Its time he got a chance to redeem himself

Napoleon was great friends with Alexander after 1807. He was totally convinced he had charmed him and had nothing to worry about. Alexander, on the other hand, was always wary of Napoleon. I don't see what Napoleon could have done about this.

His biggest mistake was the implementation of the Continental System, a trade embargo, as a means to bring down the UK. It ended up hurting France and her European neighbours (whom Napoleon had enforced it on) more than Britain. It was the failure to implement the Continental System which forced Napoleon to invade Spain in 1807 and Russia in 1812. This policy ultimately lost him many friends, but his hubris clouded his judgement late in his career and he believed he was invincible. Spain and Russia would have been worthy allies.

>>2912845
and if no continental system occours?

>>2912849
Napoleon's ultimate victory in Europe relied on him convincing the other European powers to align with him instead of Britain. The Continental System was a disaster because the UK was the only industrialised nation in the world at this point and pretty much every country in Europe relied on imports from them.

There would be no need for an invasion of Russia or Spain. He also would have probably done a better job of getting along with Austria whom he should have had an excellent relationship with after he married Marie-Louise, an Austrian princess, to cement the alliance.

Although he had forced Prussia to ally with him it was unlikely they would ever get over losing 1/3 of their territory. But if he had the rest of the European powers on his side there is nothing the UK could do.

Nobody cared because fuck China. There is not a single person outside China that enjoys dealing with the Chinese. This includes all the European powers (see: the only people with relevance at the time to make an international outrage) trying to acquire spheres of influence in China mostly unsuccessfully until that point, after which the flood gates basically opened.

Also British conscripts weren't necessarily willing to die for the East India company, but given how the war went they didn't really need to be.

But it wasn't about selling them a drug it was about free trade.
Duh OP.
It's okay though their getting their revenge with fentanyl

>>2912758
Fuck China sure but still, you would think that forcing a country to drug itself for greed would be less celebrated.

Maybe I'm just too naive.

>Asian have high IQ

>Germans have blind obedience to their leaders
>Germans are barbarians

1.)Europeans didn't think the earth was flat
2.)The Roman empire fell in 1453
3.)The Middle Ages is not synonymous with Dark Ages and that period saws growth in the cultural and scientific sphere
4.) Greco-Buddhist civilization existed

>>2912661
5.)America existed at the same time the Holy Roman Empire existed

>implying his fellow Nazis wouldn't have ensured his martyrdom.

How do we know he's the one who pulled the trigger?

>>2912537
1. Gotta assume the allies find him and not the soviets who would no doubt kill him on the spot or torture him before killing him.

2. If the Allies do find him, he would of gone to Nuremberg alongside the rest of the Nazi elite.

3. Yes, most likely, all the higher ups that went to Nuremberg were sentenced to death. The only people kept alive were the scientists and the people who couldn't be linked directly to any crimes.

4. Even then he would of most likely killed himself before being executed, again, like a lot of the nazi elite that went to trial.
Interesting subject tho, I have always wondered what Hitler would of said if he was questioned there, since AFAIK he never made any public comments on the holocaust while he was alive, for obvious reasons.

>>2912537
What you gotta understand is that when the allies and the soviets entered Germany they didn't left a single stone intact.

There were no favors Hitler could pull. There was nothing the allies could want from him. The German people were beaten into submission, there were no questions asked, just orders given.

In ancient times, city gates were closed at night. But there was a hole in the wall near the gates - just large enough for men to walk single file. This allowed people to enter the city at night, but not to attack it. Single file would be suicide.

But if you could get a camel to walk on its knees, you could get it to go through this hole. The hole was called the eye of the needle because it resembled a needle's eye.

Same. I think it's just a cultural thing, I'm a Catholic from the polish ghetto and the Dutch kids in the suburb are likely Lutheran scum.
I realize this is just basically a running joke in my mind. It probably has a lot more to do with culture.

>>2912479
There is nothing wrong with that. The catholic church throughout history has tried to remove superstition, preserved knowledge, is willing to adapt to the modern world and promotes the idea that what matters is deeds rather than belief.

The worst of Christianity, especially in the modern period comes from the protestants. They've revived superstition (Martin Luther advocated burning deformed babies in an oven so they'll return to the fey), created witch hunts, promote anti-intellectualism, spread the idea that deeds don't matter and what only matters is belief, and for every instance of a corrupt member of the catholic church there are a dozen televangelists, faith healers and other assorted frauds and quacks.

>>2912479
I'm an agnostic atheist, but I still happily celebrate Christmas. It's comfy as fuck.

In the current era? Middle East.

There are at 4 or 5 languages in Western Europe right now that are endangered because of forcing one language.

>>2911776
The second. The first practically guarantees internal conflict because each subculture quickly realizes that whatever subculture takes power will erase the others, and is thus heavily incentivized to view their countrymen as enemies and act accordingly. Plus, with the second traditional cultures and geographical distinctions are not entirely lost. India would be impossible to keep intact if they did not have a policy of multiple official languages and tolerated cultures.

>>2911776
One language is better for stability and bureaucracy.
Multiple languages is better for importing people who are already paid for (the immense monetary and opportunity costs associated with pregnancy, birth, raising a child, and early education) and are debt free (so you can sell them debt).

So if you want to optimize for the individual, pick one language. If you want to optimize for the state, pick multiple languages.
