Who here /credentialed/? I'm a fourth year in International Affairs with a history minor among others. My focus is Middle East studies and American foreign policy to the MENA region. I'm able to carry on a conversation about history, but never speak authoritatively unless it relates to something I just read or listened to.
/his/ already feels like one of the most educated boards on the site. Lets keep that up. I got the idea from the "flair" you can get on /r/askhistorians and /r/askscience, just interested who studies what and how credentialed they are.

Maybe not "free" slaves, but I'd say working off their slavery as a crew-hand.

Please don't. Be accurate, be gritty, call them colored folk. Remember Mel's quote about his own character in The Patriot:
"I would have made him a slave owner. Not to just to please audiences is a cop-out."

Please don't refer to Mel Gibson films when discussing history.

I'm guessing he was based on a real person/real people but Arthur himself is more legend than man.

He was probably just some goofy duke that didn't actually do anything all that significant.

Let's talk about the little we know about the some 190,000 years humans were alive before the Neolithic age. You know, ancient artifacts, interspecies loving in Africa, Europe, and Asia, other species of humans, why we're the only bipedal apes alive, etc.
Pic related, Venus of Willendorf, some 28,000 years old.

It seems logical to deduce based on the statuette you've presented that prehistoric peoples were, in fact, extraordinarily fucking ugly.

Sup /his/? I'm pretty excited to see a board dedicated to history. Anyway, I've always had a fascination with ocean liners, sparked when I saw Titanic back in 1997 when I was only 7. I'm now an Architectural Designer.
Anyway, I was looking at the floor plans and saw that many of the rooms for 3rd class were pretty awkward. Based on the attached image, which shows the E-Deck, to the left you can see the stern. The 3rd class rooms located on the edge of the ship look awful, since you have the slanted profile of the stern making for a leaned wall, if I'm interpreting correctly.
Does anyone know if any pictures exist for either Titanic or more likely, Olympic exist of those rooms in question?

for a good idea of how weird those rooms in question might have been, the deck painted in white above 'Titanic Liverpool' is 'C' Deck, below that 'D' Deck, and then 'E' Deck, which you can see is slanted. How did those rooms work then in terms of habitability?
Upon looking at the floor plans, many first class staterooms also had awkward layouts as seen in the OP. Those rooms colored in blue have these tentacle-like layouts that let the room have access to a porthole, but what can you put in that corridor to make it usable? A desk?
I would also like to know if any pics exist.

It wasn't the slave traders that initially enslaved the African slaves, it was other African tribes that enslaved them through conquest.

I don't think Africa even had that large of a population during those times. Go away /pol/

How did this happen? Why was some cunt one day able to say that he is a god and above everyone else, and everyone else has to worship him and also all his descendants forever? Why was this able to happen almost EVERYWHERE?
How did it start, how did it develop, what were the actually mechanical processes and why did people accept it and how long did it take for people to accept it?

Engels. Family, Private Property & The State.
Kropotkin. Mutual Aid. (skip the animal chapters).
Yes these are horrifically outdated. They're still a good jumping off point.

I think it starts with a heroic and/or wealthy person who inspires/pays for followers, then people buy into the hype and generational decay takes hold.

It was always pretty weird. It's a large isolated island country with a pretty unforgiving terrain.

United States told them they couldn't have an army. The army has always been the top dog in Japanese culture. Once the army was out of the way, the merchant class, which for all of Japan's life has been the absolute lowest class, decided to take over as they were no longer oppressed by the army and had the most money.

No moral barriers like in case of Christians or Muslims.

If the Muslim conquests had not cut off Ethiopia from Christian Europe, would Ethiopia have seen more success?

Well considering that Ethiopia was spared the Christian Dark Age and profited from trade with China and Japan, I'd say it was far more successful under Muslim rule than European influence.
>>
>>48747
Ethiopia never was under Muslim rule. It was isolated by the Muslims conquering everything north of it. And the Red sea.

wasn't it a part of the abyssinian kingdom ? they willingly joined islam, hence the prophet's companions first migrated to meet the fair king of abyssinia and he approved of the prophet.
