He literally went from Hitler-tier to Gandhi-tier after the Kalinga War. He felt so awful about the deaths in the war that he converted to Buddhism/Jainism (there's some debate on those details). He was also the first major leader to outlaw slavery.

He engaged in several major public works projects, so the outward appearance is certainly that of a rich kingdom. I'm not sure there are any reliable ways of reconstructing the ancient economy, though.

He was like one of those villains who thought all his wars & battles were video games until he saw that the devastation he inflicted on people was all real

>eastern byzantine greek empire

>>3081057
It was nothing but a rump state throughout its entire existence but modern day Greek diaspora and orthodox Christians, just LARPers really, treat as the greatest thing of all time and take every opportunity possible to bitch and moan about it.

I studied Attic and Homeric Greek at university for about a year.

It was fun. Great language, but very difficult. I'm surprised at how much I still understand too.

Phoenician so I could capture the linguistic essence of the proto-merchant Jew.

A good man making hard decisions. He knew the international order which made American neutrality possible was doomed and made the necessary arrangements to prepare the US for war.

You were predestined to learn this - it is a Calvinist board.

Calvinist theology and history have two things in common - there are no accidents.

This is a Messalian board

>>3080346
Neo-Platonist, primarily concerned with negative theology.

They prefered paying their fair share for the defense of the realm to being cuckolded by the oligarchy that had arisen in America.

>>3080286
America was a republic not a monarchy or oligarchy

>>3080291
The starting United States was an oligarchy, Anon. This continued for awhile until the 19th century where it strongly continued in the South until the Union saved it.

Although some of their tanks were actually objectively better, the poles had few of these and their primary means of armor were tankettes but more importantly than that their armored doctrine was far worse.

A better question is how France lost to those little shits when they arguably had the best full production tanks in the world at that point. Although the answer to that is also pretty much the same, the way they were used was different.
