My theory?

Roman Empire was last Empire of Europe.
They adopted Christianity and the Church took over as governing body in Europe instead of a large land ruler with one name.

>Why didn't Europeans get along?

What do you mean?

my theory

europeans are much better at competing with each other and being on a similar level.

this competition and decentralization made europe the most powerful continent in the last 200 years. Europe is in decay because of centralization desu.

Winners don't apologize.

it was necessary, even if it was just to scare off the russians it was still necessary

>>2386321
What is there to apologize for exactly? Millions of people, soldier and civilian alike, died in that war - I don't see why a few ten thousand all dying at once is seen as so much worse.

>>2386268
Myth.

There was no "stab in the back". Germany was fucking starving to death and their spring offensive failed. With the arrival of over 1 million americans it meant they were fucked

>>2386268

Complete myth. The Germans were utterly crushed on the Western Front by the time of the armistice, unable to even retreat as quickly as the Entente was advancing. That's not even getting into the situation on the home front, which was atrocious, with people literally starving the last winter and poised to do it all over again.

Germany lost the war, plain and simple.

>>2386279
Kinda wish the war had continued for another few months. At the very least that would shut all those "muh k/d ratio" idiots like Churchill when their army collapsed completely and millions of POWs started being taken for little loss.

Other hominids like neanderthals may have been sentient, but we drove them all to extinction

Neanderthal were definitely sentient.

stop shilling this stupid game and these stupid videos

Several good Youtubers who actually study ancient/medieval warfare on all sides of the fences have stated that the guy is flat-out wrong about just about everything in the video.

1. Vikings actually had great weapons.
2. Knights were quite quick and nimble
3. Mail and round shields are enough to stop arrows
4. Samurai armor isn't that much "lighter" than plate

When it comes down to it, there's no real answer to the debate and it always ends with speculation.

Not an argument

It's pronounced "Ching".

You should read up on the White Company and John Hawkwood.

The largest and most dangerous during medieval times was the catalan company under Roger de Flor. It's amazing how powerful they were, razing everything in their path in the Med sea (Sicily, Balkans, Byzantium and the Ottoman turks)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_Company

>>2393246
The Famous white company at max numbered 9000 men. They started at around 200 archers.


Biggest probably was from Asia, considering you can hire whole fucking Steppe Nomad Tribes there. Babur for example, became a mercenary with 10,000 of his feudal personal troops following the seizure of his lands by Uzbeks.

colonialism was wrong but so were native tyrants

If you proclaim the truth of "might is right", you must be ready to have it applied to you.

Cases in point, Zimbabwe and Haiti.

>>2393136
As a non-white, that's wrong. I fully acknowledge that might makes right. That's just how the world is. You're mixing the rest of us up with the negros and that's pretty fucking insulting. I'm glad my civilization actually built more than a collection of huts.

Somewhere in MENA.

Never existed

It's in Axum, Ethiopia, in a treasury near the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion. No need to speculate.

>>2392739
Nope. Sorry

I did one year of it at uni but dropped it because it was filled with ugly thots, people just doing it to kill off credits in their arts degrees and the fact that my country was populated by peoples whose greatest achievement was burned stick.

i worked for them for many years doing field work for them

you mean shit like this?

>>2392292
Yeah
Are any of those under Abbasid suzerainty?

>>2392303
Like half of them were originally Abbasid governships but later broke the fold and became independent after they were weakened by internal struggles and Daylamite/Qarmatian shenanigans.

if you don't mind subtitles, there is a hilarious german movie called "look who's back" about adolf hitler waking up in 2015 berlin. he is the actual hitler, has no idea how he went from april 1945 to the present day, and everybody else is convinced he is some sort of ultra serious method actor.

>>2392143
Just finished watching The Last Kingdom. It was surprisingly good.
