>>causes the most devastating conflict in human history

so you are blaming belgium for WWI? not gavrilo princip for assasinating franz ferdinand? not schliffen for saying that invadeing a neutral country won't enrage britain? not nikoali II for not letting the A-H punish serbia for murdering their archduke?

this is cheap b8

>>575788
If Belgium didn't exist, as it shouldn't have, Britain wouldn't have been involved and Germany would have beaten the French.

>>575788
Schlieffen didn't say shit about Britain not caring. People forget he was writing a hypothetical exercise.

Correct

And they did it while alive, too.

>>575407
They did it precisely to provoke your reaction.

Except when they were doing it, it was a real risk to white people and instilled fear as well as disgust. Whites were less likely to travel into Indian lands to settle if they feared being scalped.

>>575407
Scalping is much older than Indians and far from exclusive to them.

"...a reexamination of a 300,000 year old fossil skull found in the same region (Northern Ethiopia) shows evidence of having been scalped."

-Tim D. White, UC Berkley

That's just the readiest source I have on hand feel free to do your own research

I'm not positive but I think I remember reading somewhere reliable that the British and french actually payed their Indian allies to terrorize enemy colonists with scalping, and that was the main introduction of the practice to the Americas. Not sure on that though.

>>575357
Franco had allies with significant material. The Republicans' only ally was the USSR which was at too great a distance to respond with ease, had to provide this support covertly, and naturally had its own problems.

Name one leader from that era who gave a damn about human life, let alone cattle.

Just hit wikipedia and look into sources.

Also, The Cambridge History on Russia, check the volume which covers the Napoleonic Wars.

>>575332

Russia was very insecure about its place within Europe (they were upto WW1, arguably still are). Getting involved brought prestige and recognition 'as a European country' that every Emperor since Peter The Great craved.

>>575332
Russia was the central counter-revolutionary power, it meant to crush the French republic and later the empire.

Rome had three traditional meals a day for the most part.

>>575092
>Ancient Greece and Rome had two, as do most aboriginal groups apparently.
source?

>>575122
Romans did not eat breakfast.

We only treated the males like shit.

All history pre 1950 consisted of everybody treating everbody like shit

native americans (indians) simply got cucked by big european cock. this basically explains the entire settling of north america.

The essence of pessimism isn't bitterness; it's detachment. The Stoics were all about detachment.That's all.

>Was he being callous?
no, just stoic :^)

>>574891
No, just gloomy. And he's still mostly right.

Alexander is my favorite

I don't even know why people say Khan.
He never really did anything...
Conquered a lot of grass with a lot of horsemen.

Never really overtook any of the major areas, just look at the thrashing the Mamluks gave to the "Golden Horde".
It's like saying that you've traveled the entire world thus you are the greatest traveler when in reality you took an airplane from New York to Beijing.

>>575095
>Conquered most of China
>Utterly annihilated the Khwarezmian Empire within 2 years
>As well as conquering lots of grass previously owned by other horsemen
>Never really did anything

Are you dense or just baiting?

How do I become religious?

Hey Orthodox, what makes a council an Ecumenical Council?

>>574700
all the bishops/representatives of the bishops are there, must be called by the Bishop of Rome. since the Bishop of Rome isn't Orthodox, no ecumenical councils can happen.

>mobile armored division
>no gas

What were these absolute madmen thinking?

>>574577

Sonnenblume (sp?) was against 1 division and 3 independent brigades, so like 2 divisions altogether.

Although I do agree with you that Rommel is an incredibly overrated meme general; and his only real competition in that regard would probably be Patton for WW2 commanders.

>>574615

He did have gas. He had quite a lot of it, in fact. But Libya had no railroads back then, and he moved far away from his ports that were receiving fuel to sustain his advances on Egypt.

Something like 50% of his petrol supplies were spent moving other supplies up to the front.

If they were moderate they wouldn't be muslims.

>>574568
Abraham and Moses were also warlords. What's your point? YHWH is a god of war, and in the OT pretty violent.

Jesus is the odd one out because he's a false prophet. Also Christians still destroyed pagans, even if Jesus was a hippie.

>>574518
And Ethiopians.

Not to mention China is the only one of those that has lasted.

>>574518
this map brings me back to another time

>>574522
Don't know if you could the Ethiopians an empire.

Also, I didn't mean last until the present, but just generally last for a longer period of time.
