Why did the British stop caring about their empire and let it all fall to shit?

What kind global superpower voluntarily surrenders all of its territory, resources and influence?

Isn't one of the characters supposed to be all the way from China

>>1445382
Accurate? Nope.

>>1445384
I think that character is a slave I guess it's technically possible if highly unlikely for a Chinese person to end up in Europe through trading routes.

I thought this would be a King Crimson thread

>>1449262
I am by no means learned, but the idea of a person groomed their entire life to rule, who has been instilled with a sense of responsibility, appeals more to me than a council of greedy bumblefucks only in it for the cash or to spread their own ideology, completely ignoring the long-term effects of their actions.

>>1449285
I mean, I know it's not as black and white as that. But still.

We'd probably be at the level of about the 1970s.

>>1452803
I'd imagine technology in 2016 would be closer to that picture than what we actually have in 2016. WW2 was the reason the first rocket and computer were invented. Obviously the horse would still get completely replaced by the car and there would probably be large propeller passenger aircraft. The first jet plane was flown by the Nazis shortly before WW2 but without the race to develop better planes in WW1 and without the Nazis who only existed because of WW1 the jet plane may not be invented. I wouldn't compare the technology in this alternate 2016 to any real decade because some things might develop equally fast and other things might be at the level of the 1930s.

>>1452803
No World Wars means no helium embargo on Germany, which means no hydrogen fire on the Hindenburg, which means that zeppelins would not have fallen out of favor so quickly. Winged passenger aircraft would be seen as an inefficient luxury for those who want to travel at great speed, not the only safe form of air travel.

Japan stopped using shields heavily about the same time as Europe.

>>1438527
Knights stopped using shields too

>>1438547
>>1438553
But Europeans didn't fully abandon shields and those who did tended to be in very good armour.

Are you after quantity or quality?

>>1444920
Absolutely not.

in terms of overall quantity you are kind of right depending on what armour you are regarding exactly however numbers alone do not represent the overall effectiveness of a nations armoured force.

if you where to ask: "what was the best tank" i would have to say a later derivative of the M4 Sherman. so in such a case the USA had the best tank.

Germany however had the best tank doctrine and deployed their tanks most effectively throughout the war until the gasoline shortages.

I see the joke you're trying to make but
>the Catholic Church not only never persecuted science, but is responsible for its extraordinary development in the West and for ending the Roman dark ages
>the Renaissance was a scientific dark age which interrupted the medieval scientific revolution, and all the common negative stereotypes about the Middle Ages, from witch burnings to poor hygiene, actually apply to the Renaissance (and to Protestants rather than Catholics)
>the Germans were clearly the bad guys in WW1, and the Versailles treaty wasn't too harsh but far too lenient
These are pretty mainstream academic positions

>>1442694
I don't know about academia, but they're definitely not popular positions. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people believe the exact opposite.

- All of Napoleon's wars were defensive

because they found balance

There's yet to be a successful socialist society.

Did you know there is a period of history where Aboriginal Australians actually FORGOT how to make fire?

No wonder they were considered fauna for so long

>>1450601
I doubt that, the dumb asses literally burnt down all their forests.
Truly more ape than human

>>1450601
That's not true. Early British reports speak of them starting fires in Tasmania.

>>1450590
Southeast Asia was originally filled with people like this, arguably southern mainland China was as well.

Aboriginal Australian, Southern Indians, Southeast Asia and Melanesia all had "black" people. Everyone else are invaders. Not even memeing.

But families with two married parents perform better than any other kind.

Shit's measurable yo.

The lower you are on the socio-economic totem pole, the less likely you are to have that.

The real question is how we get poor people to raise their fucking kids right. I have a number of cruel, mean spirited ideas.

>>1450113
Just kill yourself primitivist

>Greece
What?
I thought they were if not greeks then at least cousins or something, and didn't they fuck over egypt and hittites?

>>1448116
Because we don't know.

We just

don't

know

If you're interested in British middle-to-high-brow radio programming, "In Our Time" did a recent episode on the Bronze Age collapse discussing the Sea Peoples.

It's pretty great, but then every episode is great.

America's got a much larger population than any other western country, as well as a good police force that allows them to catch them. Plenty come out of places like China as well, though it never hits our news. The one with the highest body count (around 138 confirmed) is from Colombia, and many have been from other countries in the region. Just doesn't ever hit our news.


Also, 60's, 70's and 80's were a sweet spot where TV was popular enough for them to get the attention they needed, but before police started to be able to more successfully control what the media said and what information they got their hands on in these cases. These days you start throwing around juicy details and the station's likely to get hit with an obstruction of justice suit.

Also worth noting is that heaps of those people listed as serial killers are doing it in gang violence. It's still more than 3 and as such is serial murder, but they're not typical serial killers.

I think Bundy is endlessly fascinating. Most serial killers lose their mystique once you figure out how they tick and the forces that shaped them, but Bundy just gets more interesting the deeper you go

He was also qt
