Are the Druze a meme ethnicity? Are they ever mentioned in any historical accounts or did they just pop up out of nowhere?

Yeah man they just fuckin showed up one day in 1948 demanding the Israelis give them equal rights

>>3251778
They're a weird group of isolationist Muslims who came around in the middle ages and worship this one Caliph and didn't really do anything besides fuck with every empire who tried to invade them.

These days many Druze are political leftists, supporting groups like the Syrian Baathists or Hezbollah or the communist party of Lebanon.

I have one question that I haven't put much thought into, but I'll ask it nonetheless. Why didn't Alexander ever travel by sea? I know he had to conquer to expand his empire, but couldn't he have travel eastward with ships?

History... Repeats itself?
>>
Revolutionary France wasn't seeking revenge in the napoleonic wars.

The 1790's revolutionary wars were started against them, and the napoleonic wars were basically napoleon's plans to set his dynasty up in Europe and strangle Britain.

>a charismatic war veteran
Napoleon was born 1769, 6 years after the war ended.
Hitler was a bout as a charismatic as a guy with only one ball, a liberal arts degree, no job and vegan appetite can be.

Hitler declared war on Poland, and there were no green checkmarks on on the "declare war screen" next to the U.K and France like in your video games. Probably didn't expect everyone to attack him, though maybe he should have.

I remember the Egyptian using them as archers (Nilotic and Sudanese Kushitics) and the Moors using slaves-soldiers chained together in the las navas (and some Morocan dinasties used them as a kind of Mameluke/Close slave soldier).

Egypt used them all the time for obvious reasons of proximity. And of course during the imperialist era European powers had mostly African troops keeping order in their colonies in Africa.

Normans in Europe by Van Houts is a good primary source book. Anything by her is good actually. Leonie Hicks has a good summary of Norman history too.

If you want info on the Angevin Empire, then go to Gillingham, and his material. Dunbabin and Brian Golding are good as well.

The Dutch had three god-tier commanders and were mostly fighting with the approval of the local peoples in their homeland. While the Spaniards were stretched out over three continents, faced with separatism everywhere. Its a wonder the Habsburgs could even hold on to Belgium.

I'm none of those things, and yet I am not an eye-rolling cunt. Not yet, anyway.

And please, don't fawn over immigrants because you think there is something 'vital' about them, that's parasitic.

Firstly, nobody lived there. Very sparse, no cities, not much.
Then the spanish came, and they failed to make this area commercially viable, but at least settled it.
When Napoleon took Spain, the locals decided they will govern themselves. A war took place to ensure this.
Then some civil wars took place to decide if they want to be federal or centralized.
And after that two centuries of trying every type of government thats fashionable at the moment.

Thats that. Dull place, historically.
