Did soldiers of ancient battles get ptsd? Or medieval or renaissance times warriors? Or is ptsd a modern warfare phenomenon?

Yes. Shakespeare's Hotspur clearly has it, as do several ancient heroes.

What would the world be like today if "Communism" had continued to spread and the U.S. hadn't have intervened? Which nations would still be Capitalist, and which nations would still be "Socialist"?

Would all of Africa and South America have adopted Marx if Guevara was never killed? Would South Korea be Socialist and possibly Japan and all of the Southern Asiatic nations?

By 2016? All countries would be "capitalist" as every Communist nation would ditch Marxism by now or have collapsed.

If we're taking US Intervention literally, the USSR wouldn't have survived WWII (No US Intervention means no US feeding the USSR, arming it, and funding it to stop Hitler). If we take "no intervention" even further the USSR doesn't even form because Britain and Germany don't fund Trotsky and Lenin.

Is anyone else utterly unconvinced by the idea that the middle east would be peaceful if states were created along "natural" borders after WW1? Considering the amount of mixed ethnic areas, especially in big cities, surely there'd still be ethnic conflict. And even if the resulting states were fairly homogenous, an ethnic group happening to sit on a lot of resources will cause inter-state ethnic violence. The middle east would still be violent but in a different way.

It's about more than just natural borders, but the administrative system in each state. The issue with the borders today is that they were drawn at the political convenience of London and Paris, which delegated their rule to their outposts in Damascus and Baghdad.

London and Paris came to dominate their respective nations through several centuries of political, cultural, economic, and military influence, but Damascus and Baghdad spent most of that same time as one of several competing cities all serving distant masters in Turkey, and later Europe.

So rather than leave behind a federal system like the U.S. where each state in the union handles its own affairs, the French and the British made nation-states in their own image where one capital city bent all others to its will.

This worked in smaller sized states like Jordan, where the capital was the nation more or less, but in Syria you have Damascus, Homs/Hama, Aleppo, and Raqqa and Deir-ez-zor, all cities that could be capitals in their own right but suddenly had to bow to the will of Damascus and its political elite. Same thing with Iraq. Strongarm dictators forced the arrangement to work with lots of bloodshed and under the table dealing, but now it's impossible.

The question isn't whether it would eradicate violence, its would it be better or worse than it is right now? Considering that much of the conflicts are over land and territory, yes.

He is usually portrait as the worst character in the argentinian coup d'État but that is becouse this guy wasn't corrupt, argentinians tend to go hard on those people. He did terrible things but he believed in them and in his trials he estated that he didn't regret what he did, unlike Massera who was a miserable coward and a psycopath. The real worst character of this period, but he was a friend of Peron, corrupt, just like argentinians like them

Can you recommend me some books about the relationship between Germany and Poland between the end of WW1 and the invasion in 1939 that led to WW2?
I would like to understand more about what led Hitler to invade Poland.

Also:
What I heard about was that Germans(Volksdeutsche) have been persecuted in Poland, have been treated really bad in general and lots of them, mainly POWs of WW1, have been put into Polish labour camps.
Is there any reliable sources for this? If I remember correctly I think I heard that German historian Gerd Schultze-Rhonhof (pretty reliable and professional historian) supports this claims.
Anyone knows more about this?

PS: I am German so I'm fine with books that are only available in German.

Try Der Grosse Wendig OP, it has sources galore (like seriously it's literally shitting sources all over you on every single page, it's an amazing work of literature really) and teaches you most of the important basic stuff you need to know
>>
Schultze-Rhonhoff is a problematic source. Even the FAZ dubs him a revisionist.
The Bromberger Blutsonntag only occured after the Invasion of Poland started.
I have no idea how credible this i
http://www.zvab.com/Dokumente-polnischer-Grausamkeit-Auftrag-Ausw%C3%A4rtigen-Amtes/15682738436/buch
It's most certainly not a neutral source but it should cover at least parts of your question.

he Germans wanted back the German territory which had been taken away from Germany and given to Poland at the end of the First World War. But when the Germans, under Hitler, began taking back that territory, in September 1939, Britain and France declared war on Germany, ostensibly to protect the freedom of Poland. The Germans had done nothing against Britain and France and wanted very much to remain at peace with those countries, but the politicians of Britain and France had other considerations.

he fact that the Soviet Union also invaded Poland in September 1939 was all right with Britain and France. They didn't declare war on the Soviet Union, because the Soviet Union was for all practical purposes under Jewish rule. They did declare war on Germany, because Germany, under Hitler, had broken loose from the grip of the Jews, had freed the German media and German education and German finance and German politics and German culture from Jewish influence, and was in the process of kicking all of the Jews out of Germany. That was the reason for the Second World War, not Polish freedom or Polish territorial integrity. That was the reason why, when in April 1943 the German Army discovered the mass graves of some of the 25,000 Polish officers and intellectuals murdered by Jewish communists and invited the International Red Cross and journalists from many nations to view the evidence, the controlled media in Britain and the United States ignored the evidence and blamed the atrocity on the Germans. That was the reason why, at the end of the war, those countries that had gone to war ostensibly to insure the freedom of Poland agreed to turn Poland and Latvia and Hungary and the rest of eastern Europe over to the communist butchers who had carried out the massacre of the elite of the Polish nation.

>Ancient Egypt ended when the Romans conquered it

Why do people think this? Ptolemaic Egypt was a Greek Kingdom ruled by Greeks, Ancient Egypt as we know it had been long gone for centuries by that point.

Because people are uneducated?

Though really I think it's because after the Romans the Egyptians would never be ruled by another Pharaoh, and the old Egyptian bureaucracy was slowly eroded away until it had been replaced by a Roman one, and these were basically the last vestiges of the old Egyptian system we all know so well.
>>
>Ptolemaic Egypt was a Greek Kingdom ruled by Greeks

The Greeks conquered Egypt and became it's ruling class but the culture of Egypt conquered the hearts of the Greeks. Ptolemaic kings of Egypt only lived like Greeks for a few generations before succumbing to the Egyptian style of living and ruling iirc.
>>
>>904665

The Ptolemies dressed like Egyptians, committed incest like Egyptians, worshiped Egyptian gods, and walked like Egyptians.

Ok, anons, I believe in the Creator, but how do I know if he's a person or a lifeless being? Life, intelligence and personality exists in the Universe, ok, but I don't think the fact that life exists and Humans have intelligence and personality
necessarily implies that the Creator has these same qualities too, even remotely.

God is the name people give to the infinite and mysterious authority that reigns over reality, and I can accept that.

what

there was a big bang probably because of francium, everything came into fruition from that.

god is literally just an explanation of the unknown from many many years ago when people were a lot more primitive. god doesn't not exist, it is a figment of imagination, there's zero chance of any star-man being in charge of the universe.

>>909102
I have. I am generally not a fan of analytic philosophy, but one research program that I think has borne fruit is metaethics. I believe the greatest insights in this field have come from non-cognitivists. Non-cognitivists argue, basically, that moral discourse is not a truth-seeking discourse. This is a great insight because it moves us past the useless question of, "what moral system is correct?" to the real moral question: "what shall we do?"
