Nobody really holds anything against the Loyalists, it's only people like Arnold who started out fighting for America then switched sides who are hated.

>inb4 the Continental Congress didn't give him enough money

Start with the story of Cronus eating his babies

In strictly History? Iliad, find a companion piece of fragmented stories of the Trojan War, then read Herodotus. If you're talking philosophy in general, ask /lit/, they have info graphics for that kind of thing.

What's your goal/interest? Why are you supposed to start with the Greeks? Your goals will influence where you want to start.

There was an image with a flow chart of Greek literature, though. Someone might post it.

Unrestricted submarine warfare is some scary shit. I am thankful the Cold War never got hot. We might have kicked some Soviet ass, but the words "Torpedo in the Water" are words I (as a submarine sonar man) am glad I never had to speak (except in training).

Here's hoping my son and his submarine keep those Trident missiles in their tubes.

Thanks anon

Yeah it's not a particularly memorable topic. Scots dominated in coffee and tobacco, and were involved in the slave trade like everyone else. That's really about it.

I've never taken a history exam. Is it all essay questions? Does the professor grade it, or a panel of multiple graders?

Right. Fuck Newton and the likes. An interest in science has never helped any society, right?

It didn't improve the life of the layman but neither did anything until well after the working conditions of the Industrial Revolutions were made non-abusive.

That's really cool. I know someone who's doing something like that with simulators for accurate geography and fault lines and such. Really cool stuff. I kind of wish I had the patience and creativity to go somewhere with a project like that. Do you mind sharing?

>Do you eat offal
Yes, asado, morcilla and churrasco.

By extension of this principle, reproducing is immoral as you are subjecting another animal to suffer a life for your own innate desires.

The short version is when a ruler controls enough of a region and has enough security he can "King of ___". Prior to that he might associate with a group of people (King of the Franks) or acknowledge a higher power (King in Prussia).

After that, that monarch and his descendants go about purging the state of religious minorities and establishing a common language.

This is, of course, a vast generalization. But in general geopolitical entities start as a state and then become a nation.

Basically they existed peacefully until Napoleon came around and Nationalized shit.

This is, of course, a vast generalization.

>how did these groups create a "French" or "Spaniard" identity?

Those identities were more loyalty to a King and the idea of common interest. This wasn't ethnically based. Once that shit started France was smart enough to kill regional linguistic groups ... Spain wasn't.
