All Australians should aspire to be like him.

That standard was that they were low manned and highly funded. I believe that when Salado took Jerusalem there were two Templars in the whole city. Instead of relying on pure manpower, they had an advanced network of castles and fortifications to defend the area. The knights' attendants and servants were called to the field with them on many occasions as well, as were mercenaries. At any given time the states could muster somewhere around 8-12 thousand troops for a short campaign. However, Templars were very few and their militaries were still comparatively small at full size.

I don't have it on me at the moment, so my numbers might be off, but according to
>The Crusades: The Authoritative History of the War for the Holy Land by Thomas Asbridge

The manpower available to the leaders of Outremer was surprisingly small - lots of campaigns talk of forces of a few hundred knights backed by a thousand or so other forces. The Battle of Inab, for example, had just 1,600 men from Antioch. Before the rise of Zangi al-Din, there were even some horrifyingly small expeditions consisting of something like ~50 or so knights.

The general idea seems to be that Outremer lasted only as long as it did because the Latins were far more concerned with holding onto it than the Muslims were with ousting them. The Muslim polities in the region were constantly fighting with eachother, and generally seemed to be more concerned with gaining hegemony over eachother rather than eliminating the Crusader states. Take the Zangid dynasty, for example. Zangi al-Din fought almost his entire career not against Outremer, but fellow Muslims in the region, only turning against Edessa at the end of his career. In fact, Zangi was so feared by other Muslims that Damascus even allied with the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

Good points. I recall reading about Crusader states allying with one or another Muslim leader against other Muslim factions during their first century there.

Garfield will always have a special place in my heart for having given a cute little proof of the Pythagorean theorem. This proof is essentially "half" of the well-known "inscribe a square inside a larger square at any angle you like" argument. Although perhaps not totally rigorous, it is simple enough to persuade quickly. Middle schoolers and high schoolers can quickly appreciate its truth.

Garfield's proof would actually make a useful pedagogical tool in secondary math education, as its use would also provide a small piece of math history.

Bombing Russians V Bombing Burgerland is this even a serious question. Hitler had no interest in Burgerland.

>>2782444
This combined with the fact that they didn't have aircraft carriers. OP do you think the nips flew all the way from Japan to Hawaii?

>>2782430
Tell me OP, what could Germany use in 1941 to bomb US East coast?

PS: The one thing I am not proud of at all and I wish for people to never find out about is my Prussian heritage.

You have no heritage and if you are the shitskin kind of '''''persian''''' doubly you have none. You're the rootless individual who will belong to no tribe, you were unlucky not be some kind of mass-offspring between different races, like those mestizos or the Anglo-Indians. At least they had a community of other mudbloods of the same type to assimilate into.

Go read Snyder of Hilberg.

Nigga, the Hutus did 800,000 in a hundred days with machetes.

That would give us a rate of 8,000 a day, which means that if the Interhamwe had been in charge of the Holocaust, they could have gotten it done in a little under two years.

To put this in perspective, between 15 and 25 million Soviet civilians died during the same timeframe.

You know, people just used to have this silly tendency to die a lot if you put them in camps with little to no food and access to medical care while still having to work a lot
Crazy, I know

The first emperor of the Mauryan Empire of India once had a bodyguard corps of topless female archers guarding the inner palace.

On account that he couldn't trust the men to guard him in his private moments.

>>2782161
No shit, they only existed because of Gaddafi's weird fetishes, and were no more than glorified sex toys. He could rape any of them as he pleased.

Britain was better at war
Britian had a larger exporting population
Britain was Anglican so didn't have to worry about converting people
Britain was fine with killing tribes
Britain could focus on colonisation rather than some Frankish borders

Either sell it to the US or see the US take it by force just like the original 13 colonies.

For people with terminal illnesses, who are in suffering, I say they should have the right to choose to end their lives. If not that, to be put into a coma until they die naturally.
In cases of depression and suicidal tendencies, I'm not so sure. People can recover from that shit somewhat, and usually suicidal ideation isn't there to stay.

>>2782099
Yes because killing yourself is abnormal

>Should there be a human right to die?

No. The moment you legalize euthanasia, you open up a pandora's box where insurance companies will actively pressure older patients into killing themselves.
