Lack of martial discipline in the army, and inability to elevate German/Hungarian as the superior language to smooth relations in the empire.

I bet you're one of those fags that goes around complaining about /pol/ in literally every thread even when it's completely unwarranted. It's incredibly obvious what you and your comrades try to do here, even to people that don't give a fuck about /pol/ you're ridiculously easy to spot.

We need to feel righteous

They definitly do exist, but just as man made concepts there is no good or evil beyond how man makes or perceives it.

Do you guys think /pol/ knows they are evil?

I'll bite.


He was Phoenician. He was Northern African.

Born in Modern day Tunisia in Carthage.

Do you know what Tunisians look like? They look like Semites, Copt, maybe even Arabic.

The pic is a Carthaginians shekel.

They were the lands of the Cimmerians, Cimmerians were seen as barbarians by Romans but they had some civilized towns during the late bronze age and early iron age so Homer just saw them as a distant mysterious people

>"wow it's fucking nothing!"
Honestly, I don't understands what the fuck drove Russians east once they started expanding their realm.
that picture plus some bush or tree here and there is pretty much all you would see for thousands of miles until you ran across a tundra forest in the middle of Siberia with some slant eyed dudes who traded women for sable furs.

>>3123010

Are you retarded? Not all of European Russia is steppe. They didn't even expand into the steppe at first.

>>3122895
I hope so. Can you give some source material? We don't all have time to read whatever sources you do.

>>3122895

This is now a thread of preislamic arab poetry


Weep for me, my eyes! Spill your tears
And mourn for me the vanished kings
Hujr ibn 'Amru's princely sons
Led away to slaughter at eventide;
If only they had died in combat
Not in the lands of Banu Marina!
No water was there to wash their fallen heads,
And their skulls lie spattered with blood
Pecked over by birds
Who tear out first the eyebrows, then the eyes.

there's nothing incredible about it
preislamic arabia can be described in four phrases:
>tribal infighting 24/7
>paganism (the bad type)
>no significant art aside from poetry
>no significant scientific discoveries/inventions

basically imagine very eloquent barbarians who love to sell shit and fighting is their national sports

Russians were never (and still aren't) civilized.

Arkaim, SIBERIAN CIVILIZATION

Russian is a synonym for Slav. It can not be used to describe pre-Slavic locals.

Rommel

Napoleon.

There were no good or bad guys in this conflict. The eternal nationalist struck France like it struck every other multiethnic empire. They fought harder to retain Algeria than anywhere else because it was considered officially a part of France. And much like the US in the Vietnam War, they won militarily but could not pull off a decisive victory against an underground opponent, leading to an eventual collapse of public support for the war.

When I watched that film, even though it's told from the Algerian perspective, I was surprised at how neutral it is. The French torture and guillotine rebels, but the Algerians see no problem in bombing civilian quarters. It's quite remarkable on the accuracy front.

France always goes too far. fuck those cunts, they're worse than the krauts and anglos

now they're getting KARMA'd by algerian diaspora rioters/criminals

The level of JUST 1940-1960 was for France is hilarious.

The 20th century was not kind to them.

>How did he achieve what no other emperor or dictator could in history
Many other leaders like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Castro and Papa Doc have done that.
> total submission and unquestionable loyalty of the populace?
Brainwashing of the populace, using real fears (American invasion and destruction of Korea) to his favor and consolidating power, brainwashing people, secret police, jailing and execution of dissidents, selected truth regarding the outside world and extreme border regulation.

>>3122580

Are people really that easy to manipulate?

He didn't achieve it. He inherited a system.

Sorry but this isn't /pol/
Nor is this historical, why was this thread made

>>3122530
I've seen you post here 10,000 times being racist towards Japanese people and germans. Typical jahoodi

>>3122315
In order to get to Japan, Islam would have to spread into China. And good look having a billion trillion chinks stop eating pork, which has been their staple four thousands of years.

>wrong

They feared the samurai warrior.

>>3122308
The fundamentals are simple. But they can be easy to forget when under stress and in the heat of emotion. Therefore it benefits a general to have a reference that he can refer to.

>>3122308
Dude it was written in the bronze age. imagine being the one smart advisor in court trying to explain to some illiterate warlord that no you cant just attack the enemy head on.

>>3122308
This meme isn't funny no matter how variations you post of it.

>>3122288
why should Germany be ceded a territory that has less than 0.5% Germans

>>3122288
But there aren't any Germans there anymore

>>3122296
Because it formerly belonged to them and the German architecture there was beautiful until the soviets came and ruined it
