Any find the iron guard interesting? They were a mixture between national socialism and orthodoxy
I think both national socialism and orthodoxy are shit (especially orthodoxy) so I don't hold combination of the two in high regard.

Too bad they got ALEXANDERED

They were also Christian for about 500 years.
Egypt, Rome, Sumer, Khmer, Majabahit, Tang, Mauryan, you name it.
I never really liked that kind of stuff, it just looks cheap and fake to me. I prefer stuff like this, since its using eclectic historic influences to create something new rather than just copying old structures.

Mostly put him there as a meme, desu; realistically, he should go on low tier.

The school of Life is pretty good in my opinion, but it's more about history of philosophy and political thought
Was Charlemagne a real person?
>>399902
It's a well known fact that most people who lived before the invention of history in 1823 are considered to be mythical and not real.
Define 'real'

Define 'define 'real''.
>To say that life is nothing but a property of certain peculiar combinations of atoms is like saying Hamlet is nothing but a property of a peculiar combination of letters.
Where were you when scientism got BTFO?

Both those statement are true

What the fuck OP, that is exactly what Hamlet is.
Was the mutual population exchange a mistake?
I find the ethic cleansing in Anatolia to be a total tragedy. What would that region of the world look like today had Greece managed to secure this land before it was scrubbed of Greeks? What would a modern day Turkey look like with virtually no Western coast?

The greeks fucked up by invading anatolianif they didn't turkey would still have a sizable greek minority to this day.
>>399716
It wasn't a mistake. It was either that or continued extermination and neither the Greeks, the now communist Russia or the world would do anything about it, so you might as well salvage what you had left and get rid of muslims.
What actually was a mistake was thinking Turkey was civilized and would follow its treaties and thus exempting Greeks and muslims in Thrace and Imbros-Tenedos from the transfer, who the Turks pogrommed the shit up as soon as they got the chance.
>>400304
Just like those Armenian and Assyrian minorities, am I right?
I saw a news article which confused me and i need the help of some historians.
Do the native French exist or not?
>>399608
The "native" French would be white, and white people cannot be natives.
Ergo, no Native French exist.
>>399612
Yeah the French high court just dismissed the concept of native French people.
>>399608
This is actually interesting because It puts the question regarding the division in ethnicity and nationality under the lupp.
Take the UK. You have Englishmen, Scotsmen and so on, and you would be able to say "I'm ethnicity English".
But it would be odd to say "I'm ethnicity British", wouldn't it? British is a national identity, not an technical.
Someone please correct me if I'm completely off.
How were armoured cars used and deployed in WW1? From what I imagine surely the terrain and the combat wouldn't really allow for these old cars to be driving around in.
>>398833
Hey fuck you, you weren't there man. We tried our best, alright?
>>398833
When Emperor Franz Josef was shown an armored car, he went "Such a thing would not have a military value."
Because
1) It was slower than a horse
2) It scared horses.
Early tanks mostly got bogged down, but they were used largely like they are today; as cover for infantry and clearing mg nests and other entrenched positions.
Later they used to carry large hay bales to help tanks cross trenches.

holy shit that chink tub must have rolled in heavy seas, and the structure must have come under some strain. also: slow as fuck. i'd be interested to see if it could replicate the journey to north america against the gulf stream.

they demolished everything in sight and travelled from Nanjing to Mogadishu and Mecca. The only reason the technology didn't spread is that they were only built for 30 years or so, until confucian ministers decided the money was better spent on agriculture. Not sure how the Indian Ocean compares to the Atlantic tho

is the following statement true or false? why?
>Biblical Criticism has proven the bible to be a product of many different authors, most like not the ones named (Moses, Luke, Matthew etc), and many of the events of the OT and the NT are unlikely to have ever happened. Jesus was probably a very different figure from the one presented by tradition and Higher Criticism has proven false many claims of the established Christian tradition.

Thank you, OP, for not including Howard Zinn. Much appreciated.
Does she deserves all the praise she gets or she is just being pushed as an ancient feminist icon?
Does it really matter if the praise is warranted or not? This isn't even something that would be interesting to discuss, it's just lame gay subversive shit talk.
This will always devolve into two sides of the same retarded coin spouting shit.

Ethiopia
>Slavery was fundamental to the social, political and economic order of medieval Ethiopia. Racism in the territory was traditionally mainly directed at the Nilotic ethnic minorities, as well as other individuals with similarly pronounced "Negroid" physical features. Collectively, these groups are locally known as Shanqella or barya, derogatory terms originally denoting slave descent, irrespective of the individual's family history.[4][5]
Slaves in Ethiopia, 19th century.
Historically, the Shanqella constituted most of the slave labour in the ruling local Afro-Asiatic societies.[6] The Abyssinians (Habesha highlanders) were also noted as having actively hunted the Shanqella during the 19th century.[7] Following the abolition of the slave trade in the 1940s, the freed Shanqella and barya were typically employed as unskilled labour.[6]
Traditionally, racism against perceived barya transcended class and remained in effect regardless of social position or parentage.[8] Although other populations in Ethiopia also faced varying degrees of discrimination, little of that adversity was by contrast on account of racial differences. It was instead more typically rooted in disparities in class and competition for economic status. The Oromo and Gurage were thus, for example, not considered by the highlander groups as being racially barya, owing to their similar physical features and common Afro-Asiatic ancestry.>
