>The Yugoslav government estimated the number of casualties to be at 1,704,000 and submitted the figure to the International Reparations Commission in 1946 without any documentation.[77] The figure included war related deaths but also the expected population if war did not break out, the number of unborn children, and losses from emigration and disease.[78] The same figure was later submitted to the Allied Reparations Committee in 1948 but was claimed to be only from war related deaths.[78] After Germany requested verifiable data the Yugoslav Federal Bureau of Statistics created a nationwide survey in 1964.[78] The total number of those killed was found to be 597,323.[78] The list stayed a state secret until 1989 when it was published for the first time.[16]

Looks like a relatively moderate number

Because Croats killed 700 000 Serbs

Sorry if this seems a little retarded, by the way. It's mostly because I am a little retarded.

>At the time, were knighthoods hereditary?
Almost all knights were landed knights, a knight is both a job and a patrician title although it was the lowest rank among the nobility. The son of a knight would have started martial training at a young age, then as an adolescent serve as a squire to another knight. When he came of age he could be knighted himself if he so desired, but not all did. Many chose to remain squires their whole lives out of financial necessity.

>How would a "normal" (not a knight or peer) become a knight?
the term was commoner, and they could get knighted through distinguishing themselves in combat, however you needed to have means to accept a knighthood since it came with obligations of military service, but you were expected to furnish your own horse, arms and armor. So a mere commoner would not realistically be able to accept such an offer unless they had also made a significant amount of money from looting or came from a well off family. Many in the English army who distinguished themselves during the hundred years war would rather accept gifts instead of titles for distinguished service, that would allow advancement from say a longbowman to a mounted archer, or man at arms to sergeant at arms. These ranks were really more about what kind of equipment you could afford to bring with you than anything else.

>Could a lesser peer (Baron, for example) grant a knighthood, or is that something only the ruling monarch could do?
lesser nobles had the right to declare their own vassals

>What sort of station would the close family members of a knight be granted? What sort of life would they lead?
varied greatly depending on the size and value of the knight's estate

>>2211791
Ah right, that's really helpful, cheers.

On the matter of the value of a knights estate, what would it be likely to range from? From a lower end to a higher end?

Oh, and another thing I forgot to ask, could a knight be promoted to the peerage?

This sounds like homework

Nah, I'm just brainstorming for the inevitable civil/world war that I am anticipating. Once Trump leads us into war, I don't want to be left behind as a poorfagroup. Trump will be profiting, and I want to profit with him.

So, I'm thinking defense companies like General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin will have a demand to fill, Boeing will make airplanes, gun companies will be profiting by increased demand for guns...I'm sure some tech companies that create drones and hacking software will be involved.

But what else has happened, historically, that has caused profit from war? Did the Union profit from the confederacy? Was Japan hoping to to have anot economic boom after getting involved in wwii? I just want to start a discussion

Currency volatility, playing markets based on the lesser amount of resources being produced from that country.

It is:

>a good risk/reward profile, but not AMAZING

>there are actually millions of people that do it from all over the world

>hedge funds tend to only play commodity fluctutions from war

>corporations do compete for federal funding of military equipment and people bet stock on who wins

>most people betting directly on arms fluctations are individual investors

To me, the point seems to be to leave behind some sort of legacy. In the case of most animals, or 'life the biological phenomenon' its purely the continuation of your genetics through offspring. If we're considering human life however, its more complicated. Sure the biological aspect is one option, but then you are no better than other lower beast. Surely, truely significant legacy, outside of the biological, as in artistic, scientific or social legacy is something unique to humanity and what one should strive for. To have a lasting effect on human civilization in one of theses three ways, to achieve something that puts you in the history books, never to be forgotten, for your epitaph to breath forthe knowledge to those of the future that will never know you. Legacy in culture. Is that the point? Is that the meaning of life?

Yeah OHL needed to put out a peace deal as soon as the Russians collapsed before the Americans arrived.

But they were too autistic about reaching a honorable deal that they chimped out with a all out offensive that failed and then the Americans arrived anyways.
