Is it just me, or did the United States Marine Corps of WWII to the Modern Period redifined what a marine force was?

Before them, marines were just infantrymen guarding ships, who may be at least involved in shore operations. But America seemed to redifne the marines as a rapid go-anywhere task force like a self contained army or some shit.

India proves capitalism is garbage. India was wealther than Russia and China at the turn of the 20th century. But because it didn't get rid of capitalism and caste feudalism, it's way less developed and way more impoverished than any socialist country.

"Pagan" is not a word that really means anything. But if "worshipping" inanimate objects is the standard, then most Christians are "pagan" too.

Based on current global events and the current relationships between nations, where do you folks think WWIII will take place? If it even does? Between what nations?

My opinion is picture related. It will start either due to the south China Sea dispute or due to the actions of North Korea. A coup against the leader of NK preformed by the USA could defiantly lead to a major conflict as well.

I also think WWIII and/or war between fully industrialized states has to happen within the next 50 to 70 years or it won't happen at all. Studying what happened between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union is a huge deterrent for most leaders.

Well this is technically /pol/ but since its not a White Genocide, Holocaust Hoax, or WE WUZ thread so I will let this pass.

I mean if there was going to be a war, it would be over something in the Baltics or Ukraine with Russia and the West.

China might get uppity over Taiwan if they went full independence, but unless something major changes over there, the Taiwanese aren't going to do that.
>>
>>3113505
Probably somewhere in Europe. There will be a clash between anti-NATO and anti-EU europeans and pro-American Europeans. The latter will be supported by American interests and their opponents will supported by Russian interests. This is already being played out in the political sphere but policy is always like 25 years ahead of the on goings of the masses.

If not Europe then the middle east. A US conflict with Iran will also demand a response from Russia and China.

Nah. I'll tell you what will happen:

>The state of Pakistan loses even more control over their people
>some of the terrorist groups that operate there therefore gets access to nuclear arsenal

>India awnsers
>China gets involved, they have important interests in the area
>Rusia gets involved, everything happens too close to central asia for them to not feel threatened (also they benefit from china getting weak)
>the USA gets involved because muh world police, probably secretly in the side of Pakistani terrorists thanks to Saudi Arabia
>conflict in the Middle East escalates
>probably some irrelevant african theater
>Europe mostly untouched at first but the refugee horde makes it collapse

Massive disparity in wealth and education. It doesn't matter if Tehran is a second Paris if all the villages in bumfucking nowhere live like it's still the 19th century.

Also the war helped Khomeini to do more or less whatever he wanted with the excuse of the defense of the nation.

To give you an example of how bad things were before the revolution,the dictator that the US had implemented was so disgusting that they refused to help him when Fidel begun scoring victories. Now it is one of if not the most developed Latin American country

I think only North Korea is more sercretive. Maybe this is how they keep the healthcare myth alive.
Those who managed to escape are happy they did.
Also not many people know but Che was at one point the minister of finance and had no knowledge about even the most basic economy. Murderers and failures.

What's the point in learning Latin? I used to study it and got pretty good. I'm not religious and I don't have a particular interest in Roman history or literature.

How am I not better off learning something more useful, or am I deluding myself in thinking that usefulness matters?

It does help you learn better language skills.
But if you're not planning on doing anything with it there are probably better things to study.
Why learn calculus if you're never going to use it?

Then Latin itself (with its complicated grammar and whatnot) probably isn't that useful. Learning a lot of Latin root words will help you though, because academic vocabulary is largely identical from one European language to the next, and it's all based on Greek and Latin. So learning something like Spanish might be better for you.

Let's have a thread about helmets, because helmets.

Any period, any place, if it protects the noggin, it goes here

Bonus points if you add some interesting facts or whatnot.

Starting with the Boeotian style helmet. I always found it interesting, and a bit odd, that a helmet so similar in appearance to the kettle hat, but while the kettle hat primarily was an infantry helmet, the Boeotian helmets seem to have been associated with cavalry.

Also, the classical period to me is a sort of golden age of helmet design, as cast copper alloys let them come up with all sorts of crazy shapes.

The Italo-Corinthian is a pretty wacky thing: It's styled on the Corinthian helmet obviously, but it's worn on the top of the head like any other.
Proper Corinthian helmets were often raised atop the head, in a way that is often associated with Pericles.

As far as I know they may have had cheekguards too, resulting in something really weird looking. I wonder how practical it was, considering the GAPING FUCKING HOLES in it.
