Chinese and Hellenic history up until 3rd c. BCE. Use only primary sources; burn all your modern books on the subject.

Then, learn geography by studying the history of the British Empire. Just use modern books to do this, but ignore all the moral judgments, and play Victoria a lot, too.

This education in history will serve you better than anything on offer in American liberal arts academia.

Why are dirty plays by the Allies not common knowledge today? I can understand why it wasn't in the past, but enough time has passed that incidents like this should be as well known as D-day. This event resulted in a dirtier war and easily caused thousands of additional unnecessary deaths.

Obviously it's because the Allies won. Countries rarely prosecute their own side unless the folks back home get angry about it anyway.

if you think about the fact that many sverage Joes in german Army were POWs for 10+ years after the war with their only crime beind a draftee, the Allied Justice after the war becomes really questionable.

There are even more articles like this.
I guess that means we'd better rewrite the history books, Roman Britain was majority, or at least, significantly black and mixed race.
I mean, if some random guy on Twitter and the BBC said it, it must be true.
Right guys?

why is WW2 so fascinating?

For me:
-A E S T H E T I C as all fuck
-MASSIVE war (the whole world except Antarctica it seems)
-Battles so big they had their own battles
-Clear and tangible and rapid progression of killing technology
-Quintessential good vs evil
-Heroes on both sides (Pottery)
-great records available still
-Goldmine for the autistic that likes numbers (KstN, Shtaty, TO&E, Kill ratio, numbered divisions/regiments full etc)

If you're baiting, fuck off.

If you're serious, it's because the Roman Empire carved out the largest continuous empire in Europe the world had ever seen, with unprecedented longevity and had cultural impact on Europe after it fell. Being recognized as a continuation to the Roman Empire (whether by blatant and continuous propaganda or reconquering Rome's old territories or by being the Byzantine Empire) earns tremendous amounts of prestige and would land the rulers an everlasting legacy.

Honestly, it should be obvious why everyone wants to be Roman. However, the retarded way you phrased the question in order to trigger byzaboos and charleboos makes be think you're intentionally just baiting, so just fuck off.

Would I be correct to observe that social ownership seem to work decently on a familial and communal level but fail on a state level? If so, why?

>>3156618

Because it doesn't matter if you share with your kin, since your personal survival is not what matters but rather the survival of your kingroup does. But when you try to share with strangers, you run in to the problem of free riders and psychopaths, who will happily take but won't reciprocate, resulting in you reducing the prospects of your kingroup surviving while directly aiding rival kingroups survival.
>>
I would arge that communal sharing with kin and a tribe can go to the extreme, Africa places ridiculous pressure on anyone that gets ahead to share with the community (relatives etc). The social pressure and expectations are huge so any wealth is often hidden from tribal eldars who van take their cut at any timw.

>COMMUNAL OWNERSHIP AT THE STATE LEVEL.

THAT IS SELFCONTRADICTORY; EITHER, OWNERSHIP BELONGS TO THE STATE, OR TO A COMMUNE; BOTH ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.

When Israel was being flooded with immigrants, did you have to prove you were a Jew or was your word enough? Do you think it's possible some non Jews got in?

Usually you would need a Rabbi or similar authority to vouch that you or your parents were Jewish. You'd have to learn Yiddish or Hebrew at least.

>Do you think it's possible some non Jews got in?

This only happened during the Soviet Aaliyah. Now there are 1.5 million people from Russia in Israel and a quarter of them aren't even Jewish. There was even a Neo-Nazi gang that beat up Jews and Arabs.

This is a very specific question m8, one about two cultures most people probably have never heard about. I don't think there is enough interest about these two to inspire significant discussion.

Norte Chico/Caral civilization is older than the Chavin by the way.
