Why was the confederacy so bad on the western front? They made blunder after blunder and won almost no battles
>>18731880>red river campaign + Fabian hit & run>preserving your troopsThe Confederacy should have done something similar to the Peninsular War and the Seminole War (a proto-Vietnam War), gaining early international support.
>>18731833Send glowslaves to do a little terrorism and bait the Union into invading Kentucky first. KY joining the Confederacy would have added a larger manpower pool than it lost during the war (KY was home to nearly a million free white citizens at the time), an additional industrial base to supplement Virginia, enabled the Confederacy to potentially strike towards the Great Lakes region, and cockblocked any attempt to invade the Deep South.
>>18734692>KY was home to nearly a million free white citizens at the timeThe key to decisive Confederate victory.
>>18731833Focused sea mines in the river, long-range artillery barrages on Union lines, and trench warfare built around Nashville.
If you think about it, winning at Baton Rouge would prevent Port Hudson from being the primary target and allow the CSS Arkansas to be sent to defend river checkpoint to Vicksburg, along with any cottonclads and timberclads.

But without a doubt North and Central Greeks looked unambiguously European.

>>18732736Sup retard. Albanians do not any kavkaz YDNA, how the only kavkaz dna in Albanian is maternal lineages from Circassian women at best. Albanians lack G and J2a, typical kavkaz lineages. These two lineages are more found in Serbs than Albanians, also Anatolian Turks. Roman records put a tribe of people called Serb in modern day Dagestan. Serbs have 4% their YDNA, J2b1, it is not J2b2-l283 which Albanians have, which is 20% of Albanian men. Albanians have 0% J2b1. Iranians have 5% J2b1 and 0% J2b2-l283. Albanians are native, Serbs are some weird Iranian tribe that started speaking Slavic and absorbed lots of male Slavic genes, then enslaved by Avar Turks that brought the to Europe. Btw Serbs have nearly 5% their YDNA central Asian Siberian lineages like N, Q and R1a-z93. Albanians 0%. BTFO
>>18735431Btw, y tree confirms last common ancestor of J2b1 and J2b2-l283 is 15,000 years ago. J2b1 found in Iran and Serbs, not found in gheg Albanians. J2b2-l283 found highly in Albanians, entirely absent in Iran and nearly absent in Serbs.
If I understand this correctly, a hypostasis is essentially a separate instantiation of a property or attribute that God has? Thus, the Logos is an instantiation of God's Intellect, the Holy Spirit an instantiation of his Love, the Father himself an instantiation of his Sovereignty or Unity or something of that sort. The hypostases may even instantiate properties of God in unique ways so that the Father is God's Wisdom as he who is Wise, the Son is instantiates Wisdom as the Wisdom of God, and the Holy Spirit instantiates Wisdom in its own unique respect so that, in each sense, all of them are Wisdom, but distinct instantiations of it. Hypostases are in some sense singular, but they're not concrete in the same respect as how instantiations of universals in the material cosmos are concrete, existing, substances, in their own rights i.e. particulars. Since the Hypostases are entirely immaterial, simple, and transcendent, and subsistent within one another and exist in an eternal act of mutual indwelling through communal and relational love or harmony (perichoresis). There, are, then, three subsistences within God but one substance, and the subsistences of the Godhead represent the personal identity of God as different identities that Yahweh has and reveals himself as to creation. It is true, however, that one of the Hypostases (the Logos or the Son) does instantiate itself, or rather within itself, a concrete nature which subsists in it (Jesus's human nature). Jesus's personal identity is identical with the second Hypostasis of the Godhead while the human nature subsists as a perfect copy, image, or instantiation of the second hypostasis of the Godhead.
>The Romance words for “war” — Italian guerra, Spanish guerra, Portuguese guerra, and French guerre — derive from the Germanic word, werra, which replaced the Latin bellum.

>>18735286>His father has a Gothic name though, you retard. All the chronicles called him a Goth, so leave it be and stop being such a damn cretin.>Being a Gothophobe is weird. Is your name fucking Honorius?I really shouldn't even reply to you, given your insults, your lack of manners, and your absurd conjectures ("Gothophobe").Don Pelayo died in the year 737, and for the next 150 years, there is not a single document stating that Fávila was his father. In historical research, that represents a massive gap. Ninth-century kings needed to present themselves to Europe as the legitimate heirs to the Visigothic Kingdom of Toledo. Claiming that their dynasty's founder (Pelayo) was merely an Asturian highlander would have diminished their prestige. Claiming he was the son of a Visigothic duke from the royal court, however, granted them the very legitimacy they sought.Furthermore, in the documents (and tombstones) from that era that have survived, the early Asturian rulers did not style themselves "Kings" in the Visigothic manner, but rather as "Princeps" (local chieftains or leaders). This was the same title used by the indigenous tribes of northern Spain during the Roman era to designate their native leaders. Those northern peoples had resisted the Romans and maintained a highly contentious relationship—marked by constant rebellion—with the Visigoths themselves. It defies logic that these highlanders would have blindly obeyed a foreign nobleman from Toledo. This is further corroborated by Arab sources, which explicitly state that Pelayo was "a man of the Asturian people" (al-ashturis)—a native highlander leader.

The last few months I have been studying Islam and I have come to the conclusion that Islam is a false religion. I tried my best to be objective and to read the Quran and to read about the life of Muhammad.Who is Jesus? – The Quran claims Jesus was born of a virgin but is not the son of God. It claims that Jesus is a mere messenger who predicted the coming of Ahmed (Muhammad). Jesus is reduced to being a miracle worker with no personality. No sermon on the mount, no beatitudes and no parables. It claims Jesus was not crucified and it only appeared to be so but no one really knows.The Quran was written approximately 550 years after the earliest gospel of Mark. Paul’s first letters, the earliest scripture in the New Testament, including 1 Thessalonians and Galatians, support the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Paul was also writing within a few decades of Jesus and knew Peter and James, the brother of Jesus.The problem for Islam is that the historical evidence supports Jesus’ crucifixion. The vast majority of scholars accept that Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate. Early Christians would also have had little reason to invent such a humiliating death for Jesus. Multiple non-Christian Roman and Jewish sources also refer to Jesus or his execution, including Tacitus and Josephus.Muhammad – I have respect for Muhammad and he clearly did some good, if we are to believe the accounts. His treatment of others in Medina, his concern for the poor and his devotion to standing against paganism and polytheism is to be respected. His farewell speech too, showed him to be a good man.For me, the biggest problem is that the Quran comes hundreds of years after Jesus but rejects one of the best established facts about his life. The Quran claims to be the truth, but on this important issue I do not believe the historical evidence supports it, therefore Islam is false.
>>18735291I'm neither muslim nor christian but who cares? The religion of the person who happens to be an earthly authority over you is irrelevant except for tax purposes (or if they start persecuting you). This is like saying "you're orthodox? but your boss is an atheist! checkmate!"
>>18735224>>18735291Mahmoud Ayoub a Muslim scholar basically argued that the Quran doesn’t necessarily say Jesus was never crucified or killed.His view was that Quran 4:157 is more about saying Jesus’ enemies didn’t really defeat him in the end. So Jesus could have been crucified and died, but they still didn’t ultimately win because God raised and vindicated him.He also pointed to verses like 3:55, 5:117 and 19:33 which seem to talk about Jesus dying.

That was accepted as a fact a few centuries after.
Basically everyone knows how afterlife works in Norse and Greek mythology, but why almost nobody ever talks about the concepts of afterlife in other pagan religions?
>>18734659Actually Odin was the chief god in antiquity as evidenced by Tacitus equating him with Mercury and saying "Mercury" was the chief god of the Germanic gods
>>18734861well guess what, juba II and germanic presence as bodyguards in rome predates tacitus. your comment only describes the germanics he knew of, which were the ones whom had contact with rome.
>>18734537I notice Ishida really loves drawing his characters with movie trailer faces and it's really weird when you notice it
>>18734537the jews hide the truth
>>18735377We have a lot of reasons to suggest Tacitus was referring to Odin when he claimed Mercury was the chief god of the Germanic peoples beyond the many similarities between the two gods.The 7th century monk Jonas of Bobbio also claimed that the Germanic peoples worshipped Mercury and even gave his Germanic name as Vodanus, which is clearly a latinization of Odin’s Old High German name Wōdan.The names of the days of the week in Germanic languages are derived from the Roman tradition of naming the gods after the seven classical planets. When the Germanic peoples adopted this system, they swapped the Roman gods with the Germanic gods they were equated with via Interpretatio romana and what do you know, Dies Mercurii (“Day of Mercury”) became Wednesday (“Odin’s day”).There was also a syncretic Romano-Germanic god worshipped along the Rhine called Mercury Hranno, the epithet Hranno likely being linked to Odin’s alias Hrani meaning “rough one”. In fact, we’ve found a lot of syncretic Romano-Germanic shrines along the Rhine dedicated to Mercury, far more so than any other Romano-Germanic god, which would only make sense if the Germanic god that Mercury was syncretized with was already widely worshipped in the region.
Why did white supremacy lose in the 1866 midterms? Most racist politicians were voted out of the house and state legislatures. Almost everyone who ran on granting full citizenship to blacks won their seat. You even had senators at the time saying they would allow unrestricted chinese immigration What explains why voters were suddenly in a brief egalitarian fervor?
>>18732717Nothing is more popular than winning a war, even if it's a civil war. And since Lincoln's party was still the face of victory rather than Johnson, the results were predictable. Even Robert E. Lee called on the South to ratify the Reconstruction amendments.

What went wrong?
>>18728755Zealand merchants stood for all of the investments into Brazil, but Holland held a hegemony over the Republic and only cared about their own colonies so Brazil got neglected.
>>18735344What colonies did they have anyway?I guess they had Sri Lanka and former portuguese territory in Indonesia, but besides that, what?
>>18735352Surinam and Brazil were Zealands, I believe all others were Hollands. The other 5 provinces didn't really bother with colonial ventures of their own.
>>18735359You forget about the Drenthe mars colony.
>>18728755It would be like South Africa. Suriname is predominantly Indian/South Asian like Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago because the British, who had taken over Dutch colonies, could no longer use African slave labor, which they themselves had abolished, and the British Raj was their largest colony (Bongs prioritize small places, which is why South Africa is 2.5% to 2.7% Indian).If there's one thing Brazilians love tho most, it's beef and rump steak. Same reason for not being Muslim because of cachaça (Brazilian rum).

Every street and house now rung with the noise of the combatants and the shrieks of distress; for the French soldiers, exasperated by long hardships, and prone like all soldiers to ferocity and violence during an assault, became frantic with fury, when, in one of the principal squares, they found several of their comrades who had been made prisoners, fastened upright, and living, but with their eyes bursted, their tongues torn out, and their other members mutilated and gashed. Those that beheld the sight spared none who fell in their way.It was in vain that Soult strove with all his power to stop the slaughter; it was in vain that hundreds of officers and soldiers opposed, at the risk of their lives, the vengeance of their comrades, and by their generous exertions rescued vast numbers that would otherwise have fallen victims to the anger and brutality of the moment. The frightful scene of rape, pillage, and murder, closed not for many hours, and what with those who fell in battle, those who were drowned, and those sacrificed to revenge, it is said that ten thousand Portuguese died in that unhappy day! The loss of the French did not exceed five hundred men.
