What are the most noteworthy events to happen in this region for the past couple hundred years apart from Gulags and fur extortion of the locals?

About 47% of Lend-Lease by volume (if not necessarily value) went through Vladivostok.
>>3250126
Hmm. That seems pretty telling if that's what you think of besides what OP mentioned. I knew a kid from Vladivostok in Seattle, said it was depressing.

Christians opened the gates for barbarians to sack Rome.
>>3249971
King Alaric
What did he get right? Is any of his work worth studying?
>>3249897
He pretty much invented the way you think about human mind.
>>3249905
Explain.
>>3249897
The Subconscious
Talk Therapy
The importance of childhood experiences on the development of personality
The possibility that there's something more powerful than the rational mind motivating human beings
A century later, Australians rule the subcontinent, and Emus are an endangered spiecies. Do you still want to say the Emus won the War?
>>3249887
The strayans managed to restructure their forces after the massive defeat at Campion, much like the russians would do a decade later.
>>3249887
Why yes.
Yes we do wish to say that the Emus won.
Didn't they won both times?
>>3249978
Pyrrhic victories, it seems.
What's the best Nuremberg Trial movie?
>>3249862
Trial at Nuremberg

Don't you mean Judgment at Nuremberg with Spencer Tracy?
BBC did an okay drama-mentuary
Rudolf Hess was kooky
Post songs from history that you enjoyed. Starting off with my all time favorite:

Pic unrelated

>tfw the skippers have dutch and the mate's a jew
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9F7DDK9InU
Its a good song, but its a shame that the lyrics and the guitar don't quite match up near the middle.
andy warhol is genius

He was crazy I'll say that much
>>3249581
He knew things were going to shit, that's for sure
I dont know what pisses me off the most, that his shitposting was overbearingly ironic or that normies still take it unironically.
So, what civilizations that are lost to history do we somewhat know about? There have been many artifacts where archaeologists can't seem to pinpoint where it belonged to.
>>3249500
Thus thing from example, the Crispi collection, some strange monolith structures like the ones in Brazil and Ecuador.
The ruins of the polynesia and a lot more.
>>3249521
>Crispi collection
Fake...
>>3249521
The ruins of polynesia coincide with the chronicles of the Incas who sailed to Easter Island.
Trying to learn about Greek history, starting with no knowledge whatsoever. I'm watching some Yale lectures, but I'm wondering if there are better or different sources from which to establish a knowledge base.
>>3249372
Which Yale courses? If its Donald Kagan's, you've done well so far.
Homer, all of it. Seriously.
You can now move on to:
Herodotus-The Histories
Thucydides-History Of The Peloponnesian War
Xenophon-Hellenica
Xenophon-Anabasis
Plutarch-The Rise & Fall of Athens
Plutarch-Parallel Lives (now featuring Romans)
Plutarch-Life of Alexander
Quintus Curtius Rufus-Histories of Alexander
There are some other podcasts and lectures out there if you really are a lazy shithead. Theres a fat guy who did a Great Courses series called Famous Greeks that I remember enjoying. Donald Kagan and Victor Davis Hanson have some good stuff if you want contemporary authors.
>>3249790
This list of primary sources is a good place to start.
I was just going to say, buy a copy of the Landmark Herodotus. It has maps and plenty of notes, so it's accessible for a complete novice. Herodotus is also very entertaining.
Don't pay attention to any secondary sources, burn any modern text you encounter. Primary sources are the one true authority.
>>3249790
Yes actually those are the ones, I just got through with the Dark Ages section. Is it normal at all that I have trouble retaining a lot of what was said in them? I'm very new to this, and additionally it seemed to me that the section was not huge on specific events and details but more so as a setup for what is to come.
How would the world look differently if the U.S. of A had decided to join one of the coalitions against Napoleon?
I figure it'd have prevented the War of 1812, but what else?
>>3249313
I don't know.
>>3249313
Wrong pic.
why?
other than some misplaced sense of obligation to the House of Bourbon?
Napoleon was a benefit to the USA. He sold the US like a third of our current land mass.
Was it justified?
