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.

I still don't understand how Slavs also come from the Steppe + EEF/WHG stock when they are so completely different in behavioral phenotype and looks than the rest of Europeans.

Yeah nothing in histry right...? You're so proud of your elementary tier school achivements, right? Arabs cunqered from Portugal to Khazakistan, created incredible works of architecture and geometry, incredible temple to God.

What have the Lebanese done in the last 1000 years?

>INB4 muh Phoenicians 3000 years ago mufucka
Yeah... They built some shitty boats and sailed in the Mediterranean lake, thanks to the gigantic cedar forests they happened to live in. Meanwhile Yemeni, Omani and other Arabs despite having much less natural resources sailed to Indonesia, China and East Africa, a much more perilious journey.

Before Greek influence in the 6th century BC the Lebanese just built mudbrick fences with some standing stones to sacrifice their children to demon, the Arabs built gigantic minarets and mosque complexes with beatiful glazed glass geoemtry that puts all those stone age tier shit to shame. Just shut up sucker, Arabs conquered your servile ass, you're lucky to be able to speak their language and follow their religion and THEIR rules, and that they didn't slaughter all of you child sacrificing Levantine abominations on the stop.

The weakness of France and the HRE in the 15th century gave temporary rise to Burgundy, situated between the two powers, and which was greatly influential in continental politics but lacked cohesion and fell almost as soon as it rose. The four great dukes of Burgundy, two Philips, John, and Charles, never achieved kinghood but their wealth and prestige for a time exceeded that of many monarchs. The ancient Duchy of Burgundy, centered around Dijon, was inherited by Philip the Hardy in 1361 and steadily expanded its borders. Philip remained one of the French "princes of the lilies" together with his brothers the Duke of Berry and the Duke of Anjou, but by allying with England in the Hundred Years War his son and grandson broke free of allegiance to the French crown. Philip's great-grandson Charles the Rash earned his name by overreaching himself in his attempt to outmaneuver his neighbors.

Their wealth came mostly from the prosperous towns of Belgium--Ypres, Ghent, Antwerp, Bruges, and Arras. The dukes of Burgundy had an itinerant court with no permanent capital city but outside the Hotel d'Artois in Paris and the ducal palace in Dijon they had residences in Lille, Bruges, Brussels, and Artois. The Burgundian court was one of the most magificent of the age and featured endless tournaments, feasting, spectacles, and processions. The dukes enthusiastically patronized the arts, including the sculptor Claus Sluter, painters Jan van Eyck and Roger van der Weyden, poets, musicians, romanciers, and tapissiers. They and their courtiers wore the finest and most elaborable outfits designed to impress and astonish. The dukes were masters of diplomacy and especially of strategic marriage.

You are a complete retard incapable of interpreting information correctly, I'm sorry to say. "Teutonen" do not even exist, the Teuton tribe was last heard of in the Cimbrian War, later usage of the term stems from confusion with the appearance of "Deutsch"(Thiudisk, Theodisc, Teutsch), with completely different etymology.
Bavarians are not Alemannic, but Bavarian, Alemannic, Hollandish(Low Frankish), Saxon and so on are all German.

Wrong. Old map of Sluis, near the Dutch/Flemish border from the 15th century. It very clearly referred to what we now call Dutch people, not German people. You are the retard who doesn't understand Teutonic = Diets = Dutch = Nederlands

We made up imaginary beings

Time to part with our imaginary friends, to separate fiction from reality, told from known, myths from life, fantasy from science. To reduce them as iconography, aesthetics. We don't have to reject them, simply acknowledge them for what they are, human nature. We can embrace the ideals engraved into them.

Average pajeet is malnourished af. Kerala has better food welfare. Meanwhile the western states and northern states have been subject to wars in the subcontinent way much more than others, so historically and genetically have been filled of martial castes that have ingrained hunting, cooking meat and fighting (exercise) as more or less caste tradition.

While in Eastern states, historically they have spent more time as slaves and subjects under foreign rule than independent kingdoms, so even though the meat and fish consumption is way higher in eastern India, they have your average medieval peasant/slave labour body i.e. lean, malnourished, short and lanky

Rome's OP, no fun in playing it.

why are they refusing to accept that they are not Europeans? From Italy to Russia, from Greece to Iceland, everyone see them as Africans. Their language more Arabic than Latin, their genes more African than European, their culture more southern than northern, the heritage more punic than Roman. There's not a single thing about Spain which could be claimed as being "European". They're an African people.

Easy in hindsight to shittalk Stalin but in reality could the USSR have survived without the rushed and brutal industrialization, especially with the Nazi invasion a decade later?
>>
>>16563653
Probably not. It’s unlikely that any other Soviet/Russian leader would have been able to wring out the sacrifices necessary to inflict the lion’s share of Wehrmacht casualties and to win the war. It’s certainly impossible to argue with Stalin’s 1931 declaration that they were 100 years behind the advanced economies and that they had to either make good that gap in 10 years or get crushed.
Even with Stalinism’s brutal emphasis on steel, iron, coal, tank and small arms production quotas and crudely hyperfocusing on all those sectors of heavy industry which make tankies hard, they STILL arguably didn’t industrialize/produce enough to compensate for their horrific wasteful 1941 losses and win the war without western lend lease.
Even though I’m 95% scornful of and despise authoritarian Communism, I still think it’s prudent to give full credit to Stalin for understanding exactly what needed to be done to save Russia/the Soviet Union. How ironic it is that Russia’s autistially cynical socio-political mindset was what allowed it to survive.

>BUH MUH LEND LEASE!
Lend lease indicates that unlike the axis powers, Stalin was smart enough to understand that he had to grit his teeth and form productive partnership with the Anglo-Saxons and americans in order to get gibs to survive. This was beyond the capabilities of the thought processes of Hitler and whatever pack of meatheads were sharing power within the Japanese “Government” on any given day. And just imagine how easy it would be for Mussolini to redeem himself by just fucking staying neutral, something Stalin was smart enough to do with the Japanese until he didn’t need to anymore

They are basically Superhumans. They were the most successful warrior class in all of human history. They are what Lefties portray Samurai as. Knights would have an olympic level proficiency in not just one martial skill, but many.
They are basically the Elite of Germanic warriors, who found themselves in control of new land and people, which allowed them to buy the best equipment there is.

Our entire society was oriented around this warrior class. They didn’t move to the large cities they conquered, they only got taxes from there, but lived in forts. This isn’t the normal way of doing things. Other societies didn’t do this.
