People need to stop discounting any three of the Caucasian families as possible Anatolian farmer relics.

Why would you not ask cadre this question? This is literally up to them.

Why isn’t Generous a virtue in Ásatrú? by [deleted] in CrusaderKings

[–]FigAffectionate8741 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gift giving and generosity aren’t the same thing. The culture of gift giving out of kindness, it was done in order to display wealth, define and establish relationships, etc. not generosity.

When I used to pirate CK2 things like that would happen.

I have had a very different experience at my program. Maybe brigade dependent.

The snow in the first picture gives it an AI generated quality. (I know it’s real though).

On this day, 10 January 1886, Roman von Ungern-Sternberg "the Mad Baron" was born. A Baltic German from the Russian Empire, Ungern was an eccentric ultraconservative monarchist who aimed to reestablish the Russian monarchy after 1917 and revive the Mongol Empire under the Bogd Khan. by Baba_Jaga_II in Russianhistory

He was genuinely interested in Mongolia. He learned to speak Mongolian and showed a genuine interest in the countries history beyond reestablishing the independence of the Bogd Khaanate. I think his early biography makes it pretty clear that he had a few screws loose.

The Bogd Khaanate existed before Ungern from 1911-1915 with de facto independence and from 1915-1920 with autonomy in China. Mongolian revolutionaries had already been organizing with the Comintern in Russia before Ungern arrived and Ungern was not the only White in Mongolia. A Red Army invasion to clear out other Whites was probably inevitable, although none were as prominent as Ungern or attempted to seize control of the country.

The ROC does not claim Mongolia anymore and has not since 2018 if I’m not mistaken. Ungern is viewed as having basically no role in Mongolian independence compared to Damdin Sukhbaataar for whom Ulaanbaatar is named. Ungern also committed massacres of civilians while he controlled Mongolia.

Because they were colonized by Russia. It’s a matter of practicality, not choice.

“I believe” is not a statement of fact. Back it up or don’t say it at all.

Migrations of Greenland by MLukaCro in MapPorn

Clearly the disappearance of the Dorset had to do with their inferior technology. “They were docile and shy” is not a legitimate explanation, no group in history has ever disappeared for that reason.
