Will Russia ever apologise for the mass rapes and atrocities they committed during world war 2?
>Western estimates of the traceable number of rape victims range from two hundred thousand to two million.[94] Following the Winter Offensive of 1945, mass rape by Soviet males occurred in all major cities taken by the Red Army. Women were gang raped by as many as several dozen soldiers during the liberation of Poland. In some cases victims who did not hide in the basements all day were raped up to 15 times.[69][95] According to historian Antony Beevor, following the Red Army's capture of Berlin in 1945, Soviet troops raped German women and girls as young as eight years old.[96]

He waged war against the Buddhist/peasants anti-war faction. Was vehemently anti-buddhist (possibly christian influence)
>>
They're retards, they see him as a bad guy because he did DISHONORABU things that were totally justified.
I can't be bothered to google it for the exact details but if I remember correctly some buddhists basically tried to assinate him and then when they failed they fled back to their little fort and said "Heh, can't hurt us, this is sacred ground" and Nobunaga was just like "You tried to kill me, I don't give a fuck" and burned the place to the ground with everyone still inside.
>>
>>3331321
There's plenty of stuff that portrays him in a more reasonable light, he's just a very recognizable figure who can easily slotted in as a villain for sengoku fantasy like onimusha and the rest

Wheat for Europe

It's history's first meme food. Greeks, Romans, and Levantines used to happily eat porridges of barley and rye, but once they became well-off enough to mass-produce bread instead they started pretending like porridge was some barbarian poverty food that was beneath them. The maize polenta eaten in Northern Italy is the direct descendant of Roman polentum.

Most influential food? Other animals.

At least for one that size, it seems better suited for individual style fighting, rather than cohesively as part of a unit within confined spaces on the battlefield.

It was basically designed as a counter to boiled leather cracking off the tips off the older model Tachi when they fought Mongols on boats, so I suppose it was useful in naval warfare

Forgot to mention: creation is a form of expressing things, so you'll eventually be able to convey your feelings about society in a way that people are more open to.

The photos cover the Winter War, the Continuation War and the Lapland War both at the front and at homes. All branches of the FDF are covered. It took 3½ years to digitize the negatives.

Their trade networks were a major factor in the "great divergence" between Europe and the rest of the world.
They developed ocean going cargo ships from older Norse designs.
They made connections to Genoa and Portugal linking trade to the Mediterranean, hastening the spread of technology and the development of Portugal's naval technology.
They allowed the manufacturing centers of Flanders, France, Germany and England more access to natural resources like low impurity iron ore from Scandinavia and timber from the Baltic.
>>
Their HQ was called a 'Kontor' and situated in Bergen.
You can tell when a city was part of the Hanseatic League because the coat of arms would incorperate the colours Red and White.
