I'm not saying that it's not interesting, it is
It's just it brings the worst morons to the discussion, be it naziboo stormfags or tankie leftypol fags.
It's just irritating because every ww2 revolves around /pol/ faggotry, holocaust denial, what if Hitler did "insert something" here, etc.

Bad damage control procedures, like the fact that Japanese ships had a dedicated damage control team rather than giving everyone the training like on American ships, results in much of the losses Japan experienced that weren't instant sinks.

Using pre-treaty carriers (minus the Shokaku-class, which were treaty cheats anyway) were extremely fragile. When you combine extreme vulnerability (as in, one bomb has a chance to kill the whole carrier) with the fact that technology and carrier tactics of the time of any country was incapable of stopping an enemy strike from hitting your carrier, you had to be prepared to lose your carriers if the enemy found you.
US could have lost all 3 carriers if the second strike from the Hiryu had found CV-6's task force rather than hitting CV-5 again.

No running water = no public toilets.

>>3395392
Do you know how much infrastructure and organisation it requires to supply a city with fresh running water, let alone heated water? Many of the medieval kings lacked the resources to invest such large amounts while they had more pressing issues or wanted to expand their small territories.

Also, the reason why Romans were so effective in building this infrastructure (e.g. aqueducts) is because they ruled a large empire, allowing them to transport water for miles. This is a significant hurdle for small kingdoms.

>>3395410
>>3395420
I see your point, but just think about central Europe, there were cities like Cologne which also had running water etc., those cities used Roman infrastructure for hundreds of years and somehow no one cared enough about the toilets to copy them.
Even if you ignore public toilets with running water, public pit latrines are still better than a river of shit on the street.

Technically Poland was "a noblemen democracy" with elected kings (the election looked like pic related, all neblemen could vote):
>The countries with the highest proportion of nobles were Castile (probably 10%), Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (15% of an 18th-century population of 800,000), Spain (722,000 in 1768 which was 7–8% of the entire population) and other countries with lower percentages, such as Russia in 1760 with 500,000–600,000 nobles (2–3% of the entire population), and pre-revolutionary France where there were no more than 300,000 prior to 1789, which was 1% of the population (although some scholars believe this figure is an overestimate). In 1718 Sweden had between 10,000 and 15,000 nobles, which was 0.5% of the population. In Germany 0.01%.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobility#Europe

>Perhaps the closest parallels to Poland's 'Noble Democracy' can be found outside Europe altogether ? in America ? among the slave-owning aristocracy of The South, where slave-owning democrats and founding fathers of the USA such as Thomas Jefferson or George Washington had many values in common with the reformist noblemen of the Commonwealth.[12]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Liberty
>In theory at least, all Polish noblemen were social equals. Also in theory, they were legal peers. Those who held 'real power' dignities were more privileged but these dignities were not hereditary. Those who held honorary dignities were higher in 'ritual' hierarchy but these dignities were also granted for a lifetime. Some tenancies became hereditary and went with both privilege and titles. Nobles who were not direct barons of the Crown but held land from other lords were only peers "de iure".

>>3395398
>The poorest enjoyed the same rights as the wealthiest magnate. The exceptions were a few symbolically privileged families such as the Radziwiłł, Lubomirski and Czartoryski, who sported honorary aristocratic titles recognized in Poland or received from foreign courts, such as "Prince" or "Count". (see also The Princely Houses of Poland). All other szlachta simply addressed each other by their given name or as "Sir Brother" (Panie bracie) or the feminine equivalent.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szlachta
>The political system of the Rzeczpospolita was regarded by the nobility as the best in the world, and the Polish Sejm as (factually[17]) the oldest. The system was frequently compared to Republican Rome and to the Greek polis – though each of these eventually surrendered to imperial rule or to tyrants. The Henrician Articles were considered to be the foundation of the system. Every attempt to infringe on these laws was treated as a great crime.

I wasn't so much "they will never go into Belgium" rather the French overcompensated by moving a huge force into Belgium to meet the Germans thinking "it is impossible for tanks to move through the ardennes" and then when that happened they got cut off and destroyed.

>>3395351

The Belgians forbade them from doing so because they thought it would mean the French would be hiding behind their wall while Belgium was occupied.

desu his greatest mistake was not concluding a truce. Madman even undertook an offensive (which was a moderate success). That and being generally lenient to Bolsheviks.
