What would the world look like if he never existed?
Not much different. The Balkans just gave the spark that ignited the powder keg that was 1910's Europe
There were other members of black hand, I'm sure some Serbian douchebag would've found a way to drag the Habsburgs and Romanovs to war.
Not to mention Russia was looking for any possible excuse.
Anymore like this?

That's actually really cool, thanks. Anymore Violin stuff? I want to keep it aligned with history though, thanks.
I know a lot of cult members are born into their religion, but why don't a lot of them even to want to go out?
JW is probably the worst among them. They write books so that their members don't REALLY read the Bible. Is this the same for Mormons and Seventh-Day Adventists?
Are there any JW around here? What do you guys think of your belief then and now?
>>1536267
All cults are religions all religions are cults.
>>1536267
they read the bible, there is just a very strict way that they can interpret it. how is this radically different than how you will be branded a heretic if you are openly against the trinity?

It's easy to prey upon society, and take your personal failures out on other people.
It's harder to move on after making mistakes, and continuously rededicate yourself to making the world a better place.

What the hell is a "tactical war"?
Tactical as in mistakes from both sides on in terms of tactics would cost them hugely.
Whereas tactical mistakes on the Eastern front were pretty much a non issue.
The Wehrmacht could encircle and destroy 10 divisions without a problem, however it would mean nothing.
By contrast, the Allies could encircle 10 divisions and the entire German front would be in jeopardy.
>>1536202
Are you stupid, or just extremely ignorant?
First off, what you're describing are operational mistakes in the sense of getting divisional formations encircled and destroyed.
Tactics is even smaller scale than that, and tactical mistakes is what led to a force that only had about a 1.3:1 numerical advantage and gross inferiority in things like tanks and planes completely obliterate their opponents and advance almost 700 kilometers in the space of a few months along a front that was over 1,500 km long. In fact, the only reason that the entire Eastern Front wasn't the USSR simply squishing the Germans was the enormous tactical disparity between the Wehrmacht and the Red army.
Are you trying to say that the Eastern Front was bigger than the Western Front in WW2? I don't think you'll find too many that would disagree with you. But throwing around a term like "Tactical war" just makes you look like you're drinking bleach.
what up /his/
I will be attending a conferance in Germany about the culture of both western and eastern europe, and about people, organizations or ideas that helped connect these two worlds together.
I was wandering if anyone was willing to help me out a bit. I'll most likely be asked to present some research on the topic, I was thinking something about Benjamin Walter and his travels, but I feel like this is terribly unoriginal.
Any help would be appreciated.
>>1536175
Definitely do a presentation about Benjamin Walter. It will go over very well
>>1536180
Well it's either that or Hoover Institute.
I just think that so much has been said regarding Benjamin Walter that the little research I can do alone is a bit unneccessary. Nonetheless, thanks for your input.
don't do Benjamin Walter
I have a feeling something would go horribly wrong
>1066: England is conquered by an army of French-speaking Normans
>1169: Ireland is conquered by the descendants of same
Were the conquerors of Ireland French speaking? Would they have seen themselves as culturally French/Norman, or had they already assimilated into English culture by this time?
>>1536135
REEEEEEEEEE NORMANS GET OUT
>or had they already assimilated into English culture by this time?
No, several words in Irish are from French (for example garsún, boy), and it was still the language of the aristocracy and courts in England well into the 14th/15th century.
>>1536135
>Were the conquerors of Ireland French speaking?
Yes.
> Would they have seen themselves as culturally French/Norman, or had they already assimilated into English culture by this time?
The British aristocracy STILL considers itself to be Norman.
The Norman descendants never fully conquered Ireland, they actually became "more Irish than the Irish" which made Henry VII replace them at that point England fully conquered Ireland
Is social democracy fascism?
Yes
Colin Jenkins provides (2014) a critique on the role of the capitalist state in the era of neoliberalism, using base and superstructure theory as well as the work of Nicos Poulantzas. Specifically, regarding developments in the United States during this era (roughly 1980-2015), Jenkins highlights the nature in which political parties and the political system itself are inherently designed to protect the economic base of capitalism and, in doing so, have become "increasingly centralized, coordinated, and synchronized over the past half-century." This, according to Jenkins, has led to a "corporate-fascistic state of being" that is challenging the equilibrium of this fragile relationship. His analysis specifically addresses the role of both major parties, Democrats and Republicans, in the United States:
It reminds us of John Dewey's claim that, 'As long as politics is the shadow cast on society by big business, the attenuation of the shadow will not change the substance.' In the US, the two-party political system has proven extremely effective in this regard. Aside from differences on social issues like abortion and gay marriage, as well as socioeconomic issues like unemployment insurance and public assistance, both parties ultimately embrace capitalist/corporatist interests in that they both serve as facilitators for the dominant classes: The Republican Party in its role as forerunner, pushing the limits of the capitalist model to the brink of fascism; and the Democratic Party in its role as governor, providing intermittent degrees of slack and pull against this inevitable move towards a 'corporate-fascistic state of being.

Was Muhammad just a Jew with some of his own beliefs? Because Islam just seems like Judaism with Christianity sprinkled on top.
The parallels between the two religions is pretty big.
The monotheistic religion of the Jews inspired many imitators, the most successful of which would claim to be a continuation of their religion
>>1536066
He tried to pass himself off as a Jewish prophet in the line of the OT prophets, but he failed to answer the questions the Jews had to determine between real prophets and false prophets, and this humiliation is why the Koran is so vehemently anti-Jew. But yes despite this his teachings were still basically a garbled and mangled version of Judaism, he wasn't a very creative or original thinker and he pretty much just repeated the stories he'd learned from the Jews to the best of his ability. This impressed his tribe but didn't fool the Jews for a moment.
>>1536104
What are the questions?
Will need to know if I'm approached by a presumptive Jewish prophet and need to test him
I argue that constitutional monarchies aren't actual monarchies, because in such forms of government, the power really lies with the elected officials.
Discuss.
>>1536024
>HURR
>>1536024
>elected officials
>implying implications
A constitutional monarchy is a monarchy where the powers of the king are constrained by a constitution. Where do elected officials figure in this situation? They're completely optional to the concept.
>>1536103
Take the UK and Holland for example. The monarchs hold a symbolic position while the actual power rests with the parliament.
I've been reading three books recently, Livy's early history of Rome, The 12 Caesars, and The Jewish War. The weird thing is, while the last book doesn't touch on it much, the other two do not paint the republic in a way that seems to indicate a real "Republic". The way Rome seems to have been structured was as a huge bureaucracy of the elite of society, with some smaller positions going to the slightly less affluent of society. More a centrally managed system, than anything else.
it was still a republic in its base form, with democratically elected legislative assemblies.
the senate fluctuated in its actual power over Rome, with it starting out very weak and at the mercy of consul's and the assemblies, more power being brought to the Senate as the republic expanded during the Punic and Macedonian wars, and finally back to decline after the attempted reforms of the Gracchus brothers.
but in the sense that they were elected officials who represented the will of their constituents in government, it was indeed a republic.
>>1536001
But in its early forms, it didn't seem to be elected by anyone but itself, the prerequisite for being a senator making them equivalent to modern multi-millionaires. Do you have any recommended reading for this?
A republic is anything that isn't a hereditary monarchy kingdom.
Are people who know history elite?

Padre how can I better serve my Muslim overlords? If I have a 6 year-old daughter like sweet Aisha, should I give her hand in marriage to a Muslim refugee?

You are welcome here. Christianity has contributed much to both history and the humanities.
