Was Caesar justified in his actions versus Gaul and then later the Senate of Rome?
>>3809295This is right
>>3812478Pretty sure if he lied about offering tribes clemency his soldiers and generals would've pointed that out at the time. He couldn't get away with lying about that, even if he wanted to.
>>3809331cannibalizing the senate and starting a welfare state isn't good either. Personally, I like how the war turned out.
What the fuck was his problem?

Why does Britain act like they were so relevant in colonisation of America, when French colonies were much larger, more US states are named in French and it was France who allied with USA in the war for independence and helped them win?Look at the comparison of French to British colonisation. Even Spain was probably more relevant as they were there first, more states are named in Spanish and the name America is of Spanish origins.
>>3808947>win a war >YEA BUT YOU DIDN'T WIN FAST ENOUGH Literally (you)
>>3808984>Napoleonic wars, 100 years war, seven years war>WWI and WWII >surrender to the Japs because they were the only relevant ally outside of Europe fighting the Japs >and they had to cross an ocean Why do you have such an inferiority complex? It's not you fault Britain cucked your favorite nation dozens of times
>>3808702largely because the british were the most extensive colonisers and developed the most prosperous and successful colonies, most of that vast French area was empty space at the time they lost it to the british or sold it to the fledgling USA.and very very few of those French colonies shown on that map were extensive settlements, whereas the british territories included dozens of settlements as large or larger that are not shown.>>3808702>more states are named in Spanish and the name America is of Spanish origins.mostly those states taken from mexico and again they were largely empty.also amerigo was Italian as was colombus and even then amerigos claim is patchy Richard Amerike is as likely a candidatesimply put the English colonised north America, the French set up a few trading posts.

Do blue eyes have some evolutionary purpose?
>>3810965lol butthurt
>>3809219what part of low light don't you understand dumbass?
>>3811795Light only enters through your pupils, which are fully dilated in low light regardless of race, making the amount of pigment in the iris irrelevant.
>>3810420The best part is that blue eyes were more common in Europe before pale skin was.
>>3811828I wish I could articulate what I'm thinking here properly, but isn't colour itself a result of the level of light absorbtion an object has? i.e., the sea is blue because it absorbs all other forms of light?So hypothetically, the darker the eye, the more light is absorbed; and thusly the less light there is available to reflect into the eye, which would make them better at seeing contrasts.Isn't there some kind of advantage to not having light reflecting from the coloured part of your eye directly next to the light-absorbing irses? I don't know how light and colour works, I'm just rambling here.

>>3812212>>3812212>Chetniks literally fighting for Germany>they would have been a better ally for the British. Not sure if you missed WW2 but the allies were fine with siding with commies if it meant beating Germany
>>3812496But the thing is, they barely collabed with germany. Besides, after the war, Tito did a great job arming Syria, Libya and other Non-Aligned countries. IN the aftermath, the allies would have been better off with an authoritarian fascist regime such as the Serbian Chetniks.
You know that's not Goring right
>>3812511While the Chetniks had a strong russian bias .. Arming Libya etc didn't matter considering both sides were doing that anyway
>>3812095Strong PR skills and he knew how to make everyone happy.If I could go back in time and kill anyone, it would be Tudjman and Milosevic. Fascist fucks ruined the only functioning communist state in history
What would be different if he'd lived?
The Empire would've broken up a hundred years earlier than it did. Julian was a terrible emperor. As Caesar, he constantly lost Roman territory to the Franks and Goths, despite some early successes against the Alamanni. He ruined the Spanish, Italian, and Illyrican economies with his stupid civil war, and he was getting beaten by Constantius until he died of illness. After he became Emperor he continued to be an embarrassment, negotiating a treaty with the Goths that actually recognised Rome as occupying a subordinate position to them, and managed to piss off a lot of other Barbarian groups by giving the Goths preferential treatment. And then there as his Persian campaign, which was nothing more than a fatal exercise in vanity.The only reason Julian isn't considered to be a massive fuck up on the same level as Nero or Honorius is because enlightenment writers liked his anti-Christian stance.

What if Lenin hadn't died so soon?
>>3812428Lenin had some mighty clout within the European establishments, even while being a lowly dissident. He'd probably be able to forge a coalition real quickly.>>3810701One thing that can be said for sure: there would be no turmoil caused by his death and lack of institutions, all that mess with Trotsky and Stalin.>>3810710Stalin wasn't some kind of powerthirsty maniac. He was a classic authoritarian personality: demanded complete submission, completely submitted himself and respected hierarchy. Problem being, there was no hierarchy after Lenin died. If he didn't die so soon, he'd set up administrative rotation and competition properly, there would be no political crisis, Stalin and Trotsky would live happily in a gay marriage. Pretty much like in China.
>>3813194>Stalin wasn't some kind of powerthirsty maniac. He submitted himself to Lenin whom he admired. But I disagree. Give your arguments?
>>3810701The Socialist World Republic would have formed by 1950https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqr1BnpY628
>>3813200The whole topic is highly arbitrary, so there is not much point arguing over opinions.The situation after Lenin's illness and death was highly precarious, and Stalin didn't, in fact, had much choice in the matter, if you think about it. There was no legitimacy in the party. It was divided into three groups, and fractured even more. The fact that he managed to forge a solid hierarchy in this situation, without things going down, is no small feat indeed.

Why would Alexander return without conquering India? Why didn't Alexander continue onwards to India? He didn't even need his current Macedonian infantry he had plenty of mercenaries andrm reinforcements from Macedonia and Greece were on the way.
>>3810854He could have conquered the armies if India, but not the smell

>>3812044I'd actually like to know when India actually lost their toilets. During this time, they had toilets/sewers/etc
>>3811894> The Maurya gained power by taking over the now Indo-Greek states and amassing an army of > 600K to challenge Nanda.Trillions of billions of ktillions lolThe Nanda probably had about 100 000 in Total, the Maurya even less so.The numbers are greatly exaggerated.Also, the Greek army was actually armored unlike the basically naked Indian soldiery of the time.

What is the historical procress behind contemporary American police brutality? When did it start like this, or has it always been this way since colonial times? Regards, Europoor.
>>3813143none of those saw US Police as a whole turn into a quasi military with automatic rifles that can kick down your door, shoot your dog and taze your 70 old grandma because they made a mistake and get a slap on the wrist ,all thy while claiming they are not even legally bound to protect people's lives
>>3813159Post 9/11 cops sometimes literally go out better kitted out than fucking Delta Force, no joke.
>>3813124Extremely low requirements to join the police, its not uncommon for a robber to serve as an officer. There are aven several murderers and rapists. I dont remember his name but he told 2 girls to get in the car (they trusted him since he was a policeman) and then raped and killed them. (one of them probably survived, iam not realy sure)
>>3813173the North Hollywood shootout probably caused that actuallyIt's kind of a big revelation to consider when two guys with AK-47s can beat back and pacify an entire department.
>>3813180Was he the hapa guy?
Who was in wrong here?
>>3812993neither of them you /pol/ brainlet, please stop spouting dumb shit if you literally dont know anything about the subject
>>3813059I know for sure that Muslims were involved one way or another. Sri Lanka has Muslims, pretty sure of that.
>>3813073>>3812993The civil conflict in Sri Lanka is related to (mostly) Hindu Tamils and (mostly) Buddhist Sinhalas. There are some Christians on both sides (who may have partial European ancestry). And there are occasionally Buddhist Tamils or Hindu Sinhala, but they face pressures on both sides for obvious reasons.A small minority of Muslims exists, and they are mostly on the eastern shores. Most are Tamil in ethnic background. Worth noting that the Tamil Tigers and other Tamil terrorist groups expelled and harassed both Muslims and Buddhists.The problem is that although a Tamils are an 'indigenous' minority, the Portuguese, Dutch and Brits also brought in Indian Tamils as cheap (tea plantation) labour. When Ceylon became independent, Tamils wanted more autonomy. I'm from Toronto, which has the most Tamils outside Asia. The Tamil Tigers are terrorists and it's a good thing they were finally defeated. They spent as much if not more time torturing and assassinating their 'own people' and infighting with various other Tamil liberation groups as they did fighting the Sri Lankan state. And eventually the Sri Lankan state BTFO of them. Tamil Tigers essentially hijacked, in a very bloody and violent way, the Tamil autonomy movement, and it brought their people nothing but more heat and repression from the Sri Lankan state.However, you're dealing with shitskins here, so it's not like any side 'plays fair'. The Sinhala majority, especially state forces, are a little ethnically chauvinist. Sri Lanka, while multi-ethnic, does put Buddhism first. Sri Lankan state forces have kidnapped, tortured, summarily executed innocent people (including women and children), raped, looted, etc.
>>3812993>everything shit that happens is connected to Muslims Maybe even your conception has a muslim involved,did your parents discuss that?
>>3813148Good information. Thanks.>>3813201Do yourself a favour and read my two previous posts. Nowhere did I claim or imply that Muslims were the bad side. I just wanted to know how they were involved.
