There is no such thing as objective morality.

Subjectively, it killed a very large amount of Germans and ruined Germany as a country, which is certainly a good thing.

England would still be swept up by the Reformation. Too many political enemies were staunch Catholics for the more pragmatic monarchs to avoid the alternative that Protestantism gave them.

Plus the memory of the Wars of the Roses meant that Henry VIII desperately wanted a son no matter what.

>>2945678
Yet he never got one. Really makes you think.

Look at the dog breeds afficionados consider to be beautiful. They are all inbred to be near the point of biological extinction, yet they are not.

The bar for beauty was a lot lower back then aswell, same as height, athletic skill, intelligence etc. etc.

They are being toppled as we speak, their economy is in decline and being surpassed by former colonies, and every terrorist attack in their cities and homes is karmic justice.

britain is in shambles now and they pale in comparison to their former self

America only fought third tier shit that was left after Russia smashed all their proper forces

>>2945200
They didn't and they tried to. The nazi's planned for an on going guerrilla campaign and a continuation of the nazi state that never materialised. They also made numerous attempts to just surrender to the west and continue fighting the Soviets, which were all refused.

>>2945200

To be fair, America probably wouldn't have accepted anything other than unconditional surrender because that's just what America does. Blame it on Grant.

It probably hasn't increased as much as you think it is, because it's become much more open and less stigmatized in the west today due to the sexual revolution. The major cause in its increase is probably that nobody's getting married anymore, whereas most people before the sexual revolution were getting married in their late teens.

Birth control, urbanization and mass media normalization.

It's set in 1403. I can tell because I'm the greatest medieval history expert on the planet.
And it's also written inside the D in Deliverance.

>I know people like to give Hitler shit about attacking USSR but it was completely justified

I believe the main point is that Hitler launched a war that was genocidal both in its intent and execution.

Hitler might have faulty intelligence about USSR, but nowadays it's pretty established that Stalin had no intent for a full scale war. The Red Army was in no shape to conduct a war (and Barbarossa showed that). Stalin wanted to fuck around here and there in order to squeeze some more concessions (mainly in forms of technology transfers), but fuck he didn't want war, at least not yet.

>>2944352

There is literally no evidence that Stalin was planning to invade Germany. Also, people would be a lot more sympathetic to Hitler's invasion of Russia if it had simply been to remove Stalin from power rather than a deliberate effort to depopulate the USSR.

>>2944352
Germany prob would have WON ---- If not for Hitler - they should have killed him or stuffed him in a little box --- and just destroyed Moscow & USSR!
ALSO - we should have helped

Because the Balkans are closer to the core of Europe, the Caucasus are where Europe ends.

>Historically speaking, why is this region a clusterfuck?
It's a mountainous area so the people there were split up into various distinct tribes. They never merged together and so today you have a variety of ethnic groups occupying a small space.

Said small space is also geographically vital for Russia to control. This causes conflict.

Define "worst battle"

How many whites died

It's not like French West Africa had internal borders or anything.

>>2943406
Every nation has internal borders. I could split Germany into 14 states but it wouldn't really be "Germany" would it?

>>2943409
No, then it would be the Roman Empire.

Yeah, the Middle East

There is a vice documentary about donkey fuckers in Colombia. Its quite popular and seen as normal for teenage males.
