What are the favorite drinks of the other great empires? What did the Han drink?

I'm not sure if this or the "nobody could get to Sardinia before the age of sail" is dumber.

you know, pretending to be retarded once is funny, but it gets a bit old after that.

you should at least wait a few weeks before repeating a joke.

Yes, because a few hundred feet of dry stone wall is about the most exciting and spectacular thing south Africans where able to develop by themselves.

"Augustus = best emperor" is a babby opinion

>>2795286

Fun fact, I had a gym teacher in high school that looked 100% like Vespasian.

aztec, greeks, japanese, egyptians, etc. they all have gods of the sun, war, harvest, etc. all with out any contact with each other that could spread the religion.

christians pop up in the levant and spread. yet you never find christians already existing in a place that christians have first arrived in. there were no christian abos, or christian incans before contact with the West.


now many civilians without contact with each other, develop the same math and sciences. everyone agreed upon 1+1=2 with out having to share the idea around. you never see a new civilization being discovered that thinks 1+1=3.


so the aztecs, egyptians, and the japanese all agree there is a sun god before contact. then does't this make their similar religions more likely to be true?

*exhales weed*

This isn't /pol/, we know Hitler was a genocidal maniac

>>2794363
No.

there's no way to know those children didn't consent and it's safe to assume the Poles broke the NAP first when they answered fire

Move to Virginia since I am Virginian.
Sure I am likely to die of illness or starve to death, but the chance of building a nation greatly appeals to me.

>>2794261
I actually read a theory that despite the common belief of dying to illnesses, we would have a natural resistance to all of the diseases as we are descendants of people who lived trough them. It was pretty interesting but I'm not an expert on the topic so I don't know if it's true or not. So your sad time travel fantasy of dying to disease wouldn't necessarily come true.

Well, there are instances of burghers / merchant, who attained aristocratic rank thanks to the wealth they attained through trade. Such was a case of de la Pole family in 14th century England

By the late 15th munition plate armor was starting to become common. These were mass produced sets designed to counter the rise of the personal firearm and could be purchased by the average landsknecht. You still saw more expensive tailor made armors for nobility, commanders, or men-at-arms (whom was usually drawn from nobility) but mass production was starting to make plate far cheaper for the average mercenary band, so you saw a lot more people in plate as opposed to mail by the late 1400s and into the 1500s.

So yes, you would expect to see common mercenary bands in plate of varying degrees of quality by this era. It was still expensive, perhaps a month's wages or more even for cheap shit, but certainly doable. By the 1500's munition armor prices would collapse and become cheaper than mail at the bottom end.

>Are there instances of non-gentrymen, like burghers, somehow acquiring the capital to serve as fully armoured professional warriors alongside aristocracy?
Most of the Swiss army and the Swiss mercs serving in foreign services. Albeit thei used mostly 3/4 suits of armor.
In the 15th century they where one of the dominant military forces of Europe and steamrolled pretty much everybody else.

And i failed with spoilers.

Growing power of industrial interests after the Civil War started to get the US into the game of milking money out of poorfag countries.

There was a brief pause from the Great Depression to WW2, and then it came back with a vengeance.

>Why did USA become so imperialistic?
A combination of moneyed interests and a desire to build an "empire of freedom"

>Why did USA stop being isolationist and ''no goverment mentality''type?
Meme. Despite the rhetoric America was never isolationist nor had anarchist sympathies.

>What was the exact reason for USA invading Hawaii?
$$$

>>2794040
Because they were. There Persians had culture and treated their citizens well. The Spartans left babies they didn't think we're tough enough to fight in a forest to die. Also, despite being considered the fathers of democracy, they were also where the word tyrant comes from

They literally were
Reminder that literally no primary sources from actual Spartans exist

>>2794228
>they were also where the word tyrant comes from
nah man, Peisistratos was characterised as a tyrant back then, we used that word differently.
