Most likely. Either Swedish or Russian experimentation. Sweden have always had a boner for radio-controlled weapons. Pick related.

St. Augustine certainly thought so.

Studies of uncontacted tribes are mixed though. There seems to be widespread belief in the supernatural, but not all 'primitive' people have gods. It seems that cultures start with weird shamanistic spirit beliefs and invent gods independently through a sort of philosophical convergent evolution.

>>580244
On a cultural level, sure.

But what about on a person, individual level?

People in groups are irrational, impulsive, and reactionary. Most people like to "follow the leader."

On an individual level, however, people are much more thoughtful and intelligent.

If God does exist, there must be some proof within the universe of his existence. But perhaps his proof is not empirical

>>580235
Everyone has different definitions of God

Generally far less discriminant on what was attacked. Basically, if you new insurgents were held up on a particular village, you just kill the whole village and burn it all to the ground. If you didn't kill the insurgents in the process, at the very least their supply source in that area is gone. Armies weren't exactly held to massively high standards when it came to humane treatment and such.

New here, eh? Welcome to /his/.

Too many different nations were involved instead of just US/UK vs. Nazis. Too much too ignore.

because ultimately it was a sideshow

I first learned about him in the (very good) book "The War Lovers" while doing research for my thesis about the Spanish-American War.

>>580207
That is sad. He was the pillar of resistance against the imperialist politics your country now holds. Only a distant memory remains of what could have been, but I guess is no good to educate your children, right? That way they'd surely be able to see how evil their beloved America truly is.
I hope I'm wrong and most Americans don't share your experience.

>>580168
No, but I read a lot about the Spanish American war, and we recognize in many schools that the whole conflict was really just an excuse to take Cuba, and that any concern over the welfare of the Spanish treatment of the Cubans was an afterthought. We're taught it to be a textbook example of Jingoism and Yellow Journalism.

Major on whatever gets you a job. Because you're probably going to end up having it anyway.

>>579458
Of course having a degree gives you an enormous advantage when applying for a job, but the thing is actually working in the same field you studied, for History that means teaching, research or writing books. I don't want to teach initially, and I have to either be sponsored privately or by the university to do research (which is a hard thing to get), and writing books generally = starving

You'll be more fulfilled and able to enjoy history with it as a job. Perhaps become a stem guy and volunteer an evening a week teaching history classes.

The most common one is how we advanced from the primitive days to the modern world in a timespan of roughly 200/300 years.Like we are a new species, the modern man.

History is progressive. Dialecticfags fuck off pls

I find people's knowledge of medieval history the worst. Renaissance and Enlightenment memes about that period still persist in documentaries and general understanding.

You know, there's a reason the period after the disintegration of the Roman Empire is called the Dark Ages.

>inb4 buttblasted people insist that the Dark Ages were a myth

>>578912
Nobody claims it's a myth that the period between the fall of Rome and Charlemagne can be called a dark age in Western Europe. The trouble is when most people hear or use the term "Dark Ages", they mean the entire Middle Ages.

Migration period is a meme since it doesn't really correlate with genetics. Seems many of the "migration" were just a few invaders culturally assimilating the local majority.

If Franco went to confession, I'm sure he confessed to political murders.
