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 HRE was a Celto-Germanic Union, so it would've worked most splendidly, and the dukes didn't like the Parisians Sacrificed himself to himself to save humans from himself by using a forgiveness loophole in the rules he created.
This is how you know Christians are NPC's, because only someone with 0 IQ could believe in something so stupid. >the world is shit, because a family of retards couldn't just talk to each other, but instead had to chimp out and sacrifice millions, paving the way to fascism and communism and every single evil haunting the world today Historically speaking, who should control Alsace–Lorraine? midwit take
>america is comparable to late-republic rome

>america is comparable to pre revolutionary france I’m going to post this every day until you remember it Just learned that Europeans and The West are considered as Edomites, descendants of Esau. How do European Christians feel that they are the antagonists of Israelites? >Deny all reason and logic

>Scoff at all scientific proof that debunks their god
>Insists on believing a fairy tale with no evidence and wants to force you to believe it too
What do you call that but a parasite that seeks to infect and harm you? Even 1.5 millennium after. Other European empires, like the British or Spanish never had such admiration. And the Russian, Ottoman and Mongol empires are frankly despised. Why has Monica Lewinsky never been married? "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. 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?

>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.

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.

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?

No Abrahamic, Hindu, or Buddhism. If you don't actually know anything about obscure minor religions, don't post in this thread. 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 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. 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

It is great how in just 30 pages he destroyed all these hippie dominicans and franciscans 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? Imagine what the cucksaders were thinking when they heard he whooped Prester Khan's ass I am serious here. Why am I turned on by the concept of God so much? >"I the LORD do not change"

Who exactly was Luke written for? How's this not just mexico but bigger 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.

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? How the FUCK did they do it, bros? Reading espionage history is just a non-stop list of "he was a NKVD/KGB spy all along" and it's always in the most absurd places and situations.

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).
I’m almost certain this dude went to seminary just by the way he speaks. I can’t tell if he’s grifting or is somehow simply unable to see his own bias even after a lifetime of debating religion as a profession. related photo is basically a (supposed?) data collector, and according to their graphs
>Women promoted the conversion of Pagans to Christianity they also promoted the conversion of the Arian Barbarians to Catholicism.
>the majority of the Roman Catholic aristocracy were women
>and that women had a strong influence on the conversion of pagans
>and argues that paganism is a more patriarchal and masculine religion than Catholicism.
he shows this by showing that Catholics consider women and their mothers more than pagans based on burials and tributes and so on.
I hope there aren't any larpagan memes or anything like that. let's be mature my friends How did Japan end up losing its major influence on electronics/tech in to the turn of 21st century?
No notable Japanese smart phones
No notable Japanese social media /tech company
Other then Sony a legacy from 80s and golden age of Japanese electronics era how did Japan fall in the ranks and become over shadowed by China and South Korea ? Why the love for odd numbers ?
Isn’t even more divine since symmetry is a sign of beauty and even is symmetrical in nature How long do swastikas go back and what did they represent before Hitler took it over and why is it so hard to find information on them from the past? 
There's some things I'd love to do if I got access to a time machine in any capacity, for example
>Go back in time and blast Achilles Last Stand during the most brutal 10 minutes of the Trojan War
>Go back in time and blast the trap music remix of the battle of new orleans song
>Go back in time and find great great great grandfather, show him technology and maps, explain shit to him with my knowledge in history and medicine and shit, have him teach me how to shoot a gun or something as we make our way to Salt Lake City, potentially accidentally cause his conversion into Mormonism describing today as the biblical end times with wormwood being plastic, and R6W6R6 being referred to his actual name
>Go back in time and party with either Antonius or Elagabalus (now without the fear of HIV!)
>Go back in time and just visit Thebes
>Go back in time and bring guitar/harmonica and play it for people to the best of my ability
>Go back in time to the day of the yamnaya and try my best to communicate to them what their children, myself included, are destined for
>Go back in time and see solomon's temple

Is there such a thing as rape? >Someone once remarked to Stevenson, who had a reputation as a "pointhead" intellectual aloof from Main Street, "But Governor, you've got all of America's best and brightest behind you." 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
>they use 18th century concepts such as cranial measurements to determine race
>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?

>Takes control of the Socialist Party, and forces the Crypto-communists led by Chevènement and the liberal wing of the party led by Rocard to work together so they can chip out the center left and the communist party.
>Forces the communist party to agree to an alliance in the 70' thereby Neutralizing them

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

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.
