I heard about this earlier today, sounds fascinating. this certainly seems like a more logical scenario than them crashing away from civilization. Noonan and Earhart were very experienced in their craft, they were flying a state of the art plane, and the plane as a whole has never been found despite extensive searches in the area. The man in the picture does have a striking resemblance to Noonan and they object that the ship is towing measures out to 38 feet, which is the same length as Earhart's plane. A lot of things line up.

We may never know what happened completely, but if this picture proves to be correct, it makes Earhart's story seem a lot more grim now. Because she and Noonan were likely brutally tortured and died of disease in a Saipan prison during or even after the war. Maybe they were even relocated and experimented on by unit 731.

The History Channel actually got a decent scoop for once.

if it's true, the Imperial Japanese Military are even dumber/more incompetent than I thought they could be.

yeah, it's hard to believe that info wouldnt have come out from the japanese side sometime over the last 60 years of US/japanese friendship.

Conquering is the easy part of empire building. Maintenance is where most fall apart, mostly because of cultural differences across the large expanses of land it takes to create an "empire" causing conflict with the ruling elite.

>>3042636
Is this what that hot new meme of "amateurs learn tactics, experts learn logistics" or something like that I've been hearing about so much is about?

>>3042616

The Roman Empire great slowly over centuries, it doesn't compare with the vast conquests of Alexander or Genghis, or even Attila. It seems like most empires collapse after their founder's death, surviving is rather the exceptional case.

As to how some live while most die, pure dumb luck is probably the most important factor, establishing a dynasty to provide continuity of rule is important, but so is having weak neighbours you can quickly gobble up to fuel an Imperial economy. Longer term, a solid economic system, an effective military recruitment program, and an ongoing cultural or literal colonization of the conquered areas is essential, "hands' off" rulers seldom build lasting empires.

desu until something is done it will be hampered by several problems into the distant future, namely way too many fucking people ever provide enough well-paying jobs in an economy that afaik relies heavily on tourism. second they have a huge braindrain. third they have a huge ass military lobby that controls vast parts of the economy and i conjecture probably sucks up a lot of money. fourth huge corruption and unequal distribution of income

You could say they're keeping their ways of life alive.

Wouldn't annexing a huge swath of territory that borders the xiongnu increase chances of conflict?

>>3041810
Yeah but we get to defend it on the internet.

and I'm glad I don't have to die in a shitty wet trench because some faggots think they have to fight other faggots over land, ideals, governments or other dumb reasons and send expendable young man into their death.

>>3041810
That's a fucking good thing. I'm glad that I don't have to die for some rich asshole's profit-wars whose fruits I'd never see, and the only thing I'd have to show for it is an artificial foot after losing my real one to trench foot.

Charles Sanders Peirce. Father of pragmatism and semiotics (with Saussure), polymath, author of countless essays.

>insulting /lit/

So many red flags... I'll just mention that Zoroastrianism promotes polygamy, incest and pedophilia as part of its core believes, as it proposes such relationships produce purer (in body and spirit) children.
This is just because I've seen this thread on /pol/ and it was about white Christians identifying with Zoroastrianism as if its an ally and a close friend in the fight against Islam.

As for your actual request, I haven't read any good books on it. Zoroastrianism itself was forced on the population by the ruling dynasty, and after that Islam was forced by the new ruling dynasty. There isn't much more to say. Its mentioned here and there in books about Persia, in short paragraphs.

To be fair, and although I like the wewuz meme, whites didn't really create civilisation either.

Oh Come now we enjoy insulting /lit/ here. I agree with you though.
