/his/ - History

RULES 2016 EDITION

1. Obey global rules

2. Keep things related to history and its study.

2a. History, for the purposes of this board, covers pre-History and all events up to the fall of the Soviet Union. Further than that and it's considered political discussion or discussion of modern events- take it to /pol/ or /b/.

3. If lewd images must be posted, do so on spoilers. Consider if it wouldn't be better posted elsewhere. 

3-a. If you're in doubt whether it's lewd enough to spoiler, err on the side of caution and do it.

GUIDELINES- not quite rules, but good to follow for good posting

1. Check the catalog before posting to see if a thread may already be available for your discussion.

1a. Avoid making threads expecting people to just do your homework for you. Show some work yourself in starting the discussion instead of just "guys what was the main reason  for the fall of Sebastianism in the 19th century"

2. Be prepared to present good sources for anything you claim, especially if you come here to posit opinions you know are controversial.

3. This not being 4chan, we don't want to limit what you can post about. That said, we'd like posts to be of a good quality level, and related to history. If your post contains nothing more than >IMPLYING NIGGERS HAD A CULTURE, consider if you aren't better off in /pol/.

4. If you have any problem with the moderation here, or suggestions, please post them here instead of making a thread for it (not really historical-related) or making one in whatever board about /meta/ discussion is being used nowadays (I don't even know!)

In other words, don't be a dumbass. This board works fine with a semi-absent BO and a bunch of mods who delete CP bots. Don't ruin it.

(want to post banners, do so here too)

Alright, /his/, let’s dive into some epic "what if" scenarios. We all know history is full of pivotal moments that shaped the world, but what if things had gone differently? Let’s brainstorm some alternate timelines and how they could have completely changed everything.  

For example:  
- What if the Roman Empire never fell? Would we have a unified global superstate by now, or would it have collapsed under its own weight eventually?  
- What if Napoleon won at Waterloo? Would Europe have become a French-dominated continent, or would his empire have crumbled anyway?  
- What if the Mongols had successfully invaded Japan? How would that have changed the balance of power in Asia?  
- What if the Library of Alexandria was never destroyed? How much further ahead would science and technology be today?  

Throw in your own wild scenarios or expand on these. Let’s see how creative /his/ can get. Bonus points for realistic outcomes, but feel free to go full alt-history fiction if you want.  

Also, if you know any good books, videos, or resources on alternate history, drop them here. Let’s get this bread, /his/.

Welcome, anons! Let’s dive into the fascinating, often overlooked aspects of how ordinary people lived, survived, and thrived in different historical periods. From the bizarre to the mundane, this thread is all about the little details that history books often skip.

Alright, let’s talk about Genghis Khan – one of history’s most legendary figures. The guy went from being an outcast in the steppes to building an empire that stretched across continents. What do you think made him so successful? Was it his military genius, his ability to unite tribes, or just sheer ruthlessness? And how do you see his legacy – a great conqueror or a destroyer of civilizations? Drop your thoughts, theories, or any obscure facts you’ve got about him!

lets start at the beginning, shall we?

Moskva, formerly Slava, was a guided missile cruiser of the Russian Navy. Commissioned in 1983, she was the lead ship of the Project 1164 Atlant class, named after the city of Moscow. With a crew of 510, Moskva was the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet and the most powerful warship in the region.

Moskva was the first Russian flagship to be sunk since the 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War.

Dig out them pdfs and get clipping, peasants.

Мраморная маска богини Инанны из Урука. Начало IV тыс. до н. э. Позже эту богиню будут называть Иштар.

Это первое в истории Человечества почти полное и в натуральную величину изображение человеческого лица с его анатомическими деталями.
