In the end he probably would have gotten rekt by any major european power with enough interest in a divided Italy or by a large coalition of italian states. He pretty much made enemies everywhere, and many people were also pissed off by the ways of his "uncle", the Pope. What you ask, is like asking what would have happened if Napoleon succeded or Hitler won WWII; it is an Uchrony. From this point on, everything could have happened.

There isn't a general language thread, so I made one.

Which ancient languages have you studied/are you studying now?

I have a pretty decent grasp of Old Norse and am getting ready to start Sanskrit. Any resources you can recommend for the latter would be much appreciated.

If your native language is english, then I can't really help you much with what book would be good for learning. Monier-Williams seems to be the go-to dictionary. William Dwight Whitneys "Roots" is a must-have if you are serious about learning and translating. "Sanskrit Syntax" by Speijer should also be useful, my professor said, but haven't used it much myself.

Good luck, it will not be easy.

There's been a lot of talk about which European discovered America first, but how come the native Americans never found their way to Eurasia, or Africa for that matter?

Perhaps because the trade routes to India being cut off by Ottomans did not incentivize them to search for alternate routes?
>>

Well the Vikings had nothing to do with the Ottomans for example and they discovered the New World on their own.

That is true, however, they were

1) An maritime power with an established presence on Iceland and Greenland before they made the relatively short jump to the continental portion of North America.

2) They didn't stay & didn't venture further south then their initial landing sites.

But to your original question once again:

What possible reason would civilizations in the Americas have for sending ships out into a seemingly limitless body of water?

Christians, how do you reconcile that there is only one god, but your god was originally part of a pantheon of gods? Why was your god ok with worshipping other gods for so long?

Orthodoxy teaches that the OT was revealed incrementally to pave the way for Christ. Serving the whole thing up on one plate would have been unpalatable to the early Jews, who were probably polytheists as you say.

So God lies to make his message more palatable? How can an immutable morality from such a source be trustworthy?

CHRISTIANITY IS NOT JUDAISM

Historical accuracy scares Christians.

Take for example that fact that all historians can agree on is that Jesus was baptised and crucified.

I'm sure if reports came that native savages ransacked colonizers, the colonizers would send actual military to dispose of them

but if the natives were successful, the colonizers and would-be colonized would form a shaky pact.

I'm not sure if they'd be the super power they are today, but the native americans would be a global force nonetheless, should they survive
>>
Unlikely but maybe, however it really doesn't matter, the natives hated each other and would've never been able to join together enough to chase the colonists out. If they did manage to chase the Euros away I'm not so sure that they could have become massively important nations but they definitely wouldn't be anything insignificant

/thread.

So, tell me about tenochtitlan and why it's the best city ever.

>built in the middle of a lake on top of the water somehow
>no plagues
>most populated city during its time
>even Spaniards were amazed by its magnificence
>"When we saw so many cities and villages built in the water and other great towns on dry land we were amazed and said that it was like the enchantments (...) on account of the great towers and cues and buildings rising from the water, and all built of masonry. And some of our soldiers even asked whether the things that we saw were not a dream? (...) I do not know how to describe it, seeing things as we did that had never been heard of or seen before, not even dreamed about."

You know, I would really respect Mexico if they spoke Nahuatl and stopped acting like Spanish culture is thier indigenous heritage.

Tenochtitlan was cleaner and more populous than London at the same time period, they also had chinampas which were floating gardens that could yield up to 7 harvests per year.

They also came up with the idea of transporting food and materials via canals (something only until the industrial revolution was implemented in Europe) which is why they never really had the need of beasts of burden and wheels.

America's embargo on oil, they either wanted revenge or to bully America into lifting the embargo. It was probably the stupidest move any nation did during WWII desu.
>>
>>411359
>muh oil

They needed oil. Modern militaries need oil. America was by in large the leading supplier of oil. When America stopped selling oil to Japan they were fucked. Only two places in the area had oil, Indonesia (Dutch owned which will protected by America and Britain) and Siberia which will lead to the Soviets kicking their shit in and invading China directly. So they need to fight America to get their oil back to continue invading China and the rest of Asia. So they made the best of it and launched a sneak attack.
>>
>>411359
Also, they hoped the Americans wouldn't go total war, but would be afraid to commit to massive retaliation. They might have known that they would lose an all-out Pacific war in the end, but were hoping that the US would be afraid of the potential losses of such a war, even if they were victorious.
