what a selfish glory-seeking cunt. He didnt want to gain independence for independence's sake, but to be the guy everyone remembers washington as. He did it all for his own legacy, cunt had no loyalty to anything but his desires.

Tell me about the Vietnamese civilization and kingdoms in the past. Also post cute fashion(male and female I guess) if you have some please. How was their military and culture? Were their really female soldiers equally trained with males at some point or is it just a huge meme?

It's is a method of 'rewarding' people without actually giving then anything of worth. In normal economy you get a salary bonus if you perform satisfactory. You can then spend that extra cash on someyhing. In communist economy the state was unable to provide enough goods and services to satisfy normal demand, let alone the demand of people who would get awarded with extra cash. So instead they gave those people useless shiny tokens of appreciation.

Satan is a deceiver. That's his only power. It's the equivalent of a younger sibling lying to the parents to get you into trouble so they could get something. Or the democrats of today.
>>
>>3006724
Evil meaning devoid of Good. Yes he is in the sense that he chose to completely remove himself from God's presence and will. He has no love, goodness or mercy. So what do you do when your the champion of misery and selfishness, you share that with whoever you meet. However he's not a recognizable threat when you stay with God. He most hates The Virgin Mary because she took his place as the highest of creation when he decided to leave out of pride because he was jealous of the humans. Hail Marys tortures him, he can't stand it. God Bless.
>>
>>3006724
No. Satan is simply God's "prosecuting attorney" angel, and is on good working terms with him well into the bronze age, see Job.

Was there no prospect of noble women having a chance to inherit property or titles throughout the history of Japan? Like even in the Heian period? I know it was considerably less(if any) in the periods with the rise of the military class and shogunate and even more so with warring states period, but I just wanted to know if it ever really happened.
In Europe for example, though it was still difficult since preference was always for the uncle or nephew (if no son)and even then, the daughter would be expected to marry and the husband could take over most control but at least there was some prospect. Hence why dudes were super pissed at no male heir as we all know (and super selective with who the daughter married). And you had women like Isabella of Castillo and Eleanor d'Aquitaine who at least in theory, inherited those lands, hence why noblemen wanted to marry them and it was seen as appropriate.
In Japan, however, it seems males inheriting was so important that they would adopt a son before giving it to a daughter who I guess, once inherited, would otherwise then marry a guy who could take over. And in the case of an emperor who died but had a young son, it seems the grandfather on his mother's side would take over as regent rather than his mother in most if not all cases. It's like they really did NOT want noble men from another family taking over anything when they marry their inherited daughters. They also didn't want women ruling at all. It's just interesting considering how even Europe was not so biased.
Are my observations incorrect /his/? Help me out.
And I want real answers based on some evidence, not /pol/ memes and women suck jokes so you fags can just fuck off.

Well there have been Empress in Japan.
If I recall correctly there was a old Chinese chronnicle or document or whatever (one of the first notices about Japan) in which is said that it´s a country of "queens".
>>
>>3006600
It's more that the Japanese kept the custom of adopting adult males into the family, something the Greeks and Romans did but that died out in Europe after the fall of Rome. Europeans have traditionally been just as averse to leaving land to women, but they didn't have this "safety net" of being able to adopt a man to inherit.
Why didn't the Chinese concur Mongolia?

They did.
The Ming did it first in order to crush the Yuan dynasty and secure China from mong attack, then the Qing made it permanent reality following the bloody Dzungar War. But then the collapsing Qing meant the Mongols can break off and maintain their independence by sucking foreign power cock (namely: Russian Empire/USSR)
Even then the mass of the mongols live in China and the most useful of Mongol lands- Inner Mongolia- is Chinese territory.

I was told recently that China didn't have a concept of nationalism, or even a proper name for their country, until the Kuomintang/Nationalist Party created it from scratch and the Communists continued propagating it.
This seems like it doesn't make much sense because I've also been told that modern Chinese hypernationalism has its roots in a "Middle Kingdom syndrome" where China has always considered itself to be special and superior to all other cultures, which sounds a lot like nationalism.
Is this an actual fact or some kind of misinterpretation of what is meant by nationalism?

Nope.jpg.
Considering the KMT just continued the "Zhonghua Minzu" memes of the Qing Dynasty, just rebranded as "Five Races, One Nation."

Nationalism is a concept that wasn't fully conceived in the mid 1800's.
>>
>>3006379
There are two different mainstream approaches in nationalism. The first one is primordialism, the other one is constructivism.
