If the French/Poles were not an obstacle, but an ally, and the British at least economically helped them out.

Yes.

Unfortunately, faggots are the victors of recent history.

From the little I understand, the German military didn't put enough importance on supply lines and logistics.

The traditional Christian response I've heard to the problem of evil is that people have free will and have fallen into sin, and the traditional atheist response I've heard is that natural disasters like hurricanes have nothing to do with free will and still cause human suffering. This is where the conversation usually ends, and I'm wondering if anyone has a good rebuttal to the natural disaster problem

As a Christian, I don't think people are punished on Earth for their sins except by the natural consequences, i.e. extramarital sex leading to STDs and pregnancy. I don't think evil makes one more likely to be a victim of a natural disaster. Stuff happens. I believe we will be punished for our sins in the afterlife.

Alexander the Great before he could conquer Asia and establish a dynasty that would unite all people under one flag. Just imagine, it would probably take another thousand years before another conqueror of his caliber could create a world order. Can you imagine living a thousand years ago? Wouldn't even be able to post from Mars.

Alexander's empire barely lasted a single generation
Also >unite all people
You mean Macedonia, Greece, Mesopotamia, Egypt, as far as he could get into India, and Persia which at the time was like half the world's population to be fair but hardly ALL people.

It really depends on what role your playing in that situation, if you are a person, villien, serf, or slave in that political society you might not be to happy or find time to learn how to wind surf because your working 15 hours a day. The king or dictator in that same political society or corporation has a compete opposite point of view, he's got all the time he wants to become expert wind surfer and hang out getting drunk and eating chicken wings. What is his only obligation really? Whatever he decides. I believe your asking this because you never actually been free, truly free, historically speaking, men who are the subjects to another or even a sovereign state like Rome can never find happiness or security. It was a society of slaves where all men are equal under a single sovereign power, to eachother they appear to be free but actually they're not because they are equally subjects under the sovereign power in a political slave society.

Depends on where you are in that hierarchy

They lacked a proper religion of war. Even if they had a God of War (I assume?), they couldn't match someone whose sole functional purpose is to act like a spiritual grey goo.

Andreas Palaiologos was the last Byzantine pretender. He sold his claims to Isabella and Ferdinand.

Does this mean the current Spanish monarch has a claim on Constantinople?

Is a human just Homo sapiens sapiens? Do other advanced members of the genus Homo count? I mean, Neanderthals, Denisovans, and that unnamed third species from Africa could all breed with us, and they were different species with advanced behaviors. What about other bipedal apes known as hominins? If tigers and cougars are all considered cats, then shouldn't they be "humans"?

never heard of such. you mean h. sapiens idaltu or h. heidelbergensis?
>>
>>453377
No, not idaltu, although that probably did happen (which is why the only race of human is extinct now, kek). It might be Heidelbergensis though.

specifically physically, i know that the neanderthal admixture changed brain composition and immune system function
>>
Larger supra orbital torus, occipital bun, larger nose cavity, heavier brow ridge, thicker skin

Some say red hair and other characteristics but that's highly debatable and involving complete speculation
>>
Not really. At absolute most a person can have up to 4% of the DNA that seperates them from chimps (which is about 1% of the total genome) be from neanderthals. Considering that the majority of DNA is non-coding junk sequences, you're looking at imperceptible differences based purely on neanderthal dna.

The phallus.

The word dinosaur was invented in 1841. It means terrible lizard.

Before that, they were called dragons. The reason so many ancient cultures and civilizations talk about dragons is because man lived with them. There are even pots depicting man riding on dinosaurs.
