All the great libraries lost to history has always bummed me out. How much of the collective human knowledge has been sent down the memory hole?

t.amantes de tyrannis
100% accurate google translate latin
Nothing really.
It wasn't genocide you bigot, genocide is mass killing + institutional power
>>Belisarius failing to retain rome due to lack of proper support
Justinian was absolute shit
Nothing in history upsets me because being bothered by unchangeable things (like the past) is psychologically harmful

We can now replay time to ourselves so why shouldn't we know more about Christian (Christina) Weston Chandler.
Honestly what do you think would have happened if Caeser wasn't assassinated? I guess it was a shitty thing to do but I doubt he would have brought much good, he was just a conquerer
>That would be the almighy Aztecs
If the Azt*cs were so intelligent, why did almost every neighbouring city-state side with the Spanish invaders?
Btw did the scar that opened up where his dick used to be kill him yet?
Jealously of course, you Incan dog(who is almost as bad as a wh*te)
Excellent list OP, but couldn't we list any historical event and shack our head in disbelief?
Today we know better. We have a ridiculous amount of understanding, it reacquires hundreds of of specialties that take at least ten years to just glance at the knowledge.
We have no excuse anymore, but we are still human, more is the pitty
The term cognitive bias is only 50 years old
>fall of the ming
yeah it was a very shitty time to be alive and a lot of people died, but the Ming always sucked. Its a shame the Qing modeled themselves on the autocratic Mings and not on the Song.
>we know more about the Qing dynasty than all previous Chinese dynasties combined
>majorian getting killed before he revived the empire
Was it futile? He was campaigning pretty damn well keeping the barbarians in line, and tried to get reforms through (which admittedly lead to his death).

Good. KYS now.
It's sad that stupid epidemics didn't give Mezoamericans a chance to fight back (and they would've annihilated initial force, of course.)
>alexander not naming a successor, letting his empire break apart
Knowing Macedonian politics, that may have not made much difference. There were too many great generals, raised not like general-servants of the day but almost like warrior kings themselves. They were all potential successors in their own right. Alexander's word may have been respected posthumously but ultimately he knew what would most likely happen, so he just gave his prediction.

There's two things I hate in life. Communists and fascists, and communists are slightly above fascists on my hate scale. On an unrelated note, where's a drawfag that'll be willing to draw a happy pregnant Anastasia? Everyone loves Anne Frank, but personally I believe Anastasia is better.
This is an entirely different issue. Genghis Khan named his successor - and a strong one, too. Didn't matter. Same with Alexander. Even if he had a strong and talented successor, his realm would split along more or less the same borders.

How do you deal with so much feels, bros?
islam cutting off the near east and north africa from the european sphere
collapse of based HRE and rise of prussia
japan becoming militaristic shithole and leaving their comfy island in order to conquer asia while larping as western imperialists
massacre of novgorod and triumph of asiatic despotism over republic in russia
arabs conquering persia and appropriating their culture which now is associated with islam instead of with persians
Not Justinian's fault, blame the plague that wiped out 1/4 of the empire just as the west was being reclaimed
This, If the Romans and Sassanids weren't both exhausted by war and the Arabs had been contained the world would have been a far better place
>Defeat of Nazi Germany.
>bronze age collapse
redpill me on this
also you forgot the Sack of Constantinople
>texts from the antiquity are burned
>holy relics are melted down
>hundreds or possibly thousands of women, including nuns, were raped
>the bones of Constantine and Justinian were thrown out in the streets for the dogs
>a whore sat on the patriarchs throne in the Hagia Sophia singing for the looters
The bronze age collapse caused the collapse of pretty much every big civilisation in the near east except for Egypt
>Mycenean Greece, dead
>Minoans, dead
>Hittite empire, dead
etc
No one is sure what caused the collapse but the sea people invading had a lot to do with it.
Who are the sea people? God knows, but they plundered/raided from Argos to Memphis and then disappeared leaving the burning wrecks of several civilisations behind them
>county I live in is the lowest level
>both Mongol failures to invade Japan
why does an invader getting btfo bother you?
Fall of the third reich
>Mao wins civil war
nothing really bad about this, he fought much better than the GMD and Chiang did, and he was able to accomplish land reform in the process, something that had been the dream of Chinese revolutionaries for a century.
its only what comes later that's upsetting
>able to accomplish land reform in the process
*blocks your path*
>bronze age collapse
>redpill me on this
take an hour and watch this lecture, very informative
youtube.com
saved. Gonna watch it when i have time
as I said only what came later, the four pests campaign was a decade after mao won the civil war
Not until we get pregnant Rutka Laskier
The failure of capitalism and the failure of communism to take route
>>Fall of the Kalmar Union
Absolute not. It was unstable as hell with constant civil wars.
>upsetting
I'd call that a "minor understatement."
B-But what if Denmark wasn't corrupt? They could have saved the union
I still my believe my waifu is better, but I will admit Rutka is very beautiful. You have wonderful taste user.
>Kalmar Union
So that's how Denmark wound up with Greenland? I've wondered about that since I was a kid, but never bothered to follow up on because its fucking Greenland, a place only memorable as a viking troll.
Fucking little faggot. I'm going to kick him in the ribs.
Because then you'd bitch about how your All American Free Speech™ was being violating

No Greenland was a Norse colony, just as Iceland.

Mao didn't do purges.

Well, duh. Any mistakes and unsuccessful policies he implemented didn't have lasting negative effect. Most of his successful policies had radical and long lasting positive results.

This. Imagine a competent Italian military during WW2, they’d have reached Suez and taken Greece without tying up German forces set for Barbarossa.
>Mao didn't do purges
He instigated cultural revolution, which purged many of his rival.

Thanks to Zhou and Deng.
