Holy shit /his/, I've spent the last week and a half looking for a good WW2 Pacific Theatre documentary and everything I've found is ether wrong, biased, or shit beyond compare. What would /his/torians consider the best documentaries for this part of the war?
Define "biased"
>>912385
There was one "documentary" that just blantently made the USS Enterprise look like the goddamn messiah of the war, and equated its presence anywhere as the reason of victory, needless to say it got old fast.
>>912369
You may check if BBC doesn't have something on it but it'll have focus on Burma and Malayas which may not be to your liking.
>>912389
I can recommend you "Keep the Battleship Advantage", by William Steerman but it's a book and it is biased in the other-way round(not even close to what you're saying though) but if you use it as a point of comparison with the CV messianic narrative you'll get a proper picture of naval conflicts in the first half of 20th century.
If this thread get's off the ground, I'll make it a series.
Basically, what you do is search for crushing victory for a specified nation. We'll start with Britain.
Easy mode: Victory can be won by any of the three British nations (England, Scotland, Wales) but no Ireland.
Hard mode: Only by a unified Britain.
I'll start with an obvious one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Armada
Tomorrow we'll do France.
>>912335
>doesn't even post the hard mode version
kek https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Trafalgar
>>912339
Well, I think the Battle of Gravelines was a more impressive feet, even if the Spanish did something very similar not too long later with the roles reversed.
At Trafalgar, the British ships and crew simply outclassed anything the Franco-Spanish fleet had. While at Gravelines, the English were outnumbered, and the Spanish had larger ships.
Does anyone here have a degree in World History and U.S. History? What job do you have? Do you like it?
I work at KFC for the last ~5 years.
I like it, it's better than than at Burger King, where I used to work before that. My boss is pretty cool too, let's us take 10 minutes cigarette breaks when it's not too busy.
I also got back together with my ex, so I gotta say, all in all I'm happy with my life.
Given that the army of Imperial Germany was basically all of the ground forces of every German-speaking nation-state after the Franco-Prussian War, would the Prussian Musketeer (Musketier) be the Prussian equivalent of a buck private?
>>912277
>would the Prussian Musketeer (Musketier) be the Prussian equivalent of a buck private?
One equivalent:
Grenadier, Füsilier, Jäger, Musketier, Gardist, Infanterist, Soldat, Pionier
Who are the most important philosophers to read in order to fully understand conservative philosophy, and in what order should I read them?
>>912275
Start with Burke, go backwards and forwards from there.
I'm looking for a mention in some author, perhaps Thucydides or Herodotus --- although I could be deeply mistaken, and the man in question may range from Lucian to Plutarch ---, speaking of a statue of Venus being worshipped somewhere in Greece, which was nothing but a single column of black stone.
>>912222
Feel free to use this thread to discuss the theological implications behind the worship of statues in Ancient Greece. Spengler spoke in the deepest manners about the difference between the understanding of statuary, especially divine, from Classical Greece to neoplatonicians. See Porphyr.
Representing heads, --- and busts! --- why not err further and put a goat's head on your gods, too?
The roman plastic arts, by the first century AD, had reached complete deliquescence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paphos#New_Paphos
>Tacitus (Hist. ii. 2, 3) records a visit of the youthful Titus to Paphos before he acceded to the empire, who inquired with much curiosity into its history and antiquities. (Cf. Suetonius Titus c. 5.) Under this name the historian doubtless included the ancient as well as the more modern city: and among other traits of the worship of the temple he records, with something like surprise, that the only image of the goddess was a pyramidal stone – a relic, doubtless of Phoenician origin.
A question for experts on Roman history:
The senate of Rome used the rebellion of Vindex to remove Nero, but was the senate involved in the formation of the rebellion or was it just a lucky chance for the senators ?
Is that a bust of Chris Farley?
DAE think HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE was greatest of all empires
I never heard about it until the memes.

What is the secular interpretation of missionaries? Why would you send your most fit and eloquent members of society away from your country to risk being murdered by foreigners, and come home to find the most attractive brides already wed?
To tell people about a 2000 year old Greek fanfiction of a even more ancient Egyptian/Babylonian fanfiction.
Also like Hospitals or something.

>most fit and eloquent
What?
Are you going to claim celibate priests are "most fit and eloquent" next?
ITT: Post interesting history related things you recently found out about.
Pic related. Seems like a cool guy.
>>911327
Peter the Great met with the Archbishop of Canterbury when he was in England. The Archbishop was apparently interested in a possible union of the Anglican and Russian Orthodox Church.
Never could have happened, very interesting, though.

>30 January 1938 in a nationalist "Wilno Journal", Stanisław Cywiński wrote following sentence in a review of Melchior Wańkowicz's book: "Wańkowicz[...] disproves the words of one cabotine, who claimed that Poland is like a bagel - what's only worth, is on the sides". The cabotine, he was reffering to, was obviosly Józef Piłsudski.
>While the review slipped through censorship, however, an article in Sanation's "Nation & State" newspaper claimed, that Cywiński has insulted the memory of Piłsudski. The asme article was read by the Wilno Inspector of Army, Dąb-Biernacki, who ordered all the officers from 1st Infantry Regiment to find and punish Cywiński for that.
>Cywiński was found in his bed, sick. The officers beat him to unconciousness, which resulted in him losing an eye and also having his ribs broken. All of this was witnessed by his wife and daughter.
>Another group of officers entered "Wilno Journal" 's HQ and proceeded to demolish it. Zwierzyński, editor-in-chief was beaten with a revolver, as well as the janitors, other editors and the landlord.
Zwierzyński and Cywiński was arrested and sentenced to 1,5 and 3 years of prison each. Their lawyers were also put on trial, but outbreak of war ended it prematurely. Cywiński was captured in 1940 by the Soviets and died one year later in Tatarstan.
Otto Skorzeny worked for the Mossad post-war. Didn't know that,
So /his/,
I've got a 12 page term paper due in 4 weeks.
The class is U.S. History from precolonial up to Reconstruction post civil war.
The research paper can be on any topic so long as it pertains to U.S. History and is in the time frame.
What do you guys think would make the best research topic?
The Atlantic relations during the Napoleonic Wars
More so focused on American-French and American-British relations during that era
Any lingering effects of war from your countries? Any relations between ethnicity, citizen, or minority groups still unrecoverable even after decades?
Why can't people move on, when it wasn't them who experienced shit first-hand /his/?
Literally memes.
Even though a generation completely dies out, they had offspring that they taught. Even if the offspring never directly experienced the war, they were shaped by those that did. A thought can linger for many generations, some for hundreds of years or even millennia.
>>911108
some people claim there is 'generation memory'
The USA is currently seeing a cultural divide of it's veterans, who are becoming increasingly insular, protectionist to their own, and bitter.
It's forming a counterculture, to say the least.
>I always have a problem liking things that I'm told I should like. This has been the problem with most of the Wonders I have seen so far. The fact that this one is called the 'Great' Wall of China annoys me. I'll decide if it's great or not. It might end up being the 'All Right Wall of China' to me.
Beats Zizek.
