This unironically effected us Tajiks the most, there's a huge political divide between the Russofied and Persified peoples in Tajikistan right now. Fuck you.

What the hell are 'regular' ships?

And yes, obviously a huge First Rate with a billion FUCKOFF cannons has a couple of advantages over smaller ships. Big surprise.

>>2870756
>regular' ships
Brigantines.It was the most common ship at the time.

>>2870772
That's a two master and wouldn't even be considered a ship back in those days.

It funny how any religion that is newish is seen as ridiculous. It almost like when people see how religions get started people can see how ridiculous they are.

I think it may be impossible.

A lot of the rebels joined up because their lives were shitty and they hated the Manchus, not because they really believed he was the son of God and little brother of Jesus. Mao Zedong considered the Taiping Rebellion to be a legitimate example of peasant uprising and class struggle.

Eh, the whole reason most people supported him was mostly "let's overthrow the dynasty, this nigga's someone that wants to do it and we can get behind".

Having crazy guy as that fella was just a coincidence.

Religious people are retarded crazies

Philip II of Macedon, who after invading southern Greece and receiving the submission of other key city-states, sent a message to Sparta:

You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city.[3]

The Spartan ephors replied with a single word:

If.[4]

Subsequently, neither Philip nor his son Alexander the Great attempted to capture the city. Philip is also recorded as approaching Sparta on another (?) occasion and asking whether he should come as friend or foe; the reply was "Neither"

>>2870610
Alexander the Great's father basically made them his puppets by establishing the League of Corinth.

That's all I know on the topic I know. I don't know if anything happened between then and Alexanders conquests.

I know a Christian Atheist, nice guy. He says he takes the Bible at it's word when it says God sacrificed himself for us, only he doesn't credit the "came back to life" part and says God killed himself so we could be free as the ultimate act of love.

have you ever met people who are so devoid of thought and spirituality as to be comparable to animals?

No I don't know your mother personally.

Jordan and Lebanon exist.

>>2870436
wars tend to not result in a "fair" or "equal" outcome. perhaps if the arabs had taken a more diplomatic route right from the beginning in 1948...

>>2870443
So? You can't just ask a guy to pack his shit and leave his home to another country just because its also arab.
Fuck the kikes, he should stay where he is.

>How did the Italian Navy fare against the British Navy or any Allied navy during WW2?
considering them being >italy pretty good

early war they could land a hit as good as the RN at day, but as the war progressed and the RN got RADAR they lost their edge and also then there's Taranto

>What was their main naval doctrine and how effective was it?
to protect the convoys supplying north Africa

>>2870406
But how effective was it? And how much did the Italian Navy hurt the British Navy?

>whole fleet in Mediterranean
>Brits control Gibraltar, Malta, and Suez

Oh fug...

nobody but the most classcucked liberal says this
its the guys who came after stalin that fucked it up, particularly Kruschev and gorbi

Also, if thet stats weren't hugely skewed, you still had a 10% chance of dying from one of stalins policies (and that doesn't count the famines.

1. 20th century Arab states are, and I can't think of another way to put it, colonial constructs. Instead, personal loyalties often go to religion or:

2. Tribalism. Look how fast the Iraqi Army bolted when ISIS had momentum. They don't really care about the 'country' they're defending. But that zeal comes through big-time when faced with sectarian matters (which is religious tribalism)

3. Arabs and modern warfare just don't mix. I read something about a someone in the US military who worked in the Middle East with Arab 'allies', and he complained about how they refuse to do the nitty gritty work of maintaining all their fancy equipment/tech. Also, something about how Syria's air force being really stupid against Israel.

>Muhammad Ali
>Arab

The Arabs weren't great fighters anyway. Even during the Abbasid Caliphate they were relying on Turks, Circassian mercenaries and Dailamites to do the fighting for them

I saw a documentary on Vlad the Impaler which was pretty great.

It's a combination of a huge ego, sensitive feelings, and the fact that most people have a us or them mentality.

>>2869966
I would also factor in that we have anonymity, at least as far as this site goes. The layer of anonymity lets people shoot their mouth off and voice their innermost thoughts and feelings. The fact that there is zero stigma attached to you afterward gives one a sense of boldness.

>>2869966
most people engauge in harmative acts masqueraiding as some greater good, i find to be the most common cause

true evil in a civilised world is that shit day to day to occurances of huge ramifications that compile year after year. i hate it. i hate these people. i accept i am/was once one myself, and am seeking to change such, and not be violent to others whilst doing so. sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me

some dumb ass chimped nigger that never passed third grade dont know that shit, at least aim, work towards it

The Germans wanted to remove Russia as a regional power, because it was rapidly industrializing, and due to Germany's appalling diplomacy, the French, Russians, and English were all hostile towards them.

The assassination was an excuse to execute military plans that had been on the drawing board for a decade leading up to the war.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the most consistent and powerful voice for peace within Austria. Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf had gone to the Austrian government many times before, asking them to declare war on Serbia. And each time, who was it who talked them out of it? Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The assassination was like the perfect storm. It gave Austria-Hungary casus belli against Serbia (although there was zero evidence of Serbian involvement) and simultaneously removed the guy who would have had the best chance of maintaining the fragile peace. Hötzendorf immediately recognized the opportunity and took full advantage of it. His biggest obstacle was dead, and he now had an excuse to declare war. Perfect.

Basically, the bismarckian alliance system combined with the age of colonialism provoked an unstable period of relationships between European powers. The murder of Franz Ferdinand was simply the fuse of the war.

We have a hegemony that encompasses the globe, and our nation is richer than any imperial power in history.

We should at least have annexed Canada and Baja. Alright, maybe not Quebec.

complete cultural and economic dominance domination isnt enough for you?
