Why is the face of this board General Sherman?
Sherman ordered a bombardment of every city in the south he came across. “No consideration must be paid to the fact they are occupied by families, but the place must be cannonaded.”
He ordered his soldiers to rape women and children, then burn down their homes and eventually entire towns. He ordered his soldiers to kill every male, young or old even though they were not in the confederate army.
He was also known as a raging alcoholic that beat his wife and kids daily.

What was the best way for America to deal with the USSR? Assuming the Soviet Union never went to shit and collapsed on its own, what policy was best for America? We all know containment didn't do shit. Would peace between their ideologies ever become a possibility or was the extended detente of the 70s the best it ever could've been?

Detente. War entailed mutually assured destruction, no one could win.
>>
Detente plus proxy wars was the best option. We were doing just fine (politically speaking) until Vietnam and southeast Asia happened. Domino theory was a cancer.
>>
MAD kept the peace pretty well, but the Soviet Union was really a doomed state. Its a miracle it lasted as long as it did.

Why do people blame the Christians for the crusades while the Muslims get off completely free for encroaching on christian land and provoking them to go to war.

Would /his/ benefit from optional (yes, optional, not forced) flag geolocation with historical flags instead of modern flags?
>All countries that were part of the Soviet Union have a Soviet flag instead of their modern flag.
>Slovakia has a Czechoslovakia flag
>the US flag has 13 stars
>Australia's flag is the Aboriginal flag
Pic related is the template for flag gloss. To use it, shrink a flag to 16x11, put the gloss in a new layer and set it to Screen

This is what a Soviet flag would look like.

Every flag is "historical" and are mostly a modern invention for the revolutionary age.
In of these threads I piped up about wanting various symbols as options. (for /pol/) I don't care to advertise what country I'm posting from OR what country/flag I may like
But history isn't about dividing people up into our favourite period or region. It's about the facts and stories of the past. What symbol do we have for marxist historiography Annales school historiography? Nada.
So, no vote for me.

Flags that represent your area of expertise could be cool. Like a flag library that users could choose from with ancient civilizations as well.

What role did religion play in the Bolshevik Revolution?
Where they as secular as some claim or were they driven by faith?

Why haven't you embraced the absurdity and ultimate meaninglessness of life yet, /his/? We will all die, and the universe will eventually burn out. Everything notable that has happened throughout history will be forgotten about and it will all return to oblivion.
I swear after embracing nihilism I've become a much freer and happier person as a result.

Can we clarify burn out? The most accepted model of the universe is that it will continue to expand indefinitely. Matter on the Grand scheme will become more and more diluted. Eventually virtually all energy will be locked inside dead stars, and that the universe will drop to a temperature near 0K. Of course there are also theories that allow for the possibility of a contracted universe (big crunch) as well as options for black holes to release all their energy back into the universe. Of course, I'm not schooled enough on astronomy to go into more detail. Regardless, of course we'll die. Although in another sense, all we are to begin with is energy, which will exist indefinitely. So in a sense we are immortal. Just your specific, ultra-narrow consciousness is not.
