>tfw microbes destroyed aztec civilization

>>3110553
Its amazing that if people don't trim the jungle, the whole complex would be swallowed up in about ten years.

>>3110553
I once read that the Aztecs sacrificed children from the baby pyramids and adults from the larger one

>Warmer
That's the answer. Hot weather makes people stupid, lazy and short-sighted.

Britain has an immensely fertile climate

People don't like to be attacked. You for real negro?

Because their entire world view is based on paranoia and a massive persecution complex.

Appeased and tried to prove their worth to potential colonist and also acted as a buffer state between France and Britain. France attempted a few times to take over iirc but failed.

Playing the game really well. I don't remember the specifics of Siam that well but basically they westernised rapidly. As for the latter half of the 20th century they were basically America's bulwark in SE Asia but were shrewd enough to make sure that the traffic was one way.

It really depends on what the basis of tpur morality is. It has less to do with intelligence and more to do with how its defined.

Yeah, it was actually interesting.
One guy was posting pics about his grandpa, and another guy was talking about a vet he knew who shot a flak cannon on a naval ship in the Pacific.

Mods being garbage is one of the few stable truths of 4chan.

That's no way to live. You need comrade Kim il-sung to guide you.

Just envision a maximally powerful being that tells you what to do under pain of endless torment. Voila meaning

Russia was getting too big

>>3110148
So it was just a land grab on Russia's part and England and France trying to stop their expansion?

>>3110144
Not to mention ironclad steamers with exploding shot putting a fiery rough end to the age of sail wooden, solid-shot ships of the line.

>Would it be inaccurate to call them an English colony?

Lowlands no, Highlands yes.

>>3110107
it's called a personal union, they are two countries united by a single monarch(and in this case also parliament) so they act as one single country

the best comparison is poland-lithuania, the lithuanian monarch inherited the throne of poland and lithania became a junior partner in a personal union with poland and polish was the dominant language and everyone called the union just poland

another example is hungary-croatia

austria-hungary is a bit of a different scenario as hungary had it's own parliament whereas the parliaments of england and scotland were merged ~1700ad

>>3110107
They made good colonialists.

>>3109970
its because Sorbs are white

>>3109970
Whether forced or encouraged, Sorbs have integrated well into Germany, they were also partly isolated from othe Slavic nations (Czechoslovakia's borderland with them was populated by Germans, and Poland at the time didn't border Sorb territory). Also there aren't really that many.

>>3109970
They are top tier larpers tho.

Whatever you say tankie.

No, in practice the free market is chaos. What we call the "free market" in Western nations is just highly regulated capitalism. And sure, maybe that works. But without all those regulations, it's a disaster.

>>3109527
is regulated capitalism with a welfare system the only system that works in practice?

>>3109521

In a completely "free" market very few people would have access to emergency services or legal processes. This sort of environment is discussed in SPQR in the context of the Roman empire. The typical Roman was basically on their own if anything went wrong in their life. Somebody stole from you? It's up to you and whatever friends to find the guy and get your stuff back if possible. Your house is on fire? It's up to you and your neighbors to put it out however you can. Have a dispute you want to settle in courts? Pfft.....good luck. Chances are that unless you have enough wealth and connections to give you increased priority, the courts will simply be too busy to deal with whatever your issue is. Maybe call your governor for help? Nope, he's either completely apathetic or he's busy helping the 1000 or so people who are in line in front of you. Check back in a few months to see if there is a spot available.
