We all know about the first, second and the third crusade. But what about the rest of them? What about the child crusade? Let's talk about them.

Were they real? Do we have any evidence of them? Could it have been mistaken identity?

Why the did the Argies invade the Falklands when they knew the Brits were thinking of handing it over?

All they had to do was wait a few years for the Pro-Falkland MPs to get ousted.

Hey, /tg/ here. I am an avid 0layer of historical war games and war games in general. I just started a ww2 British army. I am a yank so I have very little idea about the British army during this era as nobody really talks about the Brita here in burgerland.

I was looking to see if any of you could give me good sources to poke around for info on British army organization during that era.

If you have any info that you would like to post here about the British army and it's organization in the 1940s (especially 43-45) I would be very grateful.

Jesuit Luís Fróis on Oda Nobunaga:

>"This King of Owari, who would be around 37 years old, is tall of stature, lean, sparsely bearded, with extremely sonorous voice, given to military exercises, indefatigable, inclined to works of justice and compassion, arrogant, a great lover of honour, very secretive in his decisions, a master of stratagems, hardly or not at all mindful of the reprimands or advice of his subordinates, and is feared and venerated by all to the highest degree. He does not drink wine, is brusque in his manner, looks down upon all the other kings and princes of Japan and speaks to them with disdain as if to his inferiors, is totally obeyed by all as the absolute lord, has good understanding and sharp judgements, despises the gods, the Buddhas, and all other kinds of idolatry and pagan superstition. Nominally, he professes to belong to the Lotus sect, but openly declares that there is no creator of the universe, no immortality of the soul, or life after death. His buildings are very clean and refined, and always in perfect order. He hates delays and circumlocution, and not even a prince appears before him bearing a sword; he always has two thousand pages or mounted guards with him. His father was Lord of Owari Province, but he, through his immense energy, has subjected seventeen or eighteen provinces in the last four years. He conquered the eight [sic] central provinces, including the metropolitan province of Yamashiro, in seven or eight days."

What do you guys think about Nobunaga? He seems to be quite an interesting man, very unlike many lords from his time (at least on his personal beliefs).

What was it like? Who ruled it? How were the standards of living? Was there freedom? What would it have ended up like had it continued? Do you have anecdotes from relatives?
Any information about it is good. My understanding is that it was a communist dictatorship under the guise of Anarchism.
Also, it can be a Spanish Civil War thread too.

Latin language thread.

I'm starting from plain sentences with vocabulary from a single verbal conjugation and a single noun declension, and working my way through all combinations. No sense in trying to juggle every category at once.

Once I understand the conjugations and cases for each verb and noun category, I'll start to focus on learning vocabulary. I'm starting with -are verbs and the most regular masculine and feminine nouns in -us and -a.

One thing, though: Should sentences with unstated subjects have the verb go first?
e.g.
"Servus floras parat" (the slave is arranging flowers)

Should the unstated subject version be:
"Parat floras" (he is arranging flowers)
or:
"Floras parat"? (Flowers, he's arranging! Oy vey!)
