No this is a thread about the historicity of a medieval object and scholarly debate about said object. Is this not a board to discuss the science of history and other humanities

Makes sense.

There isn't a lot of advantage in terms of kinetic energy, and it makes it harder to hit.

The revolution failed, but things were never quite the same after so you could argue that it won in the long run/in the world of ideas.

>Allowed for radical factions to take over
>Allowed for Napoleon to take over
Pretty much any political movement will split off into radicals and moderates. That's not a failure per se. There was literally nothing wrong with pre-1804 Napoleon. There's also a contradiction in these statements: you're at the same time complaining about the radical AND the moderate elements.

>Made any future government in France unstable.
That was the Coalition. That same Coalition that violated the Treaty of Amiens. The one treaty that was supposed to bring peace to Europe and give France the stability it needed after a chaotic revolution. And the stability it was never given, paving the way for the empire.

>Was the French revolution a failure?
>a failure?

at what?

You have provided an incomplete question. As it stand any answer would rest on the value judgments of the answerer. May as well as 'how do you feel about the French Revolution' rather than couching it in a pretension of objectivity.

Socialism still has private property

>>1312414
Socialism grows out of Capitalism and is a system of production based on public ownership of the means of production (Anything from Soviet-style central planning to worker-controlled industrial democracy), Communism is a further development of this, also known as the 'higher stage' of Socialism, with no state, no money, no class system etc.

It would be correct to say that the USSR was a Communist state (They at least claimed to be developing Socialism in anticipation of transitioning to Communism), but it wasn't a Communist society.

>for some reason.

Because both were equated with the Iron Curtain and thus everything that used to be considered unamerican.

>Bonus Points: Which one aligns with modern day Republicans and which one aligns with modern day Democrats?
Why the fuck do Americans always try to shoehorn everything into their retarded political system where not even red is left wing.

>>1312393
Democratic-Republicans, Hamilton was a shit

>Bonus Points: Which one aligns with modern day Republicans and which one aligns with modern day Democrats?

That's easy, the Democratic-Republicans align with modern Republicans and the Federalists with Democrats. Not that they're actually similar but hey you asked the question.

Pretty sure this pic is a French Revolutionary Cockade

Why can't Americans invent their own symbols?

I'll sum it up: The land has always been Armenian and was over 90% Armenian at the end of WW1 when both countries were annexed by the Soviet Union. Before then the British Allied forces had betrayed the Armenian forces who controlled the area by saying it would be given to them at the Paris Peace Conference, but in actuality wanted to give it to the new Tartar state called "Azerbaijan", taking the name of the Iranian province it is not part of, in order to access their Caspian oil reserves in return. Stalin also wanted to put the region under the Azeri SSR both because he wanted to create conflict and good relations with Turkey.

During Soviet rule, Artsakh Armenians were treated as second class citizens in their own land (Karabakh is the name foreigners use). Lots of churches were demolished, the use of the Armenian language was discouraged, and lots of Azeris were settled in the area. By the end of the Soviet period the region was about 70% Armenian.

The Soviet Union was falling apart and independence would soon be given to its states. Armenians wanted Artsakh to be joined wih Armenia, and in response atrocities were committed against Armenian civilians living under the Azeri sphere. This led to war for the region. Armenians were on their own. Russia funded both sides for money. Azeris recived lots of help from Turkey, Chechen and Paki jihadists, and Israeli bankers, but they all got BTFO and the Armenians of Artsakh declared an independent republic.

Brownie points

de Gaulle was leader of the Resistance so he was leader of the Republic toward the end of the war when it was liberated and because the Resistance fought very very hard they got a special place with the big boys

I await the 500+ replies to this thread.

Faith helped many survive the camps and in turn go on to live fairly healthy lives. There's even been studies on this.

I'd say it was worth it since Jews finally returned to their promised land after 2000 years of wandering.

Modern political classifications dont really work when applied to ancient cultures

>>1310039
One could argue Rome was a modern state of its time, they were so organized of a state that they could be considered a modern nation due to that alone.

They were an oligarchy of landed nobility

>What can I do with my life if I stick with History as a career?
Teach/nothing.

One of my ex boyfriends studied a M. A. in History. Now he is running my hometown´s museum and published a book. You can do a lot of shit as long as you have some connections and concrete ideas about what you may want to do with your degree.

>>1308162
OP here. While arguing with a "friend" about History, I said the cliched line of "You need to know history to avoid making the same mistakes" but he countered with "What's the point of history when people will make the same mistakes over and over again no matter what."

What can I say to counter that?
