It got really fucked up after those hillbillies got dropped into the middle of it by aliens.

Everyone vs. Inbred Austrian family.

It was hell. The German states were completely devastated, especially in the later phases.

We don't. We ignore it because it's useless in every sense of the word.

You can't. There's a tree right now falling in some forest and there's not a god damn thing you can do about it to make it exist.

Whats a good argument to make against a solipsist without it sounding totally utilitarian, then?

Modern Egyptians

Why is this even a question? Barely 4,000 arabs even came here. We're overwhelmingly native.

All that really changed was our language and culture which already was corrupted by foreign influence.

Copts

>What was the size of the average army in the 15th century?
15th Century *Where*

Because it ranges from shit tribes with 50-man bands to Chinese/East Asian armies where 100,000 is normal for a single battle.

Redpill me on Nasser

Europe

Krauts. Part of country got occupied by Russians for half century.

>>550537
The Japs got fuckton of radiation and practically became a big US military base.

>>550518
Germans got bombed out aswell, had to suffer widespread expulsion and women were often vitcims of sexual violence.
So germany gets the point imo

because people would rather see stuff like
>space thing has taken pictures of pluto
on their facebook feeds so that they can just share it and never think about it again

Analytical philosophy has made animes real. What has engineering ever done for us?

>>549764
Philosophy is something where it is much harder to create sound bites.

"We descovered a new particle"
vs
"We beat nihilism"

Alexander VI.

Because who doesn't love a Pope that doesn't believe in God, murders thousands of people, and gets lewd with his evil daughter?

Sylvester II:
Invented the mechanical clock and a bunch of other shit like a boss, people thought he was some kind of sorcerer, made kind of a shitty Pope though.

Urban II:
DEUS VULT

Gregory VII:
Turned the Church into a superpower, rekt the Germans.

Clement V:
Brought the Papacy to France where it belongs.

I like Benedict XII, his election made me kek

>A common practice at the time was for Cardinals to vote for a Cardinal who was not considered a real possibility for the papacy on the first ballot, in order to see how the other Cardinals were leaning. However, this time, over two-thirds of the Cardinals independently voted for Fournier. The Cardinals had not planned this, so the accession of the obscure Fournier on the first ballot was an entirely accidental affair.

>yfw youre too normy you became Pope

Yes, there are many manlet military leader.

>>549190
He was average, if not slightly taller, for his time.

The whole manlet thing was British propaganda.

I'm four handshakes away from Napoleon.

Those guys are definitely worth a mention but it's worth noting their reputations are in large part built on the fact that they only received a corps command in the most successful year of the war. Same for Allenby. On the Western front his performance was mediocre, they shipped him out to Palestine and suddenly he's known as one of WWI's best generals. Frankly the Western front just didn't make anyone look good.

>they only received a corps command in the most successful year of the war
One could argue they were the reason it was the most successful year of the War.

>bongs even being relevant in WW1

Oh Nigel...

Naval warfare harms trade in general, so it does hurt non-combatants.

>>548742
Directly harmed then.

World War when Americans put civilians on ships to keep the Germans from sinking them and they went and sunk them anyways?

Sinking of the RMS Lusitania

Algeria didnt exist until France invented it in the 19th century
You must be talking about the Regency of Algiers, a city-state part of the Ottoman Empire

>Cuckposting aside, have criminals ever had so much influence over states?

Sure. Ever heard of the USSR?

The War on Drugs allows violent non-state actors to have great influence over states; but in that case it's the states decision to give them power, and an effective subsidy, so it's not quite like piracy or terrorism.

> DNA charts
I've bad news for you. Those are cultural charts. And they don't seem to make a lot of sense.

>>548442
If I'd make a guess, it would be how much of each culture is represented in each country. So in Norway, half the archaeological findings are of the Yamnaya culture?

>>548442
Wot?

Seems to me that their classifying some genetic testing from Starcevo and LBKT sites as the example of early neolithic genetics, then show the proportion of different modern european genetics which comes from this population, rather than later migrations such as the yamnaya. As in Sardinians are most similar genetically to the early neolithic Europeans.

I don't know the particular study, so I might be wrong, and it does seem simplified.

>You don't need to believe in god to be a Christian.

Care to elaborate OP?

I mean, maybe, but that just sounds like heresy, desu
Tell Bible-thumping Christians you're an atheist but you believe in God and you'll get BTFO pretty hard
A lot of Protestants would probably throw you in the bucket with Catholics and pagans
Civic religion is the most cucked form of spirituality ever practiced and the Founding Fathers were deists, so their understanding of God and religion is objectionable to most theists

>>548235
Christianity completely hinges on the resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:14
>And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

As it turns out, command economies can work well when you're simply shoving peasants off of the fields and into factories, but when it comes to actually competing with an capitalist society, especially a capitalist society that has reached a post-industrial, heavily automated, service based economy, you don't have a chance in hell.

Gorbachev being a pussy.

They were too exhausted to do so. They had borne the brunt of the fighting in Stalingrad for months, and performing a counterattack would require turning all those exhausted men around to fight a relatively fresh force that greatly outnumbered them and was ready for exactly that.

The unfortunate thing with Stalingrad was that they were pretty much fucked as soon as Operation Uranus began. There was no way in hell the 6th Army was going to be able to pull out of Stalingrad in time to escape the encirclement short of a full-scale rout, and once they were encircled there was no feasible way to break out.

For all the shit Hitler gets over the Stalingrad airlift, it really was their best option there, especially with Demyansk and Kholm seemingly proving that it would work.

>For all the shit Hitler gets over the Stalingrad airlift, it really was their best option there
no

>airlift never comes close to even 10% of the 6th Army's requirements
>better not let them break out, better to have the entire army starve to death in place

Hoth's army? What is this, Star Wars?
