Considering it was invented during the transatlantic slave trade and had nothing to do with Islam, yes

"White race" is an American meme.

>>3022347
Yes it would, people would just think it ends with the Sahara and not the Mediterranean.

Because it was. Alsace-Lorraine was never threatened by an attack from Germany ever again.

It boggles my mind that France didn't bother to annex parts of Netherlands and Belgium in the interwar period in order to strengthen their defences, like the Soviets did with numerous countries.

>>3022188
>The location of the line
Most of the French Border isn't GREAT for attacking; there's the Alps in the south, The Jura and Volges in the North. So it was very, very obvious that any attack against France would come through the low countries. The Maginot line was meant to protect France's greatest vulnerability, the exact same place the Germans came from last time.

>The line itself
The line was meant to be manned by conscripts so that the Standing Army could be freed up to fight an offensive war of maneuver in Belgium and the Netherlands. It was meant to be insurance that would catch the German counteroffensive. This was the plan in 1938 when Gamelin wanted to invade Germany if it threatened Czechoslovakia, and this was the original plan for 1939 before he got spooked the fuck out and wussed out.

>The weak part
Belgium naturally wasn't happy that France was building their impregnable line BEHIND them. It doesn't say an awful lot about how much France valued Belgium as an ally. As a result, the rest of the line was hastily built up, and not nearly in the same quality as the rest of the line.

Communism, socialism and marxism doesn't work.

You might want to read "The Black Book of Communism" and "The Gulag Archipelago" for a start.

Gee, it's like those Germans did the thing for profit.

He shouldn't have got close to the Soviets and also preparing to attack Israel was a mistake

Also, he could have been just a tiny bit more grateful towards burgerland for saving his ass during the Suez Crisis.

They did and they failed. A unified Turkestan would make more sense.

Gee OP, I'm stumped. It has the potential of being such an organic union of states.

>>3021423
There´s not.

>>3021423
Because killing a man because you can't debate his ideas, especially before he formulated those ideas, is pathetic.

Marxism isn't that hard to debate and debunk.

I would like if you give me an example. Please.

Lack of morale that accompanies forcing peasants from bumfuck nowhere to fight for a cause they believe in. The Greeks were fighting for independence, the achaemenid conscripts fought because a rich guy told them to.

Oh and infantry tactics favored the heavily armored Greeks in their own terrain.

>>3021274
Actually it had to do with poor planning and light infantry against heavy infantry with better deployments.

A persian shield couldn't withstand a hoplite spear. That's a problem.

Greeks have a unified, professionally trained soldiers, Achaemenids have large army from vassals throughout the empire which was rather segregated and disunited, some are never really loyal in the first place

Guess what, people will keep growing and in a century or two people will say the same thing about us now.

>>3021246
>people will keep growing
how?

>>3021296
Around the waist and thighs mostly.

well today it's still about 0.6% of the US population so whatever it was its probably so small you could consider it a rounding error.

Why have I never heard this stereotype before

>>3020969
Alone ? No, but if France grew some balls and told the UK to go fuck itself, they might have a chance together, a big chance actually... The Sudetenland were heavily fortified and Czechoslovakia was ready for war.

>>3020969
That was never the plan, Czechoslovakia was never an independent country, it was a complete Anglo puppet and Benes was an agent of London. Once London decided they're not fighting Hitler, Benes refused to enter a war as well and ran off to London.

>>3021025
>Czechoslovakia was ready for war
this, they just didn't stand a chance alone in invasion of Germany

No.

It's a compelling view on human history by a non-historian that brings up points worthy of discussion. It is not an authoritative final word.

If anything you troglodytes doomed Europe.

You can tell that an action is generally correct if DYEL faggots cry about it.

Such actions include winning the Cold War, defeating Nazi Germany, entering WW1 on the side of the entente, capital punishment, and abortion.
