Only the King of Heroes, the true ruler of this world, deserves to be the mascot of /his/!
Is the mascot and board-tan the same thing?
Go away /a/, fateshit isn't even good

Did peasant levies make up the majority of Western European armies between 500-1600 AD, /his/?
I was under the impression that 15th-16th century warfare in Western Europe was exclusively solely fought with mercenaries.
>>17447
I thought it was enslaved Africans
not sure desu, but in regards to the English I believe there was at least a time around 13-1400 where training with bows every week was mandatory for all peasants and such capable of serving and bowmen were widely employed
What does /his/ think about Judaism?
>>17225
Diverse. Multilateral if you will.
>>17225
Their stories are a lot better than the ensuing fanfics
Judiasm is so much more than religion
its a culture and a mindset and a race and a set of values
name a single more powerful man

Anyone here read The Decline of the West? Chilling stuff. Oswald Spengler predicted the fall of communism in Russia and its rise as a world power, the rise of egalitarianism and cosmopolitanism in the West, falling birthrates and massive immigration as a result, and even WW2 - specifically how Hitler would lose it, before it even began. He died in 1936.
I think it's bad that his works are not well-known.

Everyone on /lit/ knows him, I haven't gotten around to reading him yet but i like his quote i read on wiki about western man being a proud but tragic figure as it'll never reach the heights it aims to reach.
>>17210
Every time I try to talk about him on /lit/ I either get no replies or get told to go back to /pol/.
Spengler was mainly a traditionalist, and while he supported Hitler he disagreed with his racial policies. Note that in the quote in this pic he doesn't literally mean race, "race" to Spengler meant "culture"
>>17378
He was absolutely right on this.
Look at Sweden, they have not seen war since 1814 and became pacifist and weak in spirit and fighting prowess. Now they preach basically giving away their whole country to foreign refugees, surrendering without a fight, their own worst enemy being themselves.
The West has to break out of this stagnant decline of pacifism, international law, globalism, political correctness, supranational entities like the EU and NATO if it is to survive, especially Europe.
Who really started ww2?
I blame Britain desu, senpai
Hitler plans for Danzig were pretty top tier

Post about historical facts and events that are generally not talked about because not many know about them.
People drank water, shocking.
It's a common "fun fact" that people mostly drank booze.
The epithet "the Great" comes from the Persians, in the literal sense of them being "big," because of their station.
So, when people call him Alexander the Great, they're saying he was a big guy, 4 u

Partially trying to push the boundaries of what this board will allow (to an extent I am still interested in the content of this thread)

What would you /his/torians consider as a "good" and at least mostly historically accurate video games
given due to the free nature of games most games focus on the end result being accurate more than the means.
However some games are undeniably focused on portraying some historical events correctly or at least portraying the culture and mentality of the time periods correctly.
Pic related (though the later games got a bit weird)

I prefer ages of empire 2, as it had just enough freedom to play and create unique armies and combinations but not too graphical in such that it made my old comp lag.
I still play this game a lot though
