OP here with some info to get the conversation going.

When the Umayyad Caliphate reached Spain, they brought their spices and other . This helped lead to Spain's unique cuisine compared to the rest of Europe. When Spanish colonists went to the Americas they brought their food with them, where it was combined with traditional cuisine there. The Spaniard were responsible to introducing the Natives to many kinds of meat.

Another example is Al Pastor meat in Mexico. This is actually something that is not Mexican despite being one of the most popular Mexican foods. Al Pastor was actually originally from Lebanon and it is similar to shwarma.

I don't have a ton of info (hence why I started the thread) but anyone that could provide examples or anything else would be much appreciated.

It is LIKELY from Lebanese immigrants

>hat would the casualties look like,

U.S./Western Allied casualties probably in the 3/4-1 million dead, with about 4 times as many wounded. Japanese casualties would probably run into the tens of millions.

This is assuming a Japanese fight to the death. Given the infrastructure damage already inflicted by the conventional bombing, Japan's railroad and canal system was in tatters, and their own government was predicting mass starvation before the end of 1945. That in all likelihood would prompt at least partial surrenders, which can change the death toll dramatically.

>would Japan be divided by the two post war Super powers.

No. The Soviets don't have a fleet in the Pacific. The only way they'd get a fleet in time is if the U.S. would lend them the boats, and it seems unlikely with the alliance already fraying over issues like China, that Truman would do such a thing, when said craft could be used to reinforce American pushes into Japan.

What was the average, everyday, Southern man in the CSA fighting for during the Civil War? I'm aware that most of them didn't own slaves, I would just like to know their psychology going into the war. Was it just pure patriotism?

Castles are heavily fortified residences, forts are purely military structures

Fort is largely military and purely military in purpose.

Castle hovers between some lord's plush mansion doubling as a military fortification.

Oh and Castles tend to be privately owned.

Fort is just a military installation.

It's hard to say who built it since it hasn't been studied enough by competent archeologists. Could have been the Jewish ancestors of the Lemba tribe.

People often view past times with reverence and envy those that lived during them. Will those of the distant future view our times in the same respect? Should we learn to embrace our time and place in this world instead of longing to live in another one?

So what armor did vikings really wear? Only one visor helmet and chainmail was found and it's speculated if the lamellar armor found in Sweden didn't belong to foreigners. Hell that one hlmet guy might buy his shit in a foreign land and be a special snowflake for all we know. Do sagas describe their gear?

A coat of mail, an iron helmet, and a shield made of ash. That's the "native" gear, anyway, but as you say they often adopted better equipment while on a-viking (especially steel swords, very rare in Scandinavia).
>>
the "Nords" faction in the game Mount&Blade: Warband gives you a pretty good idea of what gear the "vikings" wore in combat.

>>1056722
So did they found more than one coat of mail after all?

I'd say that utilitarianism, mind-body dualism, arguments for the existence of god, and logical positivism deserve a place.

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!
