And that's how Charles Darwin became one of the most important men of the 19th century.

Either that or being in the IJN in general. Certain defeat and suicide sounds pretty rotten.

>Those look like Swedish life guards f.a.m.
I'm pretty sure they are Swiss, you can actually see the pope peeking from the window in the background.

Anyways, whats your opinion on the Swiss?

>>448844
They were mercenaries, mainly used by the Pope, in the renaissance.

Sick fucking pali, though.

Prague, London, Paris, Rome.

They're all right, at least in their deepest truths

Catholicism, and because free will.

>>448691
what makes you choose Catholicism?

To be honest, there isn't a good military history yet. If you know nothing about the Congo wars right now and want a good introduction, I'd recommend Dancing in the Glory of Monsters. It tells the story of the Congo wars and Rwandan "genocide" through first person accounts almost exclusively. It can be a little bit preachy and off topic, and personally I don't think the author is a very good writer, but nevertheless it's the best introduction to the Congo around at the moment.

If you want to continue reading, then I'd recommend Prunier's Africa's World War.

Completely unrelated. Caucasian Avars aren't even Turkic.

Most likely not. Then again, Ossetians are considered to be related to Alans of 5th century, so who knows, caucasus is a clusterfuck of nations.

>>448444
who are the descendents of Avars then? is it just the Slavs in the area?

>Are humans happier now then they were in say, the middle ages?
Question is... what objective criterion would be used to answer this?

The same statistics on the happiness of countries today isn't exactly an old practice.

As much as the abject shittiness of being a peasant is overstated, it was still pretty fucking shitty, particularly before the plague improved one's value.
The onus is on you to find some meaning in life, don't be a passive basement autist.

>>448360

I think in general the amount of happiness a human experiences is pretty stable regardless of conditions. When you consider that at the end of the day its just a chemical system keeping us content to be working and feeding ourselves while we go through life.

I assume people in the middle ages counted their blessings and accepted the bad things in life just like we do, while taking for granted things that appeared normal to them (like we do with say our smartphones or abundant food supply).

I certainly don't experience added happiness from owning a smartphone, even though it objectively improves certain aspects of my life.

Is the idea of "Germans" bullshit? from what I understand, they are immensly different.

>Linguistically
Outside from their language sub groups they seem hardly interchangeable

>Ethnically
Frisians and Austrians aren't very similar in terms of DNA and physical aesthetics.

>Spiritually
The vast majority of north German people, and even a good number of southern German people are Protestant. While the rest are mostly Catholic and Reformed.

I generally find the idea of unifying German people under one flag interesting; but the evidence that they are connected seems awfully vague.

>Is the idea of "Slavs" bullshit?
Something existing for 1000 of years. Documented by Byzantines, Franks, Slavs themselves, Italians, Romans.

>Outside from their language sub groups they seem hardly interchangeable
They even have a language which every Slav can read and understand without even learning it. It is called interslavic. There is more similarities in slavic languages than in germanic ones or romanic ones.

>The vast majority of west Slavs, and even a good number of southern slavs are Catholic.
Religion changes from one day to another in times of wars and crisis.

>Russians and Bulgarians aren't very similar in terms of DNA and physical aesthetics.
DNA's are not nations, and all Slavs have similar genetic material just in different percentages, outside from frinde appearances (mongoloid looking poles and russians, gypsy looking bulgarians and macedonians, mediterranean looking croats and serbs) Slavs do have a specific aesthetics

Tell me which slavic group does this guy belong to without googling it?

most of what the west think are slavs and slav attributes (squatting drunk degenerates) are referred to as gopniks in russia - they're the russian equivalent to british chavs pretty much

like, calling all slavs gopniks is like calling all anglos chavs
