I'm somewhat the reverse. I tend to distrust anyone that shows an extreme passion for a particular era, in my experience it usually means the person in question is either a religious fanatic or a very strange sort of racist.

Scientists vs religious institutions/leaders vs general population. It's hard to stay unbiased on behalf of people of science and general population in discussions of religious institutions destroying scientific progress and exploiting the esoteric and spiritual as well as unintelligent nature of man by replacing the inexplicable with a creator, whilst defending themselves by saying science has done as much and more damage to man and humanity as science has by examples like damage caused by nuclear bombs and modernized warfare which would not have occurred if religious institutions continued to kill off scientific progress. I believe that the true freedom and humanity lie on the path of scientific and technological enlightenment free of religious and political oppression.

I'm a big fan of Alexander.
I genuinly believe that at the end of his life, had he not died, he would have conquered the entire Mediteranean. He had the means and the army, fielding the strongest army the Mediteranean world would see until the times of gunpowder.

I've read maybe 6-7 books on him. A few of them make him out to be almost oblivious to his own successes and relying mostly on luck - These I do not like. This is where my bias shines through.

I certainly have a favorite period, which would be the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic War era. But I wouldn't say I'm particularly biased -- or perhaps equally biased for both sides in different areas -- because I love the British Royal Navy of that era while simultaneously mostly preferring Napoleon and his ground armies.

Denmark-Norway was also on the French side, which is cool... though the Spanish can fuck off. And the only coalition states I really like are Britain (for naval stuff), Prussia, Sweden (they switched sides too much) and the Dutch, but they became a client state to the French Empire anyway.

So I'm pretty impartial. I like the era and some nations more than others, but they don't necessarily line up with the French Empire and various coalitions dichotomy.

I suppose I have some biases in other eras that aren't my favorites though. I'm pro-England in the Hundred Years' War, Pro-Yorkist in the War of the Roses, pro-Dutch Republic in the Dutch Revolt against the filthy Spaniards and pro-Byzantine Empire in almost every war they fought. And lean heavily towards the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in their wars because the winged hussars were badass. In fact, I guess anything involving the winged hussars or the Byzantine Empire are my strongest biases, though my favorite era is the French Revolutionary War-Napoleonic era.

If I recall correctly;

When Alexander died, he had already begun the construction of a fleet at Babylon, with which they would sail down and conquer Arabia.

He was also marshalling and concentrating his army at Babylon with this intention.

After Arabia, it's anyone's guess. It's quite likely Syracuse and Magna Graecia would be next, as that would have forced almost all greek city states into the Hellenic league with some exceptions (Massilia and the Bosphoran kingdoms).

Posting this again...

In any force in military history, context is important. How would you characterize the Vikings? They were a Germanic tribe in an era defined by the rise, fall and settlement of Germanic tribes.

But they had something unique for the period: Amphibious warfare and access to rivers that were only navigable to their extremely shallow draft boats.

Now there are some retards in this thread who talk about this as a negative. These people are as retarded as the norseaboos who think that they could do know wrong and were like Germanic Sparta. What they were, were people who had their moment in time. They could pick where they wanted to fight and so they chose to fight where their enemy was weak. That's not cowardice, that's using your advantage.

So, they could move freely. However, due to their status as marines, they couldn't take cavalry with them. When Europe was marked by its infantry based armies, this wasn't an issue. When chivalric, mounted warfare developed, they were completely outclassed and their prominence faded everywhere but Britain and Ireland and even that wasn't to last. So, they were potent for a time but that was based on their ability to outmaneuver their opponents. In the case of their war for control of England. They were able to fight the armies of the petty kingdoms of England to a standstill and hold large swaths of land for centuries and a Dane sat upon the English throne.

Look, I know it was shit, poor and violent. I know it was less advanced that the classical antiquity that went before and the Renaissance that came after. I know the art was shit, the literature sub-par, the political system dysfunctional and people were ignorant, superstitious savages.

But I love it nonetheless, and when I see someone saying the Crusades were unjust, that the Middle Ages were the "Dark Ages" or repeating anticlerical cliches from the conflict thesis, I come to the defense of the Middle Ages.

I always have scenarios.in my head of feudal dynasties bloodlines, intrigue warfare. Medieval Europe is probably the best area of history to study.

The Cold War.
There's just something about two completely opposing superpowers facing off against each other while technology advances at extreme rapid pace. Also I like the music and movies.

Not one particuar period. Except maybe for any grand age of discoveries. Sea, Africa, polar regions, mountains etc. Shame that people generally don't give a crap about this stuff.

As for nations. Eeastern Europe in general. Well at least Russia is fairly known but that's it and that's a damn shame. The Dutch were also pretty cool for like a century.

On the oppossite side I'm not very fond of Germany. Not all germanic people but this particular country. Way overrated.

Also I don't like the Anglos but find their history fascinating. Same for the rest of the Anglosphere.

Call me a slavaboo but I never cease to amaze at everything that Russians have been through, from surviving wars which threatened to kill off the entire population/ethnicity, to leading the world in space exploration and social equality (USSR). Don't get me wrong though, it's not that I can't take criticism or hate towards my heritage, or that I worship all of the evil done by Russian leaders, but I simply have a boner for the shit we've been through and achieved.

They brought it upon themselves tho. 74 years, basically a lifetime of a single man, ruled by a brutal mafia, most of the time also slaughtering other countries and keeping them under their boot.
Not like today is much better despite different labels. I don't even know the last Russian leader that was acceptable. Alexander II perhaps.
>>
>>579972
I never said that I love the USSR leadership, I think that they were assholes and corrupt shitbags who ruined the face of the Russian people and the face of socialism.

I also didn't mean to specify the USSR, I meant to refer to all of Russian history rather than the last 70ish years.

Me too. Then again I have only one friend who really cares about history. We may disagree on some interpretations of events or the quality of some of Romes leaders, but we both know in our heart of hearts Rome is best.

Sadly I moved recently, and now rarely talk to him because I have no job, no phone, and a nasty case of the sad's. Oh well, my own fault.

Domitian did nothing wrong.

strategy was probably the one single greatest strength of the red army in ww2 - exactly to make up for its lack of quality troop training and not stellar to put it mildly lower ranking officer corps

The only badass was Genghis Khan. They were savage barbarians for the entirety of their life and look at them now. Not even relevant. Genghis Khan did more harm to the world than good. And Mongol blood is tainted blood. Northern Chinese and Koreans are not even regarded as people with Han Chinese blood from Southern China and Japan. Genghis Khan is the reason why the world is the way it is today. There no pride in having Mongol blood, only shame.

Indeed, there is so many evidence of treason from within, the whole Amerasia affair, for example, that's ridiculous how some people still treat the charge that the loss of China happened thanks to communist spies as "conspiracy theory".

No. Even though I love ancient Egypt and Sumer, I can understand why their flaws.
Sumerians wasted their resources and destroyed their land needlessly and were unable to centralize their power in a lasting way. Egyptians were able to succed where sumerians failed, but their culture was flawed, as they were inflexible and more than corrupt and elitist, wich led them to multiple internal conflicts, either between city dwellers and feudal lords or between the king and his lords, not to mention unpalatable stuff for modern sensibilities like genital mutilation.

It's hard to overrate Alexander. His father was an overachiever too, he was born at a time when Macedonia had fully recovered from a rather rough period and the Greek military machine he inherited was at the top of Western Eurasia in many ways so he had everything going for him yet he still comes across as a completely brilliant commander.

Of course he was also a genocidal emo cunt...

But I mean, majority of the mathematics and science principles still used today were made during the Enlightenment Era and Renaissance in the era of Christendom, like France and Italy because during that time, education and the arts became extremely popular and thus most citizens started to learn how to read and thus the pursuit of knowledge.

And all of this happened because a few guys decided to start rewriting the bible in mass print so the masses could read it, instead of having to believe everything a priest says.

I'm as anti-religious as they come, but religion itself has benefitted mankind and will continue to do so.

Lets go back in time and deport all of your ancestors of 500 bc to mongolia and see if they can build and achieve something there.

Do you even know how Mongolia looks? A big part of it looks like the fucking moon. Noone can achieve anything there. There aren't any kind of resources there to build civilizations.
