German here:
Hardly any. In school itself I hardly learned anything about WWII itself, it's more focused on the state of the third Reich.
You have to understand the way history is thought in Germany though:
From year 5 (approximate age 10) to year 10 the churriculum is teaching history backwards, so in year 5 you have stone age and neolithic revolution, year 6 is old Greece, year 7 the Roman Empire, 8 the middle ages (mostly HRE), 9 the 19th century and 10 the 20th. However alot of it is up to the individual teacher and often enough they won't manage to teach you everything they should (for example I remember my history book having chapters for the late Roman/Byzantine/early Holy Roman Empire, despite us never actually reaching it. Teachers tend to know this so they focus on the more important stuff (or what they regard as such). For example I didn't have too much about the WW2 era and more about the division of Germany.
After year 10 it's closer to a university style system with the teachers selecting certain 'structures' and then picking examples over time. For example for year 11 my teacher choose Imperialism (or something like that) and we mostly focused the spanish Empire and a bit on the Imperialism in China.
All of this is for the Gymnasium, I don't know if Haupt- and Realschule teach it differently.
The thing is that it's not quite as 'MUH 6 MILLION' as people would like you to believe but it's still a pretty big part. However I would say that the real focus is on Hitlers rise to power and understanding how this was possible. The actual reign and the War are secondary topics (and considering most documentaries focus on these I don't really mind it too much)

tl;dr: Not very much, hardly anything about the war, more about the state itself.

German was viewed as the primary antagonist of world war 2. The result is that they were treated harsher in the post-war world. Germany was subjected to de-nazification processes which were meant to re-educate people. It was a bit of a hypocracy tho because in some places were competent organizers were needed, some of the war era nazis were just allowed to keep their jobs if there was a shortage of organizers.

Add to that the Korean war, in which Japan suddenly found itself as the primary base for Allied military planning and organization just a few years after World war 2. As a result, pro-Imperial sentiments in Japan was actually brushed aside to an extent that Naziism was not in Germany.

Today, Germany views World War 2 as it's fault and that nazis are bad and must never happen again and this is why the rise of Naziism is a bigger issue in Germany than in other countries.

In Japan, the emperor was allowed to keep his job and people go to pray to statues of Kamikaze pilots. You see, there was very little re-education done in Japan...

Basically, we heroically stood against the Germans but lost because of British betrayal.
Then we resisted for 4 years until we liberated ourselves (with little help from USA) in 1944 and invaded Germany

>What would have happen if Napoleon had won Waterloo

He'd have lost the next battle
War was unwinnable (pic related)

For Napoleon to remain in power, you have to go as far as the 1812 disaster
If he hadnt invaded Russia, he probably wouldnt have been defeated

>>429403
alright lets say he won all the known battles in Europe and didnt invade Russia in winter.

What then?

The Iliad

Well we have the brain, when people think you can see different portions of their brain light up with activity when its scanned. Of course I'm not familiar with the arguments for the mind being separate so I'm still open to the possibility that the mind could exist separate but as of now I see no reason why it could

Which mind?

Because it had a happy ending

Comedy in that sense is a story with a happy or at least okay ending.

>>428094
Ye olde words, anon.

Once upon a time, fiction was divided into comedy and tragedy, with extremely broad definitions of both terms that bore little resemblance to the modern usage.

I very much agree. Scientists really need to stick to science. Every time Stephen Hawking talks about something not science, especially philosophy, I cringe. Now I am sure there are some scientists who are capable of philosophical study and thought, but the mainstream ones are wholly unfit for it. These scientists believe we can enter a "post-philosophical age", which in itself is a philosophy. You can't stop doing philosophy because it's meta-everything.

>and treat the scientific methodology as axiomatic
like every single epistemological framework ever.

>And when someone approaches a problem with a different epistemological framework they think it's bullshit

Thats their fucking job: to do science. They're not gonna care about other epistemological frameworks. They admit scientific methodology as their ideal and work from there.
Your issue isnt with scientists (even though I feel from your text and the pic you posted, its a very specific group of scientists...) but with a society that more and more gives ultimate credence to science as the provider of knowledge.

you leave the Saxons alone you bully.

Hello, friend. I couldn't help but notice that barbarian tribes hailing from Asian and Afro-Arab territories have ruined our European masters.

Other anons, how true is this article?

Personally, I'm not surprised that loners from a superpower traveled far and found north America.

The real trick wouldn't have been getting to America.

It would have been getting back.

Given how much maritime trade there was in classical antiquity, it doesn't surprise me that at least one ship would fuck up so badly they'd inadvertently conquer the Atlantic. But without triangular sails, booms, or any knowledge of the prevailing winds, it would be impossible to return to Europe.

I'm sure thousands of crazy people have. But in any other significant religion has someone claimed to be a god?

Roman infrastructure is overhyped.

Infrastructure gives rise to industrialization.

You'll be surprised then. Their pop culture wasn't really that much different. Just not commercialised.

I know that in Poland they also developed music not unlike how it was in the west at the same time.

Neither, he was just doing his duty.
Ian Smith dared Mugabe to walk through downtown Salisbury with him in the afternoon, with no security.
Mugabe quickly declined, as he knew only Ian Smith would walk back alive, as Mugabe would be torn to bits by the local population.

South Rhodesia never had anything like moral high ground so the second option is impossible

>>412092
both.
suppressing the black population is a good first step in making your country successful. you can see what happens when you don't suppress them.

How can you say that? For some people there is that desire, but most people are perfectly fine with mediocrity.

There's probably millions of different explanations for ambition, I guess the easy explanation is evolutionary.

>ambitious man hunts with the most enthusiasm, gets the most meat/outruns the whatever
>gets the most food/fucks the most women/outruns the tiger the best
>passes on genes

And a million other reasons.
