Is there a correlation between the grain and cereal crops of the Americas and the technological development of the native populations?

I hate to sound too Guns-Germs-And-Steel, but I do have to wonder if the reason the Native Americans didn't develop the mechanical expertise of Europe and China is that they had corn instead of wheat or rice. Or something like that.

But corn, potato, peppers, etc. are much more efficient crops to farm which would have helped sustain a larger population.

Old world population skyrocketed after new world crops were introduced and implemented on old world farming communities.

>Anyone feeling the mood to discuss agricultural and social history?
Significantly it is about relations of production, compare the Serb's land redistribution to the static English monestaries.

>>491907
>Also how accurate is pic related?

No turtle ships.

Mostly never but there's some stuff I get annoyed at. Roads that looks like car have used them and modern wheat.

I care about historical accuracy to the extent the movie attempts to represent itself as telling a real story, and how much of it's emotional resonance is dependent on that fact.

Also, you get some leeway when actually constructing a story, rather than being lazy, like sticking LCVs in Robin Hood, or everything that happened in Valkyrie.

Marx didn't think about how capitalists would defend themselves and their capital, nor did he provide a better alternative.

>>490041

Because this

>>Increased concentration of wealth by the few accompanied by the impoverishment of many

hasn't happened, and likely will never happen. Marx was fundamentally hampered by the misunderstanding in economics inherent in the LTV that he worked with: wealth is not static, and can be generated in ways that don't involve the stealing of it from others.

So while it's true that the tippy top rich have enorsmously more than the poor do, and you can argue that as an overall slice of the total wealth pie, they've increased their share, in terms of actual, personal wealth, even the bottom strata of society are moving up.

"Poverty" no longer means, in a first world country at any rate, that you sit in a gutter, wondering whether you'll starve or freeze first.

to put it extremely simply, you have to worship the object itself as a God for it to be an idol in most none protestant churches.

I think that idea refers to non-christian related idols. Things which might draw your worship away from a depiction of Christ.

>>482500
But the Jews for example, practice it as if you even so much as look at an image of SOMETHING while praying, you're practicing idolatry. I believe that most Greeks and Egyptians didn't think that their statues were actual gods, but they are thought of as idolators.

I guess my question is, why did this practice come about? When? And why is idolatry so important to Christians when they have abandoned about 95% of the other Old Testament commandments?

>Africans never mined Diamonds.
Why the fuck would they? It is a shiny rick with absolutely no practical value.
Are we seriously judging a culture on whether or not they have the exact same culture as us to the point that they need to believe a rock in the ground with zero use needs to be mined, just like we believe for some reason.

>>489183
>Why the fuck would they? It is a shiny rick with absolutely no practical value.
Diamonds have tons of practical uses but even then, they've started using them industrially in the 70's or something like that.

They "contributed" AIDS, Ebola and many deadly Plagues too.

I assume you mean the Late Republic legions since you mentioned Crassus. The answer is whoever can match the Romans discipline and/or catch them at their weakest. Technology wise isn't nearly as important since per se, but it would give the Romans an edge since they have manufactories to supply their legionaries a lot better than any medieval army in the high middle ages.

Invasion of Korea 1592 (give or take a few years)
Later on the Chinese joined in and it became something of a stalemate.

Besides that they were hired in large-ish numbers by various European factions and other Asian countries such as Thailand.

They fought the Mongols and they got rekt until saved by a storm. The ultimate warrior thing is a total meme, they were basically Native Indian warriors but with better technology in that they were obsessed with ritualism and single person combat. These are not good traits to have when facing Europeans or Central Asians.

That one tussle with the Jurchens in the 1590's in Korea.
Yuan & Ming Chinese.
Burmese.

They did OK with Mongols and Chinese, and wrecked Koreans hard.

>Informally
Usually in the form of Ronins going pirate
-Spaniards in the Philippines
-Portuguese in various places in Southeast Asia
-Various Southeast Asians.
-Chinese again
-Koreans again

Contemporarily: people in the region respected the Samurai (possibly except Korea, which saw everything Japanese as barbarous). The Chinese said they were pretty brave, and the Spanish in the Philippines actually welcomed Christian Japanese Samurai exiles in their colonial armies in the 1500's-1590's. But it wasnt because they were super-soldiers or anything, but they're free professionals without a job and they exploited this given how very few of the Spanish Army in the Philippines consisted of Europeans due to the difficulties of getting from Spain to Southeast Asia.
