There's too much generalized history and historic related subjects on /his/. How about we go into detail about specific countries.
This thread is meant for anon from various countries to ask one another about their own histories.
For example, i'm from Moldova, anyone interested can ask about it's history, and so on.
GO!
What is Moldova?
And how are you not just special snowflake romanians?
Swedanon reporting in.
>>507107
Moldova's an eastern european country founded in 1359. It's etymology comes from the germanic people who named the current river of Moldova "Mulde" from which the name of the country comes from.
>And how are you not just special snowflake romanians?
Why should we? All contributions to present romanian literature and philology were done by moldovans, who identified as part of the moldovan nation. We also have no common language or history.
Where are you from?
>>507108
Tell me what's the beef you have with Denmark. Under which circumstances did you declare independence ?

Why do right wing dictatorships usually have such lower death tolls than left wing dictatorships?
>>505336
They generally support existing power structures, including the elite. Thus there is little need for massive institutional revolution, which is often what leads to many deaths in left wing dictatorships.
>>505336
>Pinochet did nothing wrong.jpg
ebin, simply ebin
>>505336
They're both immoral. Pinochet was every bit the bloodthirsty murderer as Stalin or Mao.
Stop making these threads.

b...but muh charge
>>500270
to be honest, I'm more annoyed by the fact that they all have plate armor, which is displayed nowhere in Middle-Earth, it's mail all around.
what are some well functioning dictatorships of the 20th century and after?
>>512360
If it fell or was oustered, its not well functioning.
Francisco Franco's falange dictatorship was reasonably successful.
Spain was ruled by fascists for almost 70 years and all nobody cared much to interviene.

Was he really that bad? What about all the good things he did?
I don't know, perhaps because he killed more than ten million people and left central asia a smouldering ash heap?
ok you got me to reply. Name ONE good thing Timur the Lame did.
>>508746
Genghis killed 30+ million people, and /his/ loves him.
Timur was one of the greatest military leaders ever, right in the same league with Alexander, yet you never hear from him.
Could the western powers have fended off a Soviet invasion in 1945?
Nope
>>508470
Sure, drop a plutonium bomb on Leningrad and watch how quick Stalin changes his tune
Not by using traditional military forces, no. Even in '45, the States had too few nuclear bombs to just eliminate the Soviet war machine through bombings alone.
All of them except Carthage.
Fuck gay-ass Carthage.

Why didn't Luther consider Orthodoxy? Why didn't the Reformation in general not consider it? Was Fasting really too much to ask?
>>509077
IIRC, it was considered at one point early on, but rejected for some reason.
>>509086
Why? I know Protestants hate fasting, but that doesn't seem like the substance of their faith.
>>509086
The protestants contacted the Orthodox Church in order to determine whether they might merge together, but the Orthodox felt the need to "correct" the protestants on some of their theology, which the protestants didn't take too kindly to.
Why weren't Dresden/Hamburg bombings considered as war crimes?
>>507194
You already know the answer
>>507194
Because Germany lost.
>le france has le white flag and always loses wars XD
>in actuality, france kicks ass and has been kicking ass since years fucking 800
how do we stop this meme
>>506276
Losing, not once, not twice, but thrice against heavily outnumbered peasants with longbows and getting overran by Germany twice are just too embarrassing for people to forget.
>>506280
they won the 100 years war
>germany
getting stomped by the most ridiculously powerful country isnt that embarrassing
>>506291
>getting stomped by the most ridiculously powerful country isnt that embarrassing
So powerfull they lost all world wars. But I guess that's pretty impressive by French standards.

How frequent are germanic threads on this board? Are they completely butthurt and shitposting-infested?
Fairly and yes.
/pol/ has been so fucking annoying during their existence they've created a large animosity for whatever they preach about, leading to a large amount of people shitting on /pol/tards just in reaction to how annoying they are
