Probably the Times ran a trend piece on the so called "Summer of Love" that all the kids were talking about, and then everyone was stuck talking about it for twenty years or so because news was slow back in the day

Huns are to a major extent a meme, their 'empire' was never even half that large at its largest.

But they did unite Europe.

Rome joined with their mortal rivals to fight the Huns in 451.

>>930277
The West needs new Huns.

As it was found. The site in Syria was destroyed by ISIS.

I'm guessing there was a metal boss or something where that hole is?

Also, how much uniformity in equipment/decoration was there that we're aware of? I've seen helmets with little metal ornamentations that the owner would have gotten custom made at heavy expense.

>How were Muslim-Christian relations like historically in most countries of the world?

You'd need to write a book to answer this question properly, but - generally speaking - relations were civil. Trade between the two civilisations was ubiquitous, and major cities held populations of both religions without trouble (unless they were being stirred up by a specific event).

This.

Goring before he was kicked out of the party, Donitz and Goebbels after that.

Eh, probably Goring? All the major Nazis that could have taken over for Hitler all had their own terrible flaws that would have left them weak and vulnerable.

He was probably the most cold blooded and badass nazi

Imagine if he was führer

>>928397

Karl Donitz

but he made clear in his suicide note Dr. Goebbels would be his succesor since he was his closest friend.

>>928406
>Goring
what a funny story, when Goring heard rumors that Hitler might commit suicide if allied troops got too far into Germany, he wrote him a letter. So Hitler opens it up expecting "DONT DO IT MEIN FUHRER!" but it was just Goring saying "hey, can I have your country after you kill yourself?"

burke's a liberal, opposed french revolution on the grounds that ir violated property rights. Conservatives adopted some of his ideas, but I think they misunderstand him. Regardless, I'd recommend GK Chesterton, Christopher Lasch and Phillip Rieff

>>929239
Modern conservatism is just a branch off of old school Liberalism. Don't let the names fool ya.

Roger Scruton, Michael Oakeshott, George Grant

they did but it usually didn't work because they lacked organization and concentration of power. Also slavery is such a broad term it refer to many things. The worst type of slavery came from societies that would have large influxes of slave regularly like late roman republic because the slaves were so cheap you really didn't need to keep them alive or healthy

>>945064
Carrot and the stick.

Some slaves were allowed to save money to buy their freedom and it is conceivable that, although slaves and slave owners were unequal, they had some sort of understanding. Or Stockholm syndrome

Better question is why the proletariat isn't rising up.

>>945064
there were slave revolts though. course they weren't successful and all got shot. in order to have success you'd need to be able to get a hold of a substantial number of guns, ammo, powder. no reason to revolt if you can't defend yourself and all of you are just going to get mowed down

>>943108
No

No real experience in ocean navigation, the Mediterranean sea wasn't going to be the center of the world much longer, the capital to reprogram all the shipbuilding for oceanic travel wasn't there, the usual suspects could put a blockade on the strait of Gibraltar if they wanted to, etc.

>Venice fell

yeah, significant would be a proper word

That's where history started.
It was out of need, convenience and a good context that the basics of human society were born. There, in the fertile crescent.
The first villages, towns, cities.
A rudimentally organized society with roles divided by gender, age, physical phenotypes.
The beggining of the economies: the idea of trading things for one another, and later on, creating money to make that more convenient.
The greatest discovery ever, agriculture, and how to stop being a retarded mongrel nomad.
The first governments, the first laws, the first police. An army to protect the city.
Cities that, along time, due to geographical and genetic traits, develop their own culture.
And when they realize they're like other cities, a nation is formed.
So many things that we still have to this day come from that time.
I daresay, if you genuinely want to understand today's world, why things are the way they are, the fertile crescent, at the time it was significant, as you say it, is 90% of the deal.

Nah

He also espoused shaking your fucking teapot around before pouring.

>>945527
I guess he's saying that its wrong to assume Latin and Greek are objectively better than Germanic words just because they had great and famous cultures, that Germanic words can be just as beautiful and useful.

>>945527
He meant that a lot of people think words of Latin or Greek origin are somehow better than Germanic words
It seems pretty straightforward desu

Have none, but bump.

Didn't the Battle of Britain prove the RAF was superior to the Lufftwaffe?

>>945432

Did the complete ineffectiveness of RAF raids over Germany in 1940-41 prove the Luftwaffe was superior to the RAF?
