if by do something for their kingdom you mean empty the treasury, overextend the fuck out of the armies, fail to mend the religious schism, and fail to leave a capable heir, then yes, justinian did something. he fucked the byzantine empire over and would eventually allow the turks and muslims to batter a kingdom he had a hand in crippling.

Anyone interested in Jacobitism here? Or legitimism in general? I'm warming up to it, but American so I'd like to here form UK/commonwealth folks.

This is a great, long-form piece by Charles Coulombe:

imagine a nation/settlement that is completely based on a synthetic language made in the lab by top linguists. would this society prosper more so then places with more organic traditional languages? According to relativistic language theory you are only your own understanding of your mother tongue. Theoretically, couldn't we manufacture a language that encourages work ethic, philosophical insight, and social cohesion while steering clear of ideas of conflict and war?

When you're not a real country you get a complex and go through a lot of trouble to try and show everyone you're real. Everyone else was into colonialism so That Country just had to join in too but like all faggot poseurs with no identity had to go and ruin it for everyone.

Newton didn't want anything of that pleb shit. He intended to be virgin his whole life because he thought it was more pious.

He also thought he was a literal gift from God and was able to peer deep into reality itself, which he did, but then he did a bunch of bat shit crazy pseudoscience near the end of his life, so maybe it evens out.

Why does nobody ever talk about this war?

It was pretty fucking huge, had a ton of different political factions and ideas and was generally just so fucking chaotic.

Is there a list of all factions involved in the Russian civil war?

A lot of people talk about it. There were all kinds of Whites, Reds, Basmachis and traditionalists fighting. The US even got involved and the Whites attacked the very country set to defend them.

Am I only one who wonders why Portugal didn't have retain Cape Verde and Sao Tome Principe? I understand the islands to have been uninhabited or sporadically inhabited when Portugal conquered them and the only differences between them and Madeira and the Azores seems to be distance.

One difference is that Madeira and the Azores were uninhabited when the Portus arrived and are still populated predominantly by Portus. On the other hand, Cabo Verde is mostly African/Mulatto and it aligned itself with independence of Guinea Bissau so they both got it in the 70s

What made alliance-switching so common during the Napoleonic Wars?

Did Napoleon trust Russia to stay on his side when they first switched, and not betray him?
