/history/
HELLO /history/
I'm the new board owner. And i'm a /pol/ack. I know this is basically a dead board, however, this board has great potential, so if anyone has any ideas on how I can advertise this board without getting banned for spam or off topic shit, please reply. Although I am a bit right wing myself, I encourage debate from both sides. Off-topic things and spam from the /intl/ goons will immediately get deleted.
Also, i needs some banners ( I have no fucking idea on how I can do those).
If you have any questions, please post. I haven't changed this board too much.
Discussion of current events CAN be welcome, but keep in mind, this is a history board. Try to keep discussions about history from the cold war on back.
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT ANTHROPOLOGY, SOCIAL SCIENCES, AND CULTURE ARE ALSO WELCOME
( Lets see if we can beat /his/ )
Slow board is slow. Advertise this, guys, I'd love a true history board if it can get more than one post a day.
Anyways, to start some discussion, I'm an amateur historian writing an alternate history of WWII. What, in your opinion, are the biggest potential turning points in the war? Examples would be Churchill never being elected, success of operation typhoon, Germans ignore Stalingrad, US carriers don't leave for training exercise and are sunk at PH.
Which is, in your humble opinion, the most influential empire in the history of mankind?
Historical Art
Is this board really dead? I was trying to find a board where I could discuss history with fellow /pol/acks since 4cuck's /his/ and this site's /his/ both seem to be liberal shitholes but there aren't really that much threads here. Could we perhaps get an art thread going? Photography is welcome too.
>there actual people that will defend the bomb of 2 major civilian city with a nuke.
Why history teacher are so misleading with their field?
judaic creation of christianity
Does anyone find it odd that the religion of Europe is in fact almost entirely a Semitic religion?
Europeans seem to be the only people whose religion is based on the family history of an entirely different, separate race of people. It would be like Nigerians studying the history of Ethiopia rather than their own history. (European history is told, but not at a young age and not deemed religious or spiritual. Europeans are taught as children the history of Jews like David and Goliath, but never ancient stories of their own homelands of Britain, etc.)
The common story is that Christianity was just so darn persuasive that millions of Europeans converted to it, which doesn't make sense because that has never happened before. Mass conversions have only happened as a side effect of conquest.
Given the assumption of secret Jewish power that I have just become aware of and many of us discuss on chans, it leads to an interesting possibility: Jewish influence was actually much greater throughout even ANCIENT history.
I have an alternative theory, which is that Christianity was spread concomitantly with the migration of Jews into Europe. Christianity was essentially a slave/peasant religion, similar to how the lower classes have their cults and gods in the Hindu caste system. It supplanted native religions because the Jews supplanted the upper classes of Europe, and the Jews preferred to have a slave religion based on their own religion. Perhaps they were even financially linked to one another.
It is a common idea that Christianity is a slave religion and I believe Nietzche explained it well in line with what I believe. One piece of evidence for this is the fact that Judaism is more ethno-centric, and essentially is a family line as well as being a religion. My addition to his theory is that it is NOT an accident that Christianity is a slave religion. It truly is because Christians are the slaves.
There is no reason for millions of Europeans to drop their native religions unless some kind of conquest occurred.
Religion and the civil war
Hey there guys I had a question perhaps you guys might be able to help me with.
I notice there were quite a lot of extremely religious men in the Civil War, particularly on the Confederacy. A very famous example would be General Stonewall Jackson.
Now what I want to know is, how can such religious people justify owning slaves/endorsing slavery and partaking in it? Doesn't that sort of go against the overall message of peace Jesus spoke of? How could so many of them claim god was on their side when they fought so hard to keep this practice going? Isn't it a contradiction?
I just wanted to get some feedback from you guys, hear your thoughts.
No Nuclear Pro Defense JAPAN
Japan must have strong defensive capabilities to defend the people
>“As the only nation in the world to have suffered a war-time nuclear attack, I have renewed my resolve to play a leading role in pursuing a world without nuclear weapons and maintain the three non-nuclear principles,” Abe said during a ceremony at Nagasaki Peace Park.
>The “three non-nuclear principles” are Japan's long-standing policy of not possessing or producing nuclear arms and not letting others bring them into the country.
>Representatives from 75 countries, including U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, were among those gathered at the ceremony, where a representative of Nagasaki bomb survivors told the crowd that security legislation introduced by Abe's government goes against the wishes of the survivors and "will lead to war."
>"We cannot accept this," 86-year-old Sumiteru Taniguchi said, after describing in graphic detail his traumatic injuries and how others died in the Aug. 9, 1945, attack on Nagasaki.
>As a bell tolled, they observed a minute of silence at 11:02 a.m., the time when the a U.S. B-29 plane dropped the atomic bomb, killing more than 70,000 people and helping to prompt Japan's World War II surrender. The first atomic bomb in Hiroshima three days earlier killed an estimated 140,000.
>Japan's defense minister triggered a new disagreement over controversial security legislation on Wednesday when he said the bills under consideration by parliament would not rule out the military transporting the nuclear weapons of foreign forces.
>Abe's cabinet adopted a resolution last year reinterpreting the pacifist constitution, drafted by Americans after World War II, to let Japan exercise collective self-defense, or defend an ally under attack.
>The unpopular bills have already passed the lower house, and Abe's ruling bloc has a majority in the upper house as well. But surveys show a majority of voters are opposed to what would be a significant shift in Japan's defense policy.
>Nagasaki Mayor Tomihisa Taue, addressing the same ceremony, noted the "widespread unease" about the legislation, which has passed the lower house of parliament and is now before the upper house.
>"I urge the government of Japan to listen to these voices of unease and concern," Taue said.
Abe protects his people while not allowing disarmament to weaken his proud country.
1920s Albania forum game

TL;DR: Country is very poor and backward but there's also tons of political intrigue going on, therefore it can be fun. Players can join as whatever: cabinet members, miscellaneous politicians of Muslim or Christian faith, army commanders, tribal chiefs, religious authorities, student radicals, etc.
To quote sign-in thread:
>There are no set rules or list of actions; a player sends a private message to the GM saying what he or she wishes to do that turn, and the GM makes a list of plausible outcomes and subjects them to a random number generator to see which one occurs. There is detailed information on the situation inside the country in various fields of life, from the condition of its armed forces to the state of its cultural facilities. Players will generally be briefed each turn as to how their actions went as well as the situation they are in (e.g. how soldiers under their command are doing, how their efforts to organize people in a region are progressing, and so on.)
Finnish anti-russian atrocities
What are some good books on the heinous treatment of POWs and murder of russians commited the "finns" when the Soviet Union tried to liberate funland/finnland?
i mean. the ONLY flaw with communism was its secularism,but, alas! finnland was already secular,so,they killed and fought in defense of capitalism,their war was one to keep their low-paid workers,to go on exacting their heinious methods
What do these runes mean?
What does this mean? We have this old sword laying about and we have no idea what these runes mean. They're on the blade, and it doesn't seem to be a bad sword.
I want to write a story involving the Kronstadt Sailors from 1917-1921. I know that, during the Civil War, they would have fought the Whites but has anyone got any names of battles they would have fought in? This would be a real help to me, if you have any links, that would be brilliant as well
