My man you can't comprehend people from other countries today

>they are unfamiliar so they are aliums
??

I kinda always imagine prehistoric to ancient people in mythical mode, like imagining them as having the way of thinking and life as people in old legends, very simple and ritualistic, and the further progress you go the more similar it get to current mindset

I get it though, it'll probably like us today trying to comprehend how Muslim extremists or how North Korean people think

>Its like Euronigs fight for the sake of fighting each other.

Yes... and?

Truth is that almost all medieval wars were glorified inheritance conflicts rather than wars of pure conquest. They'd fight for a while and then conclude the war with a treaty because that is how Christians treated each other most of the time.

Castles. Lots of castles. Castles all over the place. It could take months or years to capture one, that is assuming there isn't another army nearby that can stop you.

Romans and Greeks would capture a city and control a region, in medieval europe you'd need to capture a dozen forts to hold that same region. Decentralised and fortified areas are hard to conquer.

Just about all of them with a few notable exceptions like Icelandic.

I don't agree with his doctrine but *sniff* I want some fucking juice.

He's right on the nose, just like Haidt in The Righteous Mind.

Decentralised cultures tend to have an easier time adapting to change. You can also see this pattern favor the north American tribes.

Didn't do them much good in the end tho.

I'd say because its not German

So, like anything else, define your terms.

If by WW1 you mean the alliance of Russia, Britain, and France getting into a war with Germany and Austria-Hungary over the death of the Austrian Archduke from Serbian irridentism then, yes, no assassination means no war. If, however, you define the first world war as a global, albeit primarily European, conflict between involving all of the significant imperial Western states, then no, that ship started sailing years if not decades before Franz Ferdinand's visit to Sarajevo was ever planed.

Personally, I blame Bismarck and I also wrote a paper on it for a 4th year university course a few years back. The tl;dr version is that Bismarck didn't read the tea leaves that Germany would, inevitably, come to blows with Russia and that France was never going to get over losing Alsace & Metz. There are anecdotes from French & Russian ambassadors in the 1830's discussing what would happen if Germany united, and how it would end up with them getting stomped on.

Austria-Hungary clearly was unstable at this time. Could they have resisted the rising tides of ethno-nationalism? It's definitely hard to say. Archduke Ferdinand was ironically a moderating voice in regard to self-determination. He was somewhat well-received, and was warned again and again by the mayor of Belgrade that something was likely to happen. So maybe he was kind of thick? Maybe in every timeline he dies in some ridiculous way, eventually leading eventually to a civil war.

One cannot discount the hysteria in France about Germany's growing population and influence either. Or Russia's fawning over it's demi-Slavic "brothers" in the Balkans.

>Archduke Ferdinand was ironically a moderating voice in regard to self-determination.
This was the issue. If the "Serbs" in Bosnia and Dalmatia are happy as Austro-Hungarian subjects, they'll never be part of Greater Serbia; Franz Ferdinand was an existential threat to the Serbian nationalist agenda.

>Or Russia's fawning over it's demi-Slavic "brothers" in the Balkans.
Ironically, Germany caused this. While Russia was building their Siberian railway and worrying about Manchuria, A-H needed something to keep busy with, and it was Bismarck who suggested they get their own half of the Balkans as a sphere of influence.
