>Yasuke (c. 1555/6-?) was a black (African, or of African origin) retainer who was in the service of the Japanese hegemon and warlord Oda Nobunaga between 1581 and 1582. The name "Yasuke" was granted to him by Nobunaga, although why and when is unclear. His original name is not recorded in any source, so we do not know if Yasuke is a Japanese rendering of his previous name, or a wholly new name granted by his lord.

Does anyone have the one with the Russian "navy" getting raped by the British for shooting up their fishing trawlers by accident?

Socialism was complete and utter garbage. Fun fact: Life for Somalians actually improved under anarchy than during its socialist regime.

Yes. Socialism is THAT fucking shit.

The Bible has shaped humanity.

Discuss.

I don't argue that in the slightest, but this thread is about science's contribution to human history.

>>5608
Yes but it has not shaped humans, most people are still very ignorant of the scientific community and its achievements.

Italian unification was bound to happen anyway.

Italy could be stronger today if Garibaldi didn't back down because of Camillo and flat out started as a republic instead of a monarchy.

>Who would win conventionally

The soviets had a period in around 1945-1965 where they likely would have won or at least been able to contest allied forces on somewhat even terms, past that america and NATO began to slowly gain a technological advantage that they maintained and grew upon until the soviet collapse. Soviet Deep Battle was a brutal slow crushing machine that was intended to use wave upon wave of mechanized troops to wear down NATO defenses, again it was a doctrine that would have been much more effective in the early 50's along with the experienced generals that russia could draw on post WW2, sophisticated ATGMs and much more effective CAS would've done pretty terrible things to such an advance in 1975 and onward.

Realistically things would've gone to the nuclear table before long in a conventional conflict, I doubt either side would back down if the soviets are steaming right across west germany in force and american casualty figures on the news start to show up back home. In a purely conventional slugging match, the soviets would probably have been able to push through west germany but it's hard to see a situation where they could ever possibly keep up that momentum. Eventually the advance would be bogged down and NATO would go into a full gear war footing and successfully push back, much like the german advance into russia.

NATO doctrine and conventional weapons were terrible until AirLand Battle. The main weapon of war being the tank, the Soviets held a massive advantage in armored technology until the Leo 2 and M1 Abrams. Even the Abrams didn't really grow into what it is today until the M1A1 upgrade.
Until AirLand Battle Europe was considered essentially indefensible with conventional weapons and despite all the political handwaving of no first use policy the plan was always to use tactical nuclear weapons to slow down the Soviet advance.

>>5095

No nuclear weapons used, the Warsaw Pact would have steamrolled all Europe with ease. They had overwhelming armoured and infantry superiority.

However, NATO doctrine was fir using nuclear warheads once the soviet had overrun the defenses in the Fulda gap and Hannover. It was also French doctrine to tactical nuke anything coming close to their Rhine border in that scenario.

>>5091
They didn't conquer anything, besides arguably Bosnia. Most of it was acquired through royal marraiges and other diplomatic agreements.
