Not entering ww1 would have delayed it by a bit but overall not really, it was pretty much dead by the time it entered ww1 and destined to be picked apart by European powers like what was happening in 1890's (giving Cyprus and Yemen to Britain) and 1910's (losing Libya)

Basically, anything. What I think will happen between countries, historical foreign policy, whatever you can think of.

Your step sister is a fucking dumbass then. Muhammad didn't even live till like 550 years after Jesus died. Muslims and Jews always have and still today hate each other.

What can you tell me about Thracians, /his/? In Greek sources they're basically depicted as orcs with no redeeming qualities

Both Greek and Roman accounts unanimously agree that Thracians in particular were very barbaric. If you want a neutral account of an Ancient writer that actually went to Thrace, their settlements, and their leaders, go read the last few books of Xenophon's Anabasis. Xenophon was hired along with the Ten-Thousand (actually was like 8,000 by the time he reached Europe IRC) mercenaries under his command by a Thracian prince to help him secure his claim to rule from his Uncle or some relative whatever. In it, he describes his time and discussion with said prince (who is portrayed moderately civilized, with being able to comprehend and listen to Greek as its spoken, and is able to talk somewhat in it) and his stay and battles against neutral or hostile villages to the prince. But the overall experience documented by Xenophon in this camps and small rural villages just shows a bland way of life. They are neither heavily barbaric by Greek standards nor 'civilized' as in living in a urban polis and being sophisticated in it.

Why did no one kill Stalin? Everyone must have hated him but still he's just one man. Why didn't someone just walked up to him and shot him?

What does /his/ think of Jerusalem Syndrome?
Jerusalem syndrome is a group of mental phenomena involving the presence of either religiously themed obsessive ideas, delusions or other psychosis-like experiences that are triggered by a visit to the city of Jerusalem. It is not endemic to one single religion or denomination but has affected Jews, Christians and Muslims of many different backgrounds.
The best known, although not the most prevalent, manifestation of Jerusalem syndrome is the phenomenon whereby a person who seems previously balanced and devoid of any signs of psychopathology becomes psychotic after arriving in Jerusalem. The psychosis is characterised by an intense religious theme and typically resolves to full recovery after a few weeks or after being removed from the area.

It's an example of extreme culture shock. Apparently Japanese tourists in Europe suffer from "Paris Syndrome", because the view of Paris in Japan is so wildly different from the horrible, horrible reality.

>>2870588
It is even thought that prophets suffered from it, so I doubt it.

You doubt what? That Japanese people experience the same exact phenomena in Paris? google is your friend.
