Why didn't Napoleon simply blockade Russia along with Britain?

>>2620857
Is egoism just figuring out why you do what you do and seeing if it makes sense.

Why do people say Charlemagne split up his empire

Do you people really think events can be split into neet packages like the middle ages

Was there any way a viable kingdom could arise between France and Germany.

>Is egoism just figuring out why you do what you do and seeing if it makes sense.
A simplified but not incorrect summary

>Why do people say Charlemagne split up his empire
Prior to the death of Charlemagne, the Empire was divided among various members of the Carolingian dynasty. These included King Charles the Younger, son of Charlemagne, who received Neustria; King Louis the Pious, who received Aquitaine; and King Pepin, who received Italy. Pepin died with an illegitimate son, Bernard, in 810, and Charles died without heirs in 811. Although Bernard succeeded Pepin as King of Italy, Louis was made co-Emperor in 813, and the entire Empire passed to him with Charlemagne's death in the winter of 814.[4]

A couple of generations later it properly collapsed, but that was inevitable without Charlemange's prestige holding it together

>Do you people really think events can be split into neet packages like the middle ages
If you're giving a very basic summary of events, yes.

>Was there any way a viable kingdom could arise between France and Germany.
No, the Netherlands are fictional

>>2620864
With what navy?
Also, Russia didn't need to import food.

>>2620857
how a small kingdom as asturias survive the the umayyads

>>2620901
Apparently the Pope like them more than he liked Muslims

>>2620864
Napoleon specifically attacked Russia for one and only one reason - it stopped blockading Britain.
So why would you break your own blockade of Britain to blockade the guy who you are only at war with because he broke his blockade of Britain?

>>2620857
>make Questions That Dont Deserve Their Own Thread

Where do Bulgarians come from? Where did the Thracians go?

>>2620901
Barren terrain, lasting military occupation not possible, threat of Frankish invasion

>>2620975
Were the bavarians related to the avars.
Did the Mughals call themselves mongols

>>2620982
>Were the bavarians related to the avars.
In the sense that their name probably comes from the avars, yes.
I think Bavaria used to be called "the avar march", as in the frontier against the avars.
They are different peoples though, as far as real life allows for it.

>Did the Mughals call themselves mongols
Yes. At first the persians called them that, and later they adopted it for more legitimacy.
Babur, who started the Mughal dynasty, called himself that.

kek

>>2620857
If Budapest is named for Attila's brother is Hungary named for the huns?

>>2621236
Although they wewuz, the name in Hungarian is Magyarország, meaning they accept their magyar descent

>>2621236
Hungary is like Byzantium, a later made up name that the people didn't use.
It was called Hungaria in the middle ages at some point, but the hungarians themselves did, and still do, call themselves Magyars, since they are magyars and not huns.
Hungaria is land of the Huns from latin, and was called that by the romans for obvious reasons, and after the dark ages it was rediscovered and stuck.
Persians also never called themselves that either, they always called themselves aryans (from there Iran).

Buda was some king that ruled there, and had a city named after him, thats part of modern Budapest, from there the name.

>>2621256
Thanks guys. I figured it was just a coincidence but didn't know where to look to follow up

>>2621280
Its not a coincidence, its just a mistake repeated by enough people over enough centuries.
The name Hungary does come from the huns, but thats because nobody asked the hungarians who they are or where they come from.

Its more complicated with >>2620975 Bulgaria.

>>2621285
Do you know any good books on the magyars? Or history of the region in general

>>2621294
Good as in entertaining, or good as in informative? The two tend not to match a lot.

I literally just googled about the question like a month ago and read this, and I liked it.
http://nemzeti.net/contents/library/The_Magyars_2011_P.pdf
It is a lot of citations and sources though, not a good dramatization and a compelling narrative like many more popular american and british history books of the last decade.

Our duke Philip the Good wanted to recreate Middle France (or Lotharingia,), but on the coronation day the Enperor escaped.

What would life be like for an orthodox, nestorian or coptic christian in catholic europe?

>>2621623
*medieval catholic europe.

>>2621623
99% of people don't know almost anything about the religion they worship, so they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
And the priests would have no reason to show the difference.

So unless you are some Nicean coming into Frankia and buying property and making trouble for the church, nobody would know or care.
Perhaps some casual iconoclasm if you get too public, but nothing out of the ordinary situation of a majority persecuting a minority.

At any rate, an eastern christian would live more comfortably in medieval catholic Europe than a jew did, or an atheist.

What does "States of the Church" mean? Papal States? Why is Venice part of it?

>>2621687
States of the Church on that map looks to be just the Roman Empire, as it was at the time.
As in, the Western Roman Empire, the actual one, and whats left of it.

What process if there was any standard process, was used to become a catholic priest in the late 5th century in what's now France?

Did Jewish nepotism and tribalism really contributed that much for their success?

>>2621899
Yes, but they were created by others oppressing them and forcing such qualities to develop. So whitey is Dr. Frankenstein.

>>2621906
Whitey created device for his own demise.

>>2621936
The ancients before christianity would allow divorce. You needed to go to your local judge/politician and give your reason, and they'd judge your case individually and decide if you are reasonable in wanting divorce.

At any rate its not a new development, divorce is an older institution than christianity or the idea of "the west".

>>2621687
In Christian theology, the Christian Church is traditionally divided into:
- the Church Militant (Latin: Ecclesia militans), which consists of Christians on earth who struggle as soldiers of Christ against sin, the devil, and "the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places";
- the Church Penitent (Latin: Ecclesia poenitens), also called the Church Suffering (Latin: Ecclesia dolens) or the Church Expectant (Latin: Ecclesia expectans), which in the theology of certain churches, especially that of the Catholic Church, consists of those Christians presently in Purgatory;
- the Church Triumphant (Latin: Ecclesia triumphans), which consists of those who have the beatific vision and are in Heaven.
These divisions are known as the three states of the Church, especially within Catholic ecclesiology.

If you're talking about the temporal domains of the church, that's the Papal States. Venice was never at any point part of it.

>Frankish migrating from Germany
Nope

They migrated from Pannonia, to the Rhine, then to Thuringia, then to Cambrais and the Somme, then settled around Paris-Orléans-Reims-Soissons.

how did spain decline from global superpower to backwoods afterthought

>>2622878
Inflation.

>>2622878
>>2622899
To expand on his statement, Spain pulled so much precious metal out of the Americas that their currency imploded. Funnily enough, they took the Ottomans down with them.

What did native Americans call their own continent?

>>2623536
It was always called the americas, as by god's choosing
