did you know the stuff that is in your body and brain is the same stuff that is found in the universe so you are just part of the universe and the universe has everything and every person and every time and every place and every idea and every event that has ever been is or will be so technically your just apart of everything and all of history and all ideas and people and events and times and places
the universe is one with you and you one with the universe embrace this fact it might be the most comforting and embracing and knowledgeable thing you may ever know or will know
Is this what they call "pantheism" because it's essentially the conclusion I came to.

The Reconquista took approximately 770 years to be completed. Is there still hope /his/?
people are to irreligious. We could steamroll MENA if we cared.
>>878041
Hope for what exactly?
For a powerful caliphate to retake the Iberian Peninsula? I mean its technically possible, if NATO is completely impotent.
>>878068
I was actually referring to the Byzantine Empire making a comeback, pretty much like christian Spain did.
I'm sorry, I thought my point was fairly clear considering the map I posted.
Can someone tell me about the spread of Islam?
I lived under the impression that Muhammad was some kind of a conquerer, but apparently he just raided some caravans.
And how come so many people decided to switch over to Islam from Christianity? Did being a muslim work out better for them?
>>878015
DUDE
BOMBS
LMAO

>Did being a muslim work out better for them?
Obviously. You don't have to pay the tax anymore, plus you can now live with full benefits such as representation in court and not having to be subservient to Muslims.
As in all religions in all time periods, most people are only nominally religious.
>>878026
What I'm getting here is that muslims went around ridding people of taxes.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the form of Social Democracy that works within the logics of capitalism to turn it into your bitch.
Case in point the Nordic model.
Would it actually have been possible for the Austrians to unite Germany instead of the Prussians?
How could this have been accomplished, and when was their best shot?
How would this Germany compare to the Prussian-led Empire?
Austrians held slavs under their territory, prussians did not. Pretty much your answer
>>877934
>Implying Austria could ever compete with Prussia.
If the Austrian empire ever looked remotely capable of uniting the Germanic people under one banner, Prussia had powerful allies before the unification and the prospect of an Austro-German superstate would piss many of them off.

So I'm going back to the gym next week and need your historical advice on how to become a legionary.
How did they train, where do they put they main emphasis while doing so?
Should I go for fitness or more muscle?
legday everyday for marching? mainly upper body for stabbing barbars?
Teach me /his/panics
>>877897
They trained with heavier fake swords and shields than what they would actually be fighting with in order to build up muscle strength.
A big part of the reason the Roman Legions kicked ass training wise was that they could carry everything they needed themselves. Every soldier was a pack mule.
>>877897
My friend swings around a sharp cold vintage claymore for upper body exercise.

Why are Teutons so shilled? They got fucking rekt everywhere.
Mans innate need for rigid rule, discipline and hierarchy.
>>877879
They're underrated if anything. The monastic state they built was among the most modern and best organised in Europe at that time.
>>878125
Tell me more about the teutonic state please
How much of medieval English nobility was Anglo Norman? I'm not talking about just high lords, but knights as well. When did native nobility supercede the Anglo Norman one? What proportion of English knights had completely Anglo lineage?
>>877689
>How much of medieval English nobility was Anglo Norman?
Very very little of it. Literally within 20 years the entire Saxon aristocracy that had been in power for centuries had been completely destroyed.
>When did native nobility supercede the Anglo Norman one?
They just interbred with each other, there weren't very many Normans in England to begin with despite the memes, it literally took 50 years before the Normans evaporated as a separate class in England. Names are often used as evidence for that.
>What proportion of English knights had completely Anglo lineage?
>ever trying to get figures
Basically all English nobility after 1066 was French.
Look at the ancestry of any of the British aristocratic houses, it will almost always be of French descent, including the houses created after 1066.
>>878931
The Normans, and the Plantaganets and their cadet branches were of French descent. The Tudors had the blood of the Capet's via that wife of Henry V, but they came from Wales mostly
Germany and its European friends and the Allies have agreed on a peace treaty. It allows Russia to maintain it's pre-war borders so long as Germany can keep its other gains including France.
Germany breaks its ties with Japan allowing the allies to destroy Japanese influence in the Pacific. Over the next 2 years the coalition effort to eradicate Japan succeeds and America still develops the atomic bomb.
What does the next 10 years look like? 50?

Post underrated historical women.

I just learned about her a couple of weeks ago, never knew there were any female Islamic monarchs. In googling for her wiki article I just found out she has a tv series, so I guess she isn't really all that underrated.

>Trota of Salerno (also spelled Trocta) was a medical practitioner and medical writer in the southern Italian coastal town of Salerno who lived sometime in the early or middle decades of the 12th century. Her fame spread as far away as France and England in the 12th and 13th centuries. Thereafter, aside from a distorted reflection of her work that lived on in the Trotula treatises, her work was forgotten until it was rediscovered in the late 20th century.

Where did it all go so wrong?
Too much wen, not enough wu. Mongols had lots of wu, took all of Song's wen.
How did the Mongols win anyway? Were Chinese generals out of practice? Did they not read Sun Tzu?
