The same way they're dying today, the population starts to speak another language more frequently, usually a lingua franca, until the old language is marginalised and eventually disappears. European mainlanders don't realise it, but their languages are already dying. The Dutch, Swedes and Norwegians seem to speak English 50% of the time even amongst themselves.

>The Dutch, Swedes and Norwegians seem to speak English 50% of the time even amongst themselves.

What? I honestly doubt this.

Short answer: Nobody knows.

Long answer: Probably some combination of natural disasters and economic problems leading to a period of weakness, during which illiterate cultures on the periphery of civilization engaged in unchecked raiding, migration, and conquest.

>What caused the Bronze Age Collapse and subsequent Greek Dark Ages?

Inept archaeologists, and lying historians.

Everything went wrong at once, most likely.

States weakened by natural disasters and invasion were doubly crippled by their over dependence on one another.

I read Agincourt by Bernard something or other about a year ago. A friend gave it to me and suggested his Anglo Saxon chronicles.

>"The Holy Roman Empire was, according to Voltaire, neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire. But it was long-lived, complex, brutal, important, and fascinating, as is evident from the reading of this notable work"

I just read a good one called Black Robe. About a Jesuit priest in Canada in the 1600s who cannot stand the wilderness or Indians but is super devoted and won't give up his mission.

It's pretty dark, lots of Mohawk savagery and torture, and does a good job making the Indians relatable (to the reader, not the protaganist) but not putting Native American culture on a pedestal. He translates the indian speech in a really funny and ignoble way too.

His views changed over time, he didn't believe in keeping a static opinion, open minded i guess. He wasnt actually very old either.

Did he ever criticized dekulakization, though? I don't remember a single left-wing intellectual who did it.

> It seens like the "anti-authoritarian left" is only anti-authoritarian when the authoritarianism of leftist regimes are directed against left-wing victims.
Well, yeah. That's what makes them left-wing.

>According to Lord Thomas, a combination of Spanish conquistadors and missionaries, led by a remarkable character named Lopez de Legazpi, proposed to use the new Spanish colony of the Philippines as the launch-pad for a Spanish and Christian takeover of China”an ambition they styled la empresa de China , “the China Project.” The “’project” fired the imaginations of Legazpi’s successors, who pressed the Spanish monarch, Philip II, for permission to bring China under Spanish control. Philip, whom Hugh Thomas styles “the Great Procrastinator,” dithered, being preoccupied with rebellion in the Spanish Netherlands, and eventually cooled to the idea.

No, any strong, simplistic characterizations of historical figures are inaccurate, no exceptions OP.
Additionally fact, The Borgias was filled with people trying to do the right thing, with their own moral compasses and principles.

don't be a dick. We can ask about history books on /his/.

It's sad how you cannot totally believe almost anything we know about the lives of relevant Romans because it was most probably just factional propaganda and juicy false rumors.

There's no honor in getting yourself killed.

Yes, but denying the bravery in risking your life is rather insulting to the men who paid the ultimate price.
