>No The Pacific thread

Well, here it is.

The first episode was pretty sweet, and historically rather accurate with the weaponry etc.

I'm not sure how interesting it can be though, the Japs were somewhat incompetent compared to the Germans, and completely wasted their superior equipment (carries, larger guns, zeros, etc.) with silly mistakes. All in all they offered less resistance, though they were even bigger assholes (think we might catch a glimpse of Unit 731?).

>> No.24754 Ban Global Ban Ignore Report

How were they incompetent? Perhaps in terms of diplomacy, but they definitely dealt a major blow to the British when they took Singapore, and had the Americans not had sheer dumb luck at the Battle of Midway Australia would have fallen too. If anybody was incompetent, it was the Germans. They're the ones who botched the Battle of Britain with every possible advantage going for them.

>> No.24758 Ban Global Ban Ignore Report

Truth spoken. Japan dealt Britain its biggest military defeat in history. Even in the first episode of the show you see the Japanese flawlessly isolate the American Marines onto the island, cutting their supplies, all the while sinking 3 cruisers. So their infantry tactics were a bit more... liberal with human life. They could've performed a lot worse, and in many respects, I think the early days of the East Asian/Pacific War gives the best glimpse of two relatively equal competitors duking it out in the modern era.

>> No.24761 Ban Global Ban Ignore Report

Hanks and Spielberg wanted to do The Pacific before Band of Brothers. HBO is full of faggotry and the Airborne lobbied for Band of Brothers to be the first approved project. Spielberg actually walked off but was forced back by threats of a lawsuit.

If America lost at Midway they would've regrouped and relaunched from Hawaii or a recaptured Wake.

Also the Japanese were far superior to the Germans in terms of tactics and morale. Even at the end of the War there were stalwart Japanese officers and soldiers who held their position decades after the surrender. German forces surrendered a great deal of the time. The Japanese continued to-death struggle. Germany really only held out like that on the Eastern front against the Russian zerglings.

Opinion: Woodrow Wilson was the greatest president of the 20th century, and the most effective progressive president in our history.

Anti-trust legislation, reforming the banking, reforming the imperialist foreign policies of mckinley, roosevelt, and taft, pursuing peace but not being afraid of war, reforming the economy with the intention of making a fair playing field for small enterprises, a public education system with standardized levels of learning, etc.

Warren G. Harding was the greatest American president of the 20th Century because he did make the job as dull as dishwater. The President of the United States is not an elected king who should pantomime his best version of a 18th century monarch. In this federal nation state, his powers must be even more limited, because the presidency derives its legitimacy from the sovereign states that make up the federation, not the people of the nation.

>> No.24732 Ban Global Ban Ignore Report

Where did I say that somebody had to be a tyrant to be interesting? Thanks for strawmanning me, bro.

And Harding sucks because of his inefficiency, below-average intellect, disregard for long-term financial stability, inability to judge moral character, incapability of running a decent regime, as demonstrated by all the scandals and crooks that more or less ran Washington in Harding's day, and a general lack of any semblance of decent leadership. But odds are you knew all that and even recognize Harding as one of America's worst presidents, you just wanted to make a snide comment about the fact that I called him boring that you thought would invalidate my entire opinion.

Augustus technically ended the republic.... even tough he claimed to be protecting it. Caesar would've done it if they had given him the time, it was clear in his will that he wanted octavian to succeed him (wich he eventually did). In my view the republic ended when leadership over it became inheritable. But there are other ways to look at it.

You seem to forget the part when he refused to disband his army and marched on Rome. That's called a coup d'etat, since you clearly don't know anything about history.

As for whether or not he killed the republic, what exactly was the Roman definition of republic? Was it representative democracy, or just having someone in power that did what the people wanted? Don't apply modern ideas of republic to Roman ideas of republic, they're very different.

You can point out the corruption, absurdity, and downfalls of it, but you cannot deny that Athens practised the purest form of democracy in history.

The only people who could vote were adult males who had obtained citizen ship and had served in the military. Also, for most of their history, there were no property requirements. They were not elected, as in a republic, rather just showed up to the Acropolis when they felt like it. Just because suffrage was restricted to a small percentage of the population doesn't mean it's not a pure democracy.

Actually, that did happen, sort of.

I wouldn't say so, at least in an image form that would be uploaded here, because the world's history is all-encompassing, and it's sunjective to determine what was important (apart from the world wars and certain revolutions like the insustrial revolution)

I think its pretty universally agreed things like the bronze age and tahe advancement of agriculture were pretty damn crucial to human history.

Yes, but a timeline that only had things as important as that would be pretty general and useless, and as the previous poster said, you can't really get more specific without being quite biased. And arguably it's better to be entirely ignorant than to have a narrow world-view.

Alright /his/ I haz question.

i'm really interested in the transition of Western and Eastern Late-Classical culture into Medieval culture - I'm reading Boethius right now etc. etc. you know the drill.

I have found random references in my readings over the years to the "Roman Senate", as late as the Avignon Papacy. Now, naturally, this would have been purely a city council/ceremonial but it seems to have held a certain amoutn of power at various times (i.e. Avignon, they offered the Pope a place in the senate as a way of enticing him back to Rome). It also seems to have evolved continuously from the original Republican Senate since there are continuous references from before the fall of the Western Empire (duh) through to the writings of Pope Gregory and Boethius etc and, afaik, no Roman speaks of any "dissolution of the Senate" - which, one would think, they would have mentioned as an important historical event, even if it only had symbolic importance.

I know that the papacy basically tried to set itself up as the successor to the Empire. There may be some info if you follow that thread.
