Which country has the most boring history? I'm talking about sizeable countries, not meme non-countries like Barbados or Liechtenstein or whatever.
Pic very much related.
The USA
Australia's history is only boring because 90% of Australian history taught to Australians focuses on the exploits and misfortunes of aboriginals.
Australian history has a few interesting events like the Eureka rebellion, but it's pretty dull otherwise.
It's weird how New Zealand has such a vastly interesting colonial period whilst Australia doesn't. Is it due to the Maori just being far better at resisting/dealing with Europeans than aboriginals?
You are Tojo.
The year is 1939.
How do you win World War 2?
Don't poke the sleeping giant. Invade the Soviet Union from the East when Hitler begins Barbarossa.
Start the development of a nuclear bomb. Use it against the USSR.

Japan COULDN'T invade Russia.
They simply didn't have the power to break through.
A lot of threads on US presidents around here. Forget that for a moment, who's your favorite British PM?
William Pitt the Elder
attlee's a bro he did the nhs and beat churchill
Better than Edens
>mfw you actually had a PM who was high on amphetamines.
Can we talk about Americas best president, James K Polk?
Lets look at his accomplishments:
>Increased Americas Land Mass by 2/3rds
>Manifest Destiny is only a thing because James K Polk accomplished it
>He took over half of Mexico and gave the shitty part back
>He said he would only serve 1 term as president. served that term, and didn't run again. Died 1 year later, after making America the greatest nation in the world.
James K Polk is severely underrated on Americas Greatest Presidents lists.
Best? He did an alright job, but winning the Mexican war came mostly down to Scott and Taylor. There's nothing that really distinguishes him as one of the better wartime presidents.

> I just learnt who James Polk is
William Henry Harrison was best prez because he had the decency to kill himself and so spare the Republic of his administration
Since none can lay claim to /his/ as their home board quite yet, I would like to ask what board we're all from and your historical area(s) of interest?
Those are some huge ass elephants
>>22319
Yes, yes they are.
>>22319
No there's not. There's actually quite small.
What does /his/ think of modern art?
>>22136
I like the vvelvet underground desu
This is modern "art". It's garbage.
>>22136
Literally.
"It's what you think it is."
I feel like we've reached a point where subjectivity is everything.
This man was amazing
>inherited shithole country from coward father
>stabilized economy and rebuilt infrastructure
>promoted science and art
>brought Brazil from dinghies to dreadnoughts in decades
>quiet but calculating introvert
>surrendered country to regulation bloodlessly
>dies in another country watching his return to shit
>honored by same regime that opposed him
Pedro II is the greatest person to ever rule a country
>greatest person to ever rule a country
>not Frederick der GroBe
>>22057
And how did the people feel about all his "accomplishments"
I mean the working class. The ones that have to live in the "shit hole"
Henry II
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_time_hypothesis
>charlemagne never existed
>614–911 never happened
>HRE Otto III, Pope Sylvester II, Constantine VII just wanted to be at 1000
>it's 1718 right now
discuss
This is /his/ not /Schiz/, >>>/x/
Other cultures/civilizations kept time. You could look at Chinese records and match up dates/events that happened in Europe.
Not just Chinese either.

Its a pretty novel concept, although it does kind of cut out a lot of pretty big things and records from outside of there tend to conflict. That's really all I can drum up on it. Perhaps some scientific research could be put towards it with dating and so such.
Would be a kick in the fucking pants wouldn't it?
What really caused it to fail?
Communism
Mugabe was a communist and that ideology propelled him to power
>>21335
rhodesia was betrayed by the western world, never forget.
>>21335
To be fair it was kind of doomed when even the Crown wasn't behind it anymore. They ended up stranded and in situations like that it really just becomes a matter of time before things break down.
List your top five presidents in order. Defend your opinions and destroy other peoples' lists with your skill.

I don't see it.
Who killed him?
Patsy Knoll
How are we suppose to know?
So, exactly how far back are we going?
>>20952
DINOSAUR GENERAL
Beginning of universe, as has already been discussed in great length in the religion threads
>>20952
Cavemen are history.
>Tfw this happened and there is nothing I, or any /pollack can do about it.
:(
That's war for you.
Hitler would have approved anyway since before Russia invaded he basically said the Russians were superior and Germans were inferior.
>>21096
Fuck you.
Can we discuss the genocide of Germans that occurred after WW2? Including POWs starved and killed by the allies and the soviets, the ethnic Germans who were purged in the east? As well as those wrongfully executed based on the findings of the kangaroo court known as the Nuremberg trials.
Why aren't we ever taught about this in school?
Go back to /pol/
Who genocided the germans?
No. Germans were monsters and deserved to be treated like monsters.
it ain't me thread
