Indian wars and their impact on the US Army

I am interested in information dating to before the deluge as in the high tech aspect of it leading to directly after the the deluge as to where did the survivors go? I am also interested in type o negative blood lineage.

The Great Game. Everything about it is fucking amazing. Spies and diplomats on the roof of the world, looking out upon barren Central Asian wastelands. Strategists at home devising the best and most efficient way to either conquer or defend India. Tense moments that could have easily collapsed to a war between Britain and Russia had it not been for a few key actors. Pundits being trained by the British to go in places too dangerous for any European to step foot in. All of it is interesting, and there are only a few dull moments in it. When the fighting and tensions were seemingly done in one area, the game would simply move to a new one.

Not to mention that many of the events in the Great Game could be used for today's leaders. 2 times(One Russian and One British) embassies were raided by angry locals in Afghanistan due to foreign meddling. That kind of news strikes me as something that I could have easily read within the past 20 years and yet it happened more than 150 years ago.

The Great Game by Peter Hopkirk is the eminent book on the subject and if you had to choose only one I'd tell you to read it. I would also suggest Tournament of Shadows by Karl Meyer and Sharon Brysac. It goes over many of the same things, as the Great Game though it also goes a bit more into the future. I think Hopkirk's book is a bit better due to how it deals with the origins and motives behind the Game. His writing style is also more interesting (though he can be a bit biased towards the British sometimes).

Both of those ethnic groups interest me, as well. They seemed to be quite out of place, far-flung from their original homelands, or otherwise displaced from the main branches of the Goths heading south and west, or even those that remained in Scandinavia or Poland. The Keifeng Jews today seem to be mostly indistinguishable from the mainstream Han Chinese ethnicity, interestingly, not unlike how Ethiopian Jews acquired traits of the regional natives as well, through intermarriage. I am unable to recommend any books, at the moment, as I am not aware of texts about the matter.

>Value of goods and services over time (econometrics? I can't seem to find much data on this, but it seems rather interesting to me.)
This stuff is interesting. Check it Diocletian's edict on prices. Includes stuff like the cost of grain transportation (it doubled every certain amount of miles over land).

>Currency and centralized banking
Sorry, don't have many good sources here sadly.

>Paleolithic to Pre-Roman Cultural migrations (Europe)
Barry Cunliffe's Europe between the Oceans covers 9000bc-1000ad. Broad but covers the ancient stuff decently.

Also Horses, Wheels, and the Language covers Indo-Europeans well.

The political and cultural history of the central asian republics from the end of the soviet union to (roughly) the present. It's interesting reading about how the stans attempted or are currently attempting to adapt to the collapse of the USSR and propping themselves up on their own two feet.

A typically good entry:

1412-13. Alice de Bryene Acton regularly purchased three and half pipes of red wine
and two hogsheads of white from Ipswich. ‘A pipe at 105 imperial gallons contained
double the quantity of a hogshead. … Richard Mody once claimed 18d. in expenses for
going with a cart and seven horses to Colchester to collect a pipe of red wine.’ When
wine was purchased from Ipswich the delivery cost was 3s. ‘The distance from her
home at Acton to Ipswich was about 32 miles, and from Acton to Colchester about 32
miles, so these charges work out at roughly 0.3d and 2.7d per tun mile respectively,
suggesting that the carriage from Ipswich must have been largely by water, probably
along the coast to the Stour estuary and then via the Stour to Sudbury, only 3 or 4 miles
from Acton.’

Maybe not niche, but the daily lives of Nordic peoples in the early Medieval Period. Stuff like the Saga Age of Iceland.

It all just seems so delightfully interesting, like a real life fantasy adventure novel. There's all these stories of families feuding and squabbling at home, people going on adventures abroad. There's romance, there's drama, and there's battles: campaigns in war, skirmishes and duels. There's plenty of protagonists and antagonists that rely on mixtures of cunning, strength, and support from friends or family. In a lot of ways, it's like the popular conception of the American 'Wild West'.

I also just find Pre-Christian Norse society terribly interesting as well. I'm going to try looking more into Norse influences along the river routes to Constantinople and the Mediterranean.

>What time period?
It mainly stems from an interest in historic trade practices and historic financial politics, so time period doesn't matter as much to me . For the Italian republics it obviously varies depending on lifespan, but I'm not entirely familiar with them yet so I am not entirely sure. Same goes for the Hanseatic League, although I understand it isn't exactly a Merchant republic. Other than those, I'm not familiar with any other nations or groups of cities that quite have the same trade based practices. That said, I'm sure that thalassocracies would probably all rely heavily on maritime trade for income so I'll have to look into it.

Cliometrics and Cliodynamics are exactly what I was looking for, I just didn't know the names.

Certainly some of those, but more often it's that national boundaries cut right across their territory. The Apache, for example, used to live in the far northern regions of New Spain. It didn't much effect them. Spanish control wasn't very strong that far north. Suddenly a revolution happened, and they found themselves in Mexico. Again, who gives a shit? Far from the Mexican population centers, they were little effected. Suddenly Mexican-American war happens and a national border cuts right through their homeland. They tried their very hardest to completely disregard that border, crossing it whenever they felt like, and getting in fights with US cavalry and Federales both. As late as WWI, Apaches were moving freely between the two countries in what they'd always thought of as their land.

Same shit with the Mohawks straddling the US and Canada. Interesting side note, Mohawks are a quirky example of how tribes exist in the modern era. For some reason beyond my knowledge, they really took to iron and steel work. In the Northeast, there are numerous Mohawks on just about every major construction site. One in ten ironworkers that built One World Trade Center were Mohawk.

Nigga its basically turkish cuisine without tomatoes and stuff maybe but I'm sure they also got that through trade.

So now that I got home from work, I just realized I do have some stuff on currency. For currency stuff, specifically antiquity, books on people like the Phoenicians will inevitably link you to currency information. I couldn't remember the book, but it's The Phoenician and the West by Maria Aubet that lists certain exchange rates of currencies in the middle East from about 1000bc-600bc.

Pretty much
1 gold shekel
4 silver shekels
200 copper shekels
227 tin shekels

Then
1 talent
50 Minas
3000 shekels

They pretty much made ingots, cups, etc from metal then made those have a standard weight, so you'd trade in silver cups that were pretty universal (Assyrians horded cups like crazy autists).

This system also applied to Europe later on in some way after but the rates most likely changed, since even in the time frame I mentioned the Phoenicians managed to devalue silver for the Assyria pretty seriously to the point it was worth the same as copper.

>>3070330
Is it bad that i've seen Shekels being used in a meme-ish way so often that I'd forgotten it is an actual currency?

>>3070343
Whenever I read this shit it makes me stop right in my tracks. Images of clasped hands, etc start filling my head. It's a tragedy

Also, Central Asia in general, particularly pre-Islamic Central Asia. Other than that, it's mostly relatively "mainstream" interests, for example the larger 19th century, from 1789 to 1918, or Roman history, from the foundation of the city to 1453.

I'm really interested in land usage and ownership in the early and high middle ages of Europe. Not just generally, but I mean specifics. The size of fiefs and estates and what portions of those individual estates were given over to farming, living spaces, or just kept as woodland. I find the planning and structure of medieval manor estates fascinating and how these essentially self-contained agricultural units were planned and executed and how they participated in the larger agrarian economy of the era.

I'm more of a post-Tarquin to Augustus man, myself. What was it about Rome and the Roman culture that led to them not only beating out everyone in Italy, but eventually dominating western and Mediterranean Europe for centuries? It starts at duty and fidelity to state and gods but I think it ultimately devolves to the cult of personality, in which the seeds of ruin are sown while also allowing for its greatest victories - after all, had Caesar not been driven to cultivate power with this cult of personality, would he have effectively conquered Gaul?

Mao was always a womanizer but he started sleeping with huge amounts of women as his health deteriorated and he became infertile. He believed that the women's yin could replenish his yang. Li Zhisui, Mao’s doctor disagreed but he could never be too upfront about his opinion. Li had to listen to Mao boasting about his sexual practices and prowess; he also treated Mao of various venereal diseases.

Most of Mao's sexual partners were peasant girls but some of them were also his nurses. Nearly all the peasants ended up with STDs but they viewed the diseases as a badge of honor given to them by the Chairman. Mao had a specially made "sex bed" created (one side raised 10 centimeters higher than the other) and would have women read erotic literature to him before he got down to business. He was having sex almost every day.

Mao hired many pretty young girls as part of his dancing troupe. He would take them ballroom dancing (even though he had technically made it a bourgeois crime). After dancing, Mao would pick a girl to have sex with. This happened so much, he ordered his vice chairman to put another "sex bed" in the room next to the ballroom so he wouldn't have to walk so far for "privacy". Sometimes he would have the girls strip naked and perform synchronized swimming in his own private pool.

As Mao got older, the ages of the women he had sex with also got younger. One of the girls in the dancing troupe for the Chinese communists was a girl named Chen Luwen. Chen was 14 years old when she started to have sexual relations with the 68 year old Mao. Chen's parents were horrified and her father wanted to pen an angry letter but gave up in the end because this was the Cultural Revolution and badmouthing Mao would mean certain death.

>>3076577
>You mean weren't able to make a stable enough society to resist Invaders or deal with disease.

Actually, it was precisely because their society was stable that they got fucked over: The fact they had complex, urbanized cities meant the diseases actually spread as an epidemic.

There was litterally nothing that could have prevented what happened unless the americas were never isolated to begin with.

>>3076612
The byzantine contributed plenty, and helped shape the Western world.

Thus is why it's important to study. To understand how it shape events to help get where we are now.

>>3076642

I don't think they were stable.

Bullshit. We study the past because of academic curiosity. As historians, identifying and countering the biases of the present is necessary to conduct honest and reliable research.

Chinampas are still used in what's left of the lake system in mexico city, but only one of the lakes is left and it's a fraction of the size it used to be and is highly polluted, as when the spanish took over and razed Tenochtitlan, they destroyed most of the aquaducts, dykes, leveies, and causeways that kept clean water in and brackish water out and prevented the city from flooding over; so New Spain/Mexico city kept flooding and the water became shitty; so they drained the lakes.

Of course, that resulted in dought problems, and for a long time mexico city's water supply was still not clean enough to drink, and it still suffers from flooding occasionally and soil liquidfication issues as a result. This is also why axolotl salamanders (the ones that never metaphorphize into adults) are extinct in the wild, as those lakes were their only habitat.

I don't know why, but how American sports/leagues survive and expand has always fascinated me. Seeing how early teams and leagues struggled for relevancy, seeing teams go defunct or get relocated unfairly. How rules changed, how uniform colors were altered, how stadiums were built.

I'm currently reading Ball Four, which is a great player perspective on the brief history of the Seattle Pilots. An MLB team that only existed for one season, in 1969, until Bud Selig bought and relocated it to Milwaukee to become the Brewers. After that, I want to read more into the early years of American soccer. Contrary to what many people think, in the early 1900's, Soccer was very popular in the United States, mainly in the Midwest and north east, and was gaining a steady following like it was in the rest of the world. But, among other factors, when the Great Depression hit, it bankrupted many of the home grown teams and leagues, destroying any semblance of American soccer culture and development for the next 50 years.

I have most of these books, but I can't find online pdf or ebook versions of them. I can take pictures of parts or the books or you can just ask me directly though. Also the thing with fashion in precolumbian americas is it's always best to look at the primary sources that is precolumbian art. But this also requires a lot of studying to make out what's what, which is why I recommend studying the cultures.

For prostitution in Mesoamerica I recommend:

Book 10 of the Florentine Codex (again I have but not an online version)

I already have all of the codices downloaded except for a few. I have been trying to relocate a deviantart artist who did a lot of historically accurate artwork on both maya and nahua hairstyles, which I lost track of a while ago, do you know who i'm talking about?

Also, one more thing: I recall being told this image is mislabelled, and the priest shown here is actuall mixtec or something, not mexica/aztec/tenocha, is that accurate? If so, can you explain why?

That priest to me looks Mexica. They did not dress the same way (most typically had long hair sometimes unkept). He has black paint, which is typical of priests and warriors, he bears a Tezcatlipoca mask of obsidian and turquoise based on a real Aztec one in the British Museum, mutilated ear from autosacrificing and bloodshot eyes from some kind of drug use. I would have to see where Angus McBride based the image from, I don't have the Osprey book on me atm, but usually the plate references are mentioned.

2014 was a year of great change, /pol/ overtook /b/ as the flagship, GG happened, /pol/harbor happened, the word "cuck" was invented, Pepe was no longer just a reaction image but a character and The Fappening happened. It was concluded with a huge event, Moot leaving.

The changing of the territorial power in Italy in the 1st century BC from a Republic to a sort of hereditary monarchy is really interesting.
Also the short-lived conquests and subsequent wars of the Germans in the 1930's and 40's. Really hipster subjects that nobody but me seems to really take any interest in.

So basically the beginning of the crisis of the Third Century?

Don't forget that guy who posted pictures of his murder victim on 4chan. I honestly think that was the last stray for moot.

Cuck wasn't invented then. "Cuckspammer" and "cuck" was used on /pol/ as early as 2012 to describe the fucks who'd spam interracial/cuckold porn on the board. Wasn't in mass use yet though.

Cuck in the current usage actually started on /tv/ in 2015 as a Louis CK meme

Fortuitously, the Trump movement began only a few months after this meme arose
