No, they were pure African nig-nogs.

>>3370940
No, they wouldn't meet our current standards for being "white", in fact they would've looked quite different to modern Europeans and not just in terms of skin, hair and eye colour but appearance in general.

only the romans were white

which one of my butthurt neighbirs are you? i bet you're some croatian manlet gypsy

stay mad

From what I know of Serbis, while they're still sore over Bosnia and Kosovo, and sometimes even Macedonia, they're particularly asspained over losing Montenegro. No beaches for Serbia.

They will, however, argue that Vojvodina makes up for almost all of it.

>>3370583
Literally nobody gives a shit about Montenegro. People who went there on vacation still do, and by the end they were such cunts that we were actually glad to see them go. Kosovo and Bosnia remain our eternal asspain.

Steps To Remove: A Yugoslav Essential

If you want to understand the conflict, read: "London for immigrant suckers; So long Yugoslavia"

Kosovo je Serbia

>but I think that one wasn't especially successful since Napoleon is still seen positivly by many people.

Who the fuck sees Napoleon as anything other than Imperialist ego-maniac that was bent on conquering all of Europe?

maybe if you lived on the sentinel islands and chucked spears at people

>>3369835
No it wouldn't as history is the study of written sources, do you mean prehistory i.e. before writing was invented? Even then they used to scribble pictures on cave walls so a thing to make marks with wouldn't be seen as some crazy "alien" invention.

>the only way to write something down is with a pencil

It was worth a fuckton to Margaret Thatcher.

And I supposed it gave the British brand a boost, showing the world they could still kick shit when motivated properly, even if their enemy was short bus-tier.

Destroyed Argentine militarism, to the great benefit of South America generally.

Don't you think that would've imploded in a decade if we'd just left it alone? It was laughably unsustainable.

>>3369743
That armor would be worn by a prince of a king. You have to prove that you're worth your title to your allies and vassals. It's also not heavy, and engravings serve an actual tactical purpose of being easier to clean, use in battle, and raise morale. THeo nly problem is the thing on his head, which probably means this isn't a suit of armor at all but a ceremonial piece meant to commemmorate the actual suit of armor it was designed for.

I doubt you'll find any actual armor you can mock without sounding like an idiot who doesn't know what hes talking, no wonder you talk shit about presidents

>>3369743
This is so obviously ceremonial that I'm not sure what your fucking point is. Also, you'd be surprised how quiet and practical much historical armor was, despite appearances. Yeah, you'd hear it, but it wouldn't sound like I-beams grating against each other in an 80s film.

>>3369743
engravings offer to tactical advantage whatsoever

>Waddan, Libya


Waddan Castle, surrounded by its massive and irregular enclosure walls, with a mosque at its feet, was founded in the 7th century by Arab conquerors who had come from the east to convert the Maghreb populations to Islam. And Waddan did indeed become one of the main centres for the spread of Islam.
The citadel of Waddan also included dwellings for the population within its walls. An impressive 35 kilometre-long underground canal provided the fortress with water directly from a spring in the El-Bhallil mountains. It was the symbol of the rulers' cleverness and cunning, for it served both to provide water and as a defence against enemies. Waddan remained the capital of Arab Al Jufrah until the Ottoman rulers transferred their centre of power to Sokna.

>Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russia, 689230

>Chukotka remained mostly outside the control of the Russian Empire and consequently other foreign powers (American, British, Norwegian) began to hunt and trade in the area from about 1820 onwards. After the sale of Alaska to the United States, American whalers and traders especially extended their activities into Chukotka and foreign influence reached its peak. By 1880, the Russians reacted by setting up coastal patrols to stop American ships and confiscate their property. And in 1888, the administrative region of Anadyr was created. Yet Russian control diminished again and around 1900, a large stream of foreigners entered Chukotka, lured to the region by the Yukon gold rush in 1898.
>In 1909, in order to keep the region within Russian control, two districts were created within the Anadyr Region: the districts of Anadyr and Chukotka. The Russian government granted concessions to foreign companies such as the Hudson's Bay Company and the US Northeast Siberia Company, which was granted gold, iron, and graphite mining rights in the entire Chukotka between 1902 and 1912.
>Wrangel Island in particular was subject to claims by the United States and Canada. In 1916, the Russians officially claimed the uninhabited island. But in 1921, Canadian Vilhjalmur Stefansson made a serious attempt to claim it for Canada by populating it and building a small settlement. Another contingent arrived in 1923 but a year later, the Soviets permanently conquered the island, removing the remaining inhabitants, and thereby ending all foreign influence.

>In 1986, an attempted coup led by the Seychelles Minister of Defence, Ogilvy Berlouis, caused President René to request assistance from India. In Operation Flowers are Blooming, the Indian naval vessel INS Vindhyagiri arrived in Port Victoria to help avert the coup.

In Russian, not the Cyrillic alphabet itself but trying to figure out where the stress goes

Getting a native speaker to actually talk to you instead of switching to English. Czech is really fucking hard to pronounce (we just don't read the letters the same way, we combine them and they pronounce each one individually, plus where are the fucking vowels), and the grammar is a nightmare for English speakers.
