Same for earlier Macedonian conquests. Their opposition was weakened and they had a brilliant general.

Religious zealotry and dehumanization of everyone that doesn't follow your cult is a hell of a drug, OP. It turns men into miniature avatars of war.

It helps that their """religion""" is pretty much tailor made for conquests.

The Roman Empire wasn't around to stop them anymore, and Christian kingdoms were often too divided amongst themselves to respond effectively.

It's funny and makes people mad, that's about all you need for anything to be popular on 4chan.

As you'll see, there's lots of really fancy stuff in there, almost none of which were ever out on a battlefield due to how important the wearers would have been.

Brown's The World of Late Antiquity, if you want a view that does not blame Christianity for every bad thing in the world.

>>3320701
>Brown's The World of Late Antiquity

I can second this, though I might perhaps suggest that you don't see the history of the period in such a sanitised, optimistic light. Brown has a vested interest in portraying Late Antiquity as a time of cultural flowering and religious outpouring while playing down the general breakdown of society and civilisation that occurred in the period.

It's pointless to talk about genocide before the 19th and 20th century nationalism and ideas about ethnicity

>Did the romans genocide the celts and gauls?
Yes

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast just had an episode on this titled The Celtic Holocaust, perhaps you'd like to feast your earholes on that.

This is literally why the US joined the war, what do you mean by "got away with it"?

They didn't grow up with it, so to them it all looks the same because they don't care about the tiny details used for distinction. Have you ever had a kid come up to you telling you about Minecraft, and all the different types of building materials, characters, and levels despite it all looking the same to you? It's like that.

One day you'll be old too OP.

maria theresa is super underrated. joseph II was pretty good too, as was ferdinand I of austria.

most underrated has to go to maximilian I. dude laid the cornerstone of habsburg power and you never hear a damn thing about him.

Aristotle. He's basically one of the first philosophers that can be described as a physical scientist and he also made a great impression on humanism and the Enlightenment as a whole.
