The Church opposed Irish nationalism at every stage.
They excommunicated the United Irishmen and later the Fenian Brotherhood. They also strongly condemned the 1916 rising and sided with Britain in the War of Independence.

The notion that Irish rebellion were spurred on by raving preachers from the pulpit is quite wrong. The opposite was true.

The Irish never fell for the "British" meme

He had Thomas Morus executed so yes in my book.

>>522352
At the beginning of his reign, no. He basically let Wolsey do most of the ruling and resigned to playing sport but after his jousting accident he changed a lot. Soon Wolsey was dead and Anne was executed. Thomas Cromwell who acted as Wolsey's replacement didn't have nearly the same amount of power and Henry had his inexperienced hand in everything. Getting slowly more paranoid at the discontent growing amoung the nobility and intellectuals who liked it much better when he just played sport. Lots of people got executed as a result of this. In the end it was tyranny

I'm pretty good on vietnamese proletarian, party and revolutionary history from the 1930s through the mid 1970s

>>522029
Who hasn't heard about the revolutions about the 30's? Know anything about Vietnam during the medieval period, preferably without commie leanings or bias.

>preferably without commie leanings or bias.
I'm a fucking commie. I think you mean without VWP bias. Apart from the "migration" southwards of Viet speakers, not really.

The formation of nationstates requiring bloody wars against the old empires. Look at a map before and after WW1.

Advancements in technology and science created a strong sense of linear progress, absoluteness and finiteness in history and politics, hence totalitarian regimes. You can do some crazy shit when you think you're on the right side of history.

Its nothing novel anymore because we have instant mass media now to advertise shit as opposed to gathering in one place in the world every year to expose new commercial ideas.

Have you got a mechanism for that with even a pretense of being plausible?

Every 20-30 years humans get the urge to "sleep" where they enter a hibernation rock state for double their awake times.

Advances in medicine prolong the awake state but are unable to reduce the doubled sleep time instinct.

Nuraghe of Barumini, UNESCO site (1400 bc)

The old Roman gods had become substituted by the Christian god, and since the religion itself taught a better life in the next world, it made the present world not worth fighting for.

Christianity effectively broke the spirit of the Romans, who by the 5th century had become but a shadow of their former selves.

Damn. My Great Grandfather jumped on that operation with the 517th PRCT. Great and tough men they were.

And young! Winters was 26 in 1944 and was a major leading all those men. As I progress through my twenties it blows my mind what previous generations were doing at that age.

>>520861
How did the Germans lose with those odds from a defensive position? This was Easy Company's first combat experience and they were matched against Fallschrimjagers who I assume were battle hardened. The Americans only lost 6 men... unbelievable.
