>From a historical perspective
This is a code phrase for "I am a stupid cunt."

>the single most important factor
Not being a reductivist cunt.

>their decline?
Loaded. "Ceasing to be a great power" is unloaded.

Take your ignorant, ahistorical troll post and shove it up your arsehole.

You've asked a baited IR question, you know IR belongs on >>>/pol/ and you can fuck back off there.

>whether history education 30+ years ago was as bad as I'm starting to believe it was.

I don't think that generally it's bad history education per se, but the attitude people have towards knowledge of history.

Think of your class, back in high school, about those chads and pretty girls or whatever and what kind of an interest they had in history.
Now add on 30 years of folk myths, misinformation in media and the brain just conflating concepts, no wonder you end up with a Charlemagne pope.

tl;dr People just don't care that much about exact historical knowledge.

>>496047
My ex-wife and her mother both believed in the Pope Joan story.
In college a lot of my friends believed that weed was made illegal in the 30s to keep Mexicans away.

>>496093
so when was weed made illegal in the land of the free?

Because the Americans genocided the non-whites.

>Is it fair to say that Protestant work ethic (salvation through hard work) created the new/modern world?
It is reductivist bullshit. Fuck off and read 5 monographs.

NOT QUESTIONING ONE'S "UNPROVEN BUT USEFUL ASSUMPTIONS" —A PRIORI ABSTRACT NOTIONS— IS THE PRIME FACTOR IN THE PRECLUSION OF REALIZING TRUTH.

A NOBLE PERSON WOULD RATHER CERTAINLY KNOW NOTHING THAN CERTAINLY KNOW SOMETHING UNCERTAIN.

>>495993
>Implying philosophers ever get close to truth
>Implying they don't just prove that they know less that the fools who understand basic facts.

>>496002

YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT TRUTH, AND PHILOSOPHY, ARE, NOR IN WHAT THEY CONSIST.

>>495970
>Lets find out a way this unfortunate great man could have saved not only himself but the great French Monarchy.
By replacing his French subjects with Prussians or English. Basically anyone less petty.

Very low amounts of writing/primary sources.

>>495907

PROBABLY BECAUSE IT IS ENTIRELY FABRICATED, THUS, OVERLY VAGUE, THEREFORE IT IS OFTEN MERELY CURSORILY ADDRESSED FOR SIMPLICITY.

>>495907
cause the whole of europe was a warring shithole for along time so this >>495911 wasent a focus

also
>then that shitty insignifacant lord declared war on that shitty insignifcant lord x5000

dosent make for very intressting stories imo

>>495839
Isn't the difference between the japs and the ainu pretty much artifical?

>>495856
No wait, confused them with another japanese minority

>>495839
Japan's Natives. Treated similarly as Canada's First Nations people. Japan has made great attempts at assimilation because "One Japan, One Race" mentality.

Whoops, posted wrong map.

>>495695
The Roman Empire heavily relied on its (mostly germanic) auxiliaries and foederati mercenaries since their own "latin" military, the legion pretty much declined, however to these soldiers were paid with land and to able to pay your former soldiers you have to conquer foreign soil with the help of your auxiliaries and foederati which you in return have to pay as well.
The whole "payment with land" thing is pretty much a vicious circle and led to instability

When the Republic fell and the smallholding agricultural class was subsumed by the villa system, it became inevitable that it would be easier for Romans to become rich by seizing Rome than by seizing foreign lands.

>>495675
They didn't, really. I mean I'm sure people bathed in the rivers and lakes, but those were pretty India-tier for most of history as is.

>>495675
Greeks for the most part cleaned themselves using olive oil, using water bath was a rare thing to the point of being a special occasion, that's for the lower class at least.

Current standards of hygiene were simply not obtainable for most of humanity, throughout most of history. Soap was expensive, running water was non-existent, and existing bodies of water were usually filthy.

What kind of things have you read on philosophy already? Also, what's your general reading level?

I'm not a studied man but I'd recommend the Trial and Death of Socrates, which consists of 4 books, Euthyphro, Apology, Crito and Phaedo, all written by Plato.

They're all short, easy to read and to understand, give a great introduction to Platos writings and Socratic Dialogues in general and the philosophy of their time.

Basically, the Victorians fucked it all up for everyone.

Very simplistic but that's the long and short of it.

>>495228
But the solemn depiction of sex in art seem to begin more with the early modern period, than with the Victorian Period. It's rampant by the Victorian Period, though, and sex as a humorous motif in art is almost extinct, but the transformation starts much earlier.

Many women don't like humorus of phallic do they?

>>495139
Because it was a dogshit ideology from the very beginning

But in terms of geopolitics, because not a single major power was interested or will ever be interested in a single state that comprises all, or even a large part of, the Arab World.

>>495139
Because although Arab cultural is freely transmitted there is still ethnic and racial hierarchies that inhibited true solidarity across the North Africans and Middle East landscape.

Sectarianism
Despotism
Monarchism
Interventionism

Canada would already be a part of us.

>>495063
America did win the War of 1812. The British were forced to withdraw from the Ohio River Valley and end impression of American sailors, and in addition their native allies were entirely destroyed. They got nothing in return.

Let's assume you're asking "What if the American invasion of Canada had succeeded". It's honestly too much of a hypothetical to ever effectively answer, though I guarantee many people in this thread will try.

>>495105
I always thought it was an American invasion of Canada, and yes that was my question

If OP is a faggot and is shitty at everything, then he'll be happy about where he sucks dick and we'll say all the creaks in the floor and the cracks in the ceiling are "enhancing the mood" therefore it gives OP a boner saying he likes the shitty house

>>495045
>What did he mean by this?
What did he mean by this?

>>495062
That he wants the users of this image board to partake in an angry discussion about the merits of nationalism.

It's a mixture of a lack of communal cohesion (namely hyper individualistic mindsets), poverty and constant abuse by much more powerful, wealthier external powers.

>>495021
But why wasnt there ever even any sort of guerilla activity? It would make sense if there was at least some historcially. But there appears to have been very little

>>495029

there have been revolts and uprisings all throughout the history of Southern Italy, though.

The peasantry has never truly cared who has ruled them and never had a desire to govern themselves. And why would they? Poor farmers tied to the land, with a mindset of high suspicion.

All parties, pre-KOI, had no interest in self rule and all believed that self-rule was against their interests.
