WW1 was worse for soldiers, WW2 was worse for civilians.

World War 1 was hardly even a "world war". Nothing of great significance happened outside of Europe.

Living in thessaloniki,most christian churches in use still were christian to begin with except some mosques who were either demolished(after the liberation circa 1912) or survived as museums or cultural places of sorts.Most minarets were demolished too with the exception of rotunda,a temple that was used as a pagan christian and islamic temple.generally in christian dominating areas most mosques were either destroyed or made into galeries museums or just were totally ruined.generally in southern balkan that was the case.
so very few instances of mosque turned christian temple stands.

Antarctic territorial claims have no basis in international law.
Hence why it's only the insignificant countries making them, for self esteem reasons.

But the USA and Russia have the right to a free claim of Antarctic territory, it's in the Antarctic treaty

Can I have a real, non-/pol/ explanation about Venice and the significance of the "Black Nobility" who allegedly sided against the Pope?
Redpill me on Venetian Guelphs and how the hell Germans got involved with the Venetians (House of Welf.)
Did the Venetians create banking and all the bullshit about the Rothschild's is just bullshit? I want real, non-/pol/ explanations.
Any real history about this topic would be great. No conspiracy theories please.
The Eyes Wide Shut image is simply regarding the Venetian Masks. I want a non-/pol/ historical explanation.
Thanks.

The Venetians didn't necessarily invent anything, but they executed "being a merchant republic" better than anyone else.

Could any of the massive infrastructure projects dreamed up by the Nazis actually be built and operated or was it all just fantasy?

>Christian theologians fought over tiny details about the Trinity forcenturies
>yet the details of heaven and hell are still barely defined by any church
I find it very strange that the Catholic church didn't settle on a clear definition of the afterlife in it's first few centuries. Even today, both hell and heaven are basically whatever you want them to be. Is heaven onennes with god or a place? Is it going to be on Earth or in another plain? Is there physical suffering in hell, or is it just the absence of God (whatever that means)? The answer is going to differ depending of which priest you ask. They didn't even decide completely if Purgatory exists or not (Pope Francis just ordered the revision of it's existence).
How come these concepts are so vaguely defined in Catholic dogma?
>inb4 it's vaguely defined in the Bible as well
The Trinity is not even defined in the Bible.

Heaven is unity with God.
Hell is separation from God.
The Church has claimed this for a long while now.
>>
>>1106216
It's like the horror movie monster being just a guy in a rubber suit that's never shown clearly.
Individual imagination is far better suited to defining Heaven and Hell in a satisfying way since they're both complete fabrications anyway so literally who cares.

if her head rounded like it normally would before that bulge behind her head, it'd look normal, like pic related, if you excuse my poor shooping abilities.
I'd understand if the intuition was that big head = big intelligence. but I'm not sure.
