All of the electors were born protestants. The one who rebelled committed a pretty blatant power grab which started off the 30 Years War. He tried to oust the designated Emperor-to-be from Bohemia, thinking him too weak. Turned out not the case. He also was a Calvinist, which was not aligned with Lutheranism. Which is exactly why there was no massive support for him. The Lutherans wanted to curtail the power of the Emperor, not destroy him.

Have I claimed that anywhere?

Anyways, what you say is right, but the bohemian rebellion was just the beginning of the war and when I said the the initial act of conversion was dissidenz I was talking about the original converts in the 16th century. Saying that the protestants were "at worst neutral" to the emporer is understated since the tension between protestants and catholics and especially the tension between protestants and ferdinand II were growing rapidly. During the war this worsend, especially when Ferdinand overstept his own rights and acted more and more like an absolute monarch.

Are Arabs - not just some African ones, but in general - actually Afro-Arabs?

A lot of latinos are Euro-Amerindians, being a composite of these two distinct ancestries. I hear muslim slave trade was humongous (some Iraqi on /int/ claimed they castrated all the men and killed all the rape babies from slave women, but I doubt it, at least the later part) as well as there being a regular migration from Africa to Iraq and similar places during the Abbasid Caliphate - is it possible that a lot of traits that seem indigenous to the Middle Eastern Arabs are actually of subsaharan origin?

No but zionism has been around before the existance of Israel as an independent state. Jews have been emigrating to Israel since the early 20th and there have been violent clashes between Israelis and Palistinians in Palistine under British mandate.

Israel could have been a reason for Arabs to join the nazis despite not being a sovereign state.

So I recently picked up What Hath God Wrought by Daniel Walker Howe. Despite being American I feel like I'm pretty woefully uninformed regarding my own country's history so I've been wanting to read more.

The Jacksonian Era has always seemed interesting and this came off like a fairly comprehensive book on it so I read some reviews, noted that there's some anti-Jackson/pro-Clay and Whig bias but hey whatever I can deal with that. The problem is that I'm not even out of the first chapter and both it and the prologue have been a constant assault on how evil whites are for engaging in conquest of the noble and amazing Native Americans who were oh so complex and awesome. There's a tone of "we should still be flogging ourselves for the acts committed against the natives and blacks, the most evil acts man has ever done". It reads way more like a 700 page long tract on how much white people back then sucked.

And really looking around it seems like a lot of books that cover the 1800s and especially westard expansion have the same general tone. That's not to say I want the opposite, giant conservative screeds about how awesome America is and the glory of Manifest Destiny and fuck the redskins. And I know every writer will have their biases but I think it's possible to temper them: I'm reading Embracing Defeat at the same time and the author at least so far does a fairly good job of not allowing himself to make constant moral judgements about the American occupation forces or this or that.

So I guess are there any good books regarding American history, specifically the 1800s and maybe westward expansion, that are maybe a little more straightforward while not laying the anacrhonistic moral judgements on so thick? And I guess American History genearl, talk about American history and what not ITT.

I might have to pick it up some time.

And that's why I'm enjoying Empire of Liberty a lot too. Really informative on the time period and even though Wood is clearly more in the Republican/Jeffersonian camp I don't feel like he's ever outright telling you that only the Republicans were right; even when he sort of does it feels kind of soft and still leaves the reader with information to feel that the Federalist side had a better idea or really just draw their own conclusion. Also gets away from moralizing outside of a few random mentions (mainly when talking about voting/freedom) that "x amount of the population was still unable to" but never feels overbearing like I got right from the outset of What Hath God Wrought.

Speaking of that time period, I hadn't heard of James Wilkinson before and that's a shame. The guy should be seen as THE poster child in America of being a traitorous fuck. I get that Arnold's happened during a more "famous" time period but I'd argue that spending years as a paid agent of the Spanish crown to forment dissent in the western territories working against his own country for the benefits of a foreign power, and then later on being involved in Aaron Burr's conspiracy to take over part of Mexico as an independent government away from the U.S. should really shoot you to the top of the list of "Worst traitors in American history".

>It was bizarre considering that it had been almost 250 years since the last crusade of note and almost 300 years since Europe even gave a shit about crusading.

That's not exactly true. The 15th and 16th century was full of Crusader rhetoric in Europe with the escalation of the Ottoman-Hapsburg conflict. Several major diplomatic events regularly included clauses and plans for a major campaign against the Turks. And de Gama's career took off right after Spain finished the Reconquista and along with Portugal entertained a conquest of North Africa.


02ab9e No.24980

I'm not white myself (not black either, so take that as you will), but a lot of American historical readings seem to have this problem of applying modern values on really old issues. I get it, white people were pretty morally shitty, but I think it gets dwelled on way too often in historical writings nowadays, and it really doesn't serve to do much other than appeal to modern people's sympathies. It just seems like an underhanded tactic to keep people interesting in reading what would otherwise be a dry, objective history book, but I think those kinds of summaries can be interesting even without the theatrics or ethical dramatizations.

3cb6d2 No.23785

Trenches were certainly used in sieges, which is a clue to why they weren't used in the field. The Napoleonic battlefield, due to the scale of artillery deployed, was very focused on finding, engaging, and driving off the enemy from a position before their artillery could deploy and respond. Engagements tended to be climactic and decisive within a few hours of first contact as both sides deployed their armies out from headquarters before finding their target and attempting to pin them down or drive them off. Once an enemy dominated the battlefield with well positioned infantry and artillery, the outcome became questionable and many commanders did not risk further battle.

A siege is the opposite situation. One side is already fortified in an advantageous position and can fire their artillery on any advancing force at a moment's notice. But to subdue the enemy it must be encircled, and unless the army is in the millions this requires an army to approach the wall close enough to guard against sorties and resupply attempts while also remaining safe from enemy artillery and sniper fire.


9b61b3 No.23794

Without machine guns, a trench is just a ditch that you sit in. You can't fire by rank in a trench that quickly; and the other side might be planning on bringing it to a bayonet charge anyway.

Lack of required technology (including logistics, communication, artillery, and automatic weapons), as well as the sheer numbers - during the 12 or so years of the Napoleonic Wars, both sides (so most of Europe of that time) combined had about 17.000.000 soldiers, while during the four years of World War 1, Germany alone employed almost 13.000.000, and more than 60.000.000 soldiers were fielded by all conflict parties combined.

The KV-4 (Object 224) was a proposed Soviet heavy break-through tank, developed during World War II. Part of the Kliment Voroshilov tank design series, it never progressed past a series of feasibility studies.
