They did, but there wasn't much.
Plus they have shit like encomienda which is basically like a feudal fief.

There was a good thread on /r/askhistorians about this

Brits and French didn't. Spain and Portugal did. The heir of Portugal's throne is called the "Duke of Braganza" and "Prince of Brazil."

In Spain, it's a different case. Some places had governors, but places with existing elaborate Aristocratic structures (i.e. Mexico and the Philippines) saw Spaniards promoting native nobility to lesser Spanish nobility called the "Principalia."

It was daughters from these aristocratic families that many Spaniards end up marrying. Hence Mestizoness is often equated with belonging to the upper class in those societies.

Suicide. And the whole world wins.

greetings from waterloo ;)

Suppose that your morality encompasses not only your actions but the immediate effects that your actions would have on others.
So in the case of suicide, killing yourself might cause some anguish to other people as a direct result. So in that case it would be considered a moral problem.

>>1063836
What if it would bring joy to others?
Also how you evaluate the joy-misery it would entail?
Hedonistic calculus has some serious issues as a moral doctrine.

>>1063836
Everything everyone does is selfish anyway. Preventing someone from killing themself because it would hurt you is more selfish than the other way around.

>Are Christians justified in changing their views or is it just an attempt to keep their religion from being obsolete?
If you're consciously modifying your religion to make it sound less absurd, then you've already admitted defeat. You might as well just call yourself a deist at that point and declare that you follow a certain moral code because you believe that's the way things ought to be.
Obviously Christians do not want to do this because (on an individual level) it would wound their pride and possibly cause some a crisis of faith. On a greater scale it would destroy the church as a whole, which would mean massive losses of money and power for everyone involved.

>Modern Christians tend to view God as some sort abstract sustainer of reality and the biblical tales to be completely allegorical.

Are you sure about that? Such a view seems to be confined to academics or universalists

My history of East Asia teacher's surname is Shimazu. Do you think there is any chance she belongs to said clan?

You should first check out how the name is written in Japanese.

Sometimes names are spoken in the same way but written with different kanji.

I too had a Japanese friend back in college whose surname was Oda but his name was not written the same way as that of the legendary war lord (although he always used to say his grandmother was related to an actual Japanese princess or something).

Then look for ancestry and family tree. A lot of famous family trees can still be traced today, and many of the most important branches are well known to public.

Pic related would be the current Shogun should the Tokugawa restaure their domain.

In Italy, about 800 years. In Greece, well, it never was lost.

When did barrel roofed churches start being made? Around that time.

The Late Roman army was essentially Germanicized, that's why their using round shields, wearing trousers (which the earlier Romans thought were effeminate), and weilding spears.

>>1062853

>dudes in skirts thought lederhosen is effeminate

please tell us moar

what was the logic behind it?

>>1062871
Roman balls were free flowing and could grow unimpeded.

German balls were confided and smushed together

The marriage treaty made it clear that neither him nor don carlos had claim, and that he was only ceremonial. He had no power over privy council or paliament.

However, he did have a council of state. It is unknown how much power he really had under the table, but officially he had little power.

Wikipedia doesn't mention that he was consort, does it mean he was the real king?

>>1062809
He was king, but he had no real power

Americans run too dissimilar for being called a racist to buy their insult.

>Why have all attempts to create utopias inevitably failed, and almost always resulted in backlashes that were worse than the state of affairs before the utopian experiment started?

Like?

>>1062695

The paris commune springs rather readily to mind.

I would guess that it's because when any society is widely considered to be "failing" then violence and instability tends to result. A utopia is by definition a perfect or near-perfect society, so it's much easier for it to reach a stage of affairs where everyone considers it to be going down the tubes.

Consider our current society: there's no pretence that it's some perfect utopia, so when we learn about x example of it being imperfect we don't freak out and start talking about revolution, because we expect there to be a certain level of imperfection. Things would have to get really bad before large numbers of people started trying to tear the whole thing down. If you live in a "utopia", you're being sold the idea the it IS a perfect society, so when that turns out not to be the case people get very upset.

How often do Yuropers find bits of roman remains lying around? Does it ever get annoying having to deal with all the stuff the Romans left behind

>>1062605
So is it some freshly minted taxes that never got paid or something?

>>1062605
This is so weird. Giant jars filled to the brim with cash just left undisturbed and uncollected. How did the Roman Empire just forget it was due a payment from a particular province?
