No you need to get off 4chan and do your essay

Yes.

There's also a handy compilation of writings by Marx, Engels and Lenin shitting on anarchism (including the Stirner variety): http://bookzz.org/book/2379950/e6843d

>>1161223

>>1161171
If you agree with Marx, yes.

On top of this I'd also argue that anywhere in Italy during the Bubonic Plague, as well as being a Native American (maybe Aztecs) during the Great Dying caused by smallpox and Spanish subjugation

>Rome is a city-state
>Italian civilization, dating back to the Etruscans, is dominated by city-states
>from the high middle ages onward, the historical trend is towards larger nation-states
>Italy has such powerful city-states that it takes much longer to unite into a single nation-state
>regionalism, and the general ineptitude and inexperience of the national government poison the military, as well as society in general

Germans had this problem too to a lesser degree.

>>1160048
How did Germany overcome this?

>>1160056
The strong unifying force of Bismarck, as well as the fact that Prussia had been operating as a nation-state for centuries beforehand.

Still, I think it's one reason Germany ended up embroiled in the world wars, and ended up fighting them without many allies. They simply hadn't spent as much time navigating the European political theater as England or France.

One big reason is that the fertile crescent went from being fertile to being a desert.

Also, the models of government that were good in 3000 BC became progressively less competitive as time went on, so naturally the parts of the world that were the most advanced during the bronze and iron ages fared worse later on.

Also, Arabs, Ottomans, Mongols, and European colonialism.

But most of that was a symptom of weakness rather than a cause.

>>1160059
How did just like the most fertile region on Earth become a desert? Was it just poor knowledge of Agriculture? Because, If I recall correctly Italy managed to increase Libya's grain production to Roman levels again,

>>1160043
Desertification, helped along by plague. The population collapsed, and never really recovered until the modern era.

>>1160069
The region had been very fertile for a long time. Like thousands of years. That's not productivity that just lasts forever under constant bear.

Mass genocide and slavery.

Because that didn't have any reprucussions, RIGHT?!

>Was Hitler as power hungry as the western documentaries make him out to be?

ADOLF HITLER WAS NOT "POWER HUNGRY" TO ANY DEGREE.

>Was he so utterly absorbed within himself that he outright refused the advice and insight his veteran generals offered?

ADOLF HITLER WAS NOT A HUBRISTIC PERSON.

>Would love to hear opinions on this, or pointers to books about this.

OPINIONS, OR BOOKS, REGARDING WHAT?

I'm reading all of your sentences in this voice.

Uncle Adolf was butthurt about WWI and full of imperial fantasies. He wanted to remove slavs and jews and create a new German Empire (third reich)

DANNY!

Probably around the time they started inheriting and expanding around in the Lowlands, both asserting rights of a sovereign state while still also demanding rights as a powerful vassal of France (which is regency rights and what not)

You have to remember that the Burgundies were related to the Valois, since they were both Capetian cadet branches. Though this brings up the question as to why the Burgundy branch never really pressed their claim to the French throne, and it's probably because it was more of a stretch than Edward III's was.

Edward III was the oldest direct male descendant of the French King, while the Burgundies were from the French King's youngest son who was probably (I'm not aware of the rules here as much, so excuse my inaccuracies.) Given the duchy as both a formality and as a way to let him have something since he couldn't have the French Crown.

When John the fearless had Louis I, Duke of Orléans assassinated during one of the kings bouts of madness.

Well to be honest shit went sideways when Phillip the Bold died and John the Fearless took over which resulted in a fucking civil war.

I highly recommend Richard Vaughan's book series on the Dukes of Burgundy if you are interested.

Yes. Sectionalism is a big part of German culture. The same thing is true with Italy.
>inb4 "bcuz they were cucked after World War II xD"
It's true in neutral Switzerland as well.

>>1158565
No, there is just a lot of cultural differences in germany, religion, language. History does of course play a large part in it as well, but it isnt just because the HRE looked like a childrens puzzle

Where's Voltaire?

I think the division of Germany between West and East after WW2 probably made a difference too, though there's been a fairly long history of Germany division.

I mean with any country that had periods of division you can kind of see similar things. Southern Chinese have different language patterns, culture, customs and products than Northern Chinese. Britain has that whole English, Welsh, Irish and Scots thing going on, and even lesser shit like Manx is making a comeback. The South (by which I mean the Southeast) US still sort of has a culture distinct from the rest of the US.

The majority were like the Scandinavians who went a viking in earlier times, young men from a clannish society who during the farming season took odd-jobs in agriculture and transport, and in the off-season signed up as merchant marines, some of whom engaged in piratical activities.

Funding them was a merchant class who made their living by trade and insurance, and who could make bank by diverting rival shipping into their ports without the expense of having to compete in a market or pay for most of the transport.

Buying from them was an upper and upper-middle urban class with high demand for luxuries, finished goods, and manpower, all of which came at a premium in North Africa due to low population, lack of industry, and an unstable political situation between the city and the hinterland. It's here that the demand for captives and slaves arises as domestic servants, manual laborers, and sources of lucrative ransoms.

>>1158679
Not to mention that the Ottoman Empire actively encouraged this.

>>1158712
Not directly, since the word is just something that doesn't really exist when discussing early modern North Africa. Like the French with their pirates based out of Marseilles, or the Florentines and their sailors based in Leghorn, or the Hapsburgs and their relationship with the Uskoks, and the Papacy and the Knights of Rhodes/Malta, it's not something that the crowns of Europe and Africa had official say over, but were regularly petitioned to alleviate or reduce in some vague way like banning them from official harbors or opening up courts for disputes.

The Porte was more directly involved with the Genoan and Greek Black Sea traders in order to fill seats for their navy.

These threads amuse me.

I always want to learn more about this period but the English sources for it are mostly really crappy. There's only a few good ones and I'm too lazy to learn Japanese, or at least currently while I'm trying to learn Mandarin.

I do know a little bit about the era from reading some of the few good English books that exist though, as well as from fucking around on Samurai Archives Wiki. Anything specific you want to know about?

>>1158336
Mostly just overall thoughts on the era. Maybe about how accurate the Extra History series is if you've seen it

>good military leaders make good political leaders

some do but not simply because of their military skills

>>1157987
look, bro. I'm all for assblasting inferior southerners as well but Sherman wasn't a master tactician or truly treat leader.

He simply charged ahead with overwhelming force, destroyed everything in his way as punishment. Didn't spare anything such as churches or hospitals, which landed him in violation of Lincoln's Lieber Code, making him a war criminal who could have been convicted in court if he was prosecuted.
