>How was he as a general, really?

The Revolutionaries got wrecked in most battles against the Brits. The victory was more of a logistic strategy. Its why the Brits just invaded again in 1812.

Much of the love and admiration for Washington seems to be based upon the fact that he was a genuinely moral man, an impression that was enhanced by the fact that he was very handsome, tall, and strong looking in his younger years. Modern scholarship downplays the importance of his military prowess in favor of emphasizing diplomacy and French aid but if he hadn't been so skillful at evading confrontation and dragging things out there never would have been a French alliance.

He won the war and was universally beloved.

That ought to tell you everything you need to know about how he was as a general and statesman.

The Orthodox never subscribed to it. Saint Augustine was wrong on a lot of things. He was also a Nestorian, for instance.

>Solomon's empire is said to have stretched from the Euphrates in the north to the Red Sea in the south; it would have required a large commitment of men and arms and a high level of organization to conquer, subdue, and govern this area. But there is little archaeological evidence of Jerusalem being a sufficiently large city in the 10th century BCE, and Judah seems to be sparsely settled in that time period.
>There is a problem with the sources for this period of history (the United Monarchy). There are no contemporary independent documents: the Books of Samuel exhibits too many anachronisms to have been a contemporary account. For example, there is mention of later armor (1 Samuel 17:4–7, 38–39; 25:13), use of camels (1 Samuel 30:17), and cavalry (as distinct from chariotry) (1 Samuel 13:5, 2 Samuel 1:6), iron picks and axes (as though they were common) (2 Samuel 12:31), sophisticated siege techniques (2 Samuel 20:15). There is a gargantuan troop (2 Samuel 17:1), a battle with 20,000 casualties (2 Samuel 18:7), and a reference to Kushite paramilitary and servants, clearly giving evidence of a date in which Kushites were common, after the 26th Dynasty of Egypt, the period of the last quarter of the 8th century BCE.
>The historicity of the Book of Samuel is dubious, and many scholars regard it as legendary in origin, particularly given the lack of evidence for the battles described involving the destruction of the Canaanite peoples (most scholars believe that the Israelites actually emerged Canaan in a relatively peaceful manner, themselves an offshoot from the Canaanites)

The swiss popularized the use of trained pike formations over feudal levies during the Burgundian wars in the 1470's

This led to the rise of semi professional armies by the time the French invaded Italy in the 1490's.

>>1074421
The Scots, Flemish and brabançonne people had pikes. So i'd say your thesis is fundamentally flawed.

On top of that what >>1074466 says is partially true, the Swiss were decentralized compared to their neighbours yet they popularized pike squares. It's probably good to note that they copied the pike from Austrian and Italian men-at-arms/Knights who have them a hard time occasionally.

Because it wasn't hugely necessary until cavalry became as big a factor as it did in the later Middle Ages.
And then once people started noticing its effectiveness the 1500s hit and everyone went full antiquiboo and started fancying themselves modern Romans and Alexanders.

Believe it or not, Haiti (known as saint domingue) was the single richest colony of the 18ty century. It was the single largest producer of sugar in the world, the third largest producer of coffee , and a significant indigo and cotton producer. The colonial trade with the colony also was responsible for 1/8 of the jobs in france.

I've gone to vacation twice in Punta Kana in the Dominican Republic. Which is a beautiful and opulent styled resort town. But the regular cities are also pretty shitty.

Haiti isn't really any worse then the Dominican Republic.

That "if a tree falls" thread was a pretty good argument for philosophy being pointless.

In the western world, nobody except for autists has since the Great Depression. Even the parties calling themselves socialist have no intention of seizing the means of production or abolishing private property.

Pro:
It's fun.
You can think differently about things.
Get into arguments.

Cons:
Distracts you from getting work done.
Tricks you into thinking you are smart.

Depends what you can get. Analytic or continental. Just finishing my BA in analytic philosophy (predicate logic FTW) and going on to MA in continental philosophy, for the fuck of it. In either case as a study its overrated. Except 1st order logic and cognitivism, you'll want to shoot yourself because of all the old fags like Plato, Aristotle and Socrates.
