/his/ - History

Oh God, couldn't listen to the whole thing, love Monty Python though

In the early years of the 16th century, to combat the rising tide of religious unorthodoxy, the Pope gave Cardinal Ximinez of Spain leave to move without let or hindrance throughout the land, in a reign of violence, terror and torture that makes a smashing film. This was the Spanish Inquisition…

NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION

My town in otago, new Zealand is named after him. Also that song got me through my high school history essay question about Charles I.

>settle and spread across both Americas for almost 13,000 years

>never get beyond stoneworking

>only started using bows and arrows sometime after 500 AD I think

Is this the famed "American" education?

>>20793

Is this kind of SJW shitlibism common here?

Pretty sure that the Indians started the violence.

>The Spanish and Portuguese were trying to establish empires and needed citizens for those empires, unlike the ramshackle colonies in north america that were mostly laborers and refugees who wanted an empty place to live and work.

This actually isn't the reason large portions of Peru, Mexico and Bolivia have native ancestry today - these areas are where the ancient civilisations of the Americas were located. Thus, they had much larger native populations even after the plague, and thus the Spanish ended up ruling over more people of native descent.

If you look at the parts of Latin America were there weren't any significant civilisations, such as Brazil, only 0.4% of the population is native.

But Peru is ~50% native today, and was the seat of the ancient Inca civilisation.

>>21955

The Incan civilization wasn't actually that ancient. It was a few centuries old at most.

I don't know much about the west but i'll bump for intrest

Cheers anon, that makes a lot of sense now

According to Wikipedia, Pheidippides' story is just a load of bullshit, and more specifically a confusing mix of anecdotes made up centuries after the fact, and supported by one single author. The source is worth what it's worth, but still…

running was a far more essential skill than we see today; an activity

What about his life?

>>21400

Quite an interesting life to be honest. From what I remember is that he was born as a serf in an incredibly poor family. He was illiterate and was not that smart altogether. Abruptly, he left his village to live in a monastery, perhaps having a spiritual awakening of sorts. He becomes famous as a wandering priest and miracle worker, soon being noticed by the upper-classes. After several years, he is tasked with curing the Tsar's son of [insert disease name here that means blood can not clot]. Rasputin healed him with the power of prayer (slow working aspirin) and then became an adviser to the Tsar. He radically believed that sex was the key to enlightenment and so, over the process of months, he had sex with most women of the court. The Tsar later put Rasputn and the Tsarina unofficially in charge of Russia while the Tsar went to war. This led to theories and suspicions by everyone but the Tsar that he was a manipulative man who was having sex with the Tsarina. People started labeling him the anti-Christ. He survived several assassination attempts through his life before finally being killed. Interesting man.

Quite a life.

I don't see what the french rev has to do with agincourt.

A "peasant" vanguard would not have been useful (I interpret peasant as not a man-at-arms, although some wealthy peasants could have been men-at-arms) They would have been routed more swiftly than the french men-at-arms were, and their retreat would have impeded a second wave.

A dismounted attack by the men at arms was probably the French's best option. Unfortunately for them, it was more difficult to traverse the muddy field than they thought, and the "archers" lapped around and flanked them. Archers is in quotes because "archer" was a pay catergory. Many of the men paid as archers would have carried things like bills or sword and shield instead.

Modern research has demolished the myth of Agincourt. Pay records show that the French and English numbers were about even. Modern tests, corroborated by period accounts, prove that longbows were not armor-piercing superweapons.

Anne Curry has written a lot on this.

Here's a link about how armies were raised at the time and why OP's assumptions about nobles and peasants are wrong.

>battle of agrincourt had no peasant vanguard because aristocrats did not want to arm them

I thought there was no peasant vanguard because who in their right mind would use fucking peasant vanguard?

>Hey my liege, let's save my money (or whatever reason) by not arming filthy peasants

>Hey my liege, let's not send peasants to die in mud

Which one is more sensible?

At the end of WWI two peoples - arabs and jews - claimed legitimacy, locked in bitter conflict over the same terrain. Then, on the eve of WWII, Britain issued a new statement of policy concerning Palestine. It represented plans for "the establishment within ten years of an independent(binational) Palestine State." The proposal was repudiated by both the arabs and jews and in limbo at the outbreak of WWII.

On May 14, 1948, the jews, under the leadership of David Ben Gurion proclaimed the establishment of the state of Israel. It represents, perhaps, the most decisive event in the entire history of Judaism.

>Messianic Age and Zionism

Jews believe that judaism has a particular role to play in the task of world redemption. Since ancient times, jewish tradition has asserted that a Messiah, will come to redeem humankind and establish Gods Kingdom on earth by ushering in an era of perfect peace. Their expectation of this is best expressed in the prayers they included for daily recitation in jewish worship:

Sound the great ram's horn to herald man's freedom;

Raise high the banner to gather all exiles…

Have mercy, O Lord, and return to Jerusalem, Your city…

Re-establish there the majesty of David, Your servant…

Hasten the advent of the Messianic redemption;

Each and every day we hope for Your deliverance.*

Thus one of the innermost strengths of Jewish survival is the belief in the vision of the Messianic age. It is a conviction about the future: the coming of the kingdom of god on earth; the restoration of the jews to their ancient homeland; aPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Well it does say in the Old testament/Torah that the Jews would return to Israel, I'm actually pretty surprised they actually did it considering everyone near them wants to fucking murder them.

mainly due to Israel's horrible treatment of the non-jewish Palestinians

It's at the very least obvious that it's not a K98.

If you compare the tips of the gun in the picture and the example of the K98, the latter doesn't have that little metal "spike" below the barrel and the part of the iron sights at the front (K98 is just a metal triangle) don't match.

>>21230

Well I guess you're right. Guess it's kind of pointless trying to identify the gun.

>>21201

A problem I have with this image is that it tries to compare SS combat uniforms to that of a death squad.

>>21200

Pre-1500's is just before gunpowder became a major arm.

I would honestly wager a smaller but newer nation, like the tuetons, for taking control. Seige tactics are nearly everything.

Seconding Ottomans and also the Mongols.

and by Tuetons I mean Teutonic order.

>Is our entire psych balanced around eating smaller fish, evading bigger fish, and procreating?

Well that's the fucking question isn't it?

I think so. Most humans are also able to genuinely care about their community and neighbors on some level or another. As individuals we can survive through violence and manipulation or through diplomacy and empathic communication, and I think our societies are the same way.

when in doubt, teach them about war and intrigue

>>20995

I'm no teacher, but maybe you could give it the Game of Thrones treatment. Instead of broad topics star with a single individual of importance, and move through his life as it connects with other people of interest.

>>21042

This would be cool if you could make it work. Maybe design the curriculum around a particular dynasty that had interactions with many historical figures and events.

>>21035

This too

Speaking of resources and material, I'm looking for images depicting the daily life of peasants during the High Middle Ages. Anyone know where I could find it?

I've met a few retards who paint any group of people they don't like as a hivemind driven by evil motives. There was one guy in particular, talking to him you would think that China's only purpose for existing, since its inception, was to prepare for and eventually declare war on the United States. I tried to point out that economic ties between the two countries and nuclear deterrence will probably overcome anything that would pull them towards war. Maybe a major diplomatic incident would do it, like some slapstick Adam Sandler movie where ISIS spikes Barack's coffee with laxatives, and all during trade negotiations with China Barack has to hold in his massive dump, like, sweating and gritting his teeth because he just has to shit that bad, and he almost makes it to the end without shitting himself, but when he gets up to run to the restroom he accidentally trips and falls, exploding diarrhea all over President Xi Jinping's wife and daughter who just happened to be standing there, and everybody just screams in abject horror the entire time.

But no, according to him, China will start a conventional war with the US, somehow neither side will ever use nukes, even as a last ditch measure, the US will win, communism falls off a cliff while screaming "NOOOOOOOO" and explodes in a fireball, US marine hero guy gets the girl, background changes to an American flag, you get an achievement for finishing the game (only a 4 hour campaign, 4.5 hours with DLC), roll credits.
