Why does everyone ignore the median empire and claim the Achaemenid empire as the first Iranian empire?
21 posts and 7 images submitted.
>>
No one claims the Achaemenids as the first Iranian empire, but first Persian empire.

Also, what is left of the Medes today don't even care since they are all Turk LARPers.
>>
>>2400564
Achaemenids are a continuation of the Median dynasty anyway. Cyrus the Great is the last Median ruler's maternal grandson.

>>2400683
There are no modern Medes. If you think Kurds are Medes that theory has been debunked many times over.
>>
>>2400564
>Why does everyone ignore the median empire

Because it was neither the highest of the high nor the lowest of the low but strictly in the middle.

I have always wondered why Japanese Warriors had zero to non handheld shields.
And after a bit of digging and I found out they did all the way up to the 1800

Before the advent of Samurai it was pretty common to have hand held shields but due to mounted archer combat shields were replaced with 2 handed weapons like bow and arrow, Yari, 2 handed Katana.

And so I found a couple of pictures and also a couple of videos that explain in what context they were used.

Start at 2 min mark
https://youtu.be/0C19fMHVW-w?t=2m

I couldn't find pictures of the shields shown in the video so I was hoping someone could help me with those?
I couldn't screen shot them as it resulted in black captures.

Ill be posting some more pictures I found of old Japanese drawings of Samurai with shields.

Hello /his/, I have lurked on here for a bit now but I don't really want to take part in many discussions because I haven't researched much on the different topics you talk about. What are some common /his/ topics that come up? Do you have a wiki? With love, newfag.

Are you ducking retarded?

You think the removal of the state that was leading constant attacks on the South wouldn't have helped the South strengthen its hold?

Well, there's your problem. That's not the reason. The real reason is because if the USA had committed an overt invasion of North Vietnam, China would have most likely dropped their own proxy war pretenses and punched back in a big way.

Help me understand a Italian fascism, /his/.

I'm starting to get interested in fascism and I often see people praising Mussolini's regime over Hitler's reich. Did fascism help Italy? Was it good living there for the average person?

Can fascism make a successful nation in modern times? Can you have fascism without trying to be an autarky? I don't believe Jews are inherently evil and I'm not a white supremacist, and from what I've read this isn't an issue with Italian fascism.

Yes, the average person was either as well off or better off than before fascism, which is why people didn't really care about the regime change.

They were horribly awful at war and pretty much did nothing note exept lose, they are Italians though, they havent been good at war since Roman times desu.
They also pursecuted gays, I guess the economy was ok but money doesn't mean happiness.
>>
>>2399679
Mussolini was the first to do something for the Italian people, like draining swamps and winning the war on wheat. He also redeem the Italian army by conquering Abyssinia

Sadly he entered WW2 and fucked all

A little bit here and there but most people who had legit reasons to be against the regime like Gommies and Kikes were thrown into camps. As I recall there was gangs of kids who rebelled against the societal norms by listening to foreign music and smoking and stuff if you count that as resistance.

The most significant event I can think of is when members of the German High Command attempted to assassinate Hitler because they weren't pleased with how he was handling the war.

But yeah there were no Hugo Stiglitz wannabes

For most average people who were not mentally retarded, Jewish, or Communist, life was pretty okay aside from the constant bombing, intense rationing, and fear of being conscripted. Even if you didn't like the nazis you had other things to worry about.

And yeah, there's one thing I forgot to mention. A lot of people hid Jews in their homes and I believe there was groups something like the underground railroad in the 19th century that tried to hide Jews and get them out of the country.

What impact do you think it had on the outcome of ww2? One book i have says german communists supplied the soviets with info leading to the deaths of 200,000 german soldiers.
