but they didn't

It's amazing how Hitler wanted to exterminate blonde/blue eyed Slavs but made an alliance with olive skinned mediterranean manlets and Japs

That's weird

they also used Harvards in place of Zeroes. got to see one of the Harvards that was in the film flying at an airshow recently

I seriously doubt IJN would have had any captured Harvards during Pearl Harbor.

They go to the afterlife. Its their blood that the Gods want.

The Aztecs believed that people had 3 'soul centers', one in the mind, one in the heart and one in the liver.

The mind's soul (Tonali), was linked to the highest heaven of the universe and it was directly related to the gods. Tonali comes from the etymological root heat (Tona) and the hair was the physical manifestation of this soul, just like the sun rays are the physical manifestation of the sun's Tonali.

The heart's soul (Teyolia) was related to blood, literally and figuratively, since it was related to the ancestors and the knowledge. This was the only soul that could travel to the afterlife and it was related to different heavens above the earth.
After the sacrifice the Teyolia was linked to a god, who eat it and absorbed it in the same way that the beings we eat becomes part of us. For example, it was believed that those who died sacrificed to the sun god, or on the battlefield, became hummingbirds and butterflies who accompanied the sun as bodyguards during his daily war against the night.

The liver's soul (Ihiyotl), as the name of this organ in English suggests, was related to life. It regulated the emotions of the persons, for example a coward person lacked Ihiyotl, an irascible person had a swollen Ihiyotl and act with the Ihiyotl was to be careful or make love to someone.

Sadly, there is not as much information about the afterlife of the Ihiyotl and the Tonali compared to the Teyolia.
All of these souls lived together a fourth 'soul', the body, which belonged to the Earth and was considered an extension of it.

For those who want to know more I highly recommend you Aztec Medicine, Health, and Nutrition by Bernard Ortiz de Montellano.

I think one of the best ways to have a closer understanding of these concepts and their perception of life is through their poetry:

What was it that your mind perhaps was finding?
Where was your heart?
That is why you give your heart to every thing;
without direction you take it; you go about destroying your heart.
On the earth, can you go in search of something? Can it be lived on the Earth?
Not for always on earth: just a little here.
Even though it be jade it breaks,
even though it be gold it breaks,
even though it be quetzal feathering it rips,
not for always on earth: just a little here. Do we speak something truthful here, Giver of life?
We only dream, we only get up from the dream.
It is only like a dream...
Nobody speaks the truth here... Are the men truth?
For so our chant is not truth anymore.
What is by luck standing?
What is to come out well? Do we really speak here, Giver of life...?
Even if emeralds, if fine ointments,
we give to the Giver of Life,
if with collars you are invoked, with the strength of the eagle,
of the tiger,
it could be that nobody says the truth on the earth. Ayocuan and Cuetzpal speak like this,
that truly know the Giver of Life...
I hear his word there, certainly his,
the rattle bird answers to the Giver of Life.
Go chanting, offer flowers, offer flowers.
Like emeralds and quetzal feathers, are his words raining.
Over there maybe the Giver of Life satisfies himself?
Is this the only truthful thing on the earth? We only come to sleep,
we only come to dream,
every each spring of the grass, that is how our making is,
it is not true, it is not true that we came to live on the earth,
it comes and sprouts, it comes and our heart opens corollas,
our body gives out some flowers, it wilts!

Thanks for using my map senpai.

I still think GrossGermaniums was a mistake.

It's a solid 9/10 map my dude.

I tweaked it a little by giving Cyprus to Greece, Corsica and Algeria to France, but others wise great map.

But I do wonder what that disgusting blob is next to Russia and Poland?

Monotheism is a good model if you want to have political control. You have one God and one priesthood that controls the church. So the only access to divine is through the church door and the priesthood are the key masters.

It gives an immense amount of control to the priests. The same thing happened with the Zoastrians and the Jewish Monotheists.

In other cases methods of control other than religion were used. Because of this a more free-form type of religion would not disrupt power because religion is more about culture than political control.

It's a variation on Pascal's wager. If the Greeks say that most people end up in Hades and Elysium is only for heroes while the Christians say that you can go to heaven by just believing in Jesus following his teachings and if you don't then you'll go to a place worse than hades, this gives Christianity an edge.

The Greeks actually had mystery cults that claimed you could go to Elysium if you were inducted into their secret society, but these societies were exclusive while Christianity would include slaves, women, etc. So you can see why Christianity won out.

Was Hades really a bad place to be at though?

Stop the decline of Catholicism, unite Europe under its banner. Watch as the world unifies under the banner of the pope, and then we bring His will to the stars.

Nothing major, because I am not a retard. The only reasonable thing might be to prevent or lessen atrocities and the like, or save the lives of geniuses.

...Actually, I might change recent history to eliminate radical islam, or just get HW Bush to finish off saddam back when he should have.

When the English ruled Rhodesia they had guns germs and steel. Once the Africans took over they mismanaged their stock of guns germs and steel. The rest is history.

Zimbabwe was actually white, other colonies' whites were just to check on the blacks and get lucky with business. Zimbabwe went from 5 to 1 while other nations went from 3 to 2
Also the more forceful the blacks were the more they wanted to do the exact contrary as the previous leaders: scrap the constitution, destroy business, invest in idiotic shit, burn down good looking houses.

The most laughable dictator ever came to power as a result of one so there's that.

Effective how?
Do they bring people in power? Yes all the time

Yes.

It baffles me how the U.S. Army never attempted one of those. I think MacArthur actually come close but he backed off in the end.

That is to say, nothing.

Islam spread in India in certain communities because the caste system was more lax, as in in the Malipas. I'm not entirely sure about Christianity or Judaism, but Islam spread because of it's radical idea of equality regardless of race, caste, or ethnicity. This was especially seen in Bengal.

Abrahamic religions are much more cult-like and communal than the religions that followed before them.

They appeal to those living unsatisfying and harsh lives on Earth who desire easy salvation in the afterlife. It lacks any sort of deeper thought-process than "Follow these easy steps to get eternal salvation!". No real philosophy, self-determinism, existentialism, etc. is inherent in Christianity.

As far as Religions go it is 100% plebeian-tier.

>>1118321
Yeah, pretty much.

Goddamn death cult.

The US lost Vietnam because it went in with poorly defined objectives, did not have a coherent exit plan, and overall did not understand a god damn thing about the people of Vietnam, why they were fighting, and how they saw them.

Alot of that can be said about Iraq and Afghanistan as well.

>Remind me again how the US is some kind of superpower?
Aircraft carriers, nukes/ICBMs and a powerful economy. Are you implying the US is NOT a superpower?
