How are they using "ape" in this context? Strictly speaking, humans are apes.
>In response to his soldiers who wanted more money
"Riches are the object of your desires; those riches are in the hands of the Persians and the spoils of this fruitful country are proposed as the prize of your valour and discipline. Believe me, the Roman republic, which formerly possessed such immense treasures, is now reduced to want and wretchedness; since our princes have been persuaded, by weak and interested ministers, to purchase with gold the tranquillity of the barbarians. The revenue is exhausted; the cities are ruined; the provinces are dis-peopled. For myself, the only inheritance that I have received from my royal ancestors is a soul incapable of fear; and as long as I am convinced that every real advantage is seated in the mind, I shall not blush to acknowledge an honourable poverty, which in the days of ancient virtue was considered as the glory of Fabricius. That glory, and that virtue, may be your own, if you will listen to the voice of Heaven and of your leader. But if you will rashly persist, if you are determined to renew the shameful and mischievous examples of old seditions, proceed. As it becomes an emperor who has filled the first rank among men, I am prepared to die standing, and to despise a precarious life which every hour may depend on an accidental fever. If I have been found unworthy of the command, there are now among you (I speak it with pride and pleasure), there are many chiefs whose merit and experience are equal to the conduct of the most important war. Such has been the temper of my reign, that I can retire, without regret and without apprehension, to the obscurity of a private station."

Here are some of their claims:
1) Greek scholars saw black Africans and their superior intellectual prowess as a result of their higher melanin levels. (I know this is scientifically inaccurate, but did the Greeks think this about Africans?)
2) The vampire fascination came from rabid cannibalism in Europe during the Medieval Period.
3) Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was a black woman
4) Charles II of England was black
5) There was a prominent black presence in Scotland including a black king named "King Dubh".
6) Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo were taught their insights by black Africans.
7) Italy became known as a fashion mecca because of the moors.
8) Mozart was taught to play by a black teacher.
9) Beethoven was half-black and when he went dead his melanin "kicked in" and he became a better musician.
10) A black man named Alexander Pushkin invented the Russian language and because of him the Russians don't speak French.
11) Black Africans established the first dynasties in Asia.
12) The founders of the "samurai system" was a black African
13) The founders of the "ninja system" was a black African
14) There is a consistent conspiracy throughout history by white people to hide all of this and "European historians" purposefully omit this information to uphold a system of "white supremacy".

Moors weren't black, it was a term for Muslims particularly North African ones. Moor may have become associated with black people because of Othello.
>>3014632
Is that the historical consensus?
>>3014632
Nope there were black and white moors, like in Mauritania.
How come the afrikaners were the only white colonials who developed their own language?

It is just Dutch for dummies with some nigger words thrown into the mix
How much mutual intelligibility does Afrikaans have with modern Dutch?
>>3011638
Then why is it considered its own language while other colonial dialects are not?
Why do people unironically defend the Romanovs?

Which Empire had the most impact on the modern world?
The British one
>>3007744
Meme answer: British Empire
Real answer: French Empire
>>3007744
British, but that was impacted hugely by the Roman one that preceded it, so it depends on how you look at that.

FUCK my feels.
The Sixth Army also is a sad story.
>Taking Stalingrad, the fighting is tough, but they're making progress
>Command neglects the defensive lines around them
>Reds wipe out the Romanians that were holding the flanks and completely surround the city
>Instead of punching through enemy lines and getting the men out, Hitler is convinced by the Luftwaffe that the Sixth Army can survive by dropping supplies by air
>Surprise: they can't because the Luftwaffe lost too many aircraft against the Britbongs

Their aesthetic always looks so funky to me, I can see how modern day Latino gangsters who makes random graffiti share their root with them, they have the same aesthetic sensibility

Did they fear the black warrior?
If by black warrior you mean diseases, mosquitos and malaria. Yes. Also wild animals.

Reminder that the destruction of the 6th Army can be heavily blamed on Paulus.

Following extract details the breakthrough of the soviets South of Stalingrad
>To Volsky's north, Colonel Tanashchishins initial problem with the 13th Mechanized Corps was the shortage of lorries to keep his infantry advancing at the same rate as the tanks. But then he came up against much harder opposition than the Romanians. The only German reserve on that part of the front, General Leyser's 29th Motorized Infantry Division, advanced to intercept Tanashchishin's corps some ten miles south of Beketovka. Even though Leyser's division managed to inflict a sharp reverse on the Soviet Columns, it was forced to withdraw so as to protect the Sixth Armies Flanks
Holy fuck can ww2 niggers fuck off already? we have like 10 ww2 threads a day and it's always the same shit.
CONT
>The sucess of Leyser's attack suggests that if Paulus had established a strong mobile reserve before the offensive, he could have struck south with it, a distance of little more than fifteen miles, and quite easily smashed the lower arm of the encirclement. On the following day, he could then have sent it north-westwards in the direction of Kalach to meet the main threat from the northern offensive. But this presupposed a clear appreciation of the true danger, which both Paulus and Schmidt lacked.
I feel that if a more dynamic and formidable general in charge this disaster would never have happened.
Unlike say Kursk, Stalnigrad could easily have been avoided.

Apologies. I'm not trying to be a Hitler weeb or Wehraboo
I genuinely want an intelligent discussion on a question that came across my mind recently.
When did the Anglos decide that Hitler had to be removed?
>>3021011
September 3rd, 1939
>>3021011
when they elected Winston Churchill.

Oh look, it's this meme.
