He probably would have done much better if he hadn't tried to emulate Italian fascism so much.
The whole 'uniforms and shoulder button shirts' thing was very alien to British culture.
Forming the actual Blackshirts was his biggest mistake because it meant violence started by communists at Olympia could be turned around and blamed on him because of the harsh reaction of the blackshirts.
If he'd instead run it as a normal party, with a normal membership structure he could have had a shot at power.

My concentration for my students is to teach them historical thinking skills.
>pic related
If they can demonstrate in their own words how to apply these skills to the historical content we are covering, then we are both succeeding; them as as student and I as a teacher.
I do a lot think pair share, project based learning, and interactive roleplaying. Toward the end of the year I really stress how history is contingent by asking them how events could have been different, this allows them to think critically while also having fun by re-writing history.
My students have some of the highest test scores when it comes to state and federal testing, but I'm not going to lie, the community I teach at is very homogeneous, which helps.

Based Egalitarians thread.
Or just anyone who were more progressive than their surrondings.
Who else in history had their beliefs stuck in a century which deemed them radical?
Here's Thaddeus Stevens. A man who believed that Natives, blacks, and women among others deserve fair and equal treatment.

May have jumped the gun there. He definately believed the blacks deserved equality, I forgotten if he thought total equality for women was good and he simply wanted to protect the native americans from having their reservations taken control by the states.

ITT: great moments in christian history
>After hearing of Roman Catholic Maya who continued to practice idol worship, he ordered an Inquisition in Mani ending with a ceremony called auto de fé. During the ceremony on July 12, 1562, a disputed number of Maya codices (according to Landa, 27 books) and approximately 5,000 Maya cult images were burned.
>"We found a large number of books in these characters and, as they contained nothing in which were not to be seen as superstition and lies of the devil, we burned them all, which they (the Maya) regretted to an amazing degree, and which caused them much affliction."
>Only three pre-Columbian books of Maya hieroglyphics (also known as a codex) and, perhaps, fragments of a fourth are known to have survived.
>Scores of Maya nobles were jailed pending interrogation, and large numbers of Maya nobles and commoners were subjected to examination under "hoisting". During hoisting, a victim's hands were bound and looped over an extended line that was then raised until the victim's entire body was suspended in the air. Often, stone weights were added to the ankles or lashes applied to the back during interrogation.

General WW1 thread. Feel free to ask anything in relation to this war. I'm going to begin the thread with my own question. I brought this up in a previous topic, but the topic was pruned.
What was the relationship between Franz Ferdinand and Franz Conrad von Hotzendorf like?
I'd like it if you guys could fact check my research. From my findings, it seems to be:
Franz Ferdinand actually requested Franz Conrad von Hotzendorf to be Chief of the General Staff. However, throughout Hotzendorf's political career, he constantly demanded war with a bunch of nearby nations, among those being: Italy, Russia, and Serbia. Franz Ferdinand, despite giving Hotzendorf his position, was constantly countering Hotzendorf's demands, making sure that Franz Joseph I of Austria would not go to war with any of these nations and would not listen to any of Hotzendorf's demands.
Were they friends? It seems like Hotzendorf was almost happy that Ferdinand was assassinated as it means that it would be easier for Austria to go to war with Serbia.

The Storm of War by Andrew Roberts is a good book that describes the entire WWII but mainly focuses on what the Nazis did wrong rather than what the Allies did right.
