Why is Mary Tudor known as "Bloody Mary" for ordering the execution of 283 people, when Elizabeth I ordered the execution of 300+ and isn't given the same moniker?

Which of his documentaries is your favorite, /his/? Excited for his upcoming Vietnam War series?
I think my favorite has to either be the Prohibition one, or the Civil War. Still need to finish Jazz & the West.

>Which of his documentaries is your favorite, /his/?
None. His sentimentalising is ahistorical.
>Excited for his upcoming Vietnam War series?
God no. It will further the ignorance of RVN/DRVN/PRG/NFL politics, and ensure a complete ignorance of the PLAF, PAVN and ARVN's engagements.
If I wanted to watch "Americana, the it ain't me edition" I would put on some creedence while masturbating to Rambo 1.

How far into the series do you think it'll be until CCR is played for the first time?
I'm betting on "it ain't me" right at the beginning of the intro, every episode.
>>1073068
Well knowing Ken Burns he'll start in 1944 with the "OSS was democratising Vietnam from within and we betrayed them, therefore we started the Vietnam war before there was a Vietnam war, Ho Chi Minh was a democrat" bullshit.
One episode for the advisors.
So at least Episode 3.
Prepare for the deliberate and political misuse of highly political sectarian songs in order to inculcate sentimentality in US viewers who have no conception of social history.

It's only a shame he was a scrub and he ruined his countries democracy over a temper tantrum.

It's worse than that. The U.S. at one point (re: for like 3 years) backed him and told the British to accept and agreement and move on.
But Mossedegh fucked around on the issue continuously, rescinding offers he made, so he could hold onto power.
Mossadegh recieves the most underserved admiration of the 20th century, except for Maybe Hallie Selasie.
What lessons are there to be learned from the Prussian military that still apply today? Is there anything they did better than we do now?
>>1072763
No, tech mastery and mitigation of information overrule mass maneuver which is what they excelled at.
>>1072763
>Is there anything they did better than we do now?
Convince the average person that joining the military is a good idea.

Was wondering, was Caesar actually raped by a guy/kid?
>>1072653
>>1072653
I mean, it was super common (especially in the aristocracy) for a kid's political mentor to buttfuck him on occasion.
Julius Caesar was shit on in the press for being the "queen of Bithynia", whether or not he was anally penetrated is something for a detective.
But no, the modern spartacus is about 9000% bullshit
Sorry is this board isnt the place for this thread, but I think maybe you guys can help.
I just bought an illustrated leaf from XIV century in a garage sale, about $ 10. So guys tell me, are those things as expensive as $10, or did the girl who sold it to me scam me. I glued the leaf on my room, it's not like I'm taking it back to that bitch, but still i want to know. She was kind of hot though.

He was talking about the """""theory""""" of the forms.
Which basically says that reality is an imperfect reflection of some ontological perfect form of a concept like shadows on the wall of a cave.
This is what Plato actually believes.
Why do Marxists make such great historiographers?
>>1072451
Marxism is the political ideology most obsessed with history, the historical process and ways of thinking about history.
They don't

Isn't it funny how socialist anarchists always make fun of ancaps? I think it's because anarchocapitalism is the only ideology more stupid that socialism.
>>1072190
I think there's a general stupidity with anarchy, because states will naturally form in a power vacuum, since there's simply a tendency to do so.
The thing with socialist anarchy is you can barely justify it by saying people would not accept someone trying to take power and would band together to nip it in the bud. Barely. That's assuming everyone is on the same page.
With ancap, the mentality is that it's perfectly acceptable for someone to start consolidating power. The line is drawn farther at trying to start a coercive state. So even if everyone is on the same page about government being bad, by the time they band together, power has already been consolidated.

Has any nation risen from such irrelevance to such dominance as the United States did pre and post world wars in such a short period?
We didn't so much rise out of irrelevance as we did reverse our former isolationist position. There's a huge difference.
The funniest thing about it is that the Americans were never aiming towards becoming a world superpower. They reached it as a side-effect of being decent, likeable people worthy of trust. Americans are peace-loving people by nature.
>>1072100
Basically this, america had one of the largest economies in the world since the late 1800's
