I'd go as far as saying that it happened, therefore it was.
Of course, I'm just saying but... yeah.

Yes
It permitted them to become a superpower instead of ending up like Canada because of Britain's loser influence

>>77618

That's one broad ass question.

No seriously, I mean the ethics of taxation, representation, colonialism... I don't think I could answer the question in less than 2 hours anon.

Destroyer of meme empires.

I think the Qing dynasty is really interesting. I've been taking a grad seminar with a Chinese history expert and we've spent a good amount of time on them, mostly on the McCartney mission, comparative global history, and Qing governance in SW China.

Just finished reading The Great Divergence a week ago and I'm curious about /his/'s reaction to the sort of exacting cliometric history Pomeranz uses to build his argument that the Qing dynasty was not inherently less disposed towards industrializing, but failed to do so because of its coal deposits and lack of colonial peripheries (in really reduced terms). Do ya'll think Qing China could have equalled Great Britain if they had been more interested in acquiring overseas markets and that they were actually a very dynamic people, or do you guys think that the letter form the Qianlong emperor where he rejects western technology wholesale is a reflection of cultural stagnancy in the Qing empire at the time?

Europe's favorite punching ball

How do you pronounce Qing /his/?
"Chin" or "Queen"?

"Chin" here

>Austria didn't want to give up Hungary and Slavic lands.
>Prussia didn't want Slavs and Hungarians in greater Germany if it were to exist.
>One of the two major kings would have had to stand down, a huge humiliation.

Grossdeutchland lösung would have been awesome though.

>the germanic peoples

The German peoples
Stop using German and Germanic as synonyms
Germans are ONE Germanic people AMONG MANY OTHERS
Germanic is to German what Slavic is to Polish

Bismarck wanted to unite the Germans people (Bavarians, Hanoverians, Prussians, Austriians...) not the Germanic peoples (Swedes, Danes, Norvegians, Germans, Dutch, Brits...)

>>77434
If he annexed Austria it would have compomised the power of the Protestant Prussians within Germany. Also unlike a certain Kaiser that came later Bismarck understood Germany needed as many strong allies as possible. Austria-Hungary was a perfect ally.

Because that's not how history works.
I'm looking at you too, progress-believers.

You're not paying attention. The 20th century was defined by the conflict of revolutionary proletarians against bourgeois states. Strong-arming, sabotage, and counter-revolution stymied these movements in the early 90s but that is a short history. It took the capitalist class much longer to establish their revolution over the earth.
>the world is more unequal than ever.
And this is precisely why history has not ended.

Because inequality is not wrong.

The stuff De Las Casas had to witness.

>>77061

I have to imagine that it must have been fucking terrifying for the Native American injuns to have experienced contact with Europeans.

Probably vice versa as well.

>>77061
id imagine being raided by the mongolians has to be up there somewhere, also being an innocent, free first world white person and being kidnapped by the arab warlod and forced into slavery... shits kinda fucked man. To taste freedom only to know how badly your suffering. I heard Americans even got captured.

This is the philosophy board.

Is he the one that wrote Gravity's Jest?

I've seen loads of support for multiregionalism on 4chan, but I don't think it's actually taken seriously by many professionals.

>>76674
first of all, yeah i would believe this and other anthropological topics are /his/ related, as long as they are not clearly meant to be offensive to a certain group (bait)

and yeah, the out of africa theory is generally accepted. its clear all humans are the same race, and it had to originate somewhere

did anyone ever try to explain WHY early humans would have left africa?

deserts and snow-topped mountains aren't exactly "better" places to live

Restore the Ming? Just because they had long hair does not put them in the Ming camp.

The reason they lost is because they literally went against God by not having any Westerners on their side.

>tfw ever-victorious army led by Yuropean officers

Because, historically, the Han Chinese have always been raped in the ass and subjugated and ruled by the nomadic tribes.

Because Zeng Guofan is a badass.

I agree, it should be a 10 year cut off

>>76344

I think it should be a 30 year cut off. I really don't want /his/ to be /pol/ 2.0.

Everything is always at the mods discretion. I'm sure if we talk civilly about an actual historical happening that occurred in the last 25 years, the mods will let things go. It's just a rule in place to give a hard and fast reason to prune anything that looks remotely like bait.

they were black ofc

>>76353

Maybe the Elamites were? I don't know.

>>76353

He gives interesting criticisms of Kurgan Hypothesis, so it's relevant to people interested in European migrations too.

There was no break in continuity from the Roman Empire, and it's just a better sounding name than Byzantine.

>Romeika
m8, this means "roman (things)" or the Greek language

But they're all true.
