>prosperous
meme marxist historiography from the 60s, my friend. Paraguay was as shithole as any other South American shit hole of the time.
>>1161168
Germany.
>>1161181
It had no slaves and an emerging industry, railways and produced its own gun powder. Prosperous or not was on the right track and the war was a catastrophic setback.
Why was there sucj a focus on mosaics and poetry in the muslim world?
Was it persian influence?
>>1161130
>Was it persian influence?
Yes. Bedouins were also pretty big on poetry too though.
>>1161130
>mosaics
Well you can't depict anything natural, so the only thing left is to fall back to drawing geometrical patterns
Islamic architecture used mosaic technique to decorate religious buildings and palaces after the Muslim conquests of the eastern provinces of the Byzantine Empire. In Syria and Egypt the Arabs were influenced by the great tradition of Roman and Early Christian mosaic art. During the Umayyad Dynasty mosaic making remained a flourishing art form in Islamic culture and it is continued in the art of zellige and azulejo in various parts of the Arab world, although tile was to become the main Islamic form of wall decoration.
The first great religious building of Islam, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, which was built between 688–692, was decorated with glass mosaics both inside and outside, by craftsmen of the Byzantine tradition. Only parts of the original interior decoration survive. The rich floral motifs follow Byzantine traditions, and are "Islamic only in the sense that the vocabulary is syncretic and does not include representation of men or animals."

Why is the Enlightenment a bad thing again?
It's not. The French Revolution is though.
>Evil science becomes more popular than philosophy and creationism
>Evil democracy takes over from kings and queens ruling everything
Pretty much the reason retards on 4chan hate it.
>>1160432
I feel that your view is very americentric. The majority of the philosophes were very much pro-monarchy and were trying to give the king all of the power (huge supporters of an absolute enlightened monarchy) They were pretty much as anti-democracy as they could be. Only the Americans really were republicans. Most of them also were religious to some point, most likely deists.
Which side of the English Civil War are you on?
>>1160371
From what I've read Cromwell wasn't bad until he went full-retard with the invasion of Ireland and the dictatorial policies he enacted.
Can we not use the most radical Roundhead as their standard bearer, most were just constitutional monarchists who weren't regeciderd
>>1160371
God save the king

Why are people allowed to have faith in God but not in science or other methods of reducing bias?
Allowed by who?

People on this board, mostly. Or just the religious.

Whatever happened to the young German man in pic related?
>>1160082
slow, agonizing death
Did he made it out of the gulag?
He was gunned down after that pic was taken
>biggest conflict of the Cold War
>all of the major communist nations were limited to support roles
>Soviets only had 3,000 people in Vietnam and never even admitted to it publicly
>Cuba has never acknowledged having personnel in Vietnam
>even China had nobody on the frontlines
>meanwhile the United States sent 536,100 Americans to fight the whole goddamn war
Why didn't the commies care? The United States threw everything they had at this war and the Red Menace mostly watched from the sidelines. Was this not the most important manifestations of the conflict that underscored the entirety of global affairs from WWII up until 1991? Why the disparity?
Ho Chi Mihn had his shit together.
>>1159808
maybe because the communists were a bit less unified than the western forces?
this was post-sino-soviet split, right?
>>1159808
Because only on 4chan is it normal to see someone being stupid, and try to one up them by being stupider.
Do we still live in a just-world?
Germans pls leave.
>>1159679
Anything one man finds just, the other will find unjust.
Just learn to live with the inevitability of conflict without a true moral high ground separating the conflicting entities. The world's a much better place that way.
>still
>implying the world was ever "just"
How do i get more into history? should I just start doing stuff like reading history related Wikipedia articles?
