INCOMING SPOOPY AFRICAN MYTHOLOGY
Egyptian! Nubian! Whatever! Let's talk about what I feel is one of the least discussed regions.
Seriously I know all sorts of history info regarding various places around the world but aside from Egypt, Africa as a continent is rarely discussed.
>>4856
>inb4 we wuz kings
Stuff was pretty impressive given the region and it being the late Iron Age.
Anyone have any suggested reading for the region/periods?
>>4856
You know, the problem with discussing African history as a whole is that we barely have any sources (except for the northern parts of course, but those are never really meant when talking about African history). Many parts of the continent were never populated by high cultures and therefore never had writing or any sort of historiography.
The source situation gets better once the age of colonisation starts, but even then our sources are one-sided and mainly written from outside perspectives.

What would've been different if Leon Trotsky became the leader of the Soviet Union instead of Stalin?
Less Stalin statues and paintings.
>>3649
Soviet union would have collapsed quickly , trotsky wanted an international revolution , so he pushed for the polish war , where the soviets got rekt , i think he would have kept trying until other soviets would kick him out
>>3649
Congratulations, you just swapped Stalin for the Russian equivalent of Mao.
The Red Army is a huge factor in political questions now, industrialization never happens, it might be that they even start WWII.
I cannot believe this slips my tongue, but Stalin's rule was actually preferrable.
