What also annoyed me was the fact they turned the room with the Black Sun mosaic into some sort of hug box. I had to move the bean bag chairs out of the way to even see the thing.

>stalin was evil

More die to disease and hunger than battle apparently, but i always find it hard to fully believe that. I find it hard to believe any soldier would stay in an army which was dropping like flies, nor would it be able to effectively function.

WW1 was pretty much the first major war where combat killed more people than disease

Why didn't he conquer America? Those fucks didn't even have civilization back then.

Macedonian phalanx would have totally rolfstomped them dood.

they did call crusades&christian coalitions many many times against the ottoman empire though
in fact most crusades were called against turks.

for example byzantines were actually helped by crusaders many times against the turkish empires/states. against the ottomans they were helped by crısaders in 1396 and 1444 which pushed back the capture of constantinople more than 50 years.

just as similarly the germans/hungarians got help from christian allies against the growing ottoman threat. one of the largest campaigns against the ottomans was the great turkish war, which started the empires long decline.
it was fought between the ottoman empire&vassals versus holy roman empire+polish-lithuania+russia+hungary+venice+spain+a bunch of smaller states and christian rebel factions of all kinds

Because Pagans were free people and society needs a cucks to function.

Because organised monotheisms are far more effective unifying forces

Joseph de Maistre. He warned Alexander I. that if the Russian tzar by being a fool liberated the serfs and got them educated, entire Russia would become a giant slaughterhouse glorifying total terror and the royal family would end up killed. 100 years later it fucking happened.

That guy who told surgeons to wash hands.

Not sure why it uploaded sideways, that's unfortunate. If you don't want to crane your neck, left-to-right top to bottom,

1. The Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle
2. Nietzsche, Beyond Good&Evil (I have never read Nietzsche and this is all they had so I just grabbed it)
3. Meditations on First Philosophy, Descartes
4. Bismarck and the German Empire, Erich Eyck
5. Frederick The Great, Nancy Mitford

$27 ain't shit, so probably a good purchase

Okay fuck it one last bump for what I should read first, no responses I'm just going with descartes because it's the shortest.

From what I remember, banks use what's purchased as collateral on the loans, so when you take a loan, you set a time to pay it off by or they take what you bought with it.

Ironically, Islamic economies quickly became the closest thing to capitalism until the 18th century or so, what with the all trade ventures, entrepreneurship, enormous markets, economic philosophy, powerful financial instruments and practices etc.

Usury was banned in Medieval Christian Europe for a time too.

Monarchies naturally emerged from the barbarian chiefdoms.
The Italian peninsula was more used to urban life and civilization so republics and other classic forms of government flourished.

monarchies are generally produced from less advanced societies (PRODUCED. they don't necessarily have to move on, but that is where they come from) because it is less complicated and more efficient (especially in war) than a complicated democracy/republic. hence why rome had consuls and wartime dictators.

>>1560161
I feel like Christianity would have something to do with. Stuff like Charlemagne and other European kings being blessed by the pope. A single monarch could probably act out gods will better then a group of people who have checks and balances against each other.

No. Fairness isn't unfair in an unfair world, it's defined as fair. So being fair is fair, and it's good.

What a dumb thread. I wish /his/ was just history, most humanities threads are just adolescent nonsense like this.

We know about a lot of Roman banter through their graffiti.
