Board: /his/
"/his/ - History & Humanities" is 4chan's board for discussing and debating history.
This board is dedicated to the discussion of history and the other humanities such as philosophy, religion, law, classical artwork, archeology, anthropology, ancient languages, etc. Please use /lit/ for discussions of literature. Threads should be about specific topics, and the creation of "general" threads is discouraged.
For the purpose of determining what is history, please do not start threads about events taking place less than 25 years ago. Historical discussions should be focused on past events, and not their contemporary consequences. Discussion of modern politics, current events, popular culture, or other non-historical topics should be posted elsewhere. General discussions about international culture should go on /int/.
/his/ is not /pol/, and Global Rule #3 is in effect. Do not try to treat this board as /pol/ with dates. Blatant racism and trolling will not be tolerated, and a high level of discourse is expected. History can be examined from many different conflicting viewpoints; please treat other posters with respect and address the content of their post instead of attacking their character.
When discussing history, please reference credible source material, and provide as much supporting information as possible in your posts. The old thread appears to be bumplocked: >>17638943
Also, tripcodes have changed. This is okay as I will resume posting pages nobody else has shortly, so you will know who it is.
I couldn't just leave the previous thread unfinished. It didn't sit right with me. I hope you are all doing well, even the "critics" and trolls.
I noticed that posting threads like this helps me review, correct, and improve rough drafts, so during the last thread I made substantial revisions. Therefore I will start over from page 1. Why is Christian Lore so boring compared to Jewish/Islamic lore?

All the cars on the street seem very old, and the people around you give you weird, unfriendly looks. Walking by an alleyway, you see a discarded newspaper with German text and a date printed on it: August 21, 1942.

Marx was basically a Redditor. Why weren’t Irish and Italian people considered white in the mid 19th to early 20th centuries in America did this have to do with them being catholic? Is race-mixing really a sin according to the bible? God, I just want to be happy. The idea that some races are evil/inferior to others makes me sad. Like, it might be true, but I don’t want it to be true. Are Jews really all evil? But I have some Jewish friends that I really like. Are black people all stupid? I have black friends I would consider to be my equals. Feelsbadman. >Germany started WW2 in 1939 because they might have started it in 1944.
It makes no sense bros ?
Unless.... America caused WW2 (by bullying Britain into giving guarantees to Poland), Poland provoked it (by threatening Danzig on August 5 and the Polish Note to Germany on August 10), and Britain started it (by rejecting the French-Italian peace conference and unilaterally declaring war on Germany on September 3).
And there's literally nothing you can say that disproves the sequence of events. 
Did Nordicists defile archaeological sites to replace some of the remains with Scandinavian ones?
One obvious example is from Bronze Age Cyprus, from the Yediay et al. paper in December of last year. There is a skull from an I1 Nordic male that's a complete outlier.
>Tomb 69 consisted of a single chamber and looked disturbed at the moment of the excavation40. Cranium 2 (CGG_2_022535/Rise 1678) was found immediately to the right of the entrance together with finds 1-1040. The skull was probably not in situ. According to Hjortsjö73 the skull belonged to a male of approximately 30 years. Fischer74 defined the find as belonging to a male adult of c. 18-20 years. Dunn-Vaturi questions both results, because the grave seems to have contained just one individual, who was furnished with grave goods including a spindle whorl and a pin, typical for female burials.
>As a curiosity, it is interesting to mention that according to Hjortsjö’s craniometrics studies73 (such studies were still carried out at the beginning of last century) cranium II was considered a sort of outlier, compared to the other skulls from the region.
There was also an expedition of Swedish anthropologists to the site in the 1930s. So a disturbed male skull not in situ in a woman's grave, genetically Nordic, site was excavated by Swedes, strontium isotopes shows it came from Sweden. There is no explanation other than a Swedish fraud sloppily took a skull from Sweden with him and put it there to make the ancient Med seem more "Nordic".
Anthropologists should stop trying to find innocent or fantastical hypotheses for these outlier samples and keep in mind that there was historically a massive attempt by Northern Europeans to try and erase and take credit for Southern European antiquity in the early 20th century, and that archaeology as a field has historically massively been plagued by fraud and fakes. These outlier samples need to all be carbon dated and strontium analyzed to find their actual origin. Why the long history of the Papacy isnt discussed more?
Lets have a thread about it: talk about some specific Pope you find interesting
My personal pick is Pope Innocent III: probably the best all around Pope in history
>Renowed scholar
>Very pious
>Energic and charismatic ruler
>(Most Popes were either One or two at the best of the formers)
>Managed to bend into vassallages all the Kings of Europe
>Created the Dominican and Franciscan orders
>BTFOed the cathars
>Groomed to greatness the future Frederik II
>Promoted the spanish Kingdoms Alliance that defeated the muslims in the Reconquista-decisive Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa (1212)
>Excommunicated the Crusade niggers that destroyed Costantinopoli
>Was about to become the first battle-Pope to personally lead a Crusade before his sudden death Finally, we can commence an intelligent discussion.
Are the authors right? G25 says no. Is G25 right? Or were Punic peoples mostly Greeks? How do GPO deniers explain the ethnic cleansing in Zamosc and the Zamosc uprising? Is the "un" prefix primarily Jewish at the core? Their penises occupy an unnatural state, but for them it's the default. So they invented a sort of negative character, they frame things almost via a reification of what is not. For example "uncircumcised". "Uncommon". "Uncharacteristic".
It's become such a common linguistic and logical faculty in English that it is largely unnoticed, but I think perhaps it it is also unnatural, to reify that which is not as though it therefore were. 
It's the most overrated polity of the early modern era due to a combination of Polish nationalist cope writers in the 20th century + looking big on a map (yet with a smaller population than Spain).
>dirt fucking poor, had less than half of Western European GDP per capita throughout the 16th and 17th centuries at a time where small differences mattered a lot
>backwards as hell, had Early Medieval literacy levels well into the 18th century and no notable production of printed books at any point in its history
>less fucking unified than the Holy Roman Empire, the noble diet could and did completely paralyze any state power, the king was basically powerless most of the time, seriously marking it as just one color block on the map is misleading
>no major involvement in European economic affairs besides relatively minor grain imports
Venice or Portugal alone were arguably more powerful than all of Poland-Lithuania. The Venetian Doge was without a doubt far more powerful than the Polish king. The size of their military campaigns reflected this. The Polish king would cut off his dick to be allowed to consistently command 40,000 well-equipped professional troops like Venice consistently did in the 16th-17th centuries, not even counting the fleet.

>The Sword of Islam (Arabic: سيف الإسلام, romanized: Sayf al-Islām; Italian: Spada dell'Islam) was a ceremonial weapon given in 1937 to Benito Mussolini, who was pronounced as the Protector of Islam
>On 18 March 1937, in the outskirts of Tripoli, Mussolini received the Sword of Islam from Iusuf Kerisc, a leading Berber supporter of the Italian occupation against the Libyan resistance, during a lavish ceremony.[5][6][7] After entering Tripoli among salutes of cannons and at the head of a rank of 2,600 cavalrymen, Mussolini reaffirmed his closeness to the Muslim population, guaranteeing "peace, justice, wellness and respect for the laws of the Prophet".
>In spite of the approval from the media of the regime, the ceremony provoked hilarity among the Italian people because of its absurd and paradoxical connotations.[8][9]
>One of the photographs of the event, depicting Mussolini on the saddle of a horse held by the halter by a groom, in his official version was retouched and published deleting the groom, in order to make it appear that Mussolini was able to ride his own mount without anyone's help.[10]
>The sword, decorated in arabesque, equipped with a double-edged straight blade and with a hilt and solid gold friezes, had been achieved from the art firm Picchiani e Barlacchi di Firenze on the order of Mussolini himself.[citation needed] After 1937, it was no longer used and was guarded in a small glass reliquary at Rocca delle Caminate, summer residence of Mussolini. There were no more signs of the precious object after 25 July 1943, when Rocca delle Caminate was ravaged and plundered by the Italian resistance.[13]
What do you think happened to it? The true evil behind all the evil shit happening in Nazi Germany. Legally speaking, is this a good idea?

I think it might be, if I think about it. 
The King could for his part smile at Mably and the other proto-communists as fanciful dreamers and continue hopping from bed to bed. The French court continued its enormous and extravagent spending; the Prince de Soubise spent 200,000 livres to entertain the King for one day and every journey of His Majesty from Versailles to one of his country seats cost 100,000 livres. A total of 10,000 servants supplied the royal family and court with all its needs. Louis himself had 3,000 horses, 217 carriages, 150 pages, and 30 doctors. The royal household in 1751 alone spent 68 million livres, a quarter of the government's annual revenue. The people protested mostly anonymously; scores of pamphlets appeared mocking the King.
What led to Louis XV's transformation into a hated ruler? He was not at all the monster depicted by Jacobin propaganda; good-looking, physically powerful, and able to hunt all day and love all night. His teachers had ruined him; Villeroi had drilled into his head that he had a divine right to rule and the entire nation and people of France were his personal property.
Intimidated by the long shadow of his grandfather, Louis feared he could not live up to him and preferred to let his ministers handle major decisions. He was quite well-read and informed on current events; he was a solid and ruthless judge of the character of those around him. He was an able and witty conversationalist who could keep up with the best minds at the court. But he accepted without question the most ridiculous Catholic dogmas Fleury had taught him; as he fornicated he was often beset with fears of eternal damnation for his sins, but hoped he would receive absolution on his deathbed. He ended persecution of Protestants and it seems the philosophes enjoyed a relatively high degree of freedom during his reign. Why do you need a figurehead on Earth with a direct telephone line to God? Wasn't that one of the de-facto roles of Christ? Can't you just pray or talk to God? >4chan was down for patriots day

(pic rel) Jesus said Satan was "a murderer from the beginning". Who exactly did Satan murder? God the father on the other hand actually did kill billions of people in a global flood, many of whom were sinless babies or children who had not reached the age of accountability for sin What are the implications of "God" being afraid of his own creation challenging his power? Well /his/? Would they?
This is the horseshit /his/toryslop I was forced to consume while 4chinz was dead btw. If God is real then why doesn't he stop me from using swear words? Since the site was down, happy late Easter /his/. Christ is risen. >I am so lonely. All the other Viltrumites are scared of me. No one talks to me. No one wants to be my friend, they think I am unstable. They send me from planet to planet committing atrocities in their name. And as I get better at it, they fear me more and more… I am a victim of my own success. Conquest… I don’t even get a real name, only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and no one sees it. Some days I feel so alone I could cry but I don’t, I never do, because what would be the point? Not a single person in the entire universe would care. … Take it to your grave. Repent ye, for it's full, yet more stream in DAILY. Only a ten thousandth will be spared the eternal flames and torment that is Hell, the spheres that latch onto faces and burrow in, the while that strip entire skins with one lash, the festering rivers of blood and shit... You will suffer from them forever, and be raped by demons forever, and be locked in a burning tomb filled with glass and barbed wire forever, unless you accept Christ, destroy all heretics and sinners (Jesus came with the SWORD not the olives). This world needs cleansing, it needs armageddon. It needs to be destroyed, those sinners need to be in Hell NOW, not when they die. They need the agony.... i CAN'T wait for Hell to become even more packed full, fit to burst, and the screams of the damned inside, hearing that just torment of sinners, will make heaven an even sweeter paradise. ideally from before 1800. mine is definitely anna komnene.

We, the peoples and nations of the Global South, stand united against the ongoing brutality of global injustice.
We reject a world order where:
Gaza is bombed with impunity, entire families wiped out by U.S.-backed airstrikes, while Western leaders defend genocide in the name of “security.”
Trump-era tariffs and protectionist policies crush the economic growth of emerging nations.
Brutal sanctions on Venezuela, Iran, Syria, and others deprive millions of medicine, food, and power—acts of economic warfare disguised as diplomacy.
Nuclear hypocrisy persists—where the Global North maintains weapons of mass destruction while demanding disarmament from the rest.
The world is pushed toward a new world war, while our lands are used as pawns and battlegrounds.
This is not peace. This is not order. This is systemic violence.
Soekarno warned us at Bandung:
"Colonialism is not dead. It has merely changed clothes."
Today, it wears the suits of G7 officials, the uniforms of occupation forces, and the algorithms of media propaganda.
We are not passive. We are not voiceless. We are rising.
We demand:
An end to all military and economic brutality against the peoples of the South.
Immediate ceasefire and justice for Gaza.
A new non-aligned movement, free from the chains of imperial economics and militarism.
Global nuclear disarmament, starting with the powers that threaten humanity.
Respect for sovereignty, equality, and human dignity—without exception.
We are Gaza. We are Caracas. We are Jakarta. We are Kinshasa.
The Global South is not weak. We are united.
We will not bow. We will resist. And we will rise. Is the analytic/synthetic distinction real or does it come down to nothing more than tautologies, circular logic, and replacing synonyms with synonyms (or more specifically replacing a definiens with a definiendum). The Gospel of John often references a character called "the beloved disciple" or "the disciple who was beloved by Jesus". What is the purpose behind referring to this character like this? What does it mean that he among all the disciples was beloved by Jesus? Why does John refuse to name him?
>It's John the author being anonymous
That seems super narcissistic for a gospel though. I want to read good books which 'orientalise' Medieval Europe, that is, make them appear as exotic as possible and highlighting their differences from us rather than their similarities
Any suggestions? St. Athanasius was correct to say that there is only one hypostasis in God. Basil of Caesarea, who was sympathetic to the homoiousians, was the first to introduce the concepts that the persons of the Trinity are three hypostases and analogizes them with Aristotelian primary substances. God is one substance and three persons, not one abstract nature and three substances because this is polytheism. Followers of the Cappadocians are polytheists. I follow Athanasius who represents the true spirit of the Nicene definition of God. Followers of the Cappadicians are Arians. Eastern Orthodox are Arians. Social Trinitarianism is polytheistic. I discovered that the only way atheists mock God is by using vulgarity cause with the other methods, it's just the spiteful antagonism alone without the witticism where their passive aggressiveness isn't so covert.
This can be dealt with easily as it can come from well meaning misconceptions but with the vulgar element, it leaves no doubt of their passive aggressiveness but they can pretend otherwise. Is Tengrism a made-up LARP? I have recently heard that Medieval Turks were largely practicing Nestorianism/Manicheanism before converting to Islam.
Pic related; a Medieval gravestone from Kyrgyzstan Would it really have stayed afloat if only the first four compartments were flooded? I am thinking of becoming a tradmeth. Methodistbros, what's the redpill of Weslayan theology? And where can I do further research?
>why not [insert denomination here]
One, I am a contrarian. Two, it is one of the religious denomination my ancestors and culture practiced. It's more sensible for me to practice Methodism than what is basically a foreign religious tradition to me. Three, I like Wesley because upon hearing his life story he actually seems like a humble servant of Christ, unlike others that people idolize on this board Just learned socialists in the 80s in greece were so corrupt that conservatives and communists joined forces in government to stop them You think X is evil either because society told you so(indoctrination) or it gives you the Ick(woman brain).
Morality isnt real, everything is allowed.
You could kill a billion people out of spite and that be completely okay.
Everythimg that says otherwise like calling you a manchild, evil, bad,... is herd morality cope. Does /his/ even read books? I feel like I can look up a relatively well-known history book on the board archives and see a lot more posts of it on /lit/ compared to /his/. Do you niggas read? It seems that this is a subject that causes a lot of controversy, and with so many translations and versions, I get confused about which one is the most accurate. There is that fight between Nordicists and MDists, but what do the sources REALLY SAY? I look for the most impartial thing possible.
and clearly I don't need to say that collages from old blogs are not good sources. >came to deliver the most important message in history

>Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him.

>The death of Sir Henry Strakosch in October 1943 brought a legacy of £20,000 (£1million) as well as cancelling a loan. As D-Day approached, Churchill was solvent for the first time in 20 years.
Thank God for Sir Henry Strakosch, without him history would be very different. God gives you a button. If you press it, it will instantly suck all of the evil out of reality and create hyperparadise for everybody. Everybody is lifted out of hell and instantly redeemed to be completely faultless, perfect beings. However all of that evil is in turn faced upon you, and will torment you alone for all of eternity in ultrahell.
If you wouldn't press that button instantly without waiting to hear about the consequences, you are not of pure soul. You must not hesitate to press that button so hard it pokes a hole in the fake laws of the world.
You will never make it to heaven. You there who hesitated. To hell with you. >God is pure act

As an American, looking at all of our wars, and accounting both for justification in starting and conduct in waging, I've determined who only ever fought two truly just wars.
One against the Regency of Algiers in the Second Barbary War, and one against Vichy France in Operation Torch.
These are the only conflicts that had entirely just motivations for being started, and conduct that was actually proportional and limited to that which was necessary to bring about victory. The Second Barbary War was fought due to Algiers literally enslaving American citizens, and only involved two engagements before getting Algiers to sue for peace. Vichy France had aligned itself with the Nazis and was actively engaged in the Holocaust, and taking it out of the picture diverted Axis troops from the Eastern Front, and unlike the rest of the war no cities were terror bombed with horrific civilian casualties.
Every other war in U.S. history was either started for malicious reasons, or conducted in truly abhorrent ways. People will say, "That's just part of war!" to the latter, but these two conflicts show it doesn't have to be.
However, I'd admittedly be surprised if anyone can find any other wars that meet this criteria. Are they the most overrated people in history? Presuppostionalism or Natural theology? Which is better? Which side started the second world war? of course (((modern historians))) say Hitler was the aggressor but many on the dissident right and of course David Irving view it as "the war of Anglo and Franco aggression" if you will. So the transcedental argument made by orthodox is supposed to justify and explain our use of logic and reason.
But what if the christian justification for it is wrong? And even if it's explanation is right, and a god is necessary for logic, why the jewish one?
It seems manipulative and like a way to avoid a serious discussion. *h2eri̯omón- (Anglicized: *Aryomon) and the Discovery of a New Proto-Germanic Sound Law
I investigated the comparison between the Vedic deity Aryaman, the mythological first high king of Ireland Érimón, and an obscure Germanic god which can be referred to as *Erman in Proto-Germanic terms, and as a result, a formal linguistic argument connecting *Erman to Aryaman was developed, which was only made possible by noticing a sound law that has previously received little or no attention. 
mostly peaceful child sacrifice altar found in Guatemala
>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tikal-altar-guatemala-jungle-used-sacrifices-mayan-teotihuacan-cultures/
Ancient altar found in Guatemala jungle apparently used for sacrifices, "especially of children," archaeologists say
An altar from the Teotihuacan culture, at the pre-Hispanic heart of what became Mexico, was discovered in Tikal National Park in Guatemala, the center of Mayan culture, demonstrating the interaction between the two societies, Guatemala's Culture and Sports Ministry announced this week.
The enormous city-state of Tikal, whose towering temples still stand in the jungle, battled for centuries with the Kaanul dynasty for dominance of the Maya world.
Far to the north in Mexico, just outside present day Mexico City, Teotihuacan — "the city of the gods" or "the place where men become gods" — is best known for its twin Temples of the Sun and Moon. It was actually a large city that housed over 100,000 inhabitants and covered around 8 square miles.
The still mysterious city was one of the largest in the world at its peak between 100 B.C. and A.D. 750. But it was abandoned before the rise of the Aztecs in the 14th century.
Lorena Paiz, the archaeologist who led the discovery, said that the Teotihuacan altar was believed to have been used for sacrifices, "especially of children."
"The remains of three children not older than 4 years were found on three sides of the altar," Paiz told The Associated Press. Was Jesus a jew? I mean, would he read the talmud and go to synagogues? Lets settle this once and for all: what is the etymology of “Easter”? Why do we use it instead of “Pascha”? Was this the peak of the European faustian spirit? Was the Monroe Doctrine justified? Why couldn't the Med industrialize?

I swear to Christ the more I read about this conflict the worse it gets. This went on for years, it never stopped, they never learned anything, things only changed once they got sufficiently advanced tanks and planes. How were these officials not butchered by the populations who just lost 50% of their countries' men to literally pointless suicide charges that achieved nothing? Why does everyone always reference the 1950s whenever it comes to anything nice or good in America. Why is the 1950s held in higher regard than other decades in the 20th century? Even in fashion
All I hear about in America is how great everything was in the 1950s, how people were nicer, how everything was cheap, how people had better hygiene back then, crime was lower, or how there was not as much stress or traffic back then? Did the islamic golden age happen? No one else can truly experience what's in our minds, what we feel, or what it's like to face our own death. In those moments, we're utterly alone. >How dare a leader oppose the American occupiers and the CIA agenda! Is this normal amongst normies?

The rise of secularism was a good thing. this was the last master moralist movement in history wasn't it? from now on every movement and ideology will be framed from the poisiton of "ahhhhhhhhh help us yahweh moloch, star of Remphan, we are oppressed" with some black trans islamic-jew in the background The "Byzantine" Empire never existed, it is a historical fabrication. It was always just the Roman Empire.
Also late antiquity Rome best Rome, cl*ssicists can go off themselves So, does god actively give little kids inoperable brain cancer, or does he just let them get it and then sit back and watch while it kills them? This isn’t rhetorical, I’m actually looking for an answer 
>With advances in science able to trace individuals' ancestry via their DNA, according to a widely publicised study (December 2008) in the American Journal of Human Genetics, modern Spaniards (and Portuguese) have an average admixture of 19.8 percent from ancestors originating in the Near East during historic times (i.e. Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Jews and Levantine Arabs) – compared to 10.6 percent of North African – Berber admixture. This proportion could be as high as 23% in the case of Latin Americans, however, according to a study published in Nature Communications. The possibly higher proportion of significant Jewish ancestry in the Latin American population could stem from increased emigration of Conversos to the New World to avoid persecution by the Spanish Inquisition
>The persecution of Jews came to New Spain along with the conquistadors. Bernal Díaz del Castillo described in his writings various execution of soldiers during the conquest of Mexico because they were accused of being practicing Jews, including Hernando Alonzo, who built the boats Cortés used to assault Tenochtitlán
>In 1544, Lope de Aguirre and Melchor Verdugo (a converso Jew) were at the side of Peru's first viceroy Blasco Núñez Vela, who had arrived from Spain with orders to implement the New Laws and suppress the encomiendas You should read this book and go to church. If Ancient Meds had muh beautiful olive skin that never burns but only tans, why did Livy record Romans getting sunburnt after a short military march? >Russia utterly destroys the Ottoman navy at Sinop
>Russia now has full control of the Black Sea
>the Ottomans were powerless to resist, Constantinople becomes a realistic target
>Britain immediately assembles a coalition to fight Russia because of muh "European balance of power"
Why were they like this? Why didn't they allow Russia to vanquish the Ottomans from Europe? Can christians practice tai chi and qi gong? Samaritans still sacrifice lambs every Passover. >allies with brown people

What changes? If Britain and France entered WW2 to protect Poland why didn't they fight the Soviet Union as well? >The question of black freedom is a very complicated and difficult one. In Africa and Asia it has been solved, but it has been solved by polygamy. Whites and blacks are part of the same family, the head of the family having white, black and coloured wives, white and mulatto children are brothers, are brought up in the same cradle, have the same name and the same table. Would it therefore be impossible to authorise polygamy in our islands by restricting the number of wives to two, one white and one black? The first consul had had some discussions with theologians to prepare this great measure. Best books or other resources on the viking age? Also its easy to find the icelandic sagas but are thre good english translations and collections of the king saga, legendary sagas, and the contemporary sagas Who was the Nazi Germany of the ancient or medieval world? Who was your favourite Greek god? There is art of Moses where his face is veiled Determinism has to be one of the most retarded thing.
It's incompatible with rationality.
If it's true, why not just sit saying it is what it is all day?
Why try to change anything?
>Cus something different might have been determined.
You utter humongous retard. >Just write one of the best theses ever and a substantial dowry so you can have a 0.03% chance of getting into Oxford, chum

If he is the all-powerful God and wanted to save all people, then why didn't he save everyone simply by his own willful decision?
Why all this complexity? Why did so many religious people participate in genocides throughout history? Isn't that a sin? Is conventional wisdom substantive or is it a quaint school of thought? The ultimate philosophical debate:
Are hotdogs sandwiches? >oldest recorded myth in European history
>Greek Minoan Queen (Pasiphae) fucks an animal (bull) and produces a half animal monster baby (*cough* mutt *cough*… I mean, minotaur)

>it was about slavery!
>no it was about states' rights!
Why do americans keep using those arguments?
Is this just an internet meme?
The entire thing was clearly about politics.
>the political/social/ideological/economic discrepancy between north & south was peaking, to the point they basically behaved and operated like two different entities already
>the entire political environment shaped itself around the north/south dichotomy
>the south-oriented party (dem) was utterly failing to retain popularity, to the point it pretty much collapsed into multiple wings (further splitting their already diminishing electorate)
>any hope of ever controlling the executive again was crashing with no survivors
>northern demography was exploding and they kept importing european immigrants, which means the south was losing Congress for good as well
>the federal government, which pretty much embraced the classic Hamiltonian ideas of centralization/protectionism/industrialization, was NEVER going to allow future states to be built around the opposite Jeffersonian model (a population of small land owners, agriculture over industry, economic liberalism, small gov etc)
>which means balance in Congress was never going back, and the south was forced to either give up on political representation or secede
It all comes down to politics.
Slavery was obviously a big part of the picture but it wasn't really the point, as
>Lincoln wasn't an abolitionist
>his campaign had nothing to do with the issue and he didn't even touch the subject until it was convenient to weaken the confederacy
>Border states had slavery but they didn't join the confederacy, hell Lincoln even let them keep their slaves
>the single democratic candidate with the biggest percentage of votes was in favor of letting states abolish slavery; 3/4 of his electoral college votes were from the south
Did the northern effort to reframe the conflict on ideological grounds work so well it's still monopolizing the discourse to this day? >mfw learning about napoleon
everything negative that people say about this man is purely the result of british propaganda
literally everything Why couldn't Italy beat them? What was the socialist gospel before Marx? Is philosophy for everyone or just an elite few? how did it happen that the brightest mind in history was a Hindu? Why do goyim never want to admit that Hegel and Hegelian philosophy were a huge influence on Zionism (Religious Zionism in particular)? Do they not realize Rav Kook (the philosophical guru of the Religious Zionist movement that most Jewish settlers in the West Bank adhere to) was a full-blown Hegelian and based his Zionist philosophy off of Hegel’s metaphysical ideas of the nation, etc.? >Bonjour serviteurs allemands! Avez-vous vu des Saxons per ici? Je veux juste parler haha. Prove that a Jew can fly and i convert to your desertschizo religion 
WWII was basically the shitty Anglos waiting for the Nazis and Soviets to kill themselves.
They only really entered the war after the Soviet victory because they were afraid it would create a Socialist Europe. They were terrified of the Red Army arriving in Portugal
Those dirty Anglos only entered Continental Europe in 1944 and on top of that they got a maximus beating in the Ardennes. They were lucky that the best of what Germany had was on the Eastern Front being grinded by Russia.
Lend-lease never accounted for more than 4% of Soviet supplies, and on purpose the shitty Yankees sent almost everything disassembled and without manuals on how to assemble the equipment. Or they just sent obsolete equipment. English and Yankee companies and banks supplied gold, money, factories and equipment to the Nazi Germany. Cocca-cola, for example, used enslaved workforce in Nazi Germany. Hitler gave a fucking medal to Henry Ford because Ford and General Motors engines were extremely important to the Nazis. General Motors even saved Opel from bankruptcy.
And that's totally normal, because Nazis and Yankees had the exactly same racial ideology.
In fact, Hitler thought the Yankee One-drop rule was just too crazy. But he said he would do to the Slavs and Jews what the Yankees did to the Amerindians and Blacks.
Anglo-Yankee liberalism is the siamese twin of Nazism.
Even today they link people's rights to their race and ancestry.
Everyone with two brain cells knows that Anglo-American money built the German army. They were broken. From where did Germany get the money to build that army? From the US.
Hitler was the Taleban, Isis, Zelensky, Saddam Hussein, Bin Laden of the past:
the US financed it, made it grow, supported it, but when the yankees saw that shit had gone wrong, they slunk away and pretended thry had nothing to do with that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mYSpxOa4KU
Seriously how was Dirlewanger real? It's like if Judge Holden got sent to WW2. He's basically Satan in human form. >6 million jews went into hiding for the rest of their lives somewhere in the USSR

He is now finishing his training and will soon fight the Devil Majin Buu Remember that Che only became radicalized because he saw, firsthand, the shit that the US did in Guatemala.
The US created the radical Guevara.
Ernesto "Che" Guevara lived in Guatemala for nine months in 1953 and 1954. The experience in Guatemala was decisive for his conviction in the armed struggle against oppression.
Che Guevara in Guatemala
Che arrived in Guatemala at the end of 1953.
He tried to work as a doctor, but was unsuccessful.
He witnessed the military coup (FINANCED BY THE US) that overthrew President Jacobo Arbenz, who had implemented social and economic reforms.
He met Cubans who had participated in the attack on the Moncada Barracks in Cuba.
He was exposed to the reality of foreign domination and the impact of imperialist policies in Latin America.
Consequences of the experience in Guatemala
It consolidated his belief in armed struggle as the only viable means of combating oppression.
He decided to join the ranks of the Communist Party.
He arrived in Mexico in 1954, where he worked as a photographer and doctor.
He received an invitation from a Cuban friend to join the group that had fled the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. >"It would have been much better if the Greeks had been conquered by the Persians instead of by the Romans."

NVKE Charlemagne and the empire he created mark the point at which the Christianization of Europe as a whole became inevitable. In an alternate world where the WRE becomes Christian and survives, I don't think there's anything deterministic with Scandinavia or the Baltics converting because of trade. They got converted precisely because of this Frankish model - with the Norsemen taking after Germany and France - and the Balts got converted because of German pressure. Before reading history: Are these brownpeepo?
After reading history: THEY WILL BE UNTOUCHED BY PLAGUE OR DISEASE; NO SICKNESS SHALL BLIGHT THEM. THEY SHALL HAVE SUCH TACTICS, STRATEGIES AND MACHINES THAT NO FOE WILL BEST THEM IN BATTLE. THEY ARE MY BULWARK AGAINST THE (((TERROR))). THEY ARE THE DEFENDERS OF HUMANITY. THEY ARE MY INQUISITORS...AND THEY SHALL KNOW NO FEAR.
