What do you think was going through the mind of the first Indians who met the first settlers? It must have been crazy only ever knowing people to be red and wear basic clothing then coming across white people who wear shiny metal clothing and holding guns coming off a boat that had crossed the entire sea. For thousands of years they would have thought themselves and their lands were all there was out there

>lel these white devils are going to starve to death

You're thinking of "Indians" are one giant hivemind people. The interior people hadn't even seen the sea before and probably had no idea when the Europeans even landed on the continent.

The most interesting part to me is how a stone age society can so quickly adapt and adopt then modern technology like guns.

Probably thought they were gods, it's not a meme some natives actually had pale people in their myths.

this type of shit (in the pic) never fails to trigger me
how can people reasonably accept something that happened more than 200 years ago is somehow their fault? i could even understand if you great-great parents were slave traders or had negros working the field for free on your big ass mansion in the middle of mississipi, but for fuck sake most of the people doing that kind of shit are struggling low-middle class citizens whose only crime is to be white and having no self-awareness

Why did Austronesian speakers never settle in Australia? They settled everywhere else in Oceania, including New Guinea

That's actually a really good question, is there any evidence of Austronesian/Polynesian contact with Australia? or did they somehow miss the massive fucking island while managing to locate New Zealand and Easter island?
>>
>>322654
They did seasonally, blandaed with native women to the point that the aboriginals started a tradition of carrying a screen to hide women behind when strangers came, introduced words/islam/dugout ships and planted tamarind trees

They didn't settle because Australia was too hard for them to survive and because they made money from the sea cucumbers they sailed their for by selling to Chinese.

Oceanians don't do well on inhabited islands, they found it much better to just go somewhere no one had before.

"What if?" question.

USA goes full empire mode. Not in a term of "conquering the world", but ends the silly democracy and things like human rights and rules of engagement in wars and follows a simple goal to be the strongest entity in the World and does not tiptoe around important questions but goes in hamfisted.

Example: Mass use of chemical weapon and concentration camps in Afghanistan, capture of Cuba? Maybe?

How does not-nice America act?

I doubt America would ever make its flag look so shitty. If the world doesn't turn into a nuclear wasteland then America would still not win. The death toll would probably reach millions and the entire culture of America would have to change into something similar to nazi Germany before they would allow that. The government would have to tell a really big lie before the average citizen would allow death on such a scale.

My girlfriend says the seeds of Britain's decline were sewn in the Glorious Revolution. She's probably biased because she's Catholic, but I asked her how she could figure that when Britain reached its zenith in the 19th Century, and she just said a fatal wound can take a long time to kill.

Is she full of it? I don't know enough about it comment.

>She's probably biased because she's Catholic
there's your problem. dump that papist trash. youll do yourself a big favor

and yes she is full of shit. its ahistorical to point to one event and then make it out to related to a totally different historical period, namely, the 20th century when the british empire contracted. Also she doesn't know shit because it was the glorious revolution that started the British empire in the first place. before that it was a second rate power. after that it sealed parliament's power, enabled it to get power of the purse and establish the national bank and debt, both of which enabled the country to spend unprecedented amounts of money that would not have been available before. her argument amounts to "muh James II" "muh feels"

No. Protestantism kills all good in the world. Britain deserves a British king. A Catholic king. Fuck Germans. Fuck the Dutch too. 1745 best day of my life.

Why do the vast majority of people subscribe to a whiggish, progressive, linear version of history?

Do the people using "IT'S 2015" as an argument even know what they are saying? They're Whigs without even knowing what that means.

Is Canada's history (what history is actually has) really all about being the "nice guy" of the world?

Were there ever any violent/racist points in its history?

I'm an American who is genuinely interested in Canada's past because I can't believe that a country has a clean past.
