Who are the current peoples residing in Italy, are they the descendants of roman tribes, or are they mainly descended from a mixture of Germanic tribes like the Ostrogoths and Visigoths.

Native populations with some germanic mixed in more in the north I'd imagine with added greek and saracen and norman elements in the south I guess

But despite the language and culture changing over time, I'd say they're still genetically mostly the same people they were since before Roman unification of the peninsula
>>
The funny thing aout the people who ask if Italians are the same people who lived in Italy during the Roman Empire, is that the Roman Empire was the time period in which Italy received the most people from all over the world.

The core is Roman/Italic with some sprinkling of Germanic, Arabic and maybe Celtic blood depending on where you go.

Because maintaining the Kemalist ideal of a secular republic in a country inhabited mainly by illiterates from the Anatolian steppe is very difficult to do otherwise.

Think of the military as a shock collar that activates whenever the dog leaves the lawn.

How come Chinese dynasties never invaded Khmer, Siam, etc? I only know of the Sino-Burmese War. How come the Chinese dynasties only picked on the Vietnamese?

Also, how come the Chinese dynasties never invaded Japan?

There are mountains in the way.
There's water in the way.

But really, they just didn't care. China was rarely interested in expanding (except under the Yuan) and when they were they were usually just dealing with their immediate neighbors like Korea and Vietnam or securing trade routes. They were interested primarily in their own civilization, and when they did get involved in far away places it was generally related to trade in the Silk Road and the Indian Ocean, not in the irrelevant islands of Japan or the Indochinese kingdoms. Japan and Indochina were both great civilizations, but they weren't of any real economic or political importance to the Chinese.

Interesting points. I didn't realize just how mountainous Southeast Asia actually is till looking at a map just now. Looks like there's a mountain range that divides Vietnam from Siam/Cambo to the West, and Laos provides a mountainous border that separates China from Thailand. Holy shit Laos is freaking mountainous

what does /his/ think about the evil god challenge ?

if we are argueing about the existence of a god in general thats not associated with a particular religion one could argue that all the common arguments ( the cosmological argument the fine tuning argument the moral argument etc ) can be equally explained by a totally evil god

the good things in the world could be explained away by stating that good is necessary for some of the worst evils like injustice inequality and jelousy

so if the theist would dismiss this notion of an all evil god would, according to the argument , also have to dismiss the allegedly equal claim of the existence of an all-good god

also general thread about arguments for atheism

>an all-powerful entity of absolute evil created beauty and joy

Nah.
>>
>>1418426
Beauty only exists to contextualize omnipresent ugliness. Joy only exists to make despair feel worse.
>>
>>1418412

If you are an Augustinian then evil is just a privation and lack of good. And goodness= being. Evil is simply the falling short of something from its full potential. An "evil" God makes no sense, because God lacks nothing.

Read Goldsworthy's bios of Augustus for full details.

Lepidus was pushed aside , and the struggle between the western oriented Octavianus, and the Eastern oriented Marcus Antonius, devolved into another Roman Civil War.

Octavianus and Marcus Agrppa won a decisive victory at Active.

Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra committed suicide.

Octavianus was Master of the World.

watch rome to know

I know the Buddha said that those aspiring to achieve paranirvana should not concern themselves with the Acinteyya (the Four Imponderables and the Ten Indeterminate Questions), since these were a hindrance to the attainment of liberation.

However, within the framework of Buddhist cosmology, did the Buddha himself find the answer to these questions once he became Enlightened?

Yes. It's like doing any psychedelic drug for the first time. You can ponder about how it will be but all that pondering is wrong and a waste of time, which will be realized after taking the drug. The imponderables are the same. Attain nibbana and you'll see what you'll see. Any useless conjecture until then is harmful to your practice.
>>
Yes, it wasn't that the Buddha didn't know, but that the answers were incommunicable
>>
So does the Buddha become omniscient when he attains Buddha-hood?

Why can Argentina not economy and democracy?

Even during their "prime" (1800-1914) they were causing economic crises and for a time they were changing military dictators every few months

They got nigger rich off of exports and failed to do anything with the money.

Then the fighting between the aristocracy and the commies proceeded to ruin them for the next century.
>>
>>1418215
Because Latin Americans are not psychologically fit for democracy.
>>
>>1418220


the main problem of Argentina is that it is a "special" society, a Latin American country that had 1.7 million inhabitants around 1860, and received 5 million European immigrants (mainly Spaniards and Italians, but a fifth were from the rest of Europe) from 1880 to World War 2.

It is neither a typical latin american country, nor a Canada-Australia style country, and you always end up with a society very divided, not on racial lines, but on political lines, mainly between those who like modern republican democracies like those of the first world, and those who like Peron style populism, which is a mixture of Italian fascism with latin american caudillismo (carismatic leaders).

It is hard to explain to foreigners, the closest thing in America to Peron would be the Union leader Jimmy Hoffa. Unions are very powerful in Argentina, they are Peronists, and it is pure corporatism.
All non peronist governments (if you exclude dictatorships) since the 30s were ousted from power before time.

If you look at the real gdp per capita Argentina and Canada graphic posted by OP, it is Peronism in the 40s what derailed Argentina.

As an eurofag, what surprises me the most is that there was only one civil war until now in the US. I find so impressive that such a big country kept it together.
If we look i.e. at Japan, a much smaller country had tons of civil wars until the Edo period.

Japan has also been around much longer than the US, and the US has existed in the most stable eras of history.

Would the European powers have been able to re-consolidate control over their empires if WW2 never happened?

Would Imperialism have fallen so far out of style if the Nazi's hadn't taken it to such extremes?

This is honestly the best question I've seen on /his/ in a while

The anticolonial backlash was not tied to the rise of Nazism.
>>
They were always going to transition to a multinational, corporate, IMF, World Bank kind of generalized control over the colonized parts of the world.

No European power wanted to spend money on colonized peoples like they did on citizens, so even the colonies that voted to stay in Empires, the idea being that they would be citizens now, they were often told they could not stay.

Why did technology develop at a faster pace during the 1930s than the 20s? Shouldn't the depression have made the opposite true? If you look at trains, planes, and cars from the beginning and end of both decades much more progress seems to have been made in the 30s.

True. The reality is that Dr Morell was using Hitler as an experiment for his crazy drug cocktails that fucked up his mental capacities.
His medical diaries are available and he pretty much was injecting on Hitler's body all sorts of poisons.

Can we have a thread devoted to "retro-future": also known as what people in the past thought the future would be like?

Are there any predictions of the future that are really old? I mean actual attempts to predict or describe the future that date back 500, 1000, 2000 years.

>>1416727
Love this shit.
The best era for this type of thing was the early 1900's, just before WWI. Everyone knows about the brewing nationalism, but there was also the flip side - people who foresaw an interconnected, high-tech future, communicating by radio waves in Esperanto and reading Verne on your zeppelin ride to your relatives across the Atlantic. In all honesty, the future they foresaw was in my opinion far closer to the future of today than the today pictured by the 50's or the 80's folks.

Will be dumping.

The 'got pregnant and kept it secret and so could leave the baby in the woods' would once again be common if those services went away.
