They didn't get to naturally progress like everyone else you idiot. They're living the most comfy, agrarian rich lives, then all of a sudden industrial nazis come in and force them into modern shackles of mentality. Democracy is fine when it comes from the people. You can't expect people of all natural things to respond well to years and years of oppression and disarray and humiliation you closet cuck kek.

Africa has made significant technological progress on its own particularly in the Sahel, the Great Lakes, the Swahili Coast, the Ethiopian Highlands, the Congo Bain and the Niger Delta.

However, a particular barrier on development and statebuilding has been Africa's absurdly low population density and population prior to modern times. Note that in 1950 there were only 220 million Africans in the entire continent. A century earlier, that number was a mere 80 million.

Such dispersion means that bulk trade is difficult (outside the Sahel, the Nile, the Great Lakes, and coasts), and statebuilding is harder (as entire peoples will simply move if they don't like your government). With no strong centralized state, developments are much more difficult to do.

>They're living the most comfy, agrarian rich lives,

M8 that's not even remotely true. Disease death rates and infant mortality were sky high, and low level warfare had been endemic since the Atlantic slave trade intensified during the late 1600s. The population of Africa stagnated for almost 200 years due to all these factors.

As for agrarian rich, central Africa from Cameroon to Equatorial Congo to South Sudan is full of acidic soil that makes crop growth difficult. Much of Nigeria is swampy as shit, the Sahel is marginal land by and large, and from Southern Angola to the Limpopo river is all dryland or desert. (Sans Mozambique)

You crack the code by recognizing there's no necessary disharmony to begin with because the Bible isn't a science text book and/or by not being an Americhrist.

Europe would be much, much better off if Germany never existed.

>>3014658
This. Germany is the antithesis of European civilization.

Depends on what values you hold tbqh:
If you are a Liberal then the Entente would be your side as pro democracy and capitalist with UK, France, and US.
If you are more pro monarchy, traditionalism, and conservative then the Central Powers is more you shtick with Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottomans.

The Fra Mauro map, "considered the greatest memorial of medieval cartography" is a map of the world made around 1450 by the Italian cartographer Fra Mauro. It is a circular planisphere drawn on parchment and set in a wooden frame that measures over two by two meters. It includes Asia, the Indian Ocean, Africa, Europe and the Atlantic. It is oriented with south at the top.

The Fra Mauro world map is a major cartographical work. It took several years to complete and was very expensive to produce. The map contains hundreds of detailed illustrations and more than 3000 descriptive texts. It was the most detailed and accurate representation of the world that had been produced up until that time. As such, the Fra Mauro map is considered one of the most important works in the history of cartography. It marks the end of Bible-based geography in Europe and the beginning of embracing a more scientific way of making maps, placing accuracy ahead of religious or traditional beliefs.

The maker of the map, Fra Mauro, was a Camaldolese monk from the island of Murano near Venice. He was employed as an accountant and professional cartographer. The map was made for the kings and rulers of Venice and Portugal, two of the main seafaring nations of the time.

I'm listening to a podcast about Rome and I'd love to have any and all maps to follow along with.

More interested in territory over time but anything is great.

Economics

WW2.

WWII

Every other superpower got bombed to hell and had to rebuild. The only attack on US soil was Pearl Harbor.

Obviously there are a bunch of other reasons - that's the oversimplified version.

the byzantine empire is one of the most overrated "empire" ever, their entire history is basically them getting their shit pushed in by their neighbour like the arabs, bulgars, latin and the turks and slowly dying a pathetic death just because nobody bothered to finish them off

Thats because the t*rks had to come and ruin it all

Huge influence on East and South Slavic peoples and their languages and religion. Also left a lasting influence in Anatolia. You're just ignorant of history and cultures.

You can't. The Qur'an is only truly the word of Allah in the language of Allah (Arabic). Any English translation simply is not the Qur'an.

>>3011919
Learn classical Arabic first.

Also I suggest reading the Greeks and the works of Hegel before talking the Qur'an.

he ruled for significantly longer and had more legitimacy yes. hitler basically ruined his comfy little fascist state.

Shame that Italy had a monarchy and Mussolini couldn't go through a gruesome civil war. Mussolini had a lot less actual control than his northern and eastern counterparts since the king was still in place and his rise to power was relatively bloodless.

>>3010174
Yes but with the Manifesto Dell'a Razza thing he just followed whatever Hitler told him to like a weakling.

Money lending was forbidden to Christians (usury). Jews were only really tolerated in the West (if at all) so long as they carried out this role.

>>3010312
but why where they banned from other professions

The same way they are "forced" into pornography, Hollywood, and trafficking of human organs...they do not understand morals or ethics
