Welcome to /his/! I missed the comfy historical shitposting from wheelchan, so I figured I'd make it here. I assumed somebody already did or they went to the webring, but I guess not. Please use this thread to ask questions about moderation and general metafaggotry. I'll also pin some useful resources I may find and will update it. Generally speaking, as long as you post a thread in a historical context, it's all fair game. Alt-history discussion is also allowed. Contemporary events aren't allowed, however I'm still iffy on what the specific cut-off before something stops being on-topic. Currently, I'm deciding anything from 2020 hitherto, but that's subject to change. Lemme know what you anons think about it. Rules 1 - Global Rules apply (obviously). 2 - No Spam. 3 - Current Year events aren't allowed, go to >>>/pol/ if you want to discuss contemporary events. 4 - No discord links. 5 - Nudity is allowed, however try to keep on topic.

Andrew Jackson has always been one of my favorites, or at least, one I find particularly interesting. >Survived 103 duels >In one such duel, he got shot, and returned fire, killing his opponent instantly with a bullet to the heart >Fucking hated banks >Kicked injun savages out west via Trail of Tears >Beat the shit out of his would-be assassin with a cane to the point where a bunch of senators had to hold him back because he was "being too rough" >Receives 1400lbs of cheese as a gift >After his wife starts to complain about the smell, he invites the common man to come over and eat all this cheese >Gone within 2 hours >Supposedly his parrot had to be removed from his funeral because it swore too much Who are some historical figures you find to be awesome or even just interesting to read about?

Can we talk about how the spanish inquisition did nothing wrong and most of the black legend were protestant and french lies?

Why is Austria so fucking shit? like think about Austrias most famous accomplishment is inbreeding. All they did was marry themselves into a position of power and then kept that power by fucking their cousins. When it comes to military matters they were blown the fuck out by pretty much every other European nation. People talk about how italy was the only europeans to lose a war against africans. I am 100% certain that if austria had bothered to try and get african colonies they would have lost every single one of them instantly. I am just going to say it: the anschluss was not a bad idea, it was a great idea in fact. Austria should not be separate from the rest of germany.

Let's talk about history that could have been.

What do you guys think will the people of the future think of us? Do you think they'll be able to formulate a realistic depiction of our timeline?

There's a serious question because I'm trying to work in a work of fiction including native americans, but the thing is that there are no dictionaries, story books, mythology books nor any record of native american culture that isn't behind books that cost hundreds of dollars. They don't even have decent wikipedia pages when people already autistically wrote about the family tree of the greek gods. Do they actually have an history or culture? or is all of it lost because they couldn't even bother making drawings to record their history? I'm too autistic to make up names when there should be a base to use, but if it keeps going like that I might have to use made up names like Chunga Chunga Pulunga because the indians keep talking how rich is their culture and themselves don't know anything beyond casinos and elven larping.

Having read Marcus Auerlius' Meditations a couple of times already, I've become deeply enamored with stoic philosophy. Outside of Auerlius, are there any other stoic philosophers anons would recommend? Also, I guess this'll be a general philosophy thread. http://classics.mit.edu/Antoninus/meditations.html
