How did such a dip shit, so prone to making terrible decisions even gain power to begin with and why did anyone follow him when there must have been men better qualified even within his own party?

Mussolini's competence as a politician and as a generalissimo are entirely separate things, ironically enough for a leader who derived his credibility in part from a militaristic, aggressive image. There also seems to be an absence of competent opposition to the Fascists, plus the support, or at least indifference, of Establishment bodies such as the Church was a big help.

Why did the Abrahamic religions eschew human sacrifice?

Indigenous religions of Scandinavia, Mesoamerica, Britain, Lebanon, Peru, and even India incorporated some degree of sacrifice, in which people would kill themselves or be killed out of religious devotion. The story of Abraham suggests that human sacrifice was very familiar to the ancient Jews, and was perhaps once practiced in Judea.

Could the lack of human sacrifice in the Judaic faiths have encouraged their very fast proliferation throughout the Roman and Arab Empires, and eventually throughout the greater European and Islamic spheres of influence? Why did Judaism so staunchly oppose any religious killing?

>Could the lack of human sacrifice in the Judaic faiths have encouraged their very fast proliferation throughout the Roman and Arab Empires, and eventually throughout the greater European and Islamic spheres of influence?

I doubt it. Judaism itself never really spread, but Christianity did; and very quickly. I would look into differences particular to Christianity if you want to explain rapid proliferation.

>Why did Judaism so staunchly oppose any religious killing?

At a very, very shaky guess, probably because Canaan never really supported the same kinds of population levels that other Middle East polities did, so they didn't have lots of people to sacrifice on altars. But no idea really.

>>517415
But that begs the question: what did the Jews consider "human"

Evidence shows that they didn't see Gentiles as human, I believe the Talmud refers to them as "Animals in human form"

I mean "Judaic religions" to mean any Abrahamic faith.

Hi everyone, my mother gave me this helmet for xmast and it is suposed to be original. I'd like to know if that's true.
The helmet was restored and it seems that it was used.
I'd also like to get more information about it. I guess it is a M35 but I'm not sure at all

What's the deal with the KKK? I don't really know much about their history, or how they operated beyond "hated black people and burned crosses". Are there any easily comparable groups in history? Did they really get btfo by a Superman comic of all things?

Superman was written by a Jew. Superman didn't defeat the KKK, but it certainly helped cement the idea they were villains and bad guys.
>>
>>516338
I don't really know a lot about them either but there have been several Klans throughout history.

>First
19th century, actual secret society, rumored to be quite fucking powerful and getting shit done radically
>Second
20th century, was created as an imitation of the first one (I think the movie Birth of a Nation was one of the major drivers even), was really numerous but wore spooky ghost oufits, marched, burned crosses and eventually dwindled during/after WW2.
>Third
Trailer trash imitating the second one.

Civil Rights - KKK Rally.jpg
60KB, 747x544px
>>516338
Started after the Civil War by disenfranchised (this requires some explaining: something like 85% of White Southern men fought for the CSA and less than 20% agreed to take the oath required to vote or hold office after the war) former confederates and Whites who felt that their rights and views were not being fairly represented by (alleged, and often actual) carpet bagger politicians and anti-Confederates who controlled the reconstruction South. This extended to defending White communities against blacks who were committing crimes mainly because they (the blacks) had no education or trade and couldn't make a living.

The original Klan was a very secret society that was supported by the majority of Southern Whites initially. Obviously, the Klan became violent towards blacks out of racism rather than pure protectionism, and many Klan members basically continued to wage a guerrilla war against the Feds.

Nathan Bedford "Kill the Negro Soldiers and Their Officers Too" Forrest, a notorious former CSA general and the first Grand Dragon of the Klan, was also the first major member to leave the Klan due to disagreeing with it's violent direction and eventually he even testified in court against it.

Over the years the Klan has died and been revived many times, primarily as a combination religious/racist/nationalist "secret" society.
See >>516360

As a side note, everything about the Klan's appearance and operations was designed to be kinda spoopy to put fear into the Blacks. They act weird and mysterious on purpose as a fear mongering tactic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths

>Aeschylus, the great Athenian author of tragedies. Valerius Maximus wrote that he was killed by a tortoise dropped by an eagle that had mistaken his bald head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell of the reptile. Pliny, in his Naturalis Historiæ, adds that Aeschylus had been staying outdoors to avert a prophecy that he would be killed by a falling object.

>One ancient account of the death of Chrysippus, the 3rd century BC Greek Stoic philosopher, tells that he died of laughter after he saw a donkey eating his figs; he told a slave to give the donkey neat wine to drink to wash them down with, and then, "...having laughed too much, he died"

>The deacon Saint Lawrence was roasted alive on a giant grill during the persecution of Valerian.[20][21] Prudentius tells that he joked with his tormentors, "Turn me over—I'm done on this side".[22] He is now the patron saint of cooks, comedians, and firefighters

Well they'd have to abolish slavery at some point, not out of sympathies to the negro, but out of basic economics and the gradual effects of industrialization.

Moreover, the CSA constitution provided the individual states with a right to fuck off whenever they want, so there would be a further atomization of that country down the line over minor differences, probably with a great deal of states re-joining the union.

It'd be too frail to handle the wars of the 20th century, however it would be hella fun to see Europe 2.0. Maybe nasa would be the pope and declare which state isn't giving enough taxpayer money to the space projects, and they'd get invaded. I'd love to kill some police from Ohio, personally.

Oh boy, someone triggered me today. My weeb friend, who is a fan of that Kantai Collection show, told me that Japan's Navy was more powerful in 1940 that the U.S Navy. Furthermore, he said that if Japan didn't have restrictions on its military today, then it could be as powerful as the U.S's. I'm in the USN, so this irks me a lot. I'm not going to argue what the most powerful fighting force on the planet is, but can we agree that no one tops the U.S in Naval Warfare? Also, ignorant historian h8 thread.

This board has a 25 year rule.

>that Japan's Navy was more powerful in 1940 that the U.S Navy
And he cites a cartoon about fucking ships. How much do you believe that cartoons about fucking ships are appropriate sources for comparative naval warfare capacities?

Japan got close to having a capacity to surprise attack part of the US fleet. They got there by fucking their economy.

>he said that if Japan didn't have restrictions on its military [25 years ago], then it could be as powerful as the U.S's.

They'd have to have fucked their economy to do so.

If Lincoln had just promised a referendum for independence to the southern states and not touched the slavery issue (which he did not give a shit about anyway) for a year or so, both the pro-slavery and state's rights movements would have been appeased, and likely nothing would have happened. Prove me wrong.

Is there any measure by which he was not a terrible President?

>Prove me wrong.

Your counterfactual analysis doesn't touch on any of the historical causation, and so is utterly vacuous in evidence.

That proposed without evidence can be dismissed likewise.

I think that's a "mic drop."

The secession of the South was literally inevitable once Lincoln was elected.

In fact, South Carolina held their secession convention immediately after he was elected just because he was a republican, even though he had been stating constantly that he did not wish to abolish slavery.
