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. Pic is Philosopher Justin Martyr, Poet Homer, Historian Thucydides, Philosophers Aristotle, Plato and Historian Plutarch. All aside from Justin Martyr were not Christian or saints, but had great influence on the systems of theology of the church etc. >Deny all reason and logic

Now what? What are the huns gonna do? Why didn't they kill this dude? Are Russians the most Nordic looking Slavs? Perhaps it is the Finno-Ugric blood that gives it the Nordic appearance. Estonians and Finns are physically similar to Swedes. Outside of Vlad Tepes what is Romania's history like? Why did this make Ataturk seethe so hard? Its just a hat. if morality isnt derived from religion, then why has every openly atheist government in history devolved into a murder-state whose only political currency is violence? There is a psychological war being engaged against Malikism for decades, arguably centuries.
Do any Malikis (and non-Malikis) have anything to share? What are some novel yet effective forms of government throughout history? >Soviets and British knew about German plans before even most German officers
>Spent literal months building up defenses and preparing troops in the region
>German reconnaissance and intelligence somehow never picked up on this???
>Germans proceed to accelerate straight into a brick wall and eat shit
>barely make a dent on Soviet lines
Ngl for what is basically the largest battle in human history, this was a pretty underwhelming one.
Why was German intelligence so fucking garbage in the war?
Would they even have been able to do much if they had successfully penetrated Soviet lines? They were already locally outnumbered before the battle began The fact that the Nazi government even tolerated this man immediately dispels any "clean SS" myth Do you believe that a virgin gave birth to a magic jew that flew around on a magic cloud? What is the most schizo religion of all time?

No Abrahamic, Hindu, or Buddhism. If you don't actually know anything about obscure minor religions, don't post in this thread. The HRE was a Celto-Germanic Union, so it would've worked most splendidly, and the dukes didn't like the Parisians Was it really such a good idea to oppose Britain and start WWII? What were the advantages of engaging in the military conflict? The number of casualties was mind boggling. Was it worth it? Why are these countries so hated by european and american right wingers/white supremacists? Manchus were a bunch of scum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPrQjuMl4AY >The universe is deterministic
>So, I don't have free will!
Is this the most midwit philosophical view in the world? Why do so many scientists fall into this trap when compatibilism has been written about so richly from so many angles? The Confederates were one-hundred percent correct vis a vis the constitution and the only reason people don't support them is because of the institution of slavery being the rallying point behind their constitutional arguments.
1. The United States is a federal compact. It is so fundamentally retarded to believe otherwise. The fedgov is a creation of the states, not the other way around.
2. Constitutionally, there was no precedent or argument to ban specific types of property from federally administered territories. Only when those territories voted to become states could they have the sovereignty to ban specific types of property.
3. The right of secession is fundamentally implied in the 10th Amendment, several states on ratifying the Constitution only did so with secession clauses in their assemblies that voted for ratification, and a federal compact implies secession anyway even if the 10th Amendment didn't exist. Vgh, imagine being a Black cavalryman in 1681 and crushing the skull of an ugly iberian hooknosed portuguese rapebaby mutt with your horse as he begs for his life. "There is as much evidence for the Flying Spaghetti Monster, as there is for Yahweh"
Abrahamic believers, do you disagree with the above statement?
If so, how can you prove it?
Note the Bible isn't evidence that Yahweh is real.
It's a book, and a book in and of itself doesn't prove something is real.
If that were true that a book about the Flying Spaghetti Monster is proof that he too, is real. Does /his/ think there is anything beyond the physical universe? Or is the physical world the only world? To me, the only real tangible thing we can point to that potentially posits the existence of "something more" is consciousness itself. Regardless whether free will exists or not, the fact that you are not just some biological automaton machine but are actually a "thing" that experiences things doesn't seem to have any explanation in the material world, but beyond that I can't really think of anything else. The seeming "order" of the universe can be considered as well but who knows what the fuck that actually means. why do we believe the ancient sources when they claim army sizes? It makes no sense that rome and china were deploying napoleonic age sized armies in the 2nd century BC

All of it is (((Interpretation))). You have your beliefs -> You become "Neo-Pagan" instead of believing in Neo-Paganism -> to generate what you believe. It holds no accountability for its followers because any "unjust" action it is just an interpretation away from being considered *actually* canon. So you larp as an 9th century Scandinavian in the vain belief that if Paganism wasn't destroyed today, it would not have changed beliefs at all. You couldn't even go with pagan religions we actually have well known written sources about because it is too demanding to follow even a modicum of prescriptive religious actions. Basically paganism is hedonism with an ideological bend, it's a way for Atheist to larp belief without having to concede to actual articles of faith.
Paganism is a fashion statement.

There's nothing wrong with God regulating slavery because slavery isn't inherently evil.
There, simple. Why is that so hard for some people to understand? I am currently doubting the authenticity and existence of Jesus as a historical person and even more so as the son of God, a miracle worker and his death and subsequent resurrection, the same with God, saints, angels, paradise and other related things.
So to all those who had a similar crisis, how did you manage to reaffirm your faith and eliminate the doubts and uncertainties of God, Jesus, the holy scriptures and christianity? There's a interesting legend associated with Napoleon that he was advised by some type of scarlet spirit of destiny. I recently came up with a interesting theory that this little red man is actually supposed to be Cardinal Richelieu. Now I don't mean that it was literally Richelieu from beyond the grave, although I suppose that's possible as well. What I think is that the little red man was a symbol which predated Napoleon, and that the creature was based off of the Cardinal. The being has a red motif, is associated with the persecution of Huguenots, and advises the Monarchs of France; fits pretty well with Richelieu. I believe that the legend spread orally amongst French Protestants before being adopted into the mainstream as Propaganda against Bonaparte. The only hole in my theory is that the red man is associated with the
Tuileries palace, which may place a oral origin to before Richelieu was born. >The new FDR administration embarked on several currency reforms including removing the dollar from the gold standard and switching to purely fiat currency. In addition the administration retired paper notes greater than $100 in denomination. This included the $500 bill, which depicted President William McKinley, the $1,000 bill, depicting President Grover Cleveland, the $5,000 bill, depicting President James Madison, and the $10,000 bill, depicting President Woodrow Wilson. None of these large denomination notes were significantly missed since they were seldom seen in general circulation and were most often limited to inter-bank transfers. Since 1934 the $100 bill has been the largest US unit of currency in circulation and accounts for 70% of all paper notes the government prints annually.[9] 
Why did the Al-Andalusians adopt European-style armor and cavalry warfare, while the Ottomans did not?
By the mid-13th century, the Andalusians had fully adopted European armor and knightly warfare, with their cavalry becoming nearly identical to their Christian adversaries. However, the Ottomans chose to stick to their traditional emphasis on horse archers and utilized a mix of half-plate and mail armor. Even though elite Ottoman units like the Kapıkulu cavalry combined horse archery with shock tactics effectively, they never fully adopted European-style full plate armor or fielded a cavalry force resembling European knights.
The Ottomans utilized Serbian knights in battles such as Nicopolis (1396) and Ankara (1402), where these knights in full plate armor distinguished themselves in combat. This shows the Ottomans clearly recognized the effectiveness of such heavy cavalry. Combining knights in full plate with their other forces—such as their Janissaries and Kapıkulu cavalry—could have been a powerful strategy. Yet they still chose not to adopt European armor on a wider scale. Why was this the case? What is the argument against simply bullying a consequentialist relentlessly until they decide the consequences of believing in consequentialism causes more suffering than any perceived benefit? 
The Judeo-Islamo-Christian assertion of a personal god which demands we lower ourselves before him, act out of severeness and submission for fear of offense, and that reverence in its presence should manifest as quiet and solemn sternness... I find it to be untenable. It's the result of mending religious belief with the flawed insecurities of man-made systems. A belief in a bureaucracy, because the dogma was formed by a bureaucracy. In this flawed scope, this celestial bureaucracy is naturally headed by a chieftan just as small and unimpressive as one could expect to be imagined by mediocre minds which elevate such nonsense.
In my lived experience, I find no divine light in this system. I do not find it personable, nor do I find it truthful or reasonable. I have known god to be lighthearted and jovial, of infinite compassion and understanding, incapable of taking offense. To spit a thousand of the sharpest curses, laced with the most potent emotional venom at the almighty is met with a cocked eyebrow and dry smirk. Like a child declaring "I hate you!" to a parent. A lesser parent is struck with daggers to his heart. A wise and legendary parent merely finds the rebelliousness of youth to be predictable and a droll affair. God of course is the wisest and most legendary parent of all.
The tomes of rationalizations that ivory tower great "thinkers" have wasted their time penning in justifying their conception of god... they all fall flat on their face. In direct experience with that being of omnibenevolent grace, even the harshest of emotional toxins are trivially brushed away. That is what miraculous phenomenon is. But the small minds of men project their own experiences of tyrants onto god, because they are deaf and blind and know no better.
This is the greatest tragedy of Abrahamism. I pity them so much. Why did the HRE fail to state-ify like France or England did? What is the best outcome? Has any other time period in our known history involved a government letting in billions of unvetted foreigners to hurt their own people? Why do we pretend Belgium is a real country? What history does it have? Its just France. https://geneu.xyz/phenotype

His haters are atheist troons, quite sad he died too young so he would have taught his children to man up correctly. Truly an emperor I hold in good esteem. Historically speaking, who should control Alsace–Lorraine? What sort of things went on here? Is there any way to fix this board? It's almost like every other thread is a religion thread now and they're so clearly made by underage posters and the mods don't care, and the remaining history threads barely have anything good posted. This board was raided badly in the past but this is something else. >and that day atheists told to God — we asked for great thinkers to prove your existence and you did not hear us — and God, looking down at them answered — I sent you many, the wisest and most righteous one my loyal servant Aquinas who proved that I Am What I Am, with perfect divine inspired arguments; and you ignored him — and after saying these words, the Earth opened her mouth and sent these sinners to the Lake of Fire where they burned day and night, and the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever. I've been listening to Jay Smith who is a Christian Apologist/Evangelist and had spent his entire life trying to debunk Islam and converting Muslims to Christianity
Anyways, he has a couple video series where he pushes the theory that essentially ALL of the "Islamic Standard Narrative" was forged and made up by the Abbassids 200 years later
There are a lot of difference types of evidence for this, but amongst the more relevant ones are that Standard Islamic Narrative claims Mekka and Medina were important powerful places during the time period of the beginning of Islam, despite not being marked on a single map or having any archeological evidence of human habitation from the period, that the Quran is unchanged from the first Quran to the current ones with no variations, that Hadiths and biographies of the Prophet Muhammad first showed up 200 years later when the Abbassids were in power, and so on.
I would like to ask whether this theory has conclusive proof disproving it What are the historical reasons why anglos are so ugly/weird looking compared to other Europeans? Southern Europe absolutley mogs them, you can even grab a stinky Pierre in Paris and he'd mog angloids. Some Scandinavians look kind of Asian but there are tall ones who absolutley mog angloids. Even Americans due to the mixture of their anglo stock with other Europeans (Germans, Poles, Italians, Norway) are on average way more handsome. Then you have to factor in that kiwis and Aussies aren't as ugly either but are mostly anglo. Don't even get me started on angloid women, who manage to make their men look better and dating down when you see an anglo couple. Is it inbreeding? Toxins? Why has this been historically the case? Why did Italy help Turks in the Turkish War of Independence? They were mad that they didn't get the Smyrna zone (which would have been stupid anyways) and it got given to Greece instead. So out of spite they went against Greece and helped the Kemalists. I could in theory understand if Italy supported the Turks in exchange for the Turks giving them Smyrna and the Italian Zone. But they didn't get it.
But then they just gave away Smyrna and the Italian zone to Turkey, so they armed, trained, and protected them for literally no reason with nothing in return. This has to be one of the greatest nonsensical geopolitical blunders of all time. Why was New York so grimy and dangerous 30 years ago? What was the relationship between Islam and Homosexuality like historically? I understand that the religion is broadly homophobic, but I know that in some cases Muslim countries had homosexuals in high positions, like with the Ottoman turks and their infamous boyfucking. What were the times where Islam was more accepting of the gays? Why have the become much more fundamentalist recently?

Who exactly was Luke written for? How's this not just mexico but bigger Why has Monica Lewinsky never been married? Would another Opium war fix relations with China? The Conspiracy of Ibn al-Alqami the Rafidi
In summary, the incident involves Ibn al-Alqami, who was the vizier to the Abbasid caliph al-Musta'sim. The caliph, like his father and grandfather before him, was a Sunni Muslim, but he was also lenient and lacked vigilance. This Rafidi vizier was plotting to overthrow the caliphate, exterminate the Sunnis, and establish a state following the Rafidi (Shi'a) creed. He exploited his position and the caliph's negligence to execute his conspiracies against the caliphate. His plot had three main stages:
First Stage: Weakening the Army and Harassing the People
Ibn al-Alqami worked to reduce the salaries of the Muslim army and weaken them. Ibn Kathir said: "The vizier Ibn al-Alqami strived to discharge the troops and remove their names from the registry. In the last days of al-Mustansir, the troops were nearly one hundred thousand fighters... He continued to reduce them until only ten thousand remained." [Al-Bidaya wa'l Nihaya: 13/202]. The numbers in the East, seem a bit exaggerated. The Russians lie all the time. Like about Katyn. Never have heard of them.
Also, where is the 6 million? A dog walked into a tavern and said, "I cant see a thing. I'll open this one."

Scotland really is the joke version of England (joke language, pathetic attempt at colonialis, etc). Today I just found the greatest Shia hadith ever
> The angels moved to all directions in the heaven and fell down in prostration saying, ‘Free of all defects and Most Holy is the Lord of the angels and the spirit. What is this light that is so similar to the light of our Lord?’ Jibril then said twice, ‘I testify that only Allah deserves worship. The angels gathered and said, ‘O Jibril, who is he with you?’ He (Jibril) replied, ‘He is Muhammad.’
So… muhammeds light is so similar to Allah’s light that a bunch of angels mistook it for Allahs light and started worshipping it? The truth fears no investigation Wether you like them or not, drugs have been a cornerstone of human society for millenia.

*spit* I used to think the papacy was a trivial issue, but then the more I watch Catholics content, the more I realize how central the pope is to their religion and worldview. Totally alien to me... mending the schism of 1054 is utterly impossible as long as the papal structure exists in its current form Would Turks be better off today if they had stayed Tengrists Muslim means “one who submits his will to the will of God.” Therefore, Jesus was in fact Muslim. >Paleoconservatives are generally critics of Israel and supporters of the Arab cause in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; they have argued that supporting the country damages foreign relations with the Islamic world and American interests abroad.[30] Buchanan has asserted that "Capitol Hill is Israeli occupied territory".
Historically speaking, what happened to the American Right? It's kinda bizarre they were majority Protestant nominally speaking and yet still fought with Protestant Britain and Protestant America
A Protestant could say he was fighting the New World Order besides trad Caths and Muslims it's weird It seems like a religion of war, murder and rape.
While Jesus the carpenter condemned violence and praised brotherhood, love, chastity, monogamy and genuine love and veneration for God, at the time he offered his life for the sins of his people.
Muhammad was a tribal warlord who murdered tens of thousands persons, had tons of concubines he fucked to cheat his wives with, married a 6 years old girl at the time he sent others to fight and die for him in the battlefield with the promise they would have 72 virgins to fuck in heaven (thus ignoring the fate of the women they got to marry in this life, being turned into another of the 72 concubines of the kamikazes), etc
Why is Islam so vile in its essence? So wait, the first celts weren't white basically? Why do larpagans complain that Christianity is a non-European religion given that actual pagan Europeans had no problem worshiping Egyptian, Anatolian, Mesopotamian, etc gods?

Manhattan Project? Infiltrated. Hollywood? Infiltrated. British Foreign Office? Infiltrated. West German Chancellor's Office? Infiltrated. Your high school locker room? Heh you know it
What made Soviet intelligence so good at subverting and infiltrating every fucking organization on this planet? I've read cope answers that the Jews envisioned the Messiah as a warrior-king rather than a priest, which is why they rejected Jesus and backed military leaders like Simon bar Kokhba. But I don't care who you are, if you see a guy who can raise the dead, walk on water, and resurrect himself, you're pledging yourself to him. This only makes sense if Jesus was just a regular guy with no special powers. Explain to me how this isn't just repackaged religious perennialism. Red-Letter Christians and Gospel-Only Christians follows the secure path.
The God in the Old Testament is a projection men made. Jesus came to show us what God really is.

I don’t get it. Is this dude a grifter? He seems too smart and educated to say some of the things he says. He flip flops between sounding like an intelligent Biblical scholar and a rust belt youth pastor owning the libs (atheists).

He replied "I can't win with only the best and brightest!" Post pictures of this underrated style of architecture. Revivals are also allowed here. Really though, why follow social norms, laws, morality instead of being a ubermensch if you had no backlash for what you did? Why did Indo-Europeans spread homosexuality where ever they went? > one of Mo’s personal enemies said “I have not seen any people who love anyone the way the Companions of Muhammad love Muhammad.“
Yeah that… speaks for itself Exactly what laws are Christians supposed to follow? Jesus made it seem like it's more of a "spirit of the law" thing than actually following things to the letter. Are the Old Laws applicable to them? >God isn’t real because slavery existed in the Bible
Literally the only talking point this nimwit ever resorts to. My college professor said that in the ancient world, the concept of "an army of a country" was a very vague and anachronistic term, since according to her, nations practically used mercenaries and these mercenaries were from different places with ethnic origins. different. So for example, saying "Persian army" is a vague term because she said that the armies were composed of Elamites, Scythians, Parthians, etc., etc., the same in Greece, etc.
that is true? Does the existence of Hell disprove the all-loving and merciful God?
Think about it, Hell is a place where there's a lack of Good and you are abandoned by God for all eternity disproving two attributes of God that being omnipresent and all good. People all over the world have horrible thoughts and dreams about Hell and suffer daily from thinking about it. >brazilians have a race czar council, an anti-varg collective, just to deny benefits to thirdies who are too white adjacent

>however they do not use eye or hair color
why don't they use eye or hair color? Was it really such a good idea to oppose Hitler and start WWII? What were the advantages of engaging in the military conflict? The number of casualties was mind boggling. Was it worth it? NATO was founded to protect Europe from asiatic despotism. haplosisters, our response?

When a journalist asked in 1981 "What does it feel to be elected by the left people", Mitterand responded : "20 Years of drinking kir".
That Dude was a realistic James Bond Villain. he took over the left and destroyed it from the inside just for his own political career. >Go to asia history museum

>People from Ayashii Warudo migrated to a website called Amezou, which was similar to Ayashii Warudo, but was created after it
>If I get it right, Amezou faced the same problems as Ayashii Warudo did and servers got bloated. Also Amezou faced a lot of vandalism from Ayashii Warudo users and its admin also received some threats as Shiba did.

https://youtu.be/2JJEiXJ2_7Q non orthodox christians be like Australia has no fertile river valleys.
Most of the land (the Outback) is completely uninhabitable, with populations clustering around the coasts.
Australia doesn't possess any domesticatable native animal species with most being hostile to human life.
Australian aboriginals were physically and genetically isolated for millennia, leading to widespread inbreeding.
Australia had zero markers for civilizational potential, it had to be brought from outside.
If you had dropped white people in Australia instead of aboriginals the results would have been the same, they would not hace developed civilization so y'all racists better stop pretending aboriginals didn't invent civilization because there's inferior instead of just being stuck in a shit starting position. > "I hate Honorius OMG"

With that amount of seething we can assume he was onto something.
The man outlived a gazillion usurpers while staying in his confortable and well fortified palace, I'd say he was the smartest of the lot Why did kwarij lose ? They seemed to have most coherent ideology
And why are they so villianized today Shia Muslims and Orthodox Christian’s are the only abrahamic religions with a reasonable stance on hell cuz they believe you can pray a damned person out of hell. Only before the last judgement, if you’re damned at the last judgement you’re fucked, but I’d still take the EO/Shia stance over the mainstream abrahamic stance that all pagans and atheists burn forever. So Ancient Egypt and the Middle East excluding parts of Syria and Iraq were full of brown-skinned to very dark brown/black people, with lighter skinned women imported from Indo European and Semite territory as exotic concubines for the Black elite or even Black commoners?
