You seem spooked.

This is to imply there are no greater powers and no continuation of life force.

I like the Tao way of thinking. You and your spirit energy are constantly trying to find immortality in order to bring about greater human knowledge. If you die, you are reborn, or born again in a fashion.

Why did Mexicans in 1846/47 perform as badly as Iraqis in 1990/91?

Why were they so ridiculously bad at fighting?

They had no chance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican%E2%80%93American_War#Mexican_Army

>The Mexican Army emerged from the war of independence (1810-1821) as a weak and divided force.

>On the Mexican side, only 7 of the 19 states that formed the Mexican federation sent soldiers, armament, and money for the war effort, as the young Republic had not yet developed a sense of a unifying, national identity.[35]

>Mexican soldiers were not easily melded into an effective fighting force. Santa Anna said "the leaders of the army did their best to train the rough men who volunteered, but they could do little to inspire them with patriotism for the glorious country they were honored to serve."[36]

>One of the contributing factors to loss of the war by Mexico was the inferiority of their weapons. The Mexican army was using surplus British muskets (e.g. Brown Bess) from the Napoleonic Wars period. While at the beginning of the war the majority of American soldiers were still equipped with the very similar Springfield 1816 flintlock muskets, more reliable caplock models gained large inroads within the rank and file as the conflict progressed.

Why Is Europe so well off today? It was wrecked during both world wars...
Is there an actual western European mentality that is unique? A way of interacting with others and with different aspects of life?

I live in Israel and Its definately economically worse in every way compared to western European and northern European countries.
What im curious about is what is it exactly that is causing these differences.
Is it the fact Israel is in conflict with some of its neighbors? Is it because the countries around us are economically weak?
Or is there some sort of outlook on life and way of behaving with others and thinking of others that is unique to Western European people?
Or maybe its just that Europe has had a prolonged time of peace, allowing European countries to really perfect all their systems and infrustructure(though it was ahead before as well)?
I mean, as an example, even when we think of legal systems, for them to become more nuanced requires time and experience. Sure, a legal system can learn from others and adapt some general guidlines but to be nuanced it requries precedents and histroical depth of the political and social entity of which it is a part of.

I have been to several European countries but only as a tourist so its hard for me to really understand the differences, if there are any meaningfull ones.
Are there perhaps some resources that help make such comparisons? some framework that puts it all in perspective?
Europe is definately richer and more organized but is it really because of a certain mentality? and if it is what composes it? Is it on an individual level or on a systemic level that is only very loosely connected to how individuals behave and think?

Actually hard working people, strong middle class and total ignorance of most socialist laws everywhere but in the government. At least in Czech republic.Combine it with generally high level of education at industrial schools and voilá.
Not sure how much small-scale stealing matters, since everyone does it (if you don't steal from the state you're robbing your family).

It wasn't wrecked, it was boosted through war. Winning does that. That said, Europe lost its empires.

Only Germany was wrecked but it was rebuilt with help.

>the international banking sector is controlled by rich and powerful Jews in London and New York who manipulate wars to profit from them

Yeah seems fair enough

>The solution is to kill all the impoverished illiterate Jews in dirtpoor mudhut villages in Ukraine and Belarus, even the elderly women and children

Yea-- Wait what? What was he trying to accomplish? Any Jews he could feasibly make an argument against would have left by then, he was just slaughtering innocent civilians who just happened to be born Jewish. How could he justify this? What was his rationale

WW2 era roles around. Germany conquers France. Gotcha. My question is how did the Germans control the massive overseas French Empire? Its not like Frenchmen living in those lands had Germany right next door? Did the colonies go on as business is usual?

Of course there are, but there are very few who publish book length works on the subject that at least purport to be historical works.

>Isolated fighting continued until the evening. Even after the battle had clearly turned against the Turks, groups of janissaries kept fighting to the last. It is said that at some point the Janissaries ran out of weapons and started throwing oranges and lemons at their Christian adversaries, leading to awkward scenes of laughter among the general misery of battle

Turks got BTFO hard

>The centers clashed, with such force that Ali Pasha's galley drove into the Real as far as the fourth rowing bench, and hand-to-hand fighting commenced around the two flagships, between the Spanish tercio infantry and the Turkish janissaries. When the Real was nearly taken, Colonna came alongside with the bow of his galley and mounted a counter-attack. With the help of Colonna, the Turks were pushed off the Real and the Turkish flagship was boarded and swept. The entire crew of Ali Pasha's flagship was killed, including the commander himself. The banner of the Holy League was hoisted on the captured ship, breaking the morale of the Turkish galleys nearby.

The rising sun flag was the flag used during WW2. To Asians it's no different from a Nazi flag. But how come people feel uncomfortable about using a Nazi flag, but not the rising sun flag?
