The Right to practice slavery.

>>2900815
Yankees being the real dividers

Slavery was the decisive issue it's pretty stupid to suggest otherwise. States rights was an issue, but the right in question was to practice slavery

Seapower because colonies are game breakers
Rimland because I like rimjobs

>>2900159

By colonies you mean specifically foreign territories separated by and accessible by sea?

Why are they game breakers?
Access to a larger variety of resources due to more efficient, naval access to a wider range of climate zones?

Rimland = Prosperity
Heartland = Security and long term stability

If you're a sea power all it takes is for someone else to create a more powerful navy than you and you could lose everything.

>It appears that Vikings are going to be showing up on the coast of the village that I'm in pretty soon.

No they won't, the Vikings didn't show up until long after the Dark Ages ended in Britain.

>>2900113
Nope, the dark ages ended in the 1000's I gather, the Vikings first attacked in the 700's and 800's.

Khmer sample with blue eyes = size 20 and French lactase persistence allele frequency is by no means fixed. It's very much possible that they got the baquette.

blue eyes help in low light conditions, like a dense forest and (possibly) jungles. maybe that's why the khmer developed them independently of N. Europeans, whom in prehistoric times were living in extremely dense forests?

>Khmer sample with blue eyes = size 20 and French lactase persistence allele frequency is by no means fixed.

It's high enough that if there were significant intermarriage, it would be non-zero.

The only situation I can think of that would involve the french is if some french guy with blue eyes and homozygous lactose intolerance knocked up a woman, and that woman's son had a shitton of babbies.

Or, there's some sort of weird local adaptation we don't know about, like the blondeness in the Pacific and the Hmong, or the whiteness of the Kalash. If it's the latter that's pretty big.

Depends entirely on what the principles in question are.

admirable, even if they are bad principles
too many people fold, thats why corruption exists
more people should stick to their guns

My favorite alt-history is Italy having its rightful Corsica.

Modern Byzantium, here's my fanciful thinking:
>the fourth crusade never results in the sack of Constantinople
>the angeloi dynasty bring to the throne an able and charismatic leader that turns around the decadence of the byzantine empire through extensive reforms
>through a series of wars, take back the coast of anatolia, chios, and hold onto cypress
>instead of expanding, there is a focus on consolidation and economic progress
>negotiate defensive alliances with western after significant and difficult reconciliations in the face of the Islamic threat to ease pressure off the frontiers
>focus on integrating cultures into the Rhomaion fold to ease local instability
>establish the pax byzantion, a long period of peace and prosperity

A modern Holy Roman Empire, or modern Byzantium.
The ottomans were defeated and pushed back at the siege of Constantinople

Translate this into Latin:

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming

Been going over my pronoun tables today. Really wanna nail them before I move on.

There's so damn many of them...

Thank you OP. This is what I'm really looking for.

What the fuck do you think you're doing on a history board? The aristocracy got what was coming, bootlicking cuck.

It started with a debt crisis that the monarchy had been trying to walk around since about 1770, but to no avail. Because they needed to raise new taxes, the had to call the Estates general, which was the only body that could legally create new taxes. The estates general was divided into three estates: the first was the clergy, the second was all the nobility, and the third was just everyone else. The third was further divided between the bourgeoisie, the middle class doctors and lawyers who had wealth but no say in government, and the lower classes, who had neither wealth nor a say in government. Because being a delegate to the estates general offered no salary, basically everyone elected from the third estate was bourgeois.

The first problem they ran into was the structure of the estates general: it hadn't been called for 175 years, so there were arguments about how to structure it. Traditionally each estate sent about 300 delegates and the voting was done by estate (so there would be a total of three votes cast). However, as a result of all the enlightenment ideology pumped out in France led the third estate want to double the number of delegates it sent and to vote by head, not by estate. When they finally met in 1789, there were double the amount of third estate delegates but the voting method was unclear. The first few weeks were fraught with tension so the king called a special session to resolve the issue; however, whether by design or accident, the door was locked to the session when the third estate delegates got there. They decided to go over to a nearby tennis court and swear an oath that they were the true representatives of the French nation and that sovereignty lay with them, not with the King. They declared themselves the National Assembly and decided to draft a constitution for a constitutional monarchy.

how does napoleon fit in there? was he truly a french liberal or just a madman who took power? and what did he want to accomplish?

>What where all the parties involved?
>nobles
mostly monarchy side of course but with some defectors like it is in all conflicts
>bourgeoisie and urban population
both small medium big bourgeoisie, jews, middle classes, most parisians, etc
mostly revolutionary side
>rural population
a lot of counter-revolutionaries especially in regions like vendée
they got fucked
>clergy
divided but a lot on the side of aristocracy
they got fucked too

>How exactly does napoleon factor into this?
charismatic strongman who brought peace order and unity in that very unstable uncertain period

liberal ? well officially his ideas could be quite vague and contradictory
if you ask me that was done on purpose, much like trump, because being vague and contradictory is actually a very successful political strategy if you are confident about it

officiously his ideas are unclear and what i have read is pretty contradictory

>Did the revolution fail?
fuck no it was a brilliant success
now are the effects of it positive ? that's another topic entirely but the leaders of the revolution did do what they wanted to do

>What influence does it have today?
a lot, france is still run on those ideas and the new president is entirely in line with that, as we have seen with the flagrant symbolism of the investiture

That's a pretty shit way of looking at it. I mean, it works if you just thrown them out, but ranking them like that doesn't mean anything.

Also we are culturally closer to Romans than Romans were to Ancient Egyptians.
What is the surprise?

>>2894296
Yeah but the Romans had contact with all the stages of Egyptian history from Ancient Egyptian culture being Hellenized to its Christianization and later Islamization.

The government lost the ability to change with the changing economics. Same thing happened around late 19th century.

Cold war legacy and being the sole superpower after 1991 leading to imperial overstretch. Combined with an overreaction to 9/11.
