I remember when I was in high school.
Allthough it sounds retarded, Wikipedia and Historical documentary movies helped me achieve who I am today..

Nowadays, there are numerous books written in a way that's light and informing for most people while keeping an interesting pace. Very readable books get published every day on either specific periods or cultures in history or the kind of book that tries to find patterns and causes throughout history in general.
Do you already have a period you are more intersted in? Go out and look on the subject, indeed even Wikipedia can be a great start.
Great books on history at large are for example the books by Jared Diamond, for example Guns, germs and steel.

Colonialism was ultimately justified overall. This is true for he US as much as for any other colonial power.
The tragedy is that the Native Americans weren't given citizenship and that any attempt was made to preserve their literally unsustainable way of life. The Trail of Tears was bad, but it was exceptionally bad.

I have been under the assumption that colonialism is bad. Can you provide any literature that points otherwise?

also they never had a large population, but a social structure that allowed them to mobilize a much larger percentage of their population than most sedentary civilizations.

Historical fluke, a one-hit wonder.

the fact that you think that ''how'' is a relevant word for your life is already far dubious. so tell us your justification to take this world seriously, to the point of listening to people who choose to speculate about it.

>>900122

Baltic states are too different for that to work. Estonia is muh Nordic heritage, muh Scandinavia, and they've got completely different language group than the other two.
Latvia is the one that prides itself on the Baltic identity first and foremost.
Lithuania has always been historically close to Central European affairs.
