How influential has Anarchism been as a political movement?
Has there ever been an Anarchist state?
>>596692
Anarchist state is an oxymoron. This oxymoron isn't used except by people who don't know the first thing about anarchism. Do yourself a favor (if you really care to learn about it) and abandon this thread, and go read some anarchist writers: bakunin, kropotkin, etc. You won't get anything of value out of watching a bunch of arguing anonymous retards who also don't know shit about anarchism.

Correction: anarchist society*
Why does Northern Ireland exist? Seems like it would make more sense for the whole country to be united since it is in fact an island.

Yeah but why does it still exist
What went wrong with the Ottoman Empire that caused its downfall?
why don't you read the wiki article on it, follow some links, watch some videos, form a foundation of knowledge
THEN we can discuss the details
you are asking people to spoon feed you the summary of the situation without doing any work
oh wait, you did download a picture of the map
good job!
Heavy reliance upon Janissaries, failure to culturally assimilate the subjugated states and overall decentralization of the Empire.

How accurate are most "historic" games like EU4, Total War and Call of Duty? What are some /his/torically accurate games?
>>596452
not very, it can only give you a very rough idea of history and geography, nothing beyond that
>>596452
100% accurate senpai
Do you guys have any campaign ideas for EU4? Currently I'm trying to create a hegemony in the HRE as England.

Literally all of Europe (except for Russia and Britain) during the Napoleonic wars.
Hey /his/,
There are many people who believe that the Europeans brought "civilization" to the New World. However, numerous complicated ancient civilizations existed before Europeans arrived on the American continents. Civilizations like the Anasazi Indians.
-form your own opinions, mine will be in the post that follows-
As we recall the various times America has been declared a “New World”, we must ultimately direct our attention towards its true age. In fact, the “New World” is really an “Old World” when we look aforetime during the pre-Columbian cultures. Specifically, looking at North America, a vast assortment of other Natives grew upon the land.
For example, beginning 12,000 to 15,000 years ago (among the Western Hemisphere), Siberians supposedly traveled across the Bearing Strait to reach Alaska in search of large game animals. After finding themselves in the American territory, these nomadic groups dispersed among the land and settled down.
Speeding time up a little bit, a lifestyle of crop cultivation, animal breeding, and the production of archaic weapons was already created and being used throughout the Native Americans when Christopher Columbus and other Europeans showed up. From there, it was only a short amount of time before North America was compelled to join the Spanish Empire (i.e. land was taken, Indians became slaves, etc.) and take on their living standards.
You could say that it was a clash of cultures as the Spaniards began to dominate the land. Later, Spain’s achievements caused great challenges as they ignited an uproar of other nations to want their own claims of land.
In conclusion, this “New World”, which really turns out to be an “Old World”, marks a key stage of history. The pre-Columbian culture of North America left behind many remarkable Native emblems such as: cities, agriculture, civic/monumental architecture, major earthworks, and societal hierarchies. As well as, the culture commenced a great civilization to follow afterward. This reinforces the belief that North America was not a “New World” after all.

Indians were relatively civilized in some areas, contact with Europeans really devastated them through disease. It was going to happen at some point or another.

Civilized in what way and relative to what?

Is this really a question?
Napoleon's face is something impressive on its own. He reminds me of Mads Mikkelsen.
Why are these people not part of Mongolia? They are literally Mongolian.
>>595811
Russkies quietly annexed them while WW2 was still going on.
There's a documentary called Tuva - Independent People that explains what happens there.
>>595811
Russia didn't want Mongolia to have a monopoly on throat singing
Who was the first prophet to exist in history?
>>595601
Melchizedek
>>595601
Jim of Africa
>Hey guys I'm Jim of Africa
>I saw some lightning kill a goat, so it must've been a greater being trying to tell me something.
>I can speak to this greater being, nobody else can.
>Suck my dick
something like that.
>>595601
He was Anonymous, may be a writer of Ancient Egypt tales or Ancient Sumer tales.
And often modern people do not call him prophet because his religion dead now, because religons are mortals.
What must it have been like to be a French soldier, when Napoleon returned from exile?
It must have been like watching Christ resurrected. What a crisis of loyalty it must have caused.

Well, you had to choose between a fat incompetent old king who had executed thousands of your fellow veterans for "treason" and had already managed to get the pleb butthurt at him in a few months of ruling, or the godlike Emperor who ruled the country in great fairness and lead the armies to glory countless times

And yet many of the Marshals didn't return to his side.
What was Anglo-Saxon Christianity like?
Orthodox Christianity with Western style icons, vestments and rites.
>>595339
It was predominantly Celtic based at first with men like St. Aidan and St. Cuthbert being its chief architects.
However, St. Wilfrid lead a movement that ultimately allowed Roman influence to become primary.
And of course the Anglo-Saxons were the first of the Germanic peoples to embrace Christ so their Northern heritage added a unique element to the mix
Are they any good books on the subject.
For like rites and the theology of their beliefs.
Can we really coexist with eachother?

Yes. Empires have been quite successful at that before Nationalism duped groups into thinking they're special snowflakes.

Nope. I'm afraid you'll have to be liberated by the Red Army.
Dear /his/, enlighten me on the history of Iberia.
>How has Spain and Portugal managed to live together for so long without clashing, or am I wrong on that point altogether?
>How did the Portugese manage to end, and stay on the western side of the region?
>What happened to the Moors?
etc. etc.
>How has Spain and Portugal managed to live together for so long without clashing, or am I wrong on that point altogether?
They fought each other a lot, mostly Spain trying to annex it. Usually Portugal and England vs Spain and France.
>How did the Portugese manage to end, and stay on the western side of the region?
The County of Portucale was given to Henry, the father of the first portuguese king.
>What happened to the Moors?
Reconquistas, deus vult
>>595029
Basically this
>>594966
It's also necessary to mention that there were attempts to unify the Iberian Peninsula through marriage. All of which failed as you can see. Closest to there being a Iberian union was after D.Sebastião's death, with Philip II of Spain.
>>594966
>etc. etc.
Seriously?
Alas, the Great King has fallen, Alexander son of Phillip had fallen ill and perished on the year of 323 BC, It is now the year 322, There is huge unrest among the successor states of Alexander.
On the West, we have the Aetolian League, who is fighting through thick and thin to keep it's small holdings.
Pyrrhus, king of Epirus, is raising a huge army to expand into the Italic region.
Sparta pulled a Switzerland on us and remained neutral.
The usurper Cassander took over the Macedonian throne and now rules with an iron fist.
Lysimachus has taken Thrace, and a part of Macedonia.
On the East we have:
Ptolemy I Soter has declared himself Pharaoh of Egypt and he has claimed all of Alexander's Egyptian holdings.
Seleucus I Nicator is the holder of the Persian lands and currently has the biggest Empire.
Antigonus I Monophthalmus has the Athenian city-state and most of Asia Minor and the Levant.
You're an influencial Greek nobleman with an ideology of Hellenic Unification, same as Alexander, any kingdom you join is most likely to succeed in destroying the other kingdoms.
You have a huge disdain for Barbarians (so, no Romans, Armenians, or Carthaginians).
Choose a hellenistic succesor state and give your reasoning for it.
Seleucids because I like their roster in RTW.
The Mauryans are on there for some reason so them
