Ask me your biggest civilization/ history related queysions

[Ilikewaterkusa]

I know about history and I’m bored. So just ask me all your questions.

 

[NotaNuffian]

Holy shit that face is scary for some reason.

Or am I high?

Anyway, can you answer when did the first noble/ king appear? Just the western side, I have no wish to know about the Qin thing in China.

 

[Daitengu]

Oh? Your theory on why an ancient Chinese king would be buried with a buttplug.

 

[Anon_Y_Mousse]

Were flintlock pistols ever available to regular civilians when they were first made(In regards to Europe, specifically in Germany or France)? If so, how much did they generally cost?

 

[Reborn_Cat]

Why does civilization exist, just to create an evil society to crush the dreams of innocent youths?

On a serious note, were there major problems when the industrial revolution hit the east

 

[Amok]

What interaction was there between the meso-american civilizations(Olmecs, Aztecs, Mayans etc.) and the people who dwelled on the continent north of them, if any? Was there trade, explorers, etc? (I know there may be no sources on this, just interesting to think about ig XD)

 

[Viator]

What is your favorite subject of french history? The Loudun possessions? The impotence trials? Going beyond that, what is your favorite piece of what you would consider strange history?

 

[Varstark]

What was Germania like during the height of the Roman Empire? Were there like, actual nation states with unified identities, or were they just a bunch of tribes telling the Romans to piss off? Somewhere in-between?

 

[Ilikewaterkusa]

It would be funny, and there was probably some weirdo that wanted to do that to one of the more bastardly and awful emperors

What was Germania like during the height of the Roman Empire? Were there like, actual nation states with unified identities, or were they just a bunch of tribes telling the Romans to piss off? Somewhere in-between?

Just a bunch of tribes, but sometimes they had federations of like 3-4 tribes

What is your favorite subject of french history? The Loudun possessions? The impotence trials? Going beyond that, what is your favorite piece of what you would consider strange history?

1. Roman era. 2-3 ???? 4. The fact that Jews survived like 6 thousand of persecution. Same goes for the Armenians which survived like 2k

Why does civilization exist, just to create an evil society to crush the dreams of innocent youths?

On a serious note, were there major problems when the industrial revolution hit the east

1. That’s how power works, evil people get attracted to it. And pose as being based and wholesome, and later on show their true colors.

2. yes. Opium wars, the question of traditional life vs modernization, Asians stealing western industrial jobs

Holy shit that face is scary for some reason.

3000 BCE between Summer and Egypt

Were flintlock pistols ever available to regular civilians when they were first made(In regards to Europe, specifically in Germany or France)? If so, how much did they generally cost?

Flintlock prototypes were being tested like somewhere around 1517~ But went onto the market about 1547~ . And even then they were pretty delicate and expensive so the average pleb couldn’t get it.

What interaction was there between the meso-american civilizations(Olmecs, Aztecs, Mayans etc.) and the people who dwelled on the continent north of them, if any? Was there trade, explorers, etc? (I know there may be no sources on this, just interesting to think about ig XD)

The meso-american dudes basically fought and had civilization rises and falls which generally came along with sexual trends, by that I mean the sexual drive of a nation, the more out there it is the more degenerate the nation is and the more unwilling people will be to protect it, and innovate. Also the Spanish freed peoples enslaved by the Aztecs. Native Americans and meso-Americans did have a writing system, but one may not really consider it a writing system due to the primitivity of it

Sounds more likely than the official reason of "keeping Qi in".

SO TRUE!

 

[Discount_Blade]

So that's why I'm waiting for Western Civilization to implode and restart? Makes sense.

 

[T.K._Paradox]

What do you think America would be like if we were a Hamiltonian Monarchy?

What we joined the Central Powers at the beginning of World War 1?

What if fighting a cold war against the Soviets we caved and became Tankies ourselves?

What if the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Austria-Hungary were still around today?

What if the third Reich fought to a stand still and Himmler was allowed to make Burgundy? (Assume that Himmler never got access to Nuclear Weapons.)

What if the Qing empire was still around?

What if the Balkans were unified?

If The USA government were to cave to Mormons and let them make Deseret?

What if the Vatican still rule Italy?

What if the French Revolution was crushed?

What America went Fascist and joined Hitler's conquest of Europe?

What if China never became Communist and Nationalist China won?

What if America was Balkanized?

What if the French settled most of America instead of the British?

 

[SailusGebel]

Why are we still alive?

 

[Ilikewaterkusa]

It definitely will. Hopefully it gets reborn like a Phoenix and degeneracy gone

1. The country would be a lot better, and better ran; democracy and liberal democracy has too much stupid assumptions. Democracy puts power in the hands of the people who are unknowingly beholden to a shadow oligarchy, who often times have ideals and desires that don’t align with the common people and state.
2. The Brits would get stomped, and America now has Canada a bit more
3. We would probably flip back to being a democracy after a while
4. PLC is plausible and would be in good health so as long it gives autonomy to the Ukrainians but A-H would probably just implode assuming that a god tier emperor or whatever fixed everything.
5. Literally TNO
6. Stronger China.
7. We would have some of the strongest Internet warriors.
8. Things would unironically be better with Mormon Deseret.
9. The pope would have more a stand in the cultural sphere and western culture would probably be more socially conservative
10. The world would be a hell of a lot better. See #1
11. Basically #2 but there is a three way Cold War between Japanese, Americans and Nazis
12. China would be a lot stronger, and better off, and would probably ally Russia in some autocratic block that goes against the liberal Democratic world
13. China would exploit this a lot, and things would be sh-t
14. The British would just take over, and if France somehow kept it the territories would be mainly underdeveloped, and may serve as a safe haven for the monarchists by the time the revolution would begin, assuming if it does

 

[T.K._Paradox]

Your opinions on how alt. History would have played out pleases me.

Here are more alt. History things:

What if the Ottomans were still around?

What if Barry Goldwater won the 1964 presidential election?

What if Oswald Mosley turns Britain fascist and Earl Browder turned America commie, assume both of these events happen around the same time.

What if the bay of pigs was successful and Castro was killed?

What if Augustus Pinochet's regime still was around?

What if Theodore Roosevelt won a third term?

What if Napoleon was successful in his conquest and wasn't defeated at Waterloo?

What if Trotsky won instead of Stalin?

What if Huey Long became president in 1932 and was the one that led to USA to victory instead of FDR?

What if Marx was right and the 'revolution' sprouted up in France via Syndicalists instead of Russian Communists?

What the Akusumite kingdom didn't fall to Islamic invaders and stayed Christian?

What if Japan never banned Christan missionaries during its civil war era?

What if Russians settled America instead of the British?

What if Julius Caeser was never killed?

What if H.P. Lovecraft became president and implemented his version of Fascism (Cosmicism)?

What if what if the USA was a theocratic state? Following either Mormonism, Catholicism, Protestantism, or Eastern Orthodox (Please give responses per religion stated, and how would it come to be that way).

 

[ConansWitchBaby]

What was it like being a merchant in the silk road? Did they make time to not be on it? Or was it literally their whole lives? How was the opposition to it if any at the beginning?

 

[Deleted member 70223]

You make a good point. And that explains why every degeneracy is promoted in the West and why porn is free.

However.

Ancient Rome was full of debauchery and they created a vast empire. WW2 Japan was full of sexual degeneracy and they made easy work of their Chinese neighbors who were under strict communist rule where male and female workers weren't even allowed to live in the same buildings.

Even at the height of Greek expansion there were openly gay generals and leaders who would be considered pedos by today's standards.

Good point but in case of Rome the still noble men did stuff right despite all the degen stupids, and they had a major technology and military advantage against all of their neighbors except per say the Persians. WW2 Japan also has this case major tech advantage, military advantage, and the chinese were kniving each others neck. And for the Greeks, Alexander and his father were just too good, ok.

What if what if the USA was a theocratic state? Following either Mormonism, Catholicism, Protestantism, or Eastern Orthodox (Please give responses per religion stated, and how would it come to be that way).

1. The Middle East would be more stable, and the Americans now have a new ally.
2. A better world, the complete cancellation of great society, the culture would be less degenerate, no break down of families due to welfare. perhaps a treading back on social security or a complete end to it, which would make families more intact. And the Hart–Celler wouldn’t pass, and America would be more demographically white/European and more culturally American.
3. WW2 would just be France/poland/Yugoslavia/ and commies vs the axis, and Britain. Axis victory in Europe and Asia, commie victory in Americas.
4. Not much, less Cubans in America. No Ted Cruz
5. Chinese ally in the Americas, not much
6.Race relations wouldn’t be set back 40-50 years by Wilson, who note also helped the KKK. Stronger America, and businesses would probably be kept in their place
7. After the death of Napoleon II, things begin declining and everything outside of France falls apart.
8. Axis and allies fight against the USSR, Trotsky was the type of dude to provoke and promote communist rebellions everywhere.
9. Businesses kept in place, and no intervention in WW2. Some National work projects and a very good cabinet. It should play out similarly to his book “My First Days in the White House”
10. A French Revolution style conflict, but instead of republicanism and Napoleon it’s just communism/socialism. Commies are beaten.
11. They would expand into Egypt, and be homies with the Byzantines, perhaps Byzantium survives and reintegrates the Mediterranean part of rome.
12. A daimayo converts to Christianity, and unites Japan due to religious zealotry, and European support.
13. Tsardom of Russian Alaska and the Soviet Union have a cold war.
14. He would invade Persia, and likely conquer a large chunk of it. After that he would have Augustus/Octavian rule the east, to get him experience and this would start the tradition of junior emperors much earlier.
15. Lovecraft ousted by McArthur lol / if not Cosmicism would basically become a religion and would quickly propagate itself to the war torn peoples of WW2 who then convert to the frame of thought.
16.
- Mormon, Increased population at the cost of incels murdering more people, due to polygamy. The world would be more suspicious of America. Things would be a lot more socially conservative, and anti-materialistic than OTL, also they are very into abstinence.

-Protestant, Stronger Liberty culture, stronger work ethic, scientifically more advanced, rationally would play more of a role in peoples lives, more socially degenerate. Basically worse than our timeline, since materialism would be bigger and more void consuming

- Catholic and Orthodox
Basically the same as the Mormons, but without polygamy.

What was it like being a merchant in the silk road? Did they make time to not be on it? Or was it literally their whole lives? How was the opposition to it if any at the beginning?

Due to the geo-political conflicts, customs people and other merchants often did not travel the whole of the Silk Road, they only traveled to nearby regions, which would then trade it along the road. This led to the price of goods being jacked up a lot. The Silk Road sucked a lot because of terrain, bandits, heat. Also people young as 12 travelled as merchants.

I am fascinated by the paradoxes and contradictions in the Tarot cards. For instance, the Hanged Man (Le Pendu) is generally shown as a man suspended upside down from a cross pole by his foot....
