Nothing. A useless country that is just 'there'. It should be a province of some large confederation.

Im from Guatemala. What do you want to know?

>Ubico
Fucking based. I would have loved to have him some 10 more years as a president. Would certainly be useful nowadays. Im pretty sure one of his long term goals was to annex the rest of Central America and make Guatemala great again.

He was a fascist dictator, although, believe it or not, two of his succesors were lefties and were some of the best presidents in Guatemala's history, just as Ubico.

>Castillo Armas
Useless faggot. He was just a puppet for the UFCO, FBI and American Government. No balls to deal with americans or to kill commies.

What do either have to do with racism?

>>1440552
evolution

creationism posits we're all equal in the eyes of god because he created us all equal and out of his image

evolution recognizes that different organisms develop different genetics and those differences in genetics can be seen as inferior or superior

These are the non-obvious ones that I know of, beyond History of Rome, History of Byzantium and Hardcore History.

I'd kill for something good on Iran, but the only one I've seen hasn't posted shit since 2015 and only posted two episodes that year, so I don't think that he's going to even bother with keeping it up.

The history of the English Language podcast. In depth as fuck

>>1440535
The History of Rome by Mike Duncan is probably the best podcast I've listened to. That said, it's pretty popular so I'd be surprised if you didn't already know of it.

but more important, why didn´t the red man tame the buffalo?

There is at least one example of heavily agrarian, urban settlement in pre-contact North America at Cahokia, which had at least 15,000 people at its peak, probably many more.

Since Cahokia is largely viewed as continuous with earlier mound-building cultures, and the descendants of the Cahokians populated vast regions of America at the time of contact (Mississippian culture), it seems that the story of Cahokia represents a critical moment in the history of North American Indians.

The reasons for its fall are complex but generally attributed to a period of severe flooding, an earthquake and deforestation.

One can imagine another universe where Cahokia was never abandoned and the entire history of North American indigenous peoples looks very different.

But my own opinion is that the Natives had a cultural, technological and ecological system of living which frankly worked for them; this is why the people who left Cahokia went back to the woods. They essentially flourished, and in a way pattern that was basically unique to America.

It involved low population distributions, villages dotting the country, seasonal migrations, the use of forest burning to increase game stocks, and a low intensity agriculture that provided squash, beans and corn. Their understanding of the world provided them with a full context of meaning for these activities.

There seems to be a widespread assumption among westerners that civilization is meant to follow a specific template characterized by technological progress, population growth, urbanization, writing-based culture, animal husbandry etc.

We tend to think of hunter-gatherer / nomadic life as being harsh, greatly unpleasant and meager. This is simply not the case.

I think, instead, that once a people has made the transition into an urban, settled form of life, that this kind of evolution becomes possible and sometimes carries out. History as we think of it is born and human life gets carried away through its tectonic motions.

Seeing as how Karl the Great was 100% purely Germanic, I would have to say it was Germanic efficiency and Ordnung.

Feudalism.

So thats why you need a Latin root?

It however doesn't require a leap of faith to know that you're an incredible faggot

>Yet fedorafags think they can know if there is a god or not.
Most atheists are also agnostic, for the hundred billionth time. No, casually claiming "there's no god lol" doesn't mean they're actually gnostic.

>>1440358
romans certainly thought it was better to kill yourself than be executed or captured by the enemy.

>>1440358
No.

A lot of honor based societies did. Rome and China for instance.

Suicide is underrated - we'll all die anyway but with suicide you can choose your own way of dying.

You mean seemingly evenly matched? Because the French were outclassed in every way during the Franco-Prussian War aside from having good rifles. The Germans in WWI also had way more artillery than their opponents.

>>1440334
The French destroed the prussians in navy. Had they concentrated their artillery on defense in the north and made naval landings in northern Prussia to quickly capture their manufacturing bases, they could've won.

In WW1, Germany was destroyed in manpower but compensated with their fantastic technology and manufacturing. Russians were a literal meme in ww1.

Of course, the enemy is massing on the Rhine but let's make a MASSIVE detour to quickly capture manufacturies in hopes they run out of supplies a stone's throw away from Paris... because there totally aren't any factories in the Rhineland or anything.

Toyotomi was a nigger

>Ay shit, I rose from peasantry to be the taiko through military, better outlaw peasant soldiers and carrying weapons so no one else can repeat what I did and my wife's son can rule forever, let's invade Korea hey and then the Ming ;^)

>Japan btfo?

Probably. And they were very aware of this fact, the Spanish presence in the Philippines was one of the major reasons behing the Sakoku.

>>1440320
Japan was backwards and too easily divided at the time. Sure they would be able to shit out troops initially but then they'd lose battles without cannons and their forts being utter shit. And then the clans would just say fuck it and revolt on Toyotomi or Tokugawa.

Which one of two contradicting version, the one going though Joseph despite he isn't Jesus' father? No, it's not reliable.

>>1440238
No.

>>1440238

Lol no. Ignore the order the books of the NT are typically printed in, the earliest part is actually the letters of Paul, the Gospels were written much later and are essentially fanfic

In a very strict authoritative state with no human rights, ya its possible.

some things require world governance, like cleaning up ocean garbage islands and such, but a global authority? not yet

>>1440171
Though I do like the idea of being able to make sure China keeps their hands of the south China sea, and making sure Israel doesn't colonize the Palestinians out of existence I'm not sure if a world police is a good idea.

Apart from the fact that I don't think it's possible to create a entity out of thin air which is strong enough to be a threat to national governments, should we want to? Who would the world police have to answer to? How could we make sure that the world police doesn't abuse it's power, and starts bothering with things it was not meant to get into?

You realize all human skulls are ape skulls, yes?

Yes, I know full well that humans are a species of ape. I was meaning by the archaic definition of the word (ex. a knuckle-walking, tree-climbing animal).

>>1440120
>>1440161
Skeletal structure is useful in some cases but it can't determine how "removed" we are from our cousin species on its own. All humans are equally removed from the other apes, we've just evolved slightly differently from each other.

Believe me when I tell you that the allies were just as bad if not worse than the Japanese.

Most of it is old allied propaganda that have become pseudo-fact and so isn't true (Most of the stuff you hear of them doing in china never happened) Whereas the allies never speak of their great many crimes because a winner does not have to answer to anyone.
