American Green Beret detected.

bad-it was stupid

good-it was fun/it triggered the autism of most history fags

Read Herodotus.

Some of the the kings most certainly existed, even if they were twisted to fit a literary narrative. Its not even clear all the settlements named were real.

The Romans liked to think of their culture as continuous rather than something that developed over time, so they wrote elements into the past that probably were no there

Twin brother thing is present in half of all Indo-European mythologies so I'd take that with a grain of salt.

Define "human society"
Define "certain linear path"
Define "always advance"

Human societies tend to adapt to different circumstances.

The circumstances that humans exist under today are changing at a lightning pace.

There isn't an obvious, linear evolution, but simple logic dictates that our society must be able to adapt.

Mostly just Enlightenment bullshit. It's the easy to make mistake wherein a person sees not the fundamental character of thing but only it's ornamentation. Progressivism sees the technological advancements and what not which are, fundamentally, ornaments which can improve and relax what is at the heart of humanity but does not define it. At the heart is a sort of amorphous, highly capable thing which is unending in its complexity, the greatness of it being in evil and goodness. Which is all say, there's nothing new under the sun honestly, just different forms.

No. He was an asshole.

>purged his officer corps out of paranoia, thus castrating his army's ability to effectively wage war

>>559630
He was a fucking mass-murderer you illiterate bastard. I don't give a shit what you say, attacking Finland can NEVER be justified. He was a monster, and if I had lived in that time and known this, I would have certainly made an attempt on his wretched life.

Thats an /int/ernational question.

All 4 of my grandparents were from Chicago, Illinois. Historically, my ancestors would be considered what race?

Normans

It's something in the water desu

>WEZ NOT SLAVES
I facepalm every time I see that part of the movie.

This is probably the worst, least historically accurate movies to ever try to pass itself off.

Yes, British rule could be cruel. Both sides officially frowned on acts of brutality. But there were incidents anyway, on both sides, though probably not nearly as prevalent as in other wars of that era.

Pompey was better

Pic related is the real reason the roman republic fell and became yet another shitty empire, albeit a large one.

>>559428
Not in a million years.

Agreed. Sociopathic asshole.

This desu. Even if you call it the common era it's still based on christianity

>They should change the beginning of the common era to when Augustus became emperor t.bh
Congrats, an even less globally irrelevant factor .

Keep the fucking BC/AD. I'm an Atheist and it keeps shit tidy. Change it when we start settling in Space in Earnest Tbh.

I DO NOT THINK THAT GENERALLY, LOW FUNCTIONING AUTISTIC PERSONS HAVE HAD HISTORICAL RELEVANCE, OR A REMARKABLE INFLUENCE UPON HISTORICAL EVENTS, SINCE LOW FUNCTIONING AUTISM IS, UNLIKE HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM, MENTAL IMPAIRMENT, BUT IT IS CERTAIN THAT HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISTIC PERSONS HAVE PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CIVILIZATION, AND HAVE GENERALLY HAD GREAT HISTORICAL RELEVANCE.

SOME RENOWN PERSONS THROUGHOUT HISTORY THAT ARE SUSPECTED, OR CONFIRMED, TO HAVE BEEN/TO BE HIGHLY FUNCTIONING AUTISTIC:

— AKHNATON.

— ADOLF HITLER.

— STEVE JOBS.

— NIKOLA TESLA.

— AYN RAND.

— LENI RIEFENSTAHL.

— SAVITRI DEVI.

— RUDOLF HESS.

— LEWIS CARROLL.

— EMILY DICKINSON.

— HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN.

— STANLEY KUBRICK.

— JAMES JOYCE.

— ANGELA MERKEL.

— VLADIMIR PUTIN.

— SIDDHARTHA GAUTAMA.

>>559374

Both.

Well, Hitler was not the genious mastermind that some people seems to think.

>>559271
Hitler, while a great orator and figurehead, was no strategos.

Contrary to as some portray, Hitler made a number of major strategic blunders throughout the 2nd WW.

Also, history, despite being the greatest repository of ideas, never truly gives exact formulas as to how one should act. Just showing what exact way didn't work.

>>559271

The Nazis came damn close to winning in the USSR in '41 and '42. If Hitler hadn't insisted on telling his generals what to do they might well have won.
