Can anyone help date this picture of Constantinople? I figure the ships would be modern for the time so maybe 16th century?
>>3116731
probably the early 2000s. Looks like one of those illustrations from history books I had as a kid
>>3116748
Constantinople didn't exist in 2000, noob.
The picture must be from a thousand years ago.

It's so fucking beautiful
Seems the bongs are awake.
It was so*
Hey /his/,
Kaiserreich is a Mod for HoI 4 und Darkest Hour: A Hearts of Iron Game.
Its an alt history were germany won WW1 and the world changed gravely.
Here is the Wiki for people that don't know the Mod: http://kaiserreich.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
Lets discuss a more realistic Kaiserreich here. A lot of choices were motivated by gameplay imho.
Also the alt-histories you created by playing are very welcome.
My ideas:
>France is a more internationalist commune. Its not provocing a war with Germany and instead meddles in international affairs (sponsoring syndie revolutions etc.). At some point they overstep the boundaries and Germany attacks France on the mainland.
>USA:
Huey Long wins as the democratic nominee (he won by selling his populism as a Bismarck style social reform to counter syndicalism).
If we are fully realistic: No war and instead just HEAVY internal unrest.
A little pulp: The establishement blocks Long in the Senate. He rallies militias in the South and some loyalist army units and the civil war kicks off.
>GB:
Autocratic government trying to hold the Empire together. A very radicalized Labour as internal enemy.
>Russia:
Weimar on Crack and the Leftists are also dangerous. A new civil war is likely imho.
>>3116663
>democratic monarchism
>authoritarian democratism
> Totalism
It's called totalitarianism, anon.
you got triangle wrong
>"It seems my pupil Oda Nobunaga is not behaving himself. I guess I'll just kill myself!"
What is wrong with Japan?
That's not really how it went down. He did try other methods to try and make Nobunaga act more reasonably but as we know from history, Nobunaga was a nutcase with a severe case of eccentricity.
When nothing else would work, only one option remained. He'd give his life so the Oda wouldn't go to shit with this kid running it.
And it worked. Nobunaga took the lesson to heart and began the conquest that nearly unified Japan, and then when Mitsuhide went maximum retard, got it completely unified by Hideyoshi following him.
Then Tokugawa fucked it all up by doing the opposite of what Nobunaga and Hideyoshi wanted but eh. Point is, years more of catastrophe would've continued if not for that sacrifice. The plan worked.

>be a shitbrained student
>your teacher kills himself
>"Really made my think! I guess I'll unify Japan now!"
>>3116658
It worked didn't it?

video games are stupid and for children

I tend to agree, but you can't tell me Mount and Blade isn't fun as fuck.

i too am a joyless fuck
Tankies fear the samurai
wud u rather be a Swanky Yankee or a Nap prone Jap?
when did tanky stop meaning authoritarian, possibly anti semitic nationalists who believed in a centralized economy and start meaning lgbtq feminists?
Who was in the wrong here?
Is suicide a morally acceptable solution to a loss of honour? Through death can one be redeemed for their failures, mistakes and wrong doings?
>>3116522
Imagine being that retarded
>>3116522
Suicide is stupid and selfish, you are objectively better off living and seeking to correct your mistakes, not taking the easy way out and quitting when shit gets hard.
>>3116651
What about if you do something deeply shameful or even criminal?
Well....
Also can someone explain who this guy was? I've seen him a lot recently, was he a French pro-nazi propagandist ?
>>3116384
don't know about him but there were (are) some Germans that are the descendants of Huguenots that came to Prussia under Frederick II due to religious persecution. I guess he was one and therefore the only French thing about him would have been his ancestors and his name.
>>3116384
French-speaking Belgian (Walloon) but not really pro-French.
He wanted to restore the Ducky of Burgundy under Nazi rule and eviscerate France.

Why?
Was Sir Arthur Harris a pioneer in strategic bombing?
Yes, a shame people are spreading myths about him, though.
>>3116391
Well I think it's pretty clear Dresden never happened, but I'm talking about bombing tactics used elsewhere
Anything of historical interest happen here?
>>3116318
Of course. It is a shame that our historical cirriculum does not teach it. All we get is; Indigenous peoples, gold rush, WW2 and Veitnam.
>>3116351
Do you have any recommended books to read about our history?
And those topics are exactly why I hated learning about australian history. Basically the eureka rebellion and ned kelly were supposed to be the most important and interesting thing that happened but frankly I feel bored just thinking about it.
Mankind and birdkind clashed.
let's settle this
which was better, rome as a republic or empire?
Republic : 482 years
Empire: 1480 years
Seems like an easy pick
>>3116259
The republican system failed to govern an empire. It is not a coicindence that the republic began its long decline following the anexation of North Africa and Greece.
>>3116259
Monarchy obviously
/his/, what is the history of adoption? what cultures are prone to adopt the most and why?
this is a pretty good question
bumping for interest
>>3116243
Romans and japanese, to ensure their dinasty's survival.
>>3116243
Adoption of children of the same family/tribe/lineage seems commonplace, especially when married couples couldn't make their own child in monogamous societies.
Adoption outside the tribe probably stems from slavery, since those children are far more likely to be adopted for economic reasons rather than any biological or social necessity
Is this historically accurate?
No only white people did bad things.
I’m going to be straight here. I am a cuckold, but I am also a white nationalist. I believe that whites have contributed more to humanity than any other race, space travel, anti--biotics the list goes on. But when it comes down to it, blacks are just better at fucking. Theres no shame in admitting this. There is no shame in admitting that despite the infinite intellectual and moral superiority of the white race, black cock is just better at pleasing women.
The reason white women are turning from the cause and running to niggers is simply because they are not being sexually satisfied. Can you blame them? If you dont get enough to eat at home youre going to go out to eat. The only way to save the white race from miscegenation is cuckolding. My pure white wife is my angel, the apple of my eye. And I want nothing but the best for her. So every friday she gets to have her fill of big black cock. And our relationship goes on like normal. We love each other, and plan on having a child soon. She also shares my red pilled beliefs.
Monogamy is a tool of the jew. Just give it a chance once. Its exhilarating. Theres something deeply majestic about watching a toned muscular black stud going in and out of a beautiful white woman. Try it once.

Didn't West Africans (now considered to be genetically different from Bantu people thanks to West Africa being a hodgepodge of genes, Bantus are actually closer to Nilo-Saharans) already have farming, animal husbandry, and iron thousands of years ago? The Nok Culture was one of the earlier examples of that.
As for the Bantu conquest of Africa, I guess you could say it was like a combination of the Near East farmers/herders who migrated to Europe and the Yamna people from Central Asia all moving in, outfucking and possibly murdering the locals. I feel bad for the Khoisan though, they didn't have a chance. Well, the Khoikhoi did as they became herders (and apparently they have Eurasian DNA thanks to parts of their ancestors moving out of Africa and coming back in via South Europe for some reason).
If the Bantus didn't conquer Southern Africa, we wouldn't have such qts like pic related.
Why did the Chinese never conquer Japan? Did they fear the Samurai warrior?
Are you familiar with chinese history at all?
The answer to that is probably one of the most significant facts about chinese civilisation in terms of how it treated other peoples.
because china was already too big
Japan wasn't worth conquering.
Is it true homo erectus still walks among us?
Only if you're Australian
Yes. They live in Knin. Absolutely fascinating watching them attempt to simulate civilization!
>>3116046
Yes they are called "black people".
