Who is your historical husbando, Anons?
Personally, I have a certain attraction and fondness for Basil II, 'the Bulgar-Slayer':
>expanded the Empire to its greatest territorial extent after the losses of the Muslim conquests
>subjugated the barbarian Bulgars
>put down the land-owning aristocracy and ensured the continuation of the Byzantine bureaucratic system while crushing the nobility's hopes of a more feudal arrangement
>was a prudent and competent administrator who left a surplus in the Imperial Treasury upon his death
>extended Greek influence far beyond the borders of the Eastern Roman Empire, as far away as Kievan Rus'
>was a stocky and burly DILF who was known for his distinctive beard
10/10, would kiss

Why is it that land-owning aristocracy fuck everything up from the Byzantine, to the HRE, to France (thank you based Robspierre), and almost England; if they didn't get their feefees pandered to with the house of lords?
>>1317935
And to Poland-Lithuania, who's aristocracy needed to be pandered to to defend their own clay, in a way that more or less doomed the nation to be impotent later on?
Another debate resolved
>tfw China never joined the USSR

>tfw Japan never switched to the superior Economic Ideology
>tfw we never witnessed the USSR take over Asia
>tfw the USSR never expanded into Africa despite all the quasi-Socialist and Communist states being erected
>tfw the USSR was on it's way of adding Europe to it's Union
>tfw South America including Cuba never joined the Union
>tfw we never saw a struggle for a world power between the USSR encompassing 5 continents against Capitalist powerhouse USA
>tfw we never got to see USSR reach it's maximum potential
but its maximum potential was to collapse
>>1317666
>Japan
I doubt they'd want to involve themselves with the ideas of land stealing Ruskies
>>1317666
This is some really shitty bait, man. It peaked when it had control of all the satellite states in the Warsaw Pact after WWII, and that was really its highest potential. Do you actually think China and countries as far flung from Russia as Cuba ran on the exact same principles as Soviet communism? There's also a reason the U.S. propped up so many dictators during the Cold War, so the commies wouldn't spread their malign influence further than it already had.
Last one went swimmingly so ill self bump with some of my favorites from our last thread
If religion collapsed in the west, would that be good or bad?

If the Orlando shooter was atheist, do you think he would shoot up a gay bar?
>>1317542
You can be homophobic and atheist. Like you can be gay and homophobic, see the breitbart reporter. In this case he would still have killed people, as he was insane. In fact his family suspected he was gay.
>>1317563
Right but you can't get the idea to kill gays from atheism.
Is it worth a read?

There's that buzzword again.

Well at least he got the date right.

Why is Europe a buzzword?
Assume there is an alternate history in which the Whites setled in Africa and Blacks setled in Europe.
Would there be any difference ?

so fiction?

Blacks did settle in Europe and became white eventually.
Hello /his/
First time posting here. Honestly I know history very bad, never was my interest, and I never did well with it in school. I've only been interested in large scale history like evolution of planet and life.
Recently I got interested in Jeanne d’Arc, after I saw a film La passion de Jeanne d'Arc (1928), which impressed and shook me. So I started digging more info on Jeanne, and learned about Hundred Years' War. I remember studying it in school, but as usual I forgot all the details.
So I was always 100% positive towards Great Britain and their history, but what I've learned makes me change my mind. So apparently GB invaded France and wanted to take over it, merely like Hitler in 1939. So is GB actually evil? Or do I miss something?
Yes. The League of Super Best Countries was actually formed to fight against the evil Dr Britain.
>>1315204
First off, GB didn't exist, it was England.
Secondly, yes, GB and anglos are the villains of the world, scum only rivaled by the turks.
Thirdly, applying good/bad to history is a no-no
>>1315236
>rivaled by the turk
Aah fuck you barbarian cunt.
Why does the Qur'an describe Jesus/Isa as the "Word of God" and the "Spirit of God" (Ruh-Allah)? What's the meaning of this title?
Pic unrelated.
>>1314152
Muhammad was insane. He probably kept going back and forth on whether Jesus was god or not since he was raised Christian.
What, the Qur'an actually says this?!
>>1314165
Can I be explained as to why the Cuckran is fake? Like, I understand its fake, but I don't understand HOW it is fake.
Yes, yes, America, you won the Revolutionary War, yes. HOWEVER
>>1313775
uh oh they burnt down our special house
Reminder to Canadians that they lost a war to muslims in 2014.

Was the Luftwaffe the most under-performing branch of any military in ww2?
>not counting shitalians obviously.
>>1313336
nah that would be the kriegsmarine
>>1313336
No. Hell, I would argue they were one of the best performing branches of any military in WW2. At the outset of the war, they had an inventory of less than half of the RAF, but still managed more operational planes per day than the Brits all the way up till mid 1940. Their CAS doctrine was spot on, and they did a good job of patrolling the skies.
Sure, they had some weaknesses, especially longer ranged craft, lack of a strategic bombing arm, and their ATR were pretty shit. They also had a lot of organizational problems, especially with getting their pilots and aircrew training to sync up with their plane production. At the end of it though, they did very well with what they had, and I'm not even a Wehraboo.
This isn't some joke about the Luftwaffe "Heer in disguise" units, is it? If so, I fell for it, I guess.

Did Eastern Europeans( Bulgarians, Poles, Czechs,etc.) ever participate in the colonization and conquest of other continents?
Yes, but only as setlers and mercenaries.
Russia was the only slav empire that had territories outside Europe
>>1313320
Bulgarians tried to take Constantinople, if that counts as invading another continent. Czechs didn't have their own state until recently so nothing to comment on there.
Poland tried to conqueror Russia when it was in the middle of civil wars and a famine. I think it included parts of Asia at the time.

Hey, guys.
I’m having trouble identifying an old coin.
I got it in Spain, so I assume it’s Spanish.
It seems to be a redundant coin that was countermarked.
The coin forums had no clue.
Any ideas?
doesn't look like a coin. What's on the back?
>>1313186
Nothing.
implying it's old
implying it's not a shitty recast some shady guy sold your naive tourist ass for way to much money
What does 'progress' mean to you?
Technological advancement, increased military efficiency, cultural domination and increased output of the arts, greater ownership of assets and resources.
In essence, how it works in Civilization games.

Cro-Magnon and evolution thread
cro-magnon were fully evolved modern humans so i don't really understand what you want to talk about
>>1300417
What exactly about evolution do you want to discuss?
>>1300497
This. We should also point out that there is still no evidence that macro-evolution ever took place. As of now, it's an unsubstantiated theory backed up by misclassified chimp bones.
