What was the most audacious event in history?

A world-changing revolution that

– your supporters don’t believe can succeed

he’s wrong but the Bolsheviks did genuinely receive German money, that anti-Bolshevik charge was actually correct
that said the original guy is correct, even much of the Bolshevik higher ups didn’t plan on a revolution Lenin spent an entire night sperging his heart out and got everyone but Kamenev and Zinoviev to come around-
It wasn’t Germans.

Or do you mean he gave them money before the revolution

What Wall Street money?

Olaf Aschberg, who was personally rewarded Japan’s first recognition for a foreigner by the Emperor for financing Japan’s war against Imperial Russia, also funded the Judeo-Bolshevik insurrection. He, and his fellow bankers, later received favorable trading rates from said Judeo-Bolsheviks once the commies took over.

They can never untake the 70 years of workers’ liberation, the economic development created which brought the Slavs almost to parity with Western Europe for the first time in history, all the revolution exported, and all the happiness that people had for that time. It can’t untake the fear it instilled in the Western ruling class, which forced them to give the Western worker a dignified existence for most of the 20th Century. No event was of more positive significance for humanity, and we are still riding its wave. The only reason things are slowly getting crappier is because the USSR is gone, but the fact that there was even something worthwhile to lose in the first place is thanks to the Soviets.

Why is the Rubicon always depicted as a grand wide river with blue waters in artistic depictions when irl it’s a muddy creek that’s about 10ft wide around the location Caesar probably crossed it?
-
The real Rubicon makes for poor imagery.
-
It looks cool, and we should depict things to be cooler than they were
-
I dunno, I feel there’s more importance in something seemingly so small being such a gigantic step. It’s symbolic, y’know? It’s not about the breadth of the river or its aesthetic majesty, it’s about what it represents.
-
-
artistic license capturing the emotion and historical/cultural importance of a moment rather than the exact minuet details of what took place.

Modern rivers are culled and controled by man you scrotebrains.
Back in the day rivers were far wilder, wider, marshier, floodier and again, wider(the side shallow parts could extend way sideways).
Also, even if so, you are comparing the river in modern day to what it may have been 2000 freaking years ago lol

[…]
it’s not history, it’s art, look at it with an artist’s eyethe river ceases to merely be a river, it’s symbolic of the established world order. Making it large and like a powerful river thus depicts the world order as a strong, well-established system that cannot easily be trifled with.
Thus, Caesar crossing the rubicon no longer represents the actual point of him violating orders and entering Italy, but symbolically shows someone who does the unthinkable (crossing a big, wide river) but has the real strength and skill to manage it. caesar crossing the rubicon is made on the level of opposing or conquering nature itselfit’s very basic symbolism, but it’s effective
I don’t get the obsession with wanting to imagine it as "a big, wide river." There isn’t a single artist who depicts it like this, they all depict it as a the shallow river it is that even a child can walk through. Who cares that it was a little shallow creek? What difference does it make that the border was a little creek or a Roman road, or a line in the sand? There have been many famous literal line in the sand moments in history:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_in_the_sandAgain, no artist depicts the Crossing of the Rubicon as something more difficult that what a child could do walking across a shallow little creek, and who cares? It’s not that Caesar crossed a shallow little creek that is important, it’s that the ramifications of what crossing the border were, who cares what the border looked like, be it a little creek, or a Roman road, or a stone marker, or whatever
As for artistic imagery, you don’t have to make the the little creek look like the Mighty Mississippi to convey the power of the moment, you can do that in every stroke of the painting, even if it’s a little shallow creek like the paintings depict
-
sure, I’m not saying it was always or even usually depicted as a big massive river, only that within the piece it’s used as a symbol. it’s not historically accurate, and not even mississippi-tier since it’s still shallow, it’s just a symbol of something big and powerful, and crossing it serves as a metaphor that crossing the rubicon was tantamount to reshaping the world
in reality it was just a simple boundary designating peninsular italy, but you can play around with the images in art to best convey why the ‘spirit’ of the crossing was such a shift

Now that was a big step i tell you
It’s a lot worse than that. The river called Rubicon most likely isn’t the actual Rubicon that Caesar crossed. There’s always been a debate between this river and a nearby one. This one is far larger, and so Mussolini decided that it was the real Rubicon. But new documents found in the Vatican archives seem to suggest it’s actually the other one.
Pic related is what the actual, historical Rubicon looks like, upstream and in winter, as Caesar experienced it.Shut the fuck up Nerds
no one cares anyways -
>with blue waters when irl it’s a muddy creek
which is why the Latin name for the river, Rubico, comes from the adjective rubeus, meaning "red." The river was so named because its waters are colored red by iron deposits in the riverbed.>It could have possibly been bigger back then you know.
it was a minor river even during Roman times ("parvi Rubiconis ad undas" as Lucan said, "to the waves of [the] tiny Rubicon"). His full text was:
>Caesar had already overcome the freezing and huge Alps on his journey, and had formed in his mind the direction of the war to come, when he came to the waves of the small RubiconThe picture here is Caesar Crossing the Rubicon by Jean Fouquet (ca.1420–1481) – one of the most important painters from the period between the late Gothic and early Renaissance. He was the first French artist to travel to Italy and experience first-hand the early Italian Renaissance.
-
>"parvi Rubiconis"
In Latin, "parvi" is:
>1. Small, little, puny.
>2. Cheap, petty, trifling, ignorable, unimportant.Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (AD 39 to AD 65), known in English as Lucan, was one of the outstanding figures of the Imperial Latin period. One of his most famous works is De Bello Civili (On the Civil War), detailing the civil war between Julius Caesar and the Roman Senate. He was the grandson of Seneca the Elder and grew up under the tutelage of his uncle Seneca the Younger

It’s always amusing to me to see how completely inaccurate medieval era depictions of ancient Rome are. They unironically thought the Romans had full body plate armor.

>Caesar was explicitly ordered not to take his army across the Rubicon river, which was at that time the northern border of Italy proper (controlled directly by Rome and its allies)
>In January 49 BC, Caesar led a single legion, Legio XIII Gemina (the 13th Twin Legion), across the river, which the Roman government considered insurrection, treason, and a declaration of war on the Roman Senate.
>According to some authors, he is said to have uttered the phrase "alea iacta est"—the die is cast—as his army marched through the shallow river (The phrase, either in the original Latin or in translation, is used in many languages to indicate that events have passed a point of no return. The same event inspired another idiom with the same meaning, "crossing the Rubicon")
>Roman law specified that only the elected magistrates (consuls and praetors) could hold imperium within Italy. Any magistrate who entered Italy at the head of his troops forfeited his imperium and was therefore no longer legally allowed to command troops. Exercising imperium when forbidden by the law was a capital offense. Furthermore, obeying the commands of a general who did not legally possess imperium was a capital offense. If a general entered Italy in command of an army, both the general and his soldiers became outlaws and were automatically condemned to death.
>with this step, Caesar began the Roman Civil War (aka Caesar’s Civil War, which lasted 4 years, 2 months and 1 week and was fought in Italy, Illyria, Greece, Egypt, Africa, and Hispania)
>It ultimately led to Caesar’s becoming dictator and the rise of the imperial era of Rome.
>it directly lead to his assassination (44 BC), just five years after he crossed the Rubicon (49 BC). Caesar was stabbed 23 times by a group of Roman Senators defending the Roman Republic-
>Octavius (Caesar’s grand-nephew) was named in Caesar’s will as his adopted son and heir; as a result, he inherited Caesar’s name, estate, and the loyalty of his legions.
>Octavius would fight yet another civil war (culminating in the victory over Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, the Final War of the Roman Republic), ultimately resulting in the fall of the Roman Republic and the establishment of the Roman Empire
>Octavian pursued and defeated Mark Antony’s forces in Alexandria on in late 30 BC—after which Antony and Cleopatra committed suicide. Antony fell on his own sword and was taken by his soldiers back to Alexandria where he died in Cleopatra’s arms.
>Octavian ordered Caesarion, Julius Caesar’s son by Cleopatra, killed. Caesarion was the eldest son of Cleopatra and the only known biological son of Julius Caesar. Caesarion was also the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt, reigning with his mother Cleopatra from 44 BC until her death
>In 27 BC the Senate gave Octavian the new titles of Augustus ("the venerated" or "the illustrious one"). Augustus had all meaningful authority in Rome, reigning from 27 BC until his death in AD 14.
>upon his death, his stepson, Tiberius Caesar Augustus, became the second Roman emperor, reigning from AD 14 to 37.
>When Tiberius died, he was succeeded by his grand-nephew and adopted grandson Caligula (formally known as Gaius Caesar Augustus), the third Roman emperor, ruling from 37 to 41. Although Gaius was named after Gaius Julius Caesar, he acquired the nickname "Caligula"
>In early 41, Caligula was assassinated by officers of the Praetorian Guard, senators, and courtiers. The opportunity to restore the Roman Republic was thwarted, however. and Claudius Caesar Augustus became the fourth Roman emperor, ruling from AD 41 to 54.
>After his death at the age of 63, Nero, his grand-nephew and legally adopted step-son, succeeded him as the fifth emperor of Rome.-
Those are the only two people to have months named after them
The months of the Roman Calendar
>Jan – the Roman god Janus (one of Saturn’s moons is named Janus)
>Feb – Februa (the festival of Rome observed annually on February 15 to purify the city)
>March – the Roman god Mars (also the name of the planet Mars)
>April – Aphrodite (who the planet Venus is named for) or Aprilis (derived from aperio, aperire, apertus, a verb meaning "to open (bud)," because plants begin to grow in this month
>May – Roman goddess Maia (a star in Taurus the constellation is also named for Maia)
>June – he Roman goddess Juno (a NASA spacecraft orbiting Jupiter is also named Juno)The rest of the months were simply numbered; their original names in Latin meant the fifth (Quintilis), sixth (Sextilis), seventh (September), eighth (October), ninth (November), and tenth (December) month.
>44 BC – Quintilis was renamed July for Julius Caesar
>8 BC – Sextilis was renamed August in honor of the first Roman emperor, Augustus. -
another famous Augustus was General Augusto Pinochet, the dictator who ruled Chile with supreme power from 1973 to 1990
>General Augusto Pinochet rose from alférez (Second Lieutenant) in the infantry, to Commander-in-Chief of the Ejército de Chile (Chilean Army)the 1973 Chilean coup d’état
>General Pinochet had the presidential palace, La Moneda, shelled. President Salvador Allende, the 28th president of Chile, killed himself in the palace using an AK-47, but some forensics experts said they believed he was assassinated with a small-calibre weapon prior to the AK-47. Allende’s widow and family escaped to exile in Mexico, where they remained for 17 years>After his rise to power, General Pinochet persecuted leftists, socialists, and political critics, resulting in the executions of from 1,200 to 3,200 people, the internment of as many as 80,000 people, and the torture of tens of thousands. The new government rounded up thousands of people and held them in the national stadium, where many were killed. This was followed by brutal repression during Pinochet’s rule, during which approximately 3,000 people were killed, while more than 1,000 are still missing.
Relationship with the United Kingdom
>Pinochet’s controversial relationship with Margaret Thatcher led Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair to mock Thatcher’s Conservatives as "the party of Pinochet" in 1999In 2004, he was brought to trial on 300 criminal charges for numerous human rights violations as well as tax evasion and embezzlement. During while the trial was ongoine, he died of a heart attack. Massive spontaneous street demonstrations broke out throughout the country upon the news of his death. Francisco Cuadrado Prats—the grandson of Carlos Prats (a former Commander-in-Chief of the Army in the Allende government who was murdered by Pinochet’s secret police)—spat on the coffin, and was quickly surrounded by supporters of Pinochet, who kicked and insulted him.

>the 1973 Chilean coup d’état
two years before that saw the 1971 Ugandan coup d’état (Uganda was British from 1894-1962)
>president Apollo Milton Obote (2nd President of Uganda, 1966-1971) was deposed by the Ugandan military, led by general Idi Amin Dada Oumee, who rose from lieutenant to commander of the Uganda ArmyAmin’s rule (1971 to 1979) was characterised by rampant human rights abuses, including political repression, ethnic persecution and extrajudicial killings. Between 100,000 and 500,000 people were killed under his regime.
he ultimately fled to Saudi Arabia, where the Saudi royal family allowed him sanctuary. Amin lived for a number of years on the top two floors of the Novotel Hotel on Palestine Road in Jeddah. In the final years of his life, Amin reportedly ate a fruitarian diet. His daily consumption of oranges earned him the nickname "Dr. Jaffa" among Saudi Arabians. He died at the hospital in Jeddah on 16 August 2003. He was buried in Ruwais Cemetery in Jeddah in a simple grave, without any fanfare
United Kingdom
>After Amin’s death, David Owen, CH, PC, revealed that during his term as the British Foreign Secretary 1977 to 1979 (Boris Johnson was the British Foreign Secretary 2016-2018), he had proposed having Amin assassinated. He has defended this, arguing: "I’m not ashamed of considering it, because his regime goes down in the scale of Pol Pot as one of the worst of all African regimes" -

It is interesting that Caesar’s crossing of the Rubicon wasn’t even all that audacious, as General Sulla had just done that same thing not once, but twice right before Caesar did
Sulla was just slightly older than Caesar:
>Julius Caesar 100 BC-44 BC BC (age 55)
>Lucius Cornelius Sulla 138–78 BC (age 60)Sulla was a gifted and innovative Roman general and achieved numerous successes in wars against different opponents, both foreign and domestic. He started and won the first civil war in Roman history, to procure for himself political control that had been awarded to Gaius Marius
>Marius was a Roman general who held the office of consul an unprecedented seven times during his career (consul was the highest elected political office of the Roman Republic). For his victory over invading Germanic tribes in the Cimbrian War, Marius was dubbed "the third founder of Rome" (the first two being Romulus and Camillus)
The Cimbrian War (113–101 BC) was the first time since the wars with Carthage that Italia and Rome itself had been seriously threatened.not sure what the beef was between Sulla and Marius, but they were the leaders of the two factions fighting for control of Rome the whole time until Sulla was the one to emerge victorious
-
Sulla’s 1st March on Rome (Julius Caesar was age 12)
>88 BCE: Sulla marchs on Rome with 5 legions, the 1st in the history of Rome to seize power through force. He was the first Roman General that marched on his own city in the Roman Republic’s history. Sulla marched on Rome in an unprecedented act and defeated the defending forces in battle. This was an unprecedented event, as no general before him had ever crossed the city limits, the pomerium, with his armythen he took his legions to go fight the Greeks, and in his absence, Marius returned to Rome and re-took control of the city, declared Sulla’s reforms and laws invalid, and officially exiled him
Then after Sulla gets done beating the Greeks, he crosses the Adriatic with his legions and lands on the southern heel of Italy and fights his way up to re-take Rome
Sulla’s 2nd March on Rome (Julius Caesar was age 17-18)
>In Rome, the factions allied with Marius levied and prepared armies to stop Sulla and protect the Republican government. The war lasted 83- 82 BC with the final and decisive battle right at the gate of the city wall of Rome itself (the Battle of the Colline Gate: over 50,000 combatants lost their lives). The result was Sulla stood alone as the master of Rome. Marius committed suicide. His head was cut off and displayed in Rome. Some senators who had held command under Marius were killed by Sulla and some imprisoned.Sulla, Dictator of Rome (Julius Caesar was age 18-21)
>the Senate appointed Sulla dictator, with no limit set on his time in office. Sulla had total control of the city and Republic of Rome. This unusual appointment (used hitherto only in times of extreme danger to the city, such as during the War vs Carthage, and then only for 6-month periods) represented an exception to Rome’s policy of not giving total power to a single individual. Sulla can be seen as setting the precedent for Julius Caesar’s dictatorship, and for the eventual end of the Republic under Augustus-
Sulla steps down as Dictator and returns Rome to the Republic (when Julius Caesar was age 21)
>Sulla, true to his traditionalist sentiments, resigned his dictatorship in early 79, disbanded his legions, and re-established normal consular government. He dismissed his lictores and walked unguarded in the Forum. Julius Caesar later mocked Sulla for resigning the dictatorship.[73]
>As promised, when his tasks were complete, Sulla returned his powers and withdrew to his country villa with his family. Plutarch states in his Life of Sulla that he retired to a life spent in luxuries, and he "consorted with actresses, harpists, and theatrical people, drinking with them on couches all day long." Sulla remained out of the day-to-day political activities in Rome, intervening only a few times when his policies were involved.
>His public funeral in Rome (in the Forum, in the presence of the whole city) was on a scale unmatched until that of Augustus in AD 14. Sulla’s body was brought into the city on a golden bier, escorted by his veteran soldiers, and funeral orations were delivered by eminent RomansSulla is seen as having set the precedent for Caesar’s march on Rome and dictatorship. Cicero comments that Pompey once said, "If Sulla could, why can’t I?" Sulla’s example proved that it could be done, therefore inspiring others to attempt it; in this respect, he has been seen as a step in the Republic’s fall.
-
>then he took his legions to go fight the Greeks
this was the First Mithridatic War.(89–85 BC), a war challenging the Roman Republic’s expanding empire and rule over the Greek world. In this conflict, the Kingdom of Pontus and many Greek cities rebelling against Roman rule were led by Mithridates the Great, one of the Roman Republic’s most formidable and determined opponents. He was an effective, ambitious and ruthless ruler
the city-state of Athens was one of the ones in rebellion against their Roman overlords, so Sulla and his legions sieged Athens for five months, then, on the verge of being sacked, the Athenians sent a delegation to negotiate with Sulla. Instead of serious negotiations they expounded on the Glory of their city. Sulla sent them away saying: “I was sent to Athens, not to take lessons, but to reduce rebels to obedience.”
Then a midnight sack of Athens began. Blood was said to have literally flowed in the streets. Before leaving Athens, Sulla burned the port to the ground.
The siege of Athens was a long and brutal campaign, Sulla’s rough battle hardened legions, veterans of the Social War thoroughly devastated the city. Athens had chosen the wrong side in this struggle, portrayed as a war of Greek freedom against Roman domination.
It was punished severely, a show of vengeance that ensured Greece would remain docile

all of the following composed operas on Sulla ("Silla" in Italian):
>Handel (1713)
>Mozart (1772)
>Bach (1776)
>and several other famous opera composers at the time like Leonardo Vinci (1723) and Pasquale Anfossi (1774)the Enlightenment (c. 1601 – c. 1800)
>public concerts became increasingly popular and helped supplement performers’ and composers’ incomes. The concerts also helped them to reach a wider audience. Handel, for example, epitomized this with his highly public musical activities in London. He gained considerable fame there with performances of his operas and oratorios. The music of Haydn and Mozart, with their Viennese Classical styles, are usually regarded as being the most in line with the Enlightenment ideals
>German music, sponsored by the upper classes, came of age under composers Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791).

The Battle of Westerplatte was the first battle of the German invasion of Poland
>the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein fired the first shots of World War II when she bombarded the Polish base at Danzig’s Westerplatte in the early morning hours of 1 September 1939.
>Schleswig-Holstein fired the first salvo at at 04:48. A longer bombardment from the battleship, lasted from 07:40 to 08:55
>The ship was used as a training vessel for the majority of the war, and was sunk by British bombers in Gotenhafen in December 1944. >Schleswig-Holstein was subsequently salvaged and then beached for use by the Soviet Navy as a target. As of 1990, the ship’s bell was on display in the Bundeswehr Military History Museum in Dresden.-
>Westerplatte Monument, a 25 meter (82 ft) Monument to the Battle of Westerplatte constructed between 1964–1966 and consists of 236 granite blocks transported from the quarries in Strzegom and Borów and weighing 1,150 tons.
Each year, official state ceremonies to commemorate the outbreak of the Second World War take place at the foot of the monument and have been attended by prominent Polish and foreign dignitaries and heads of states.-

When forces led by Tariq ibn Ziyad (طارق بن زياد) disembarked in early 711 in Gibraltar…
>The name "Gibraltar" is the Spanish derivation of the Arabic name Jabal Ṭāriq (جبل طارق), meaning "mountain of Ṭāriq", which is named after him.
…to begin the Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula (711 to 718), the conquest that marks the westernmost expansion of Muslim rule into Europe…there is a legend that Ṭāriq ordered that the ships he arrived in be burnt, to prevent any cowardice or turning back-
False, muslim scrotebrain.
Tariq was paid by CountJulian, visigothic governor of Ceuta in order to fight with one of the sides of the visigothic civil war in Spain in that time.
That is why his small army of bereberes were allowed to enter in Spain. Once during a battle they betrayed the
visigoths and started to kill everyone in the back as treachorous rats you are. Kind Rodrigo died because of this, so Tariq had free way to go north helped by the garden gnomes who opened the gates of the cities (undefended because of the ciVil war)Why muslims like to lie so much?? Is becaUse of your lack of achiements? low IQ??
-
>Tariq ibn Ziyad fought a Visigoth army about three times bigger than his own, at the Battle of Guadalete in 712. He won a complete victory, in which the Visigoth king and much of the Visigoth nobility were slain. Tariq then proceeded to capture the Visigoth capital city of Toledo. Splitting his small army into smaller divisions, he then conducted a lightning campaign against the reeling Visigoths, and captured many of their major cities, such as Granada, Cordoba, and Guadalajara. Tariq then governed Hispania
Legend
>Among the legends which have accrued to the history of the battle, the most prominent is that of Count Julian, who, in revenge for the impregnation of his daughter Florinda (the later Cava Rumía or Doña Cava) by Roderic while the young woman was being raised at the palace school, supposedly lent Ṭāriq the necessary ships for launching an invasion-
Again lying. I have read arab and christian chronicles of the time. Just to show how you lie: Tariq NEVER governed Hispania since Hispania was never muslim (most of the territory was not conquered, just small castles and cities because they were undefended and mostly BecAUSe there was never a centralized rule of Hispania.
And
the legend talks about the daugther (and it is an hipotesis, not a legend) but REALitY is wha
t I told you about Julian hiring Tariq and his muslim army to help in thevisigothic war.The more I know muslim and
how you behave and thinkand manipulate the more I dislike you (me or any rational person)And whenever you write something put sources so we can know the name of the lier that wrote that bullshit

When the king of France was battling against Spain and he fell from his hirse and 3 Spanish soldiers saw some rich dressed man without knowing he was the king of France, so he was detained and later it was known who he was. He was taken to Madrid for several months.
BasTard napoleonic troops 400 yers later went to the little Village were Juan was born and destroyed his grave. Unmoral people were the napoleonic troops because of all the things they did.

As a spaniard myself, I think what Napoleon did with our kings was far more humiliating to us than what we did to Francis I of France. After all, Francis I didnt abdicate in favour of the emperor, and he even repudiated the treaty he had signos with us.

>Late that summer, having subdued two other tribes, he crossed into Britain, claiming that the Britons had aided one of his enemies the previous year-
>Had all the advantages over enemy
>Audacious
Only audacious thing he did there was crossing the channel with Roman ships. -
at first I thought the OP pic was general Varus crossing the Rhine
general Varus (Publius Quinctilius Varus) — 46 BC – AD 9), was a contemopary of Augustus
>Julius Caesar – 100 BC-44 BC (crossed Rubicon in 49 BC)
>Augustus Caesar – 63 BC- AD 14Augustus made Varus the first officially appointed Roman governor of the newly created Roman province of Germania in 7 AD. In 9 AD, Varus and his three legions
>Legio XVII ("Seventeenth Legion")
>Legio XVIII ("Eighteenth Legion")
>Legio XIX ("Nineteenth Legion")
were defeated by German war chief Hermann (Arminius) at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. After their destruction, the Romans never used these legion numbers (XVII, XVIII and XIX) again.Hermann’s victory at Teutoburg Forest was one of the most decisive battles in history, a turning point in world history, as it caused Roman Empire’s permanently withdrawal from Germania, and prevented the Romanization of Germanic peoples east of the Rhine. Rome chose no longer to rule in Germania east of the Rhine and the Romans made no further concerted efforts to conquer and permanently hold Germania beyond the Rhine
-
>this Statue of Liberty-like monument in Germany in honor of Hermann’s victory at Teutoburg Forest is the Hermannsdenkmal (German for "Hermann’s Monument"), built in the 1800s
>The statue faces west. This reflects the idea that Varus’ troops were coming from this direction. The statue’s left foot rests on a Roman Eagle, the standard of the Roman Legions. Next to it lies a fasces, the symbol of Roman authority and where the word "facism" comes from.
>The statue was made from around 200 copper plates riveted together and supported by an iron frame. The copper weighs an estimated 11.8 metric tons. The pedestal is made of local sandstone. The statue is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Germany with over 530,000 visitors a year.
>it is 115 km east of Dortmund, near Paderborn, although experts now consider it more likely that the battle took place 100 km to the north-west.(sidenote: General Varus was also known for how the historian Josephus chronicals the swift action of Varus against a messianic revolt in Judaea after the death of the Roman client king, Herod the Great, in 4 BC. After occupying Jerusalem, he crucified 2000 gnomish rebels)

>You do realize that Josephus is a fictional character and that his OLDEST manuscripts are dated to 11th century.
History major here, and I’ve never heard of anyone doubting Josephus, even textbooks I read by Ivy League professors which are dedicated to questioning historical accuracy use Josephus as one of the most reliable sources in history. I just spent some time google to see where you get these weird ideas that Josephus isn’t real, and I can’t find anything. Is this some Nazi /poo/ stormfront stuff that you like to spread around your fellow Nazis because Josephus recorded gnomish history?

"Nailing the theses to the church door’ sounds a hell of a lot more dramatic and aggressive than it actually was. He was a professor, and that was how the staff at his university published their articles for review. In the era before widespread printing there weren’t academic journals you could submit pieces to – and that was the best that they had. It wasn’t some defiant act against a tyrannical overlord, it was an academic publishing a piece of theoretical work that got blown wildly out of proportion (in a way he could never have foreseen and probably didn’t want) when it happened to coincide with the political and economic interests of the German nobility.

You see this guy, this motherfucker right here? He’s James Brooke. One day in the 19th century he and a few of his friends got bored, so they sold everything they owned, bought a clapped out – rotting – wreck of an old steam ship and started sailing east. When they arrived in Sarawak (modern Malaysia) they saw that the locals were completely under the thumb of the local pirates. They did not like this. So they spend the rest of their lives hunting pirates among the South East Asian islands, with Brooke being crowned as the Rajah of Sarawak, and the British Empire being forced to recognise his kingship, even one he refused the ‘offer’ to subsume his kingdom into the empire, instead spending decades improving Malaya himself, he’s still a national hero in modern day Malaysia

If you were an opponent of the Roman Empire, no event was more pivotal to your cause than Boudica of the Iceni’s insurrection in AD 60. The Iceni were a Celtic people who lived in North-East England. Camulodunum, their capital, was the capital of the Roman province of Britannia, and the Iceni were one of the most powerful Celtic tribes. When the Romans took over Britain in AD 43, they had the most formidable military force in the country, and they proceeded to increase in power. The Iceni, in reality, led the resistance to the Roman invasion of Britain in the early first century AD.
