Proties need to convert back to the true church, I agree.

the reformation

(((Age of Enlightenment)))

World War I was astonishingly stupid. I've read lengthy books about the supposed motivations behind the war from the perspectives of the national leaders at the time, and it simply doesn't make a lot of sense. It was some kind of continental suicide pact. Even today, Europeans refuse to provide reasonable explanations for why their ancestors destroyed the continent from 1914 to 1918.

This. A-H should have destroyed Serbia while their treaties only allowed allied nations to watch. Could have been over within the year. I mean, a Serb anarchist kills the heir to the throne and Germany attacks Russia. A (((suicide pact))) indeed.

The Holocaust

Barbarian's invasions against Roman's empire

Arrival of the Cro Magnons

But muh Platz an der Sonne.

The biggest mistake was german unification. We could have stayed a squabbling powder keg would have kept migrants out

Germany invading Russia. Which lead to the their demise. Seems like the Reich didn't learn from Napoleon.

Christianity

the most phony philosopher I've ever read.

Giving all this land to drunk cunts. How could Britain be so dumb and stay on their tiny fucking island? Top kek thanks lads

Not genociding shitskins when Europeans had the chance.

Axis powers losing.

Protestantism.

giving in to Jacobin demands and transforming monarchies into liberal democracies

They had no choise, either reich attacks or ussr attacks in no time

everybody feared Germany and wanted to fuck them over, basically

USSR invades the east. Now that's interesting to think about.

Unironically nationalism. It was a country-wrecking ideology that destroyed empires and ruined any chance of status quo for eternity. Small peoples of Europe don't have enough power and purpose to justify their self-determination.

The assumption was that the war was going to be over very quickly.
That's why they had such a cavalier attitude about the events leading up to the war.

Belfor declaration was a mistake - or was it, since it was concocted by disgusting slimey (((bongs)))

this

Winston Churchill. There I said it, go fuck yourself

Invasion of Russia.

yet universally praised in university campuses and by so called intellectuals

not genociding the other races

This. We could have completely cleansed Africa.

Commies planned to expand west since day 1 of russian revolution, acctually in 1920 they tryied to liberate west but polacks somehow beated them,

This. It went downhill from there.

>Commies

LMAO

>Creating European civilisation was downhill
Found the yid.

The day they forgot Montesquieu and support Rousseau's bullshittery.

Giving Germanic barbarians roman citizenship

What's your problem, mate? Rousseau is good

WW1 no question

Americuck can't deal with next rising superpower

The Protestant Reformation.

/thread

Freemasonry is the cancer destroying all values

WW2 or the UK not electing Mosley.

Charles Martel winning at Poitiers.

Europe should've submitted to Islam.

rome not shoahing the j*ws and g*rmans when they had the chance

Not killing every Jew that ever set foot there.

All the great powers thought they could beat each other within months, and then secure the colonial holdings of the other ones. They couldn't, and in the fighting they exhausted valuable resources that should have been used for expanding and keeping the colonies in check.

*losing America

Pretty sure that would be giving Jews a second chance

You posted it.
Rest in peace, Louis XVI.

Germany was a hub of art and technology before unification. Afterwards, it was simply a war machine.

Agreed.
People on Jow Forums especially don't really know what nationalism is and defend it. Nationalism isn't racism. It isn't wanting to live around only your people. Nationalism is wanting to live around all of "your people" and only "your people," as one single state.
This creates conflict when people can't agree on which group an area belongs to, especially if it's debatable what type of people those who live there are, or if multiple different types live there, as well as giving the state an easy way to ostracize anyone who doesn't agree with them. A Frenchman not supporting everything the French government does? He must hate all Frenchmen!
Democracy only exists because of Nationalism, as it's easy to accuse a monarchy of not "representing the people," which allows wealthy people who don't even need to reveal their faces to control the system with money.

Allowing the Russians to interfere with Imperial Japan in China (If that would prevent the Russo-Japanese war)

Allowing Imperial Japanese interference in China (beyond taking Taiwan)

Treaty of Versailles for an ez hit

Perfidious Albion bringing African slaves within proximity of America

Civil Rights Integration movement (pan-Eurosphere)

African Colonization (or the withdrawal from it)

One of those.

>implying the would've been able to defeat the Scythians or Sarmatians.

European civilization was already created, and it only expanded during the middle ages when philosophers took a break from abrahamist theology to go into science and philosophy. The Islamic golden age is the same, they only became impressive when they cared for more than theology and studied the European pagan philosophers.
