Welcome to /his/ - History & HumanitiesThis 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.No titleYes, I am from Normandy. Yes, I am Scandinavian. Yes I am Germanic.

God is immortal and cannot feel pain (feeling pain is a weakness, and omnipotence means no weaknesses), so he's merely pretending to suffer as he is seemingly executed.
The event may be compared to a fictional character being tortured and dying in a play, a film or a videogame. It can be emotionally compelling if you're immersed in it, but it's not real. The actor behind the character isn't actually hurt in the process.
Jesus' crucifixion could only inspire compassion if he were just a man (not man and god at the same time), otherwise it's really a mere simulationNo title500 years later, in my small Portuguese village that doesn't even reach a thousand inhabitants, we still know and discriminate the families that are descendants of new Christians and conversos. 711 never forgive, never forgetNo titleAs a matter of fact, the Lutheran view about the nature of the real presence is closer to the Catholic view than the Reformed view, since it is corporeal. However, as a matter of explanation, the Catholic articulation is closer to the Reformed than it is to the Lutheran.
In siding with the Reformed, the Catholics say that the Lutheran understanding of the communicatio idiomatum is heretical and Eutychian.
All parties believe in the communication of attributes in accordance with the definitions of Chalcedon and Ephesus. That is to say, there is a certain transitivity admitted of the attributes of the divine nature and the human nature on account of their unity with one another through the divine hypostasis of the Son, but this transitivity fails the more abstract the terms become. So for example, to say that "God died on the cross" is completely orthodox. But to say that "The ousia (divine nature) died on the cross" is heretical. This, I think, all parties assent to.
Where there is disagreement is on whether or not the attributes may be communicated between the natures, that is to say, whether the communication is symmetric. Thus the Lutheran would admit that the human nature of Christ may be said to predicate divine attributes, "the humanity is omnipresent". Therefore, for the Lutheran, Christ can be present in the Eucharist because his human nature, being deified (especially in his own glorification), it is possible for his human nature to really take on the property of being omnipresent, and in an instance such as the consecration of bread and wine in the Eucharist, this really happens. But both the Catholic and the Reformed would say that Christ's presence in the Eucharist is sacramental.No title>Christians believe that a Saiyan Jew capable of flying, glowing golden and being resurrected really existed and flew to Planet Kaioh where he is training right now to face the Demon Majin Buu.Why did Central Asia never produce an educated class of Muslims like the Middle Eastern nations?You will find lots of doctors, dentists, surgeons, professors, authors, etc working in the West from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Iraq, etc but Afghanistan and Central Asia seemed to always remain poor and low IQ like peasants.

Tyndale’s Bible was considered "heretical" by the Catholic Church at the time, not because it contained teachings that were explicitly heretical in the way that we might think of heresy today, but because it made the Bible available to common people in their own language. The Church at the time believed that the Bible should remain in Latin, which was understood primarily by the clergy, as they believed only an educated priesthood should interpret the Scriptures. By translating the Bible into English, Tyndale challenged the Church’s authority to control the interpretation of Scripture.
Tyndale's Bible itself did not contain heretical teachings. His translation was based on the original Hebrew and Greek texts, and he aimed to provide an accurate and accessible version of the Bible. However, certain doctrinal shifts he advocated for, such as the idea that salvation comes through faith alone (a key principle of Protestantism), were considered heretical by the Catholic Church. Tyndale also translated certain terms in ways that were controversial, such as using "congregation" instead of "church" (to emphasize the idea of a community of believers rather than the institutional structure of the Church), which further irritated Church authorities.No titleHow did the Chinese in US ascend above the old denigrating Chinaman stereotype?The end of the petrodollarAll it takes was other countries to stop using it and the US instantly defaults its hundreds of trillions in debt.

Disgusting...No titleIt's crazy to think that at the beginning of the fourth century, Catholicism was admist a sea of heresies. So many heresies! It's not like they were in the minority, no they abounded everywhere. Novatians, Arians, Donatists, Montanism, Marcionites, Valentinians, Sabellianists, Luciferians, Origenists, etc. etc. And yet all of these heresies eventually faded away, and Catholicism was ultimately triumphant. The situation is very similar today. One of the characteristics John H. Newman ascribes to genuine doctrinal development as opposed to legitimate corruption is unity of principle. Indeed the principles of the 4th century Catholic Church correspond most closely with those held by the current day Western Church, the successor of the medieval Western Church, the successor to the Catholic Church. He observed how history repeats itself. Today we have Anglicans, Lutherans, Baptists, Calvinists, Sedevecantists, Palamites, Methodists, Pentecostals, and as in the 4th century, even as in the 2nd century, a sea of heresies and schisms abound. But there is that one, unified, single Catholic Church, with one universal doctrine, with true Catholicity, and everyone recognizes it! Not even the Eastern Orthodox Churches have this same degree of Catholicity. Even if they want to intellectually deny it, in their heart of hearts everyone knows it. As a side note, but adjacent, it's crazy to me how pagans were charging early Christians with superstition and conspiracies in the same way Fundamentalists and Confessional Protestants may do the same for the Catholic Church. This is another observation John H. Newman made as well.Fighting Prince of DonegalDid you know that Disney made a film about a 16th Century war between the Gaelic Irish and the Kingdom of England?

So the questions, which are fairly related to each other, I raise are:
Will TTRPGs, and variants on them like MUDs or chat-based RPGs, with the character sheets, the Game Master, the dice, and so on, last the test of time? Will the likes of Gary Gygax leave a lasting imprint on Western culture (assuming it survives), creating other noteworthy works of art that are downstream of TTRPGs, but not the TTRPGs themselves? Or is it just a big fad, a weird fixation of the late 20th and early 21st centuries that will peter out with our lifetimes, forgotten to time?

Where's the responsibility of the Soviet Union, who signed in 1939 the pact with Hitler, enabled him to make war? Are we not to find Russia guilty?
Where's the responsibility of the Vatican, who signed in 1933 the Concordat with Hitler, giving him his first tremendous prestige? Are we not to find the Vatican guilty?
Where's the responsibility of the world leader, Winston Churchill, who said in an open letter to the London Times in 1938 > "were England to suffer national disaster should pray to God to send a man of the strength of mind and will of an Adolf Hitler!" Are we not to find Winston Churchill guilty?
Where is the responsibility of those American industrialists, who helped Hitler to rebuild his armaments and profited by that rebuilding? Are we not to find the American industrialists guilty?
No, Germany alone is not guilty: The whole world is as responsible for Hitler's Germany. It is an easy thing to condemn one man in the dock. It is easy to condemn the German people to speak of the basic flaw in the German character that allowed Hitler to rise to power and at the same time positively ignore the basic flaw of character that made the Russians sign pacts with him, Winston Churchill praise him, and the American industrialists profit by him.There is no way transubstantiation is realIt has to either change a hidden nature that we can't perceive or it is symbolic or it is bullshit.No titlewho was in the wrong hereNo title>annexes so much land it doesn't fit onto a map anymore >planned even more conquests to be annexed >'hitler wanted just danzig and peace' why are zoomers and nazis so delusional?Nobody dares argue with Muslims about monotheismAll of the objections and arguments against Islam are about other issues with the religion like laws and punishments and stuff that Muhammad did during his lifetime. But no one would dare argue with Muslims that monotheism is true. This is taken as a given that monotheism is true when discussing with a Muslim. Even non-Abrahamic faiths all concede to Muslims that indeed monotheism is true and not polytheism even if they themselves are from a polytheistic faith like Sikhs and Rastarfarians. They will all agree with the Muslim and affirm the position of monotheism. The arguments with Islam start after that, but all parties except for atheists agree with Muslims on monotheism, not a single member of another faith will argue for polytheism being true.
This is what Muslims mean when they talk about an ingrained natural disposition (fitrah) in the human being towards Oneness of God. All humans, at least all people who believe in God acknowledge that only monotheism makes sense.No titlewas this literal?No titleHow often do you think about the 1950’s?No titleGod is the ultimate Source, the Creator, the absolute Reality. God is pure Love, beyond form, time, and space. God is unchanging and eternal, and nothing exists outside of God. God creates only like Himself, meaning He creates only in spirit, and not in form.
Christ is the Son of God, the extension of God’s Love, created in His perfect likeness. Christ is not a body or a person but the one true Self that we all share beyond the illusion of separation. Christ remains united with God and never left Heaven (only in illusion does the world appear real). Christ represents the awareness of our divine nature, which we reclaim through awakening.
God is the Creator; Christ is His Creation (but not separate from Him). God is the Source; Christ is the Extension of that Source. God is the First Cause; Christ is the Effect—eternally one with the Cause.No titleName me a single good democrat president in history.

For instance Muslims say "Under Islam there would be no oppression, everyone would have a house, heat and food to eat. No gambling, drugs or alcohol means poverty would be eradicated overnight"
Yet when we look at modern Muslim countries there is still poverty, oppression, injustice and corruption everywhere. Muslims say that this is because none of these countries represent *real Islam*.
We are given the early Caliphates as examples of this real Islam and told to look how the Prophet and his companions lived, yet this does nothing to help us in the modern day since they are all long dead. How can we trust that a global Islamic Caliphate would be everything Muslims say it would be when we don't have any modern examples to look at and see how it works?No titleWhat conclusions can you reach from these animated shorts? https://youtube.com/watch?v=CWih5yFJJG4 https://youtube.com/watch?v=7Q0ZuNYHzNgSo let me get this straight.A virgin gave birth to a magic rabbi that flew around on a magic cloud doing magic powers with zombies and not a single person who met him wrote anything down?No titleSo Shia Muslims are correct right?

Why is this very obvious fact so controversial?
Back when they were pitching the religion to the Greeks it was sold as the unification of all people who are of God, for their salvation and dominion over the earth. "Of God" meaning literal blood descended peoples of gods, Zeus, Odin, etc. This was appealing because it empowered the native white European people, and disenfranchised the foreign usurpers... paving the way for the following 1500 years of white global dominion. That was until the churches embraced the heresy of racial blindness, and abandoned the mission to save the people of God from destruction.No titleThis is what America is aboutNo titleRemember Argentina used to be 85% white and the rest light-skinned mestizos Many years ago, Europeans stopped coming and immigrants from Latin American countries began to come,mainly people from Paraguay and Bolivia.

https://www.amren.com/features/2017/04/argentina-a-mirror-of-your-future-buenos-aires-latin-america/Mathematical PandeismI'm developing a kind of belief system of my own, that I currently label as "Mathematical Pandeism". I observe a kind of Cosmic Order that defines the absolute truth, with the Universe being structured around it. It manifests through mathematics, and from that it trickles down to physics, chemistry, biology and sociology in that order. And these fields are not only influenced by the one that came immediately before, but by all the ones that preceded it individually. For example, Biology is not only influenced by Chemistry directly, but also by Physics (Anatomy) and Mathematics (Darwinism, Game Theory). The Cosmic Order is largely charecterized as "God" by monotheistic religions, but I don't feel the need to anthropomorphise the concept like they do. The Cosmic Order is the rules by which the Universe is governed, and everything that exists and happens is a direct manifestation of it.
Mathematical Pandeism sees morality as objective, being a tool that helps societies Darwinistically outcompete others and progress themselves, by acting in accordance with what is mathematically the most advantageous. Morality is a behavioral system universally selected across all social animals, from ants and bees, to wolves, to humans, a natural manifestation of Game Theory. Morality can be analysed objectively by studying the outcomes of different moral systems in the groups that follow them. Cultures, religions and ideologies are nothing more than memetic human "softwares" that serve as behavioral hypotheses, that can be proven or disproven by the observable reaction from the ultimate objective purviewer, Natural Selection.

I am more interested in cultural history (their technology, art, architecture, food, etc.) rather than strictly political. Also, the history of Christianity.

The Science and Literature boards all have a wiki, but this surprisingly lacks one.No titleWhy do you guys love historyLelouch TheoryHear me out: maybe the world needs more existential conflicts, the likes of which we saw on the Eastern Front in WWII, to intermittently shake things up and clear the slate for long periods of peace and prosperity driven by Keynesian economics.
First, let's consider the transformative impact that such extreme conflicts can have on societies. The Eastern Front was a crucible of destruction and chaos, but it also set the stage for a complete overhaul of global economic and political structures. In its wake, Europe unified in ways never seen before, and the Marshall Plan sparked unprecedented economic growth and cooperation. It's as if the world needed to burn to ash before it could rise anew, stronger and more united.
There's something to be said for the creative destruction idea, where old, entrenched systems that stifle innovation and progress get wiped out, making way for fresh ideas and new ways of thinking. Could the horrors of war be a grotesque yet powerful catalyst for change? Look at how the post-war era, a time marked by Keynesian policies, resulted in three golden decades of growth and increased living standards for millions. A period of intense conflict preceded an era of peace and prosperity—are they two sides of the same coin?
Furthermore, let's not forget the psychological/political impact of total war. It forces nations to cooperate and communicate. The horrible consequences of warfare lead to cries of "never again," prompting international treaties, economic cooperation, and efforts to prevent future conflict. Just as the devastation of WWI birthed a failing League of Nations, the horrors of WWII carved out a relatively successful United Nations. Do we need occasional, massive upheavals to push humanity towards meaningful cooperation?
I'm not saying we should pursue war—no. The human cost is undeniably tragic. But given our history, maybe these dark times are an unfortunate necessity to keep the cycle of peace and innovation going. Thoughts?No titleCivilized society can not exist without one of these three.No title>When the Shah of Iran, Shah Abbas II arrived in India, he called the Indian Emperor, Aurangzeb "a blackamoor whose only reason for remaining in power was that the Persians had helped his grandfather against the hordes of Hindus and Afghans".

This region had a lush Mediterranean climate with forests and farmland, like having another Iberia across the sea. It was part of the Roman Empire for 500 years and a major part of their economy. It’s much closer to Western Europe than the Levant, which makes supply and logistics feasible and on the edge of the Islamic World, much harder for the Muslims to reinforce. Jerusalem was surrounded by powerful Muslim states on all sides with no direct resupply route. By contrast, North Africa is pretty isolated. There's only a narrow land route along the coast of Libya between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara. Block this and Muslims have no way of accessing the Maghreb by land and are forced to invade by sea. A strategic fleet between Malta and Tunisia could deny access to the entire Western Mediterranean. Meanwhile, Southern Europeans could easily flood and settle the Maghreb making it majority Latin. The Barbary states were a massive problem for Europe because of constant slave raids and piracy. The excess Muslim population could be gradually expelled like the Reconquista on foot to the East.No title>kills millions >gets away with it all >still has a cute daughteru >dies laughing This nika really is the GOAT...No titlewhat crime did Goebbels commit if he were to be present in Nuremberg trial? >Incite for violence yeah that is not a war crimeIslam : He is Allah, the One and Only>the Eternal, Absolute, upon which everything depends >He begetteth not, nor is He begotten >And there is none like unto Him

I feel like this narrative is becoming more common as the last of the WW2 generation die off.Why did the schism happen?Did the Orthodox chimp out when they couldn't get their way?Liberum VetoMany historians hold that the liberum veto was a major cause of the deterioration of the Commonwealth political system, particularly in the 18th century, when foreign powers bribed Sejm members to paralyze its proceedings, causing foreign occupation, dominance and manipulation of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and its eventual destruction in the partitions. Piotr Stefan Wandycz wrote that the "liberum veto had become the sinister symbol of old Polish anarchy". In the period of 1573–1763, about 150 sejms were held, about a third failing to pass any legislation, mostly because of the liberum veto. The expression Polish parliament in many European languages originated from the apparent paralysis.

According to Dylan, he had a profound religious experience where he felt the presence of Jesus physically in the room with him. This moment marked the beginning of his conversion to Christianity and led to his "born-again" period, during which he released three gospel albums: Slow Train Coming (1979) Saved (1980) Shot of Love (1981)

The Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, in which President Clinton was accused of inappropriate conduct with a White House intern, had less effect than Republican leaders hoped; it caused them to lose seats in the 1998 midterms, which is an unusual event (the party controlling the White House typically loses seats in midterms).
Nonetheless, Republicans were hopeful to regain the White House in 2000. The early front-runner in the race was Texas governor George W. Bush, the son of former President Bush. "Dubya" had been considered presidential timber since a meeting with ex-cabinet member George Schulz in early 1998. Among other GOP hopefuls, Dan Quayle, Elizabeth Dole, Lamar Alexander, and Bob Smith dropped out of the race before the primaries started for lack of funds or support. The pool of candidates who would actually contest the Republican primaries was whittled down to Bush, John McCain, Alan Keyes, Steve Forbes, Gary Bauer, and Orrin Hatch. Bush swept the opening Iowa caucus and looked to be the front runner as Hatch dropped out and endorsed him. By now McCain was the most serious remaining challenger and the other candidates abandoned their efforts. The Arizona Senator enjoyed a surprise victory in the New Hampshire primary but Bush beat him in South Carolina.No titleOn the left: A Scottish bubble brain who wants to restore her nation to a romanticized Catholic past that cannot be restored.

The Romans should have instituted settler colonialism all over their conquered territories, but they did almost nothing to actually demographically change other areas besides maybe Transalpine Gaul. North Africa, West Asia, Britain, Germania Inferior should have been Italic colonies. The people living in coastal MENA and most of Western Europe should be half Italic mutts, but they are just not..
Germanic and Slavic tribes actually changed the genes of the places they colonized, Greeks did too in Anatolia. Arabs introduced their DNA into North Africa, the Levant, other places. Han Chinese settlers genocided and replaced other Asians. Realistically all of Europe that was once Roman should be filled with ITALIC blood based on how long it was under Roman rule but it's almost nothing if not undetectable. Instead we got turned into half Greeks and Anatolian Greeks genetically and there's basically no Italic blood outside of Italy. Roman colonists made some towns and shitty isolated outposts but they never expanded long-term. It was a reverse colonization by Greeks and all those Roman colonists were so outnumbered they just disappeared without a genetic trace.
Embarrassing failure of an empire that didn't result in any demographic conquest. It makes me angry just thinking about it.Why did the name "Flavius" become so important after Flavius Constantinus?Because the Christianity was created by the flavian family AFTER the destruction of Jerusalem Flavius Theodosius, Flavius Theodoricus, Flavius Brlisarius, Flavius Zenon, Flavius Heraclius, Flavius Focas, Flavius Odoacer, Flavius Mauritius, Flavius Tiberius, etc.No titleWhy are Catholics obsessed with the Blessed Virgin Mary?

Murica is not a democratic system or even a good country at war.
But they are a absolute experts at soft power and manipulation. They managed to be among the most agressive and sometime barbaric nations of the past century, yet convinced most peoples in occident that they were the "good guys" whithout having to ressort to mass oppression and visible censorship. The efficiency of propaganda and manipulation will always scare me, you can really make someone think or do anything with enought time an preparation. Especially if the person don't care.
