happen and who would come on top?

If they did they were unusually stupid aliums, because Mesopotamia is clearly the best situated and the New World civs were doomed from the start.
Can western civilization be considered an extension of Mesopotamian civilization?

Neolithic Europeans discovered writing before Sumerians around 6000 bc:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C4%83rt%C4%83ria_tablets
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vin%C4%8Da_symbols
Because they didn't. Did you read the article you linked?
>>1567639
>The Tărtăria tablets are three tablets, discovered in 1961 by archaeologist Nicolae Vlassa at a Neolithic site in the village of Tărtăria (about 30 km (19 mi) from Alba Iulia), in Romania.[1] The tablets, dated to around 5300 BC,[2] bear incised symbols—the Vinča symbols—and have been the subject of considerable controversy among archaeologists, some of whom claim that the symbols represent the earliest known form of writing in the world.
kek you are in denial baby
That's not what my university history professor taught me which I spent over $50,000 on Learning so you must be incorrect. Trust me, I know these things, I visit /his/ regularly.
