It's 1944, the Allies are ashore in Normandy and the Soviets are rolling the Axis back to its Operation Barbarossa starting point. The situation for Germany is getting desperate. You have the following goals>kill or remove Adolf Hitler from office>strip the Nazi Party of its power and arrest or liquidate its leadership>negotiate a peace with the Western Allies>win the war in the East>save Germany from utter destruction>don't dieHow do you go about it?
>>11583443this
>>11592367based
>>11583334Defect to the Western Allies
>>11583334I'd just shoot Hitler in the face and be done with it. Then I'd pray for my soul until my execution.
Give in to all Allied demands
Is Taiwan its own thing or are they just Chinese who don't want to be ruled by the CCP?
>>11601442The idea that Mainland Chinese are being oppressed by the CCP falls apart if you refuse to grant them the right to immigrate to Taiwan, become naturalized, and eventually be allowed to participate in liberal democracy. The narrative would switch to Chinese people being complicit in their own oppression and no amount of exposure to liberal democracy is going to convince them to break away from aligning with the interests of their authoritarian government.
>>11595143>they are taiwanese because they said soThey don't even say so, it's called the republic of China, not the republic of Taiwan, they use the flag of the chinese nationalists, speak chinese.The idea of taiwanese nationalism is a new concept.
>>11595341Yes, the 80 year exile is only temporary dude, this is the equivilant of a retarded portuguese imperialist claiming that Brazil's totally gonna be brought back into the fold in 1922.
>>11596204Chiang had to be held at fucking gunpoint actually bother with any form of unified front against the japanese.>if that's the mandate of the Heaven, then it sounds like it rewards the most despicable peopleA mandate is not inherently moral, or just, you fucking dullard.
>>11596204Based. Why waste your men when someone else is much more willing too?
What did mongols think of the jews?
>>11602392They forced muslims and jews to stop doing circumcision or some shit I'm pretty sure. They also didn't like their ritual slaughter and food opinions desu.
Why are anti-semites considered the bad guys? They unironically believed Jews secretly controlled the world and were evil so they believed they were fighting for a good cause. I'd be more worried about the ones who knew it was bullshit but went along with it anyway for personal gain. In fact that's probably what I'd do, just collect Jewish gold teeth then when the war starts to go south make an excuse to go to Spain then abscond to Argentina, seems like the übermensch move.
>>11602353your question is easily answered with the following analysis: every other video/book you see analyzing ancient or medieval battles, massacres and history in general you're presented with a distinct neutral narration of these events, but as soon anybody has to talk about WW2 every narration becomes editorialized in tone.
>>11602353Bc muh holohoax and Jewish control of finance and politicians since the fall of the Roman Empire
You wake up in the Umayyad Caliphate
>>11600939OK I PULL UP
>>11600939i put it to sleep
>>11600939>Immediately join the Abassids in their revolution>shout HEY WHERE DA ARAB WOMEN AT>kill a gazillion Arabs as payback for what they did to the Sassanids>Do Hajj to Mecca >Cover the entire city in my cum, harvested by my 12 yo third wife>cover myself in pig shit, sulfur and saltpeter, throw myself at the walls of Constantinople>explode, scaring the shit out of the indifdels into surrendering all their lands to the Caliph>go to heaven, meet Mohammed (pbuh) and finally see that he was actually a based black man, smoke hashish with him while reciting poetry>have sex with the 72 virginsNo idea what I'd do after I have fucked all of them and they are no longer virgins.
>>11601038Cringe >>11601086>>11601085>>11602014Retards
>>1160093995% of the people living in that place are fully Europeans that changed religion, many of them germanics (visigoths). You will probably never see the Emirs which by the way after Hacken II they looked like germans since their fathers mixed with visigots concubines for generations.
How distinct were the Franks from the Saxons? Genetically were they different from one another? How about culturally? They are perhaps the two most famous Germanic tribes that left the biggest legacy.
Why are there no Byzantine Empire kinos? Its history has loads of evens you could make into a movie.>Justinian I the Great's reign and restoration of the Roman Empire>Justinian II's entire life>Heraclius' wars against the Sassanid Persians and the Rashidun Caliphate Arabs>Basil II the Bulgar Slayer>The Alexiad>The Fourth Crusade>1453>Etc.
>>11598203But that's useful for their victim complex
>>11598121Cordoba, Baghdad and Kaiouran were comfier.But I guess it was good enough for european standards.
>>11598081The ertugrul and osman shows depict byzantine empire castles and stuff. Its pretty nice.
>>11596975well we had a few directors who could do it well, but they mostly depicted events from our history like time of troubles or mongol invasion. i don't think there is enough incentive to produce anything about other cultures(even the ones influential to us), although i hope it will change someday
>>11595300I watched this cartoon about Mehmet II and the events leading up to 1453 as a kid. It mostly covers events from the turkish/muslim POV. Can't say it gave a balanced picture of things, but it covered a lot of ground. Events like Varna, the building of the Rumelian Castle, Orhan making his cannons, the log bridge over Galata, and the death of Ulubatlı Hasan are all depicted.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVqXbCHp8n8
Is there any place left on Earth where your life would be in danger for insulting Christianity? "You can't find any because Christianity is a tolerant religion". No that's not why. Because as little as 100 years ago Christianity would've fucked you up for insulting it. The reason Christians don't do shit any more is because they've cucked. Every last one of them.
>>11602363No argument there, and I'm sick of it. I'll happily take the 19th century variety wherever I can find it.
>>11602363>as little as 100 years ago Christianity would've fucked you up for insulting itAtheism was already a fact in all urban centers in 1921. White people have fought for the right not to be oppressed by religion, anon.
>>11602394The strictures that Christ lays upon you are not oppressive unless you're a druggie or an alkie or a hopeless faggot, though.
>>11602400The bullshit that your religion wants to force on people are always oppressive, that's why people rejected it and reject it still. Deal with it.
>Hey guys can I have this huge chunk of Africa for my own humanitarian reasons How did European leaders fall for that shit
>>11602111Divying up colonies as whole or splitting them was always a shitty ordeal. Leopold got his colony because many of the powers also had a "we'll back you and you support our business interests" which he proceeded to break all of them.Also I think Belgium held onto it because they were kidna chained up to it because how a lot of the admin of the Free State were Belgian on top of the fact that he already put a lot of his money into Belgian infrastructure projects so Belgium in way was already tied to Congo regardless if it wanted to or not much to the political leaderships chagrin.
>>11601424I mean, there are a lot of Christians in Africa soMission partially accomplished
>>11602164Most of the spread of Christianity in Africa was done by Africans.
>>11602111They'll bicker about who gets what like they did with the rest of Africa
>>11602350and no one wanted a repeat of the Fashoda incident.
So you have this guy who you believe is God and his crucifixion and resurrection are the most important events in history to you, yet you didn't bother to remember what exact date this happened or even a year and pass it on to next generations? Are you kidding me?
Pretty sure catholics at least have an official date it happened on
>>11601192>>11601204I don't like where this is going.
>>11601445Y'all worship your Goddesses and Gods and we'll worship our Goddesses and Gods, thank you very much.
>>11601466Blessed Virgin Mary Magdalene
>>11601201...niggawatthere are people right now who will tell you, that even if Christianity was true they wouldn't believe itwhy would that be less true 2k years ago
lol
>>11602300They also used fake tanks.
>>11601822Mogged.
>>11602357I think that's a tank disguised to look like a truck. So it's not a fake tank, but a fake truck.
>>11602357but where does it pee
>>11602369I was roleplaying as a confused Axis intelligence operative. So there.
>Inspired to defend their country and pursue greater opportunity, African Americans have served in the U.S. military for generations. But instead of being treated as equal members of society upon their return from military service, thousands of Black veterans were accosted, attacked, or lynched between the end of the Civil War and the post-World War II era.>During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, white supremacy remained law and custom throughout the nation, and many whites feared that Black soldiers who had experienced the pride of military service would resist the disenfranchisement, segregation, and second-class citizenship that still characterized the African American experience. In August 1917, U.S. Senator James Vardaman of Mississippi warned that, once a Black soldier was allowed to see himself as an American hero, it would be “but a short step to the conclusion that his political rights must be respected.” Bringing Black soldiers home to the South with expectations of equality, he predicted, would “inevitably lead to disaster.”>For Senator Vardaman, Black soldiers’ potential as community leaders was terrifying, and the “disaster” would be a mass movement for African American rights. Indeed, many African American soldiers returned determined to fight for their own freedom and equality, and veterans like Hosea Williams and Medgar Evers played central roles in what became the civil rights movement. The effort to suppress that potential leadership made Black veterans targets, and many suffered brutal violence for protesting mistreatment or simply wearing their military uniforms. In August 1898, a Black Army private named James Neely was shot to death by a mob of white men in Hampton, Georgia, for protesting a white storekeeper’s refusal to serve him at the soda counter.
>>11602070The KKK shot the people at the vegas concert?
>>11602284What the fuck are you talking about, schizo?
>>11602311the post you replied to was replying to somebody claiming that the vegas shooting was "white terrorism"
>>11602321Well, it was deleted for whatever reason, and that post I replied to made absolutely no reference to that and was just asking in general "what the fuck is white terrorism"
>>11601319Look up Isaac Woodward.
If pagan converts to christianity were based then shouldn't we be all raised pagan so then we can convert to christianity and become just as based?
>>11602253That’s right
Russian, Japanese and German would be great too, but only if they are for children. Preferably things that are available on libgen.
>>11597219name some good ones, I just got one in English on /lit/ want at least French and Spanish.

>>11602359The video is from a channel I like called "Whatifaltist" that covers geopolitics, history, and alternative history. I basically copied his list onto here from his video to see what you guys would have to say on these books. I am interested in reading some of them myself, and want to know if it's worth it.
