Basically every mountain village had a sort of village strongman back in those days. So if the partisans convinced him that swearing allegiance to the partisans was to his benefit, he told all the lads between 16 and 46 of the village to join. And they listened for the most part. Partisans didn't really have to spend too much time convincing people on an individual basis, peasant by peasant.

At least that's the way my grandfather explained it to me.

"You either join or we burn your village."

Yugoslav communists were very well organized during interwar period, despite their party being banned and their members often arrested, killed and beaten by police. They endured some insane hardships even before the war even started, the guy standing next to Tito managed to translate Marx's Capital from German while in prison, he wrote it down on pieces of toilet paper since there was no other material and his comrades managed to sneak the translation illegaly from prison so it could be printed and distributed.

The pre-war Yugoslav political scene was a mess and political parties were corrupt as shit. They had no real support in the masses. Once the Germans marched in it all crumbled in pieces, the royal government fled to London, while small-time fascist movements decided to serve to Germans. At this point the Yugoslav partisans were the only ones offering unity and cohesion, along with stern resistance to the Germans. The partisans had all peoples of Yugoslavia in their ranks at the time when the country was disintegrated and people slaughtered each other. More importantly, they offered a plan for federalization of the country, something which pre-war politicans have bickered over fruitlessly for two decades. Apart from being poor and undeveloped, Yugoslavia was also politically undefined country.

tl:dr National liberation and social revolution.

Protestants are the same to be honest.

>>3011727
If I can argue here as a Baptist, it's not just Catholics that are affected. It's structural Christianity as a whole. That's why mainline Protestantism was the first to fall to liberalism. Once they became to intelligent for Scripture and the Reformed confessions, their entire existence was built upon the structure itself. Liberalism is like rot. It builds nothing on its own, but affects existing structures.

Rome has the advantage of having Rome as a spiritual focal point, but without a straight-backed, proud bishop at the helm in St. Peter's, the end result will be the same.

>>3011739
It's really not fair to judge all of Protestantism by charismatics or Pentacostals. We freely admit they're bonkers and doctrinally heterodox.

Well maybe. Your best bet is to attach onto someone who you think could make an impact and ride the coattails into the spotlight, even if you are standing just a little out of it.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Most people are.

There's many views regarding Chronological revisionism (New Chronology, Récentisme...) You have
>moderate like Uwe Topper, Heribert Illig (Ealy Middle Ages 600-900 never existed)
>radical like Anatoly Fomenko and Gleb Nosovsky (Human history is some 1100 year old, pre-1600 history is faked)
>bizarre (Christoph Pfister, human history is 400 year old)

Somewhat related to this is the idea that Pompeii wasn't actually an "Ancient" Roman city, but an Italian one that was destroyed in the 17th century.
There's many supposed anachronisms about the artifacts discovered there, tools that seem too advanced, stained glass, Renaissance-style paintings...and an inscription that states that Pompeii was destroyed in the 1600s

Maybe it's all easily refuted by those more competent in the field of history, but it's interesting.

Stuff like this is just fun to think about even if you don't believe it's true.

They got a scientist to inspect all the soldiers who came back from war. They found there were certain parts of the body where soldiers were more likely to have injuries, and other parts where it was rare to have a soldier return with a wound there.

Here's the thing. They put the armour in the places where the returning soldiers HADN'T been injured, because that must be where the body is most vulnerable

>>3010602
>It seems historically torso armor was preferred but that doesn't make much sense to me because it's easier to hit limbs than torsos.

A lot of fighting was done with spears/bows/slings etc in a line, not 1v1 with swords.

>>3010607
I heard that story about B17s in WW2.
But if you get your leg chopped off you're only going to make it back injured-but-alive if your side wins and someone carries you. If you're in single combat you die. So armor designed that way might be optimal for making sure some men survive a battle but sub-optimal for avoiding injury generally during battle.

is there a difference in archer armor vs swordsman armor? All I know is archers were usually lowly peasants and therefore got no armor at all.
