Hasekura Tsunenaga was sent in the early 17th Century.

Thanks famalam

But wouldn't the 17th century have been the beginning of the Tokugawa and their isolation/stagnation?

If you aren't a great orator you can't lead a populist movement.

>fascists such great orators

Disagree.

>>1455766
I feel that they have to be - the movement can't function without the support of the nation's people. It cannot exist without their fervor and inspiration for something new and better.

>Would Maryland secede
Probably not. The voting was by no means certain when the Feds shut down the Maryland legislature.

Only places like Baltimore and the more Southern parts of Maryland were pro-Secession. Most of the State was apathetic or outright pro-Union.

That being said, I think more fighting would have occurred in Maryland than Northern Virginia.

I also suspect that Philadelphia being the capital would have been a good thing for the Confederacy as it would give them a lot more room to maneuver and Northern Virginia/The Shenandoah valley would be practically intact and able to supply the Army of Northern Virginia more easily.

On the other hand, the Peninsula campaign may never have happened leaving RE Lee in obscurity, whatever battle takes the place of Bull Run might not have been favorable to the South, and Jackson might not have been launched into fame.

Ultimately there are too many what-ifs in this scenario. My gut feeling is that a Union capital in Philly would have overall been a good thing for the South as long as they could win a number of early victories in Maryland.

Plus they would be able to actually defend the Potomac line.

Check out the China Construction Kit by Mark Rosenfelder, it's pretty much exactly what you're looking for.

>>1455679
I will. Thanks.

>>1455677
Not going to be that helpful if you're aiming for a traditional aesthetic as suggested by your attached picture but I found Kissinger's 'On China' immensely interesting and his opening chapter on Chinese culture and proposition as to why Mao's attempt to destroy Chinese culture was just an exercising of Chinese culture unto itself in a reform that is so periodic, and that the modern CCP has the mandate of heaven, the cultural concept Mao had tried to abolish

Now go sit in the corner and think about what you've done.

Did that fictional movie hurt your feelings a lot?

>Any historical truth to this or is it just Hollywood lore?
Yes, there is evidence (from healed injuries, and signs of age related conditions like osteoporosis) that both neanderthals and modern humans would care for disabled or infirm members of their group.

>>1455561
I think he meant that neanderthals blinded and crippled women to use them as sex toys and to make children

Well, the true figure is something like 5% of Asian men and .5% of the world's population can claim lineage to Genghis...or his brothers.

It's still impressive, but it's not the 5% of everyone ever that you hear.

Not me though, his army got rekt in my country. I'm a Viet

Essentially the final empire and most important contributor to the history of humanity developed modern democracy and spread it about the world and then voluntarily disbanded itself.

It's just name stygma. Brazil "empire" was way more democratic than all other south american "republics

>>1455358

No. The exact definition of an 'empire' is obviously up for debate. However there seems a general recognition among the world community that nations have a right to self determination so you see a lot less countries attempting to invade and conquer each other for the purposes on building an empire. It's not just stigma over the name.

World wars famm

>>1455247
Those look really cool, never seen them before. Are there any of more recent wars?

Sick, have a bump.

Unless im missing something its a pretty weak "collection"

The middle ages one has 4 books in it.

Are there any other collections out there? There are ones on TPB but there arent any seeders.

It's pop history written by a Muslim trying to defend Mohammed by saying Christ was a bloodthirsty warmonger.

The history of Christ is heavily, *HEAVILY* speculative. You cannot read an "objective" account, you can only read ones arguing from different sides. If you want the side saying Christ wasn't God, your best source is Bart Ehrman. If you want the source saying Christ is God, try William Lane Craig (his work on the historicity of Christ is actually very scholarly, even if his popular work is awful).

Don't read those kinds of books if you want history. They're not history books.

It could potentially be a game changer. Assange has is eyes on the future and is quite deliberately trying to achieve his vision of open information.

The key observation is that power relies on internal communication of confidential information that differs from the public communication.

WikiLeaks basically undermines public relations and state secrecy while holding high status individuals accountable for misleading the public.

Oh and I think it's a great thing since power constantly misleads the public to achieve immoral objectives.

If there had been a perfect communication of information to the public in 2003, we would have never had Iraq.

The wildcards are as follows:

1. The scope and significance of leaks correlates to the increase of security (individual prosecution or government apparatus extension). How far will the government go to prevent leaks?

2. What are the technological limitations of security and encryption? Can non-government groups like WikiLeaks compete with government and corporate security in the long run?

3. Even if compelling evidence for alternative narratives to government activity are formed from leaked information, will the mainstream press act to undermine these or communicate them beyond academic/specialist circles?
