Arab Oil Embargo due to the Yom Kippur war crippled many US allies. ARVN couldn't operated self-propelled artillery and tanks.

Americans then decided to follow their forefather anglos and become full perfidious.

In a proxy war, without a superpower's support, the result was inevitable.

Arabs and Anglos really.

People trained and equipped by a distant power to which they had no loyalty and motivated by "those commies are evil", unlike their counterparts, who were trained and equipped by themselves along with more nearby powers and who were motivated by ideological fervor.

>>3078657
Technically Europe and Asia is the same continental plate, so Eurasia is the most important continent

>>3078683
And India is its own subcontinent isn't it?

>>3078689
Yes, but still part of Asia.
>Is this the most important continent in the world?
Probably this century and the coming. It wasn't so much the last century or the 3 centuries before. But anything before the 1600, it has been one of the most important if not the most important overall.

Fuck it, let's keep this going.

i dont get it

didnt they have their own sort of reformation later on? old believers iirc

i dont know the answer to your question though sorry, id also be interested in the answer, as well as how the Copts and other churches reacted

>>3078558
Never really thought about the Copts, though a lot of people don't

>>3078552
No fucks were given.
During the Reformation in Europe Orthodox church had other problems like maintaining its existence under pressure of catholics and turks (western and southern slavs, greeks, etc)

>>3078414
Anon, they ruled Russia during the time that it was becoming a global superpower. It's not that hard to imagine that they got rich over that time.

>>3078433
I mean what were their assets made from?

>>3078444
The answer : the way every Russian has ever become rich, by stealing from his own people.

How the hell did Nicky get so rich?

Seriously 400 billion, what is wrong with Russia?

I think that most people who are interested in military history would give Giap a lot of credit. He's just not a big famous name in the West unless you specifically are interested in history.
Also, the mass casualties he took (while to a large extent understandable given what he was fighting against) count against him to some extent, and so does the clusterfuck that was the Tet Offensive (which, while politically successful, was a military disaster).

Joseph Stalin.

At the top of my head, only a few other men match his ability to be both hero and villain.

> son of a serf, became leader of a superpower

His class mobility is an example to all other ambitious children out there.

>inb4 some /pol/ack or leftist posts Hitler or Mao.

Pic related because he:
>Restored dynastic stability to the empire
>Fixed the runaway inflation problems
>Beat the empires various foes
>Basically rescued the Byzantine empire from itself.

Did socialist system have legitimacy for anyone in Eastern Europe?

Eastern Europeans now tend to say that they (their parents) hated every minute of that, although I'm not sure if they felt like this all the way through from 1950s onwards or just fell for the dominant story in late 80s/90s.

>>3078315
No, the GDR is unironically the closet humanity ever got to a communist paradise.

Germans were better communists than Russians ever were.

Book smarts are one thing but if it ain't tried and tested by personal experience it might be bullshit

>>3078184
If you do not fully understand all the implications of what you learn, be wary of claiming it as knowledge or wisdom.

Wisdom comes from experience.

>>3078184
It means that popular theories can be wrong and inexperience means you can't tell fact from fiction.

Here's a quick rundown

>>3078151

>When the economy is bad

Increase government spending and lower taxes to promote growth.

>When the economy is good

Decrease government spending and raise taxes to pay off debt

That's basically it.

Government spends more in hard times to stimulate growth of the economy to get it back up on its feet, and similarly spends less in upswings to try to moderate the short term economic growth before the downswing hits. the faster the economy rises, the harder it plummets.

If you're unfamiliar with it pic related is basically the problem of evil

>inb4 edgy teen

And Catharism was a dualist christian sect that essentially said everything in the world was irredeemably evil.

There is obligation to accept God as omnibenevolent, which is itself often a manifestation of an Abrahamic theology, which again is not obligatorily mandated to believe in God.

"Everything happens for a reason" is the best you can do.

>"Everything happens for a reason" is the best you can do.
That's a pretty shitty justification ttytt

Talk about projecting

The correct answer is that Br*tain and G*rmany are both evil, irredeemable nations whose populations should be exterminated. Vive la France!

The eternal Anglo has pretty much managed to fabricate history.
