Really?I thought they got it from the Magna Carta and nobles wanting more power?
Christopher Collins
Well, if you want to be technical, it was a process stretching from the Charter of Liberties at the end of the 11th century onward.
But the Dutch invasion was what broke the back of the monarchy and created mostly constitutional government.

The first two I listed are in large part wrong and everything else you posted is 100% bullshit.

Wehrmacht tanks weren't that great, especially early in the war when they had 20mm cannons at best, what set them apart was radios and air-ground coordination

Would survive, but losses would be bigger. Worst case scenario partisan combat would drag the war for years.

Joseph Wilson
No, it's time for you to start reading books.
Jacob Gray
Denying Norse influence on the British Isles is retarded though. There's still a shit ton of norse words in scots and english
Bentley Taylor
>"We totally are Nordic guys !" by John FitzFrench Saxonson Yeah, right.
>loanwords are a good way to determine cultural influence No they're not. At least not when they're used to name new concepts that didn't have a local translation, which is the case of almost all Nordic loanwords throughout Europe.
Charles Campbell
>At least not when they're used to name new concepts that didn't have a local translation Wow! Words such as Anger, Bairn (dialect, means child), birth, bull, dirt, fog, guest, etc! Truly these words are new concepts, and havn't been around for as long as there has been people (and male cows)
Hunter Myers
Not trying to resurrect the "clean Wehrmacht" BS, but weren't the SS a lot worse?
Connor Long
>Norse and Old English share several similar Proto-Germanic roots >This must mean these words came from Vikings Are you forgetting the Germanic migrations towards Britain on purpose ?
Carson Gutierrez
Except they didn't have similar proto-germanic roots, all the words I said come directly from the Norse in the 9th to 11th centuries.
Also, Egg and Knife. Lurk more before posting a retarded claim, Nigel.
Grayson Rogers
I can't comment on Kievan Rus, but you are pants on head retarded to deny the role Scandinavia played in the British isles. >Northern England essentially Anglo-Norse under the Danelaw, even after the reconquest under Wessex the Anglo-Norse lords were essentially left in place >part of Cnut's North Sea empire with Denmark and Norway >Dublin, modern capital of Ireland, originally a viking settlement Northern England remained under Anglo-Norse lords until William the Conqueror won in 1066, and even then they were good until they revolted and got BTFO in his Harrowing of the North.
Parker Ortiz
>Harrowing of the North Harrying* of the North
Adrian Cook
>and even then they were good until they revolted and got BTFO in his Harrowing of the North. Different guy here, I'm unfamiliar with this event, can you give me a TL;DR version or should I just go to wikipedia?
Austin Parker
Basically, William the Conqueror decided he had enough with northern lords getting uppity, so he just marched to the Midlands and Northumbria with his army and killed everyone. Not an exaggeration, btw : he actually did kill everyone.
Samuel Morris
holy shit
Thanks for the summary.
Jose Butler
>holy shit Yeah, that's kind of the reaction everyone had at the time. He organized the systematic extermination of everyone in these lands, to the point that they were still completely empty decades later and never fully recovered until the 16th century.
Jackson Nelson
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrying_of_the_North it's not a particularly long wikipedia article but long story short there was still a legitimate claimant to the English throne from the House of Wessex, and particularly in the North he got a ton of support, they revolted and William basically killed almost all the northern aristocracy and replaced them with loyal Normans. to say nothing of devastating the countryside
Zachary Reyes
Thanks you two. I never really understood William's nasty reputation, but this clarifies a lot.

True, but this don't say much.

>>Denmark, not Sweden, is the preeminent Scandinavian culture WELL.... Denmark and Sweden were both heavily influenced by German and French culture up to and including the 20th century. Denmark was the stronger power up till the 1600s, when they were supplanted by Sweden. But saying that either was the "preeminent" culture is inherently wrong. (That was Norway.)
Caleb Green

Christian Jenkins

Jaxson Morales
Citation/clarification needed. There were an awful lot of crusades, you know.
Levi Davis
American here. What is this obsession with being "the successor of Rome"? Italy is Rome. Byzantium was founded by Rome. Byzantium is dead. Rome is the past, though it's influence is forever. Pretending to be something you're not isn't going to make your country any better.
Adrian Martin
History cannot end. This doesn't make any sense, you nineties kid.

Ian Rodriguez
The lend lease aviation fuel, raw and processed materials, logistical vehicles (US trucks accounted for a significant portion of the Soviet Inventory), food, and various other goods were absolutely vital to the Soviet war effort. There is far more to war than how many tanks and guns you can build.
