I was always mildly interested in history, but as I grew up I got too wrapped up in inane consumerist fiction.
Then one day, the lore just wasn't deep enough.
Fictional settings, with few notable exceptions, can be as wide as an ocean but are almost always an inch deep.
Not so with history. History is the deepest, dankest lore. From the original fiction that is mythology that influences ancient societies that our own are descended from, there is so much to learn, appreciate, speculate, and enjoy. There's so much to it I could spend the rest of my life happily learning about one subject, just one, and never have scratched the surface.
Besides, being able to relate the history of a civilization and culture to our own is a lot more interesting than mindlessly recalling the 27 times Iron Man fought Dr. Doom and the differences and similarities in their suit design technology, or explaining the cosmology of the fucking Elder Scrolls universe. Who cares what their tax policies are, do you know what your own government's tax policy is, and do you know how it is descended from the Roman or Ottoman taxation methods, which in turn come from rudimentary bronze age methods?

After the conquest of France, the Germans sent peace offers to the British, which Churchill refused. Was this really in Britain's best interest, as the continuation of the war led to the end of the British Empire afterwards? Obviously it wouldn't be in the rest of non-German Europe's interest, but it's not like that matters much to perfidious Albion.

A divided Europe is always in the Anglo's best interest. And it's a damn good idea. America now practices those same policies.
>>
>britain obviously knew beforehand that they would lose their empire after the war

Wehraboo logic.
>>
If the British hadn't continued the war then either the Americans would have threatened war with them to force them to continue after Pearl Harbor and the outcome would have been the same or the Americans would have stayed out of Europe and the Soviets would have probably conquered all of it including Britain.

I finally finished it today. Ask me anything about Roman history up to 212 AD.

The book ends in 212 AD because that is when the Edict of Caracalla took place, granting universal citizenship to all men living in the empire and thus erasing the distinction between the conquerors and the conquered.

I miss the good old orthodox threads. I miss the substantive theological discussions. I miss Constantine. Why can´t /his/ be the way it was until recently?

Fedoras begone. Away with ye infidels.

Orthodoxy: wholesomeness, tradition.
Roman Catholicism: clown masses, refugees, gays, Islam.
Protestantism: zionism, snakes, more gays.

It seems like the point at which Rome was fucked was the moment that the legions became more loyal to their commanding officers than the nation itself.

Was this an inevitable outcome of Marius' reforms or could something have been done to keep the soldiers loyal to nation first?

>Was this an inevitable outcome of Marius' reforms
Yes, because Marius's reforms were a limp-wristed compromise which didn't go nearly far enough
>could something have been done to keep the soldiers loyal to nation first?
Yes, a state pension for the soldiers, perhaps some kind of state-managed land distribution program to put retiring soldiers on good farms.

Marian reforms were the first professional army in history, and wouldn't have caused problems if the Senate just paid the damn army. Throughout Roman history the Senate could've just pooled their resources and created an army loyal to them but instead they left it to the the generals and eventually the Caesars and wondered why their influence and popularity waned so much.
>>
>>3114797

The very first thing Augustus did upon seizing power was to making sure the legions would remain loyal to the emperor by having the emperor pay all salaries directly, plus a substantial retirement package for those who retired after serving at least 16 years. He also changed the rules regarding Triumphs (victorious military parades) so that a Triumph could only be led by the emperor himself, or by a member of his immediate family. In this way, it was made clear that the Legions, and their generals, were all subordinate to the Emperor.

My Great Grandpa fought in WW2. He was in France about 2 weeks after D-Day and was Master-Sargent who dealt with communications primarily.
One of my Grandpa's fought in Korea, however he was stationed in the Medteranean to protect Italy/Spain/Greece from any USSR attack.
Another grandpa fought in Vietnam, he was stationed on some base near the border. He never really saw any action but they had weekly attacks by the Vietcong where the USAF would just napalm them.
My Step-brother was also stationed in Hong Kong a few years ago, as the first line of defense against the Chinks.

All I really know is that my grandfather occupied Japan. He was a bit too late for WWII. My grandmother's two older brothers fought at the very end, and her little brother joined right afterwards, though. This is all maternal, as my father never really talked about family history, and died shortly after his father, when I was in my 'tweens, and his mother lived in California, and I never knew her.
I should get on Ancestry, or something.

Why are people mad at the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire? They were Soros backed Aztec citizens that were planted by George Soros and friends in order to defame and make the Spanish look like monsters when they were liberating Meso-America from leftism and from SJWs and the regressive left.

Have you ever read any of George Soros books?

In the Alchemy of Finance he pretends an open society is one that embraces capitalism and free markets, but in his other books he shows his true colour.

He's the most evil Jewish communist alive.

Can someone tell me about the economic instability that occured as a result of the feudal era in Japan? How often did the currency change and what were the consequences? How bad did it get by the time of the warring states period?

Until Tokagawa finally managed to take over everything, Japan was a collection of warlords that constantly battled for supremacy. People identified much more strongly with their locality than with the "nation." This is part of the reason why the Imperial Japanese were so fanatical about stressing national spirit, they were trying to actively dissolve local identities in favor a new national identity.

To regulate trade going both ways, present an obstacle for upstart tribes, to show them what Rome was capable of just to keep out some rabble rousers far from the center of power, to protect Roman citizens and investments south of it, to give the legions something to do...
