His economic progress is actually pretty unimpressive compared to what democratic countries like Japan and Singapore managed to pull off.

And he's the reason so many Russians died in WW2. He let Hitler mass three million troops on the Russian border and actually believed Hitler when he said it was for an invasion of Britain.

That after killing two thirds of his general staff.

who needs stable economics anyway

Yes, commies estabilished succesful education (tsarist russia was super backwards, most of people couldn't read before revolution) and industrialized country. But they were incompetent and inefficient as fuck, especially Stalin who would purge thousands of officers over his paranoia what would ultimately lead to humiliation against Finland and extreme loses in war against Germany among other things. Dont believe memers who claim that hurr durr it was necessary to kill insane amount of civilians in order to have a chance against Germany.
And the reason why he isn't as blackened as Hitler is simple. He won.

Apparently, this was a consequence of the First Council of Nicaragua (300 years after Jesus dies). Emperor Constantine wanted a single, universal doctrine that he could impose by imperial fiat, so he called together most of the church leaders of the day (some were notably not invited) and ordered them to hash it out. One of the outcomes of that council was the decision that Jesus was also God.

Meant Nicaea. Damn autocomplete.

This is because most Christians get this belief in the trinity from the Nicean Councel, held in 325 A.D. Emperor Costantine, a known sun-god worshiper and pagan, made the final decision in the debate where only a minority of people in the council believed Jesus was God. This teaching was later enforced violently, with opposers being put to death. Triune gods were popular in ancient Egypt and Rome and many of the idols used by Christendom today such as the cross and mother and baby statues also originated from this and future councils, as well as holidays such as Easter and Christmas which blended false teachings about Jesus with pagan customs in order to convert pagans to Christianity. Constantine wanted to convert his fellow pagans to the early Catholic church because he supposedly saw a "cross" in the sky and it helped him win a battle.

Nice way to fuck up your own thread with such an image.

That makes sense given that the Angles were further North whereas Saxons ruled Mercia and were thus whom the Welsh were most familiar with.

My question is: would a rising Japan inevitably clash with the US in the pacific?

>>518583
Impossible to predict. Both World Wars had a profound effect on the modern world.

Do we include the Sino-Japanese War in the Second World War?
If the Second Sino-Japanese War didn't happen, it's possible Japan would transition back into Taisho democracy.
If the Second Sino-Japanese War still happens, Japan and the US will likely clash eventually.

>>518441

Because the Qing was mostly at least amenable to Western merchant presence in China, whereas the Taiping wanted to throw out all the foreign devils?

Just a guess.

I'm not sure how it is covered since I only read one volume so far, but you could try to read The Cambridge History of Japan. It's a total of 6 volumes of a detailed analysis.

this. 5 and 6 cover your period of interest. and they do a great job of explaining political developments.

Many jews where advocators for communism, which was the main enemy of the Nazis.

Many jews had very influential positions in the media, banking, entertainment (similar as in the US right now) and where advocators of other things than communism that was hated by the Nazis such as modernist art and architecture, and sexual perversions (transsexuality, (child-)prostitution, bdsm).

Jews ethnically differ from native Germans for the most part (heavy genetical influences from Eastern Europe and the Middle East). Even though interbreeding with Germans did happen, they stayed pretty close to each other.

Jews place their loyalty towards each other above the country and its people they live in (according to the Nazis at least), and have no moral objections to exploiting this people.

Jews where very international because of this jew-loyalty and not having a home country, and where accused of orchestrating the enslavement of other peoples on an international level with their powerful positions (through banking, media, and communism in the East).


>And what's with them and Jehovah Witness?
I don't know? What's with them?
>Nazis believed that the stars are made up of ice.
What? That's probably allied propaganda. Where do you get this from?

You have a bleak, and cruel view of reality to adopt this viewpoint.

Your perception is something that should be monitored.

Easy mode

The philosophy of the Hellenic and Roman world was focused on finding some form of "salvation" and ultimate answer. Stoic and Neo-Platonist philosophy are surprisingly close to Christian doctrine in a lot of places. This compatibility and continuation of Christian thought with Greek philosophy gave it a lot of legitimacy. A lot of early converts to the religion were followers of platonism, look at Augustine's influence for the most influential example.

Constantine's conversion is also extremely important, of course, and a lot of people probably converted because it became orthodox.

>>517676
Thank you for the thoughtful response.

>>517676
Even Constantine only converted because it gave him a very powerful base of support. Christianity was quite widespread already by his time, but yeah, his conversion didn't hurt.
