Amazing and highly underrated in its importance.

Nigger what?

>>1084207
Yes. Protip: Herder thought up evolution before Darwin.

>>1082621

Yes, the New Testament was widely printed.

When the second verse of your first book is a misquote of an easily available text though, you don't get to claim it's reliable.

Not without naval superiority in WW1, or naval/air superiority in WW2, at which point you're probably easier off just jumping into southern England directly.

In earlier times, it was attempted. Several of the Spanish attempts to put deposed monarchs back on the throne went through Ireland.

Also if the French incursions in 1798 were successful could France have invaded the UK from Ireland

No, the RN was too dominant and had better officers.

>>1078528
Please clarify.
Are you referring to "Shock Armies" or to some small tactical units?

guns and bombs

>>1078528
Do you mean "strom groups" (attack groups) for urban fighting?

>>1074226
It brought Napoléon Bonaparte, so it was worth it in the end.

>>1074226
Countries don't experience "good" or "bad."

It was the beginning of the end for the west.

He's right, though. Renaissance? What 'Reinassance'? This rebirth was mostly focused on the Italian city-states, and it does not imply some kind of sudden revolution in art or philosophy or the sciences that everyone thinks occurred. I'd argue the 'Renaissance' was actually even more bleak, violent, and terrible than the Middle Ages

>>1083331
The first statement makes a good point

But the second, no

General question: What impact did Zoroastrianism have on religions of the time? I know there's something about the good/evil dichotomy in Christianity that was related and I've heard Hinduism had devas as good and asuras as bad while Zoroastrianism had it reversed.

>>1070763
Which period are you talking about?

In its early periods, the main relgions were Paganism, Egyptian, Vedic, and Greek.

Zoroastrianism had roots in original Indo-European traditions and rites. That's why Vedism or Hinduism share some similarities. They're primarily cultural and linguistic. However, I believe Zoroaster set to establish differences between the two. That's why there are contradictions (as you mentioned)

>>1070811
I was just interested in what Devas and Asuras represented in Zoroastrianism. I've seen some websites that say Devas were elemental/war gods while Asuras were gods of higher human qualities, but then again those websites seemed pretty suspect.
Gods like Mitra being present all the way from India to the Romans makes me think there was some proto-iranic religion that eventually gave birth to Vedism and Zoroastrianism.

The same way poles win all wars
We're men and we're willing to die for our country

>>1075001
Breaking the Soviet codes. That played a huge part in winning the war.

And the Poles were fighting for their nationhood after centuries of foreign domination, they were totally united and hellbent on thwarting the Soviets.

>>1075189
>poles win all wars
Daily reminder, the war was primarily about control of Ukraine and Belorus which Russia won

>Wouldn't it be better for Greeks to submit under Persian rule in 480BC?
Why of course

>>1076716
>paying taxes to get protection = being a slave
Besides, most of Greek cities payed such taxes to Athens or Sparta, it would be no difference from them, well, except for elimitanting the risk of raiding or pillaging by the other power block.

I mean, in the long run, Athens caused a lot more damage to Greece and Greeks than Persians ever did.
