>why do they get shit on all the time

Buffer state between three hungry great powers.

Americans - righteous Protestants

British - pragmatic and left the French alone so long as they didn't rise up

>>2509674

My understanding is that the Quebecers had far more grudges with the Colonists than with the British Government itself. The Colonists were seen as driving force behind the French and Indian War and responsible for most of its ugliest aspects.

Why would Catholic peasents who were allowed to preserve their culture and system of law under the crown join a movement of anticatholic masonic protestant supremacists?

I don't know why there hasn't been a biopic about him desu.

You wouldn't even need to do that typical Hollywood whitewash BS where they give people modern values, he genuinely would still hold up as a good person by modern standards.

>Continuity and change are alike illustrated in a story narrated by Peter Charanis, born on the island of Lemnos in 1908 [...]
>"When the island was occupied by the Greek navy [in 1912] Greek soldiers were sent to the villages and stationed themselves in the public squares. Some of us children ran to see what these Greek soldiers, these Hellenes, looked like. "What are you looking at?" One of them asked. "At Hellenes" we replied. "Are you not Hellenes yourselves?" He retorted. "No, we are Romans".
>Thus was the most ancient national identity in all of history finally absorbed and ended. Charanis [...] eventually came to consider himself an Hellene.

I would prefer Ancient Rome, I am an absolute pagan, so medieval Europe is no go.

>>2509623
Medieval Italy was a crumbling bankrupt ruin where petty tyrants and corrupt brotherhoods openly murdered each other in blood feuds, and wild dogs menaces the townsfolk in the streets.

The popes had to practically beg the French Nobility to come and conquer them by offering kingdoms and even the Papacy.

Ancient Rome is a wide span of time. At it's peak? Absolutely Rome

Huns.

A broad term for a larger group of related tribes who, fleeing China's massive push West against any barbarians they found, ended up starting a tidal wave towards India, Middle East, and Europe. The Huns who ended up in Europe pushed most of the Germanic tribes who ended up defeating and taking over the Western Roman Empire. The Germanics who did not flee ended up joining the Hunnic forces in Europe. Many Gepids, Goths, and pre-Slavs were the bulk of Attila's infantry core.

The Huns supported skull shaping in all their children. They elongated the skull until early childhood. This gave them an ugly, odd shape. Ritual scarring of both cheeks gave them a grotesque appearance that really shaped the fears so many people harbored towards them. The power they held came from Attila's ability to monger his own legend. Slaying his brother, Bleda only added to his prestige. As more tribes joined his war path into Europe, fewer resisted. Fewer losses and higher recruitment ended up culminating into a very large army.

They were paid in loot and stayed out of fear. Attila's inability to lose gave him a very large persona. Eventually his streak had to end. The Battle of the Catalaunian Fields was a massive (someone dramatic would call it an "end-game") battle in which tens of thousands of Germanic warriors took sides with the fading Roman Empire or the rising Hun Horde. Attila's forces slew a Visigothic king in the height of the battle. Rather than flee, his vanguard rushed to his corpse. Other soldiers saw this and thought they had the advantage. Pressing hard into Attila's forces eventually paid off. The unbeatable Hun retired from the battlefield. His image was tarnished, but not broken.

He returned to his base of operations in Eastern Europe. A famine ravaged the area - a mix of climate change and his own raiding ensured it would occur. Launching another raid into Northern and Central Italy ensured his horde remained intact. Pope Leo approached Attila then

This is why I come to /his/. Were the "white huns" the ones that made it to Europe?

The huns being turkic/linked to chinese barbarians is an old myth with little evidence.

Germans were pushed into the empire less by the huns, more by the tribes the huns displaced, /and/ changes in climate that led them to search for more fertile lands within the Empire. (At that, they were useful. They helped replace the deplated rural populations).

The battle of Châlons was not as large as it was historically assumed to be. It did not stop Attila from continuing his later raids into Italy.

The Gallic campaign had really been decided by the strategic success of the allies in cutting off Attila from Orleans. The battle was fought when he was in full retreat. It wasn't some 'clash of nations'.

The invasion into Italy was more a 'raid all the shit' thing, which was stopped due to plague out breaks, not due to the Papacy.

Overall, the Huns were but one of many minor warlord tribes on the outskirts of the Empire that occasionally raided in it. They were paid off a lot, which was standard imperial policy.

The empire fell apart after Atilla's death.

Not enough.

>Germany lost little land and what it did lose was mostly ethnically Polish
>Germany's industry was basically untouched by the war while they ravaged France's; the treaty did not balance that out
>Germany entered the war with Europe's largest continental GDP, exited the war with the same and underwent great economic growth until the depression
>reparations were designed to look much worse than they really were; French/British specifically designed reparations that Germany was able to pay
>total bill that Germany had to pay was $12.5 billion; to appease their populations at home, the allies designed the treaty to look like Germany was paying $33 billion. The Germans were able to turn this around and make it look like they were forced to pay far more than they could afford.

The conditions Germany offered as a PEACE arrangement in 1916 were much more harsh than what they got from what was a fairly unambiguous defeat. And let's not even think about comparing this treaty to what they imposed on the Russian Empire after they won that war.

Germans are terrible losers

Because he was up against Scott.

Seriously, Scott's the best general America forgot. He kicked ass from the War of 1812 up to the Mexican-American War, and won the Civil War despite being retired in late 61. Anaconda Plan 2stronk.

Santa Anna couldn't even fucking beat Texas. What on earth makes you think he could beat the entire U.S.?

>>2509547
Santa Anna lost just because he was a stupid irresponsible guy. He defeated the revolutionary "Texans", but was surprised by San Jacinto only because he ordered his army to rest a lot (although he really got drunk that day). And, you can easily search the battle of Angostura, the key battle of the Mexican-American War, where you clearly defeated Taylor, but retired without reason at the end of the battle. After that, everything was lost.

In a nutshell, Santa Anna was a true Mexican. A witty dude with a lot of potential, but lazy and irresponsible as fuck.

He's clearly white so no.
