There is a few good ones, I prefer first person accounts, in Mexico the Diaz del Castillo journal is exelent for example, truly a must if you like the theme. Then depending of what do you prefer to learn (is a very extense subject after all) be it the military or native believes/folklore, cuisine... I'm sure it will be plenty of books about it if you speak Spanish or Portuguese.

Is it on the internet archive for free?

I'm sure you will find it with ease, if not torrent it.

Last Tuesday, in the city.
Got tired of it i guess.

I would assume Victorian values have a lot to do with it.

In the US it basically started with Prohibition and women's suffrage movements. Not that this really matters though, most major cities here have easily accessed prostitutes. The only thing illegality has done is drive up the price.

Because people were dirty as fuck and didn't/couldn't keep their natural hair clean or their dicks out of disease incubating vaginias.

Why do men today wear ties?

>>1081045
I've asked myself that so many times.

Would the outcome*

I'm so autistic

>>1080675
It would depend entirely on the foreign policy ireland pursued during the war.

I honestly can't see them doing much more then choosing to stay out of it.

>>1080672

I see no reason why that would affect the outcome of WW2.

Pest control is not a war

True, you do have a good point there. Violence begets violence, etc.

>>1080391

I think you're taking that sun tzu quote out of context. He was talking about minimizing losses while pursuing a routed enemy.

The next line:

> To a surrounded enemy you must leave a way of escape. Do not press an enemy at bay.
> Prince Fu Ch’ai said: ‘Wild beasts, when at bay, fight desperately. How much more is this true of men! If they know there is no alternative they will fight to the death.’

The Mongols brought in an era of learnedness and prosperity though.

I mean yeah, burning Baghdad was a loss for humanity as a whole, but they improved things in the region on a grand scale.

>>1080488
>Mongols brought in an era of learnedness and prosperity though
Maybe in Iran and inadvertently through the Mughals. But how can you say that slaughtering hundreds of thousands of middle-easterners good for the region?

Nomads (Turks, Mongols) literally fucked up every place they went to. The reason the Islamic world fell behind is because it went from being led by Arabs and Persians to being led by Turco-Mongols.

I made this exact thread (give or change a few words) with this exact pic like a week ago. r u memeing me

if not, there were a few ideas

>Guderian mostly fought in the East and had less combat encounters with Western troops therefore less ingrained in our popular conscious
>Likewise, British propaganda hyped up Rommel's talents (which there certainly were, he was a gifted officer) to make him out as some sort of Hannibal or Napoleon, in an attempt to explain why they were getting their tails kicked around Africa

Seems plausible to me. It's a shame, since Guderian was even less of a Nazi than Rommel.

His name was Heinz not General though.

Because

Yoav Eliasi

That depends on whether Soviet Helicopter Pilots liked Creedence Clearwater Rivival.

Wonder what the USSR's equivalent of "It ain't me" is...

Anyone can create a nation. I could declare that my house is now the 'Independant Republic of Dragon Dildos', but no-one's going to acknowledge that. So long as your 'nation' isn't acknowledged by other sovereign nations, it's not legitimate.

>>1079998
yeah thats why i need followers and if i want followers i need to be a good leader
