White people who live in cold climates, in tropical climates, in deserts, etc... always build prosperous civilizations

Niggers who live in cold climates, in tropical climates, in deserts, etc... always fail to build anything noteworthy.

The author is a white apologist

That for a good portion, it's not the environment that determines everything, our ideas about the environment also play a big role

Except, you know, quit.

Besides, Kasparov was better. Fischer was only really the "Fischer" of legend for a very short time of his career, 70-72. Before that, he was a top ten GM, but nothing super-special. Hell, he had a minus record against Spassky going into Rejkavik, and a lot of people thought he would lose and have to come back in 75.

You mean besides allow the empire to become stagnate while they were on top and Europeans were developing? Besides that small thing, sure, they did nothing wrong.

The Falklands are sovereign British territory.
Spics tried to snatch.
Spics BTFO

>>1214325
What kicked it off was Argentina just decided to occupy the Falklands for the banter.

Brits think it is a super-human achievement to defend a couple of irrelevant islands from a third world shithole, so they never shut up about it. Possibly to compensate for getting absolutely annihilated by Argentina in every football match that matters.

Argentina wanted our land and access to oil

So they tried to take it, but history has shown what happens when you cross the Celestial Anglo

It wasn't, not in a grand Christains vs Muslims sort of way.

Tours was a raiding party that was already heading back south when it was defeated. And the Umayyads mostly spread by colonizing, not raiding, and they had stopped that particular mode of advance well to the south, and didn't really have the population base to continue northwards.

Plus, you know, it was about a fifth of the size of the major battle between Christians and Muslims going on over in Byzantium.

Tours's principal importance was for how it solidified Charles Martel and the Carolingians in general, and for what they in turn would do for France. But in an ultramacrohistorical view? It wasn't that big of a deal, and Creasy (sp?) is an idiot.

>>1213745
Tours wasn't about anything as grand as establishing Europe nor something as mundane as a raiding party. It was a battle to settle which invader would claim hegemony over Aquitaine: the northern Franks or the southern Moors.

The actual result of the battle wouldn't change had the Moors won. Rather than decades of devastating suppression and raids into Southern France by the Carolingians, there might have been decades of the same from Arab-Berbers while the native lords and bishops of the region relied on mercenaries from the opposite side to defend themselves.

>>1213745
Don't really understand what's going on in that portrait. Where are the muslims? Why are the European looking dudes in the middle looking to strike each other?

What is the Council of Jerusalem

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

British colonial management and high IQ colonial subjects

Isn't Hong Kong due to join the PRC in 2019? What will happen? Will they stay autonomous or will China impose its laws on it?

>>1213610
Being a port city with massive British investment that also happens to be the one free market city in China, leads to explosive growth.

Now that a lot of other Chinese cities are more like HK, HK is in recession.

>>1214502
Not like that.
Definitely no. Might be more indirect censorship though.

HK has been part of the PRC since 1997.

Femanon here. Can someone please explain this meme? Either I don't get it or it's not funny.

reading about single figures is pleb-tier history

>>1213557
>single figures
I don't think that's at all implied in the statement.

>>1213587
No, that's exactly what's implied here. Old school history is basically recounting mythology and chronicling the lives of individual princes.

>>1213309
Then Mexicans would speak French, I guess?

>>1213309

Very likely a repeat of Tours the other way around. He didn't have the excess population to displace the natives and recolonize with his own people, the organizational infrastructure to perform large scale conversions, so he's really reduced to raiding. At some point resistance would mount high enough to roll him back.

He didn't have the manpower. Even at the end of his reign he was still trying to reclaim Francia's southern coast. His wars against the Umayyad helped solidify his rule and set up the Carolingian dynasty however. Ultimately he left his grandson in a much better position to invade Hispania. He was the greatest European ruler and general at the time, without him Francia would have fallen under Umayyad rule.
