Build a wall.

No, seriously. When China had a strong military and actually controlled the area that the great wall was located in, it was almost impossible for horsenignogs to get past.

A free-stater pro-treaty blueshirt Cumann na nGaedheal member professor and corporatist was teaching a class on Michael Collins, a known big fella.

"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Collins and accept that he was the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than the heroes of 1916!"

At this moment, a brave, patriotic, anti-treaty IRA champion who had fought in 10 different flying columns and understood the necessity of physical force republicanism and fully supported all military decisions made by De Valera stood up and held up a treaty.

"What does this treaty give us?"

The arrogant professor smirked quite West Britishly and smugly replied "the freedom to achieve freedom, you stupid Irregular"

"Wrong. It’s been 1 year since Lloyd-George created it. If it gave us this freedom and constitutional nationalism, as you say, is real… then Ireland should be a republic now"

The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of The Celtic Twilight. He stormed out of the room crying those free-stater crocodile tears. The same tears free-staters cry for the "casualties of war" (which could never make a republic not a worthy cause) when they jealously try to claw justly earned glory from the deserving De Valera. There is no doubt that at this point our professor wished he had voted against the treaty and become more than a swaddler traitor professor. He wished so much that he had an anti-treaty IRA squad to summarily execute him and spare embarrassment, but he himself had fought against them!
>>
The students applauded and became Republicans that day and accepted Patrick Pearse as their lord and savior. An eagle named "Irish Republic" flew into the room and perched atop the Starry Plough and shed a tear on the chalk. Amhrán na bhFiann was read several times, and Wolfe Tone himself showed up and enacted a Republic of Ireland act across the country.

The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of RUC brutality and was tossed into Connacht for all eternity.

If the Nazis won would this be the actual borders of Germany itself or is this just more like their plan for a Germanic alliance? They wouldn't actually make the Dutch and Scandinavians be in Germany would they?

Honestly?

Probably Alsace-Lorraine, Poland, Denmark, Austria, Hungary, Poland and West Russia. No clue what they planned to do with the rest of russia.

That's actually what Greater Polish Reich would've looked like if they started a European conquest and won.
>>
>>1516441
I'm fairly certain Germany would have only integrated these cultures into the Reich. Sort of like how Czechs were considered citizens of the Reich. The Scandinavians, Dutch, and Baltics would have most likely be integrated: their culture preserved but their nationality German. Sort of like a centralised HRE.

Regarding Poland and the Slavs, they would have been given their own states and be puppeted. The Polish State would form out of General Government territory and the Russians and other Slavs would occupy Reichskommisariat Moscow.

I honestly don't believe in Generalplan Ost, though. The Holocaust was real, but it wasn't as massive as sources claim.

How old were people getting, /his/?

Did the switch from being hunter-gatherers to farming have any major impact on life expectancy?

The ancient Roman and Greek philosophers are often portrayed with white or gray hair and/or thick beards. How common was this among society to have such old people? Would it be uncommon to see real old dudes?

Were people aware of what age most people passed on average?

Be more specific.

Life expectancy back then may have been skewed by low infant mortality. Otherwise I don't think people (who survived childhood) could expect to see their 60s.
>>
>>1516419
Would people even be able to reach that age? Or was just the average peasant that died at about 40?

How do you cope with the fact that everything is phony (inb4 dismissed for being like Holden)?

Literary theory is bs made up so that people can leech off of academia and get easy degrees.

Social scientists are idiots and weaponised by dishonest journalists as the new secular prophets telling people what to think / why they're shit.

Morality is never practised. A politician who kills innocent people is more popular than one who says politically incorrect things.

So many current novels are merely narcissistic barely disguised memoirs or written by people with zero life experience.

Science and maths are practised mostly within hideously subsidised and bloated academic institutions.

Sex and portrayals of success are shoved in your face wherever you go through songs and pictures. But you're not allowed to say you want any of it.

90+ % of jobs could be done by everyone and only recruit based on looks and personality.

Literature is not an oasis, not one bit.

Accept the fact that humans are base animals, including you. Oh but you are special right? Wrong. A man that murders someone was actually a great guy right up until he murdered someone. So it is with you... you too could do evil if the circumstances were just right. And. Evil person might not be evil if there lives had been just slightly different. Humans are what we are. If you want to change things, become a genetic scientist.

I am truly curious.

Why did Hitler betray the U.S.S.R. while they were STILL fighting on the West Front?

I know they viewed the Slavs as Untermensch and such, but did Hitler learn nothing from the Schlieffen plan? He was in WWI for God's sake.

Hitler assumed stalin would stab him in the back and attack him. He wouldn´t have commited major forces against the western allies after the fall of france. Also: Where would he have attacked them? The africa corps couldn´t have been much bigger due to logistics and sea lion was a pipe dream from the start.
>>
>>1515863

Thing was, Germany needed oil badly and since German occcupied territories only had coal, Hitler knew he needed to get access to the rich oil fields of the Caucasus and middle east in order to fight on the long run.
>>
>>1515863
Hitler was the type of man that would rather strike first and lose, then get stabbed in the back later on. Even if that wasn't for certain, it was too risky. The USSR would have been absolutely crushed if not for lend lease, though.

Why didn't NATO intervene during the Indian invasion of Goa?
39 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
>>1515802
Although Portugal insisted that Goa was actually a proper part of her and not just a colony colonialism was becoming increasingly unpopular and so the NATO just looked away to not worsen the relationships with India for backing up a ideology they themselves didn't support
>>
>>1515802

NATO isn't meant for doing international intervention. To put it simply, NATO is an agreement that says "let's work together, train together, and when the filthy reds come we fuck them up together", and was designed as an assurance to the European nations that the yankees had their back.

Even nowadays it isn't used like that. Most foreign interventions that are sometimes referred to as NATO interventions (afghanistan, Lybia) are simply wars with the different NATO countries allied to each other, but these conflicts are separate from the treaty.
