Thirty Years War thread

Is there a more interesting point in history than this clusterfuck? It has everything going for it in terms of like a television series, a massive turning point in history, a bright and colorful aesthetic, gore and debauchery, ridiculous circumstances, why does it seem so rarely touched upon?

As as first year high school history teacher teaching World History, I often find myself wondering what my students absolutely need to learn in a high school history class.

Considering well over ninety-nine percent of them won't pursue any post-secondary courses in history, I feel that I have a duty to condense the 500+ years of history (the class basically covers 1500 to the present) I need to teach them into something that they might actually use later in life. Any recommendations /his/?

textual criticism, ie: historiography

History isn't about content, it is about method.
>>
>>47370
The only reason to learn anything in high school besides consumer education and government is to broaden your horizon before you go off to college and choose what degree to live your life around.

This is why I would never be a teacher. I refuse to teach anyone who isn't willing to learn the particular subject I'm teaching.
>>
The main purpose of high school history should be to teach children to be skeptical of authority, so that they don't get fooled by communists, fascists, or demagogues.

Hello /his/! I have a collection of several hundred history-related books that I would like to share with you. They range from many eras of human history and I will dump them randomly. I'll include a cover picture and a summary of the book with each post.

If you have links to any historical books, feel free to contribute. I'll go ahead and start:

---------------------------------

>Arguably one of the most provocative, puzzling, and misunderstood organizations of medieval times, the legendary Knights Templar have always been shrouded in a veil of mystery, while inspiring popular culture from Indiana Jones to Dan Brown. In The Templars, author Michael Haag offers a definitive history of these loyal Christian soldiers of the Crusades—sworn to defend the Holy Land and Jerusalem, but ultimately damned and destroyed by the Pope and his church. A bestseller in the United Kingdom—the first history of the enigmatic warriors to include findings from the Chinon Parchment, the long-lost Vatican document absolving the Knights of heresy—The Templars by Michael Haag is fascinating reading.

>With a thrilling narrative that sheds much light on recent events, this national bestseller brings to life the 1953 CIA coup in Iran that ousted the country’s elected prime minister, ushered in a quarter-century of brutal rule under the Shah, and stimulated the rise of Islamic fundamentalism and anti-Americanism in the Middle East. Selected as one of the best books of the year by the Washington Post and The Economist, it now features a new preface by the author on the folly of attacking Iran.

>Near the end of the Second World War, a National Socialist resistance movement, known as the Werwolf, flickered briefly to life in Germany and its borderlands. Dedicated to delaying the advance of the Allies on both fronts, the Werwolf succeeded in scattered acts of sabotage and violence. By the spring of 1945, it also showed signs of becoming a vengeful Nazi reaction against the German populace itself. 'Collaborators' and 'defeatists' were frequently assassinated, and crude posters warned that certain death would follow any failure to resist the enemy.

>Werwolf violence failed to mobilize a spirit of national resistance. Biddiscombe argues that the group was poorly led, armed, and organized, and that it was doomed to failure given the war-weariness of the populace and the hesitancy of young Germans to sacrifice themselves on the funeral pyre of the regime. He also demonstrates that although the group failed to assume a popular character, its influence was still great and its revolutionary sentiments would have grave implications for the future.

>Werwolf! is the most complete history to date of the Nazi partisan movement. It will be of great interest to general readers as well as to military historians.

God was right. The greatest crime would be to allow all those people to live.

according to christfags anything god does is good by definition therefore he could kill everyone on the planet and it would still be moral

so I doubt your image is going to hold much sway with them, although I take your point

So you're using this as a sole example of why satan is good?
