This one is my favorite.
Trebuchets are magnificent weapons, yet their design is extremely simple. The Chinese were using them at least by the 4th century.
Why did the Romans never come up with a gravity based siege weapon? Was siege warfare not very common at during their time?
>>2625326
You didn't need siege weapons when you had the Roman Legionnaire. Also by the 4th century, Rome was kinda sputtering out.
>was siege warefare not very common during their time?
Not really, and besides the Romans dealt with sieges in really weird ways. They'd prefer to just build up an earthen ramp along the side of your wall and just walk the legion into your base rather than knock your walls down.
>>2625332
this is actually a really intelligent way of undermining a fortification
the second you have a protected means of ingress the siege is over and every advantage they have is undone
What now, racists? We Wuz The Saviors Of Civilization. No need to thank me, and you're welcome for the potatoes.

Coincidentally OP it's actually the anniversary of Dürer's death today
Why'd Latin die out when it was such a widespread language?
it evolved
the same reason no one speaks middle english anymore
because it was a language so it changed into the romance languages
>>2623209
Not all languages evolve. The Chinese can still read Confucius from the BCs

I found it interesting how they got rekt by the Portugese but managed to beat the Dutch in a few centuries (even though the Dutch had a much superior navy than most others at the time).
But here's another one OP. Can somebody post that Chinese-British one?
>>2605709
How
There seems to be a lot of disagreement as to who counts as black and who doesn't. So I broke it down into it's various ethnic groups.
Bantu- Subsaharans
Hamites- Haritin, Tauregs, Fulani, Afro-Arabs
Semites- Nile/HoA Afro-Arabs
Capoids- Bushmen
Abo- melasian and Aussie natives
Mulattos- Blatinos, Islanders, Black americans
Is this accurate?
In America, people haven't heard any of those words in their life. If you're browner than a paper bag, you're black.
What were the names of those Ethiopians who are slightly more Caucasian and therefore slightly more beautiful?
>>2601431
The Niger-Congo peoples are the only real Black people.

Is ti true that nationalism is only about 200 years old?
Nationalism was birthed by the French Revolution yes, anyone telling you nationalism is natural or traditional has no fucking clue what they're talking about.
No it's bs pushed by communists to empower internationalism which will never come
No but it's pointless to argue about because there are often other factors involved such as religion that people will pretend were the sole reason for any kind of nationalism before the 1800s.
There's also the problem of civic vs ethnic nationalism which allows opponents of nationalism to worm their way out of acknowledging any kind of nationalism that had too much of one without the other.
For example they'll say that an ethnic uprising like the Jacobites in Scotland wasn't "nationalist" because there wasn't a centralized nation state behind it, but they'll also say a nationalist empire like Rome wasn't "really nationalist" because they were "multicultural" or they'll get into really semantic arguments about what "ethnicity" means.
Is it it preferable to call white Americans European-Americans as an ode to their heritage. Just like African-Americans get to appropriate an entire continent through there name.
"African American" is used because most black Americans are descended from slaves and don't know what their ethnic group is. Most white Americans on the other hand are aware of their ethnicity so there's no need for a European American term.
Um racist and sexist much? Europe is a racist and imperialistic construct. There is no Europe. There isn't even a western civilization. Back to stormfront OP!

I sometimes refer to myself and others like me as European-Americans.
