Why must a Jew adhere to all 13 principles of faith? How do we know the Tanakh (Old Testament for gentiles) is as it was when Moses received it?

Moses obviously didn't receive the entire Tanakh nor was he likely to have "received" the Torah (see JEDP textual criticism).

>adhere to all 13 principles of faith
The Articles of Faith come from 12th-century Rabbi Maimonides and while they are based on Scripture, they are not specifically outlined in the Torah or Tanahk. They are beliefs (like the Nicaean Creed) and not explicit instructions for rules of conduct (with the possible exxception of number 5, Prayer is to God only)

Taiping Rebellion, mid 1800s China. In short:

>Dude Hong Xiquan fails civil service exam three times, goes crazy, thinks he's the younger brother of Jesus

>Starts a religious rebellion while China's already fucked with the Opium Wars, does pretty well, all of society under Taiping is a weird fusion of religion and military

>Ends up crushed, up to 30 fucking million people die, Nanjing gets wrekt pretty bad, deadliest civil war in human history

>All started by a Chinese dude who thought he was related to Christ

Probably one of the weirdest history stories I've came upon so far

Read "Revolt of the Majors: How the Air Force Changed After Vietnam."

It's about how the USAF changed after Vietnam.

https://etd.auburn.edu/bitstream/handle/10415/595/MICHEL_III_55.pdf

It's essentially an origin story for the modern USAF. The part that you seem to want is the part where it talks about how each successive president impacted the USAF.

For example, it talks about how Kennedy and McNamara introduced the concept of controlled escalation ("nukes should be our last resort, not our opening move").

What were the largest scale military conflicts (considering the amount of people, countries, area involved) of each respective century?
11 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>1398085
WWII was, by far, the largest scale military conflict of all time. No other conflict comes even close. Napoleonic Wars were the largest scale conflict of the 19th century. Kind of stupid to list them out separately as they were really just one big conflict. 7 Year's War was the largest scale conflict of the 18th century and you could claim it to be the first true World War as it contained belligerents and battles on every continent. I cbf going back any further than that. Do your own research.
>>
Every century has one huge war.

20th century - WW1 and WW2 (These are the same conflict)
19th century ( Napoleonic wars)
18th century - 7 years war
17th century - 30 years war
16th century - Wars of religion

The obvious answer is because there's no such thing. It's that simple.
