The Aforementioned treaty heavily restricted BB CA and CL as well as the Nelson class (called the "cherry tree class" because it was cut down by Washington)
The treaty is largely responsible for the creation of the U.S. carrier fleet
What would have happened if the treaty was never signed, namely WWII, especially Modway?
Midway could easily have been lost due to the Japanese out gunning the U.S. With the largest battleship ever constructed and an overall better surface fleet

With the treaty not being signed you would see a more pacific focused war from the onset by america. American's were restricted from fortifying pacific bases and was very much restrained by the ration put in place by the treaty.
That being said it is impossible to know if the American government would have invested more in the pacific, or if the Japanese economy could have afforded any more production of warships. Any naval ships they would have made would have without a doubt crippled them the further into the war they went.
Japan would be even more screwed. Both America and Britain could outproduce Japan at a much greater rate than 5:5:3. If they both pursued more active building programs, with more and better ships, it wouldn't have been pretty for the IJN.
Let's play a gams: ITT, we post info about an obscure historical person from your country -but of course not his name-, and other anon tries to guess the country. Extra point for guessing the name of the historical figure. I'll start...
>fight in the opium wars
>then in your country, go to another war against a neighbor
>invade your neighbor's capital
>find Chinese slaves there
>having learnt Chinese in the opium wars, speak to the Chinese and liberate them
>they fight for you
>win the war and govern the enemy country's capital

He fought the french in 1302, was imprisoned before that but one of his good friends switched places for him in prison (must've been awesome being high nobility in the middle ages) . His coat of arms is still the coat of arms of ~ half of the country

I was going to make a post about multiculturalism but I kept questioning myself what I really meant by what I asked. So how do people researching in multiculturalism conduct qualitative research. What do you even measure. When someone claim that one place is more multicultural than the other, what did he mean by this?
I post it here since the humanities are the disciplines that study human cultures. And pls don't bother with if multiculturalism is good or bad, that isn't relevant in the slightest to what I'm asking.
I guess you measure it relative to the social/cultural norms of the whatever time you are researching, which is pretty hard to do considering we generally know next to jack shit about social/cultural norms the further you look back.
"Multiculturalism" is often just a buzzword used by pundits and PR reps to sell immigration to the voting public for the purpose of fueling our GDP myopic drive towards infinite growth.
>>962960
>What do you even measure
The answer is so obvious I think I may have misunderstood the question but it goes something along the lines of
>number of religions
>number of different ethnicities/races
>number of different cultures
>the amount of or lack of ethnic, racial, cultural tensions (amount having inverse relationship with multiculturality)
>inclusion of all of said ethnics, races and cultures in the political/social/cultural life
P.S. multiculturalism sucks ass.
How do people come up with new military strategies?
I assume they don't think of random shit in bed and hope for the best during the actual battle
>>962641
because every once in a while, someone or something comes along and changes the game, and everyone must fallow suit or die. guns becoming powerful, some genius,
Very interesting question. Humans are innovative by nature, and I guess when you get a particularly innovative guy, or someone who has one good idea, and combine that with experience and leadership potential, new strategies are developed. Also, strategies are tested and honed in a back-and-forth contest between adversaries, and the strongest strategies are continued and further innovated on.

This.
It's a general constant state of seeking weaknesses to exploit. If one tool comes around that changes the limit of what can be done, the rest eventually adapt.
What's a good way to learn to read Latin fluently?
My university doesn't offer Latin as a foreign language, and I've never had a formal class about the language.
Im a total beginner
>>962223
The same way you'd learn a romance language today, starting with gender, conjugation and case then slowly branching out into vocabulary
try the CSCP course from Cambridge, it works fabulously

What were historical sites of greatest mass rapes besides Berlin and Nanking?
>>960837

>>960837
A lot of premodern wars I suppose.
Also those sick shit that gone down in Africa. The Rwandan Genocide included more than just killing you know.
>>960837
The fall of Constantinople apparently had a lot of rape after the ottomans took the city.
Why is WW2 so fucking interesting?
It has it all

>genocide
>generals with their own faults and personalities
>desperate fight for survival from various sides
>iconic weapons
>changed the course of history and modern world
>>958617
Maybe because its the largest war ever fought you fucking moron
>>958617
It's important to you because a: your country was in it, and it was likely the last time your country was in a real big war
B:you are told it's important because the U.S. Has been milking WW2 political capital since it got in. It was also a result of this was specifically that the U.S. Became the most powerful nation on earth and so it is historically important but emotionally important because so long as the memory of surging ahead of the rest of the world is kept fresh in their minds, the ruling class/the inherently selfish democratic majority aren't faced with making any real leaps forward. The Cold War did its thing, but that's it, cold. All anxiety and none of the remembering of humanity that comes from war. But you notice how the great leaps of humanity always come out of conflict? It's not like we aren't capable of amicable cooperation, and yet that's not what we, as capitalist individualists, seem to do on large scales. I don't think that particular problem is as much about our nature as our culture.

What would /his/ say was the most brutal genocide/ethnic cleansing/massacre?
I'd say the Turkish Genocide of the Greeks, Armenians and Pontic Greeks with the associated cultural cleansing during the 20th century. A region that had been inhabited for thousands of years by them was denuded of them almost totally within a few months. Even in the 1970s the Turks forced the last remaining Greeks in their borders to leave by pressuring them to transfer from Tenedos and Imbros across the Aegean. There is nothing that needs to be said about the Armenians aside from just look at map of their old homeland and a map of Turkey's modern borders.
In terms of actual brutality it's going to be the Cambodian one, but who gives a fuck about that.

Are "human rights" a spook?
Obviously.
Yes because they vary between cultures and ideologies.
>>941230
How would you not make them spooks.
What if Constantinople didn't fall?
Let's say they managed to defeat the Turks, holding Greece, Wallachia, Serbia, Albania and Anatolia as their territorries.
How different would things have been?
>>964704
they get fucked soon after. they were already a sinking ship
>>964704
For Byzantium to survive, they need to stop Constantinople from being sacked by the Crusaders in 1204 and at some point regain all of western Asia Minor. Plus they constantly have to check their northern borders from emerging powers like Hungary, Serbia and Bulgaria.
Overall pretty damn difficult to pull.
>>964704
If the Ottomans didn't get them the Russians, Venicians, or Spanish probably would have. You would need to go back a hundred years or so and make radical changes to the political structure if your aim is to save the Byzantine empire.
Was the city of Rome really such a disease-ridden cesspit as it is usually depicted?

What is the 'it' that makes a psychopath either become a contract killer or a high-end politician, even a president?
I have though about it for atleast 2 weeks, listened some audiobooks etc. Those said it is just the place and family you grow up with: in a poor smart family - you want to have money, so youll go the legal way. In a poor family - come intouc with illegal stuff from the beginning of your life and so you choose the bad way.
On the pic is a psychopath

Well, he wasn't put into some mental hospital, that's right. But the thing is he had many common traits with criminals, as for example - Josef Mengele. In the position of a president, he couldnt possibly tell anyone he's a psychopath.
