christian science monitor used to be pretty good, I'm not sure they have the cash to stay where they need to be though.

probably twitter, but only if they stopped monetizing & promoting posts.

Disappear is such a strong word for a changing demographic that's still around.

The "Majority" left it when they wanted to pay less taxes and hold more prestigious positions in an Islamic country.

8th-11th centuries. There was still a few left by the time of the Norman invasion of Tunisia, speaking the African-Romance Latin tongue of their forefathers like St Augustine.

Islam is inherently fairly destructive though so most had been forcefully converted or encouraged through crushing jizya taxes by the end of the 8th century.

Fact.

We can argue all day about who was right or who "wanted the best" for their people, but the only thing we can empirically test is historical fact. Interpretation comes afterwards.

Fact, in my opinion, but my friend flat out told me I was wrong and that history was all about interpretating things

>>678021
>Empirically test a historical fact
That's the one this we can't do at all.

Everything that's ever been bad to us is somehow connected to the Danish people and their lust for Swedish blood and maidens.

Then there was European history which was basically; Rome, Medieval stuff, Colonialism, Industry, Bismarck was pretty cool, World Wars, etc.

We never did any non-Western stuff.

this was some time ago,but in high school

>First third of curriculum was talking about Aboriginals and how great they were because sometimes two tribes could in theory be lead by a matriarchy
>Second was how Brit/Frog settlers mistreated/ fooled the natives, all other early events, including 1812 and even confederation are glossed over
>Extended period about Louis Riel- John A. MacDonald being an alcoholic (both which I actually liked)
>hardly talk about WW1 or 2, except for Women's Suffrage

then we talked about the 80's for the last week and that was it.

Was it fought over states rights

Don't know the answer to yours, but I'll toss in mine.

Why have Christians historically had so much trouble converting Jews? Almost from day one, you have a lot more success when they went out and preached to the gentiles rather than staying in Iudea itself. And you have the Disputation of Barcelona, which sounds like something out of a Disney movie, but apparently actually happened. You've had Jews living within Christian communities for literally millenia, and while you have converts here and there, you have remarkably little headway at mass conversion and eliminating the minority religion. In contrast, things like the old Norse religions, or the Baltic paganism, or the various religions in Mesoamerica often disappeared almost entirely within decades of Christian political domination.

>>677945
I'm not an expert on the topic but I'd imagine that since historically Jewish people were taught not to trust gentiles and were somewhat xenophobic, converting them probably wouldn't be easy.

I only know of Moor (Berber) and Saracen (Arab)

They had no slur against Turks or Persians

Like any religion that isn't Catholicism, they hated them.

If you don't teach a child any language they will learn the Phrygian language all on their own.

As a linguist I disagree.

I've studied them quite a bit recently!!

From what I understand, the Hyksos were Palestinian and Syrian refugees / entrepreneurs who immigrated to southern Palestine and the Nile Delta region c. 1750 - 1700 B.C.

They slowly began establishing power (economically first, since they were all over the Nile's outlet, but slowly politically since they are related) in Egypt to the point where, along with Ethiopian assistance in the south, they were able to push 'pure-blood' Egyptian rule out of Egypt.

They integrated into Egyptian culture for the most part and were Egyptian to everyone except the real Egyptians, who started to get pissed once they were cut out of the economy.

After ruling for around 200 years and even establishing their own Dynasty, the majority of 'Hyksos' (Palestinian / Syrian immigrants) were expunged from the land by Ahmose I, whose father and brother had both dedicated their lives to the effort.

They fled to Palestine.

Hatchepsut also had her own expulsion of Hyksos and slaves later in history

pls respond

>What has caused these borders to form like this?

Not to be an asshole here, but the answer is pretty obvious if you know anything about the european military history of the last few hundred years.
