Ok I'll start. The intervention of the US in 1917 in the great war hugely tipped the scales in the entente's favor. Leading to greater negotiating power at the Paris peace accords and the eventual brutal territory seizing and monetary stipulations on the central powers at the treaty of Versailles.

TLDR - It's our fault

ooh new channel

Yeah just saw it too

Soo essentially we caused WWII

IMPORTANT

Butterfly effect

The real question is , why did the (((international press))) want us in the war so bad?

They correctly assessed our warmaking ability?

why wouldn't it

war is money

among other things

I'm a proponent of the "muh lusitania" argument being insufficient

It's almost like after the central banks were established the US has been used as an attack dog in a series of proxy wars

Like aside from the Mexican telegram and the lusitania, what reason did we have to intervene?

videos like these are great for perspective

Yeah I love those time lapse map vids

You know Alexander had to do it to 'em.

Alexander was fantastic

Muh horse lanes

Though I would say that Ptolemy was ironically a better general and administrator.

I admittedly don't know as much as I should about Ptolemy

Pretty badass guy, my rational for him being better than alexander is thus. Alexander used his Macedonian army to beat all the occidental armies, then Ptolemy beat *that* army with Egyptian levy troops and some Macedonian Calvary.

the companions :)

He might not have been as much as a luminary but he held his territory for a lot longer and his dynasty lasted all the way to that thot Cleopatra.

right

Why is history so vast. so hard to learn it all

I guess you could apply that same thinking to a lot of figures. That the guy that beats the guy that was famous for beating other guys is dank.

Could spend a year on caesar in Gaul alone

For sure.

Caesar in Gaul is one of the earliest anti-insurgent manuals really.

F vercingetorix

Tfw the romans are balls deep in your territory and you call the other chieftains for help who could completely surround him with superior number but they say "nah"

Hell, I'd be scared to get on Rome's bad side too

Rome's early strategy is kind of like prison you know? You pick a fight with the biggest guy on the Mediterranean then no one wants to mess with you.

idk much about early republic

I mean in terms of them reking carthage over the punic wars

Hannibal did nothing wrong

he was a son of a bitch

Honestly he really didn't.

Gg scipio

He a good boi

tfw you rek a kid so hard it becomes part of your name

seriously, F Carthage

They got fucked so hard

Honestly any civilization that relies on mercenary armies that hard deserves destruction.

Hmm, I see that

Ironically as the romans would learn to their chagrin

Man, I can't wait to visit Rome again.

SPQR scrolled on everything in sight

That's amazing, I'd love to go one day

I'm lucky my parents brought me along to Italy back in the day

Saw Venice, Florence, Rome, Sorrento

It's really something else

I hate American cities now

Yeah, most inner cities are downright depressing nowadays. You know Detroit used to be called the Paris of America?

Which sounds absolutely retarded now

Almost sounds accurate tbh

given the state of Paris nowadays, lol

Yea, Paris is the Detroit of Europe now. 💩

rofl

Too true

Bismark, did nothing wrong? OR cucked the Kaiser a bit too much and lead to junker repression in the traditional power structures of the country?

@Attrition in the desert What do you know about the Congolese war? I was watching some video of it, and the squad tactics seem very undisciplined. I know most of the Europeans were mercenaries from Belgium and England. Do you know anything about the minimum requirements for a contract? It seems like they weren't too picky

From what I understand the European involvement was more of a loose coalition of private MCmercs under some African militia colonel. Kind of like the French foreign legion but with the added baggage of Belgium's history of doing nothing wrong in the congo

Lel

Right, I knew that, it's just that those mercs seemed especially incompetent

Mercenaries are usually a pretty retarded solution anyway

Clearly the best solution to insurrection in central Africa is a few good men in short shorts

That being said, King Leopold had a literal gold mine in the Congo for a while, if I was betting on any African country to rise up with the benefits of colonialism in the 19th century it would have been them or perhaps the ivory coast

I think Jarod Taylor actually talks about it in some interview I've seen

The Congo is a miserable place to live. After the benefits of European medicine were cut, it's no surprise to me that the people living there went back to barely being able to survive

It's truly staggering that a people living next to Arabs that had invented the wheel, could not even *adopt* the wheel until civilization was forced upon them

I have a short book on the history of Zanzibar that you might like

Nice, what's the title? I've been getting into the history of the Berber people lately and the bastion of civilization that north Africa used to be

I still maintain that St.Augustine was white

The History and Economics of Zanzibar or some shit

You ever hear about Mansa musa?

Berbers are a very interesting people

Yeah they are pretty white

I think they are descended from the original Phoenician peoples that mingled with the romans and just identify as "arab" on government surveys.

@Attrition in the desert what's Mansa Musa?

@Attrition in the desert @Louis Loire - NY that girl looks extremely African in that portrait

@John O - He was an African King that went on Hajj through parts of Europe and dispersed huge amounts of gold (Of which he had no idea the value of) and crashed the economy of several states along the way lol

She is African berbers are without a doubt Africans they were in northern Africa before most Arabs and blacks @John O -

They are white Genetics wise no other way to get blue eyes/ blond hair besides serious mutation

@Attrition in the desert Oh yeah, I've heard of him, but only throught the context of pro-white media. "The richest man in the history of the world was African".

I like how they will say "We can't actually measure his wealth" and "He was the richest man of all time" in the same paragraph.

What was your train of thought yesterday, though? Why did you bring him up?

We were talking about the ethnic multiplicity of North Africa, Mansa Musa is perhaps a perfect metaphor for the vast riches of an extremely wealthy region being in the hands of people too uncivilized to appreciate or capitalize on it.

If we think about North Africa during the time of the Punic wars or the Ptolemies or even When the Bishop of Alexandria ran everything as a quasi-roman theocracy it was pretty based. I think the region has potential to rise above the ooga booga and tap the vast resources of the dark continent.

With white people of course

I'm always suspicious of the veracity of the stories of the superiority of the white man and the savagery of the black man. The question here is, if they didn't recognize the value of gold, where did they get so much of it? They probably didn't trade it, which means they probably sunk huge amounts of man power into mines. Why would they do that if they thought it was worthless?

The reason I question these stories is because it's very important for us to stay grounded in reality. There's a reason why the Hoteps are laughed at by everyone, and it's not jealousy
