Actually this, at least for recent history.

Do you mean people who were forced into it by social norms/political requirements like Antony, or ones who truly wanted to end their life?

There's a bunch of songs from when The Dutch opposed the Spanish Philip II. The most famous one is of course the current anthem "Het Wilhelmus". Apparently, the melody comes from a Spain Catholic soldiers' song titled "Autre chanson de la ville de Chartres assiégée par le prince de Condé" (English: "Another song about the city of Chartres under siege by the Prince de Condé"). This song dates to the Protestant siege of Chartres in 1568 during the French Wars of Religion. [From Wikipedia].

I've found the melody in a variety of contemporary sources, such as in the Dutch lute composer Nicolas Vallet, in his 'Le Secret des Muses' (http://imslp.org/wiki/Secret_des_Muses_(Vallet,_Nicolas) book II, page 26 (PDF:30)) This b)
This book is published in 1616-1618, meaning the composer was an 'Orangist', supporting the family of Orange as being the royal family.
He also wrote music on the Vater Unser melody by Luther, from which we can conclude he was also a Lutheran protestant.
I am still trying to find out which strophes of the text go with the music, though.

Cool! I've never really listened to much Dutch music, maybe I should start.

Our old anthem (still used by the Slovene armed forces, though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urg7cpp4eNQ

The ideal is to allow some overlap on all three boards. While they can share the same topics, the conversations all have a separate focus to them. That is to say that you can discuss politics on all three boards, so long as the conversation falls within the context of the board's subject. Adding a third board too the mix is an attempt to refine the conversations had on the other boards, while also opening up a new place to discuss those topics with a new contextual lense.

Of course, that is to say

No, fuck off back to /lit/.

Crossboarding is cancer

>>26351
If you really think that boards exist, or CAN exist, with zero overlap, then you've been very sheltered.

I hope it ends up more like /lit/ than /int/ or /pol/. Keeping the flags would have been a disaster.

Yes.

Although the japanese had skillful archers and horse archers, they could not have matched the mongol feint/fake retreat tactic.

They'd probably have the run of the central islands (which is a large plain. Cavalry country), but Japs will have holdouts in the mountains. Not that Mountains stopped Mongols.

Furthermore Japanese have very primitive fortifications at the time-resembling so those shouldn't be a problem

Also hello Thailand, you keep shitposting that picture in /int/

Originally, Japan was militarism country.
So it has not been changed at all.

Oh, it's an extremely tough thing to do. The problem here is that there's fuckall we actually know, main reason for that being that Slavic culture was not that advanced by then, so it got very easily assimilated/incorporated into Christian tradition.

As far as, say, Eastern Slavs go, we don't even know their fucking pantheon. One of the only well-known sources, for example, is the chronicle about Prince Volodymer's pagan reform, and nobody actually knows which logic was the foundation in restructuring the gods. Some say it's just ones he liked the most.

In other words, you're left with researching indirect evidence in stuff like folklore or language history if you really want to learn the truth. If you don't, you end up with pic related and other types of historical schizophrenia.

We all shit in the street before industrialization. Most of the world shat in the street seventy years ago. I regularly piss on the street, because I live in a small rural community. So?

I've been to India. I saw no one shitting on the street. I did see people shitting near the railway though, but nowhere near as many people walk on the railway. It's poverty, stupid. They were virtually enslaved by their own caste system, national divisions and European imperialism invited in for the purpose of sheer greed -- self interest at the expense of another here being the first cause of their own misery. Secondly, they became independent at a time when Socialism was really in vogue, and we all know how that ends up.

Ever since they've been moving towards free trade, things have been looking up. They will surpass China one day, undoubtedly sooner than you would think.

According to the American media, the opinions and feelings of Southerners can be safely disregarded. Anyway, most of them are spineless. Look how easily they took their flags down. They deserve to be spat on.

Allies not backing the Nationalist Chinese forces in China was a mistake.

>Allies not backing the Nationalist Chinese forces in China was a mistake.

That sort of backing meant treating Chinese as expendable hordes of cannon fodder to soak up 30+ divisions of the IJA. You can understand when people realized that either being canon fodder or starving to death was a bum deal.

Standing up to the commies? Hell yea he was... he's probably dead tho. If you need to use tanks against your people, you're doing something wrong... interestingly enough, a similar thing happened in the usa during the 20s or 30s... I can't quite remember it's been a while since I read about it... but a bunch of ww1 vets weren't paid for their service and they protested in Washington, and they got tanks turned on them.
