Qin Shi Huang

One of the lesser known facts about the first emperor to unify China is that he had massive public works undertaken, including the first stretches of a northern wall to keep out steppe-nomads and the digging of a very large canal project which enabled Qin to support much greater amounts of troops in the long run.

With the Northern flank more or less secure, and ample food for his army, it made the unification of China that much easier.

In essense, had these massive infrastructure projects not been undertaken, China would not have been unified by the first emperor

The kind of sword that you accidentally thrust into your own face and the kind of shield you use to bluntly and painfully saw off your own leg?

Uh huh. I'm suuure you family's friends would choose you to marry their daughter, because you have suuuch a high paying job and are soooo desirable. A woman would be lucky to be forced to marry someone whose home board is probably /r9k/ and who I'm 95% sure has a cum rag just lying someone in your room, the room in your parent's house where you still live.

that's pretty pathetic anon. I can't believe you would just broadcast this to the world.

Bosniaks for worshipping their conquerors and fighting for Islam for some damn reason

I mean you cannot exonerate Milosovic for being an asshole who suddenly decided that loyalty to Yugoslavia meant accepting Serbian supremacism.

Tudjman was still the shittiest, though, since he decided that Croatian nationalism should be the face of economic liberalization (alienating Serbian and Bosniak liberals), and that that nationalism should be rooted in worship of the fucking nazi puppet government in Croatia.

15th century was largely medieval warfare, albeit cannons for sieges and handguns became common during the later half of the century.
Arquebuses didn't became common until the mid 16th century. I think the Spanish pioneered that and warfare swiftly changed to pike and shot warfare. Also cannons became more versatil as field artillery.

Guns had already played a part in European warfare in the 14th century, and as you can imagine they grew in importance. For a while, gunners functioned basically as improved archers, and they still needed help from pikemen. I'm pretty sure the bayonet came around in the 1600s, thus combining the gun and spear into one.

Armor was also getting better, so I don't think mortality rates went up considerably until the 1600s when gun technology effectively rendered armor worthless.

>Guns had already played a part in European warfare in the 14th century,
only a small part and only stationary during sieges and likes.

The version I've heard is that the Nationalists waged a more typical war, whereas the Communists waged a guerilla war, similar to you.

I'm not knowledgeable on the topic, but I am interested.

I mean, is it even possible to answer this question? Didn't PRC numbers swell over the years? Can you strictly categorize everyone who fought as nationalist or communist? It just seems like a nonsensical question to me. It's not like commie supporters all around the country went into hiding and withheld contributing to the war effort, right?

>>2974957
They contributed only very little, by raiding supply lines every now and again, and explicitly conserved their strength in preparation for restarting the civil war later. The KMT's National Revolutionary Army did the bulk of real fighting, defending cities, and inflicting casualties on the Japanese, losing much of their fighting strength and almost all of their veteran German-trained elite troops in the process.

>Has it been vindicated by the state of modern Zimbabwe?
Maybe not Zimbabwe alone, but certainly the comparison of Zimbabwe and Botswana. Botswana was far kinder to the whites and partly because of that, their country functions much better, especially considering they are landlocked.

>>2973836
>Why did the whole world abandon it?
It didn't want to give up everything at once and wanted to ease into majority control.
>Has it been vindicated by the state of modern Zimbabwe?
It's far superior to Zimbabwe in every way if that is what you mean.

The incompetence of Ian Smith's bunch is responsible for that idiot Mugabe in charge, and the current situation could have been avoided if they had despooked themselves of white supremacist blinders and negotiated reforms early on. It wad most 3-5% white Rhodesian; doubling down on delusional policies while treating the African Rhodesians that were fighting and bleeding in the jungles alongside them like dirt was a big mistake.

Smith's government's best realistic bet was adopting something like the Internal Settlement right off the bat, with black Rhodesians in office and some guaranteed seats in the Parliament for white Rhodesians, along with massive land reform. Would've avoided a bloody guerilla slog and Mugabe ever rising to power. Instead, they decided to ban political parties (discrediting the legal pro-black representation parties as "uncle toms") and lockrf up the leaders of the more militant groups all together in a remote gulag, where they had to work together to survive and were barely supervised, allowing them to spend their days arguing and refining their theories and plans. Then they did the 2nd dumbest thing and let the prisoners walk out alive.

A less ethical but perhaps more plausible option for the Smith government to stay in power would've been giving the Ndebele and othrr minority ethnic groups equal/near equal rights & privileges & using their rivalry with the Shona majority as a means of cementing their allegiance. The Ndebele are descendents of a Zulu army that broke off and conquered the Shona, ruling over them until Cecil Rhodes showed up. They made up roughly a quarter of the populace of what was then Rhodesia, with the Shona at about 60%ish. Having one local people do all the dirty work so the hatred of the colonized is more focused on them than the colonial overlords a classic divide and conquer strategy. Hell, one of Mugabe's first post war atrocities was a genocide of the Ndebele with the help of North Korean troops.
