You would honestly be better off asking for the most successful type of warship. For Germany it'd be uboats, America it'd be aircraft carriers, etc.

>>409277

Otto Kretschner sank over 250,000 tonnes of shipping in a mere 2 and a half years of world war 2. He commanded several different U-Boats tho so the honor is split amongst them.

As for Japan's ships, it's hard to say. Most of their victorious early warships were sunk at Midway. Yamato, maybe?

No idea of what British, French or Italian ships. The British performed exceptionally bad in the Pacific for being so experienced at sea.

I imagine it would be only minor, pyrrhic successes for the French and Italian warships.

They raided each other for human sacrifices.

The Maya were no longer really relevant at all by the time the Incas were a thing. Plus, they were a collection of city-states too busy feuding with each other to go that far south.

The Aztec Empire had some distant contact and trade with the Incas, but basically the relations between the Aztecs and the Incas were like those between Rome and India: they were vaguely aware of the others' existence, but as far as they were concerned that was basically the edge of the world.

The greeks were kinda like that it didn't prevent individuals from trading with India and other far reaches of the world much later on.

I assumed the Aztecs weren't big on trade but how was the trade network of pre columbian America? Did they maintain sea lanes running for thousands of kilometers along the coast or was it limited to caravans and intermediaries, and which other states were involved?

It's hard to find literature on the subject.

The Nephilim were not giants. Their name literally means "fallen."

>>408908

I don't think this is correct. Nephilim is the untranslated pronunciation, it means giants. You are right that they may have been the offspring of fallen angels although another explanation is that they were descended from Seth.

Hebrew bible found in the dead sea scrolls gives goliaths height as four cubits and one span which is about 198 cm or 6 foot 6 inches. He was literally just some really guy, not a giant. Later versions of the text have just upped his height for dramatic effect.

>If Germany is to blame for WW1, given the circumstances, then by that logic Germany cannot be blamed for WW2
How so? You have not shown this.
>If Germany is not to blame for WW1, then the punishments bestowed on Germany for losing that war are unjustified, meaning Germany had casus belli to invade Poland
Actually, getting unjustly punished by someone doesn't give anyone a legitimate reason for attacking someone else, so, no, no casus belli.

People thinking that 'their' understanding is adequate.
No one knows the trinity without being heretical.
As crazy as it sounds doctrine is most likely heresy.
Just a bunch of people who think they know and cant comprehend the complex idea that is the nature of the trinity and instead rely on arbitrary man made definitions to understand something which they know they cant.

All in all.
95% are just blowing smoke.
Its the uneducated who un-ironically understand God far better.

The nazi's got it right when they discovered that jew were promoting the end of western society

But they murdered millions of innocent jews that had nothing to do with it instead of imprisoning a select powerful few.

So, he wasn't even doing this for an ideology, just his own personal gain. Is that not worse?

The CIA is really powerful is all. It went from being the President's hand abroad to being the hand around America's own throat. It's an organization tasked with doing the most illegal and/or evil shit the US is capable of. It has a lot of power.

>>406078

What's more interesting is the American taxpayer has zero input or control over the CIA despite paying for everything that isn't funded by counterfeit currency

The CIA is basically an oozing black tumor that has convinced us that it's responsible for keeping us healthy

Structure is most important to essays, and the most basic aspect of any argument, be it an internet debate or college essay, is a structure system called SEC.

Statement - Your point, summed up
Evidence - The evidence backing up your point
Conclusion - Repeating your statement in light of the evidence

For example

>Statement
The Vikings were a Norse medieval people who raided much of Europe
>Evidence
We know this because of many historical recordings of such events, such as X and X, as well as X and the X, and archeological evidence such as X
>Conclusion
Therefore, the Vikings came from Scandinavia, and raided much of Europe.

You would of course flesh these out into large paragraphs. You should have several making up your entire essay. In fact the structure of the Essay as well should be the same. Start your essay with a paragraph statement, then have all your SECs, then conclude at the end, making the essay like an Oreo with Oreos within it.

And yes, you need to learn all the key points, not an essay, if you know the points you can write the essay.

Protestants on literal suicide watch tbqh

I think it's quite possible, given the flexibility of Pope Francis.

Extensive mutual articles of faith will be written up, and the Pope will be given his special authority over what's covered by his Patriarchate, and First Among Equals with the rest, along with being required to call Ecumenical Councils. The Catholic Church will keep the filioque, but it will be laid out very explicitly that it doesn't mean what it says.

A bunch of people on both sides of the aisle are going to get assblasted, I guarantee you. And many Protestants are going to say it's the Beast...Seventh Day Adventists, for instance, are already predicting it as the great sign of evil.

>>401880
>he Pope will be given his special authority over what's covered by his Patriarchate
That is, far more authority than other Patriarchs have over their jurisdiction, which is in most ways merely equal to that of every other bishop in it.
