1. Nothing matters.
2. There is no reason to believe in anything. 3. There is no reason to not believe in anything.
4. There is no reason to behave in certain ways.
5. There is no reason not to behave in certain ways.

That is it. That is what over 2 thousand years of philosophy has brought us to. This is the end product of the greatest minds in history.

They colonized most of the Mediterranean, created Carthage, had the first democracy in the world and spread the alphabet, why are they so unknown to Merryfats?

They also helped building the temple of Salomon among many other things.

What gives?

So that it could allows for maximum damage when it reneged on its partnership.

Is it easier to work against your enemy from the beginning? Or to rather enter into his confidences, and then strike when you are vital to his security and know his weaknesses?

Italy was more worried about France in the 1880s. Romania made a similar alliance with AH and Germany to counter Russia.
>>
>>3086039

France was both their colonial rival (Italy was cucked in Tunis, Morocco) and political rival after the way the italian unification happened in the late stages (France prevented italian capture of Rome until they themselves were btfo by Germany in 1870 and Italy took the chance to enter Rome).

Basically France was sabotaging Italian efforts to make Italy great again in the Mediterranean.

After from time to time stumbling upon historical events in the history of the United States such as the Whiskey rebellion etc I've decided I want to read as much as I can on the history on this interesting land which I have never visited.

I've read the Federalist Papers now I'd like some more meat on it all.

A great dense and academic history book on the entirety of US history(unti somewhere in the 20th century or some shit) is what i'm looking for, anyone got any good suggestions?

Everytime I try and look for one, 98% of the searches end up with "A People's History of the United States" which is not at all what I am looking for.

No muh evil whitey marxist garbage and no just MURICA FUCK YEAH propaganda.

No, but it does buy you the things you need to be happy, unless you are happy being a homeless bum who survives solely on donated food.

They also pretended to want to invade India to tie the bongs down even more.

>>3085582
Europe was gravely affected by the war due to cotton not coming into the continent. Unemployment in Europe skyrocketed because of the war. That's partly why Britain and France considered siding with the confederacy.

What did Dark Ages/Post-Roman Britain look like? What were the population densities of different regions, how closely were villages spaced, where was the wilderness? How quickly did Romano-British culture fade or morph with Constantine's military withdrawal? What did people look like, what did the military garb look like? It's a period that looks very fascinating but one that I know little about.

Britain was inhabited by Celtic speaking Romano Brits the region was controlled by many different warlords who were weak from defending against the Pictish raiders from the north and Irish pirates to the west. As for population density it was probably depopulated as with the other western roman provinces of Gaul, Hispania, and Italy, Illyria. Saxons shoah'd them by destroying their cities and towns and forcing refugees to move west to Cornwall, Wales, Cumbria, or to the European mainland in Brittany or the top of Asturias in Spain.

The fact that it happened is beyond question. Some of the details (like HOW the people were killed) are disputable.

It happened. Holocaust denial isn't real scholarship.
