Hey... you know... like some people... LIKED having a monarch.
Imagine that.
Some people like something different than you.

Vast majority of people actually. OP is a low IQ whiggish retard.

Yes, and? I'm asking what the casus belli was. France wasn't invading other countries and toppling governments. There was no excuse for the war other than monarchs telling their subjects that they didn't want them listening to French ideas. That's a pretty sucky casus belli.

The picture doesn't do it justice. It's a truly massive and imposing structure when seen in person.

>Why does it seemingly get significantly less attention than other civil wars in in major countrise.

Because it happened immediately before the largest conflict the world has ever seen, which tends to overshadow it quite a bit

>>Was it really the first large scale use of WWII-era fighter planes and tactics?

Pretty much, yes.

>Why didn't the Spanish join in to help the Axis during WWII?

Partially because Franco was a fairly shrewd politician who didn't want to get too involved in the war unless he was 100% sure it was winnable (though he did send about a division's worth of men to fight for the Germans), and partially because Spain was just barely out of civil war in 1939, and therefore on fairly shaky footing. Getting involved in the war was basically inviting the Allies to start supporting any and all resistance groups in Spain, and a lot of Franco's resources (and some of Germany's too probably) would have been spent guarding its own borders and people.

This post covers it pretty well.

>Why didn't the Spanish join in to help the Axis during WWII?

To add to this they did send some volunteers to fight.


>How competitive was the war as a whole? Was there ever a legitimate chance for the Nationalists to lose?

Absolutely especially in the initial stages before the Nationalist leaders died off expect for Franco.

>How big of a role did the foreign volunteers play in the war as a whole and what major battles were they a part of?

It was mainly just a moral boost. The most important participants were the non volunteer foreigners, the Pilots and technical experts from the Soviet Union, Germany and Italy (who also helped blockade the republic and sent 50K soldiers over)

>Why does it seemingly get significantly less attention than other civil wars in in major countrise.

As mentioned previously, it was massively overshadowed by WWII which happened right after it.

>Was it really the first large scale use of WWII-era fighter planes and tactics?

Sort of. In terms of the air war, absolutely. On the ground though it was mostly infantry, not a ton of tanks.

>Why didn't the Spanish join in to help the Axis during WWII?

Spain wasn't in any position to fight against the allies after the civil war, which is the big reason. If they did, the North African and Mediterranean campaigns would have gone very differently I imagine.

>How competitive was the war as a whole? Was there ever a legitimate chance for the Nationalists to lose?

Eh, kind of, but not really. They did in the very early stages but once the Germans airlifted the Army of Africa over to Spain from Morocco, it really tipped the scales in favour of the Nationalists. Plus they had the bulk of the officer corps intact too.

Abodon as many unhodable positions as possible. Drill the armies into shape by constantly raiding the neighboring territories except Persia. Try centralizing more prestige and God like status in emperor without becoming a tyrant. Make succession laws permanent as I can.

Fun ensues. Great fun

Well operating under the assumption I'm Roman, probably rub olive oil all over my dick then fuck a child slave.

Probably yeah, considering they broke up in the end and never made up.

Hey, haven't had this thread for a while. Good on you for actually providing some discussion points, and not just making a support thread for nonces who like tugging it to the fantasy of heroically sweeping in and rescuing the princesses like what usually happens.

I'm interested as well

Depends on who's writing about him. But Claudius is generally seen as a smart guy who took advantage of his diabetes to make himself seem like he wasn't a threat (or maybe because of his disablities he really wasn't a threat) who ended up as emperor, and did a pretty good job because he was a guy of normal intelligence in a fucked up body.

He was a good emperor with some physical/mental ticks. Contemporaries couldn't get past the stuttering and the hunch back (or whatever it was) enough to give him full credit.

Why did he choose Nero over Britannicus?

I'm guessing that to qualify, the fortress needs to have been attacked at least semi-regularly over its history? Also, does starving out the defenders count?

Not talking in specific attacks, like the Siege of Candia, but in the whole history of the fort. And anything goes, so long as it got the attackers outside inside in the end.

Tang is better remembered for not losing china to the Mongols, but I see the Song as an extension of the cultural renaissance of the Tang. I like both.

honestly Pascal's wager, though I also think it's in a way the strongest. simply pointing out other religions that also claim to have the exclusive path to some type of salvation makes it collapse but I also think that it is the main thing that keeps people in their faith even when they've seen convincing arguments against it. this was true for me anyways. i was convinced that christianity was unlikely to be true long before I actually stopped believing because I couldn't stop being afraid of hell

>>966659
Pascal's Wager is the one that sticks out as being the worst argument for god.

There's quite a few bad arguments against god as well but I can't think of any one with a name.
