>Why not just stick with the MG-34?
Because the MG-34 was expensive and complicated to produce. The MG-42 was developed as a stamped variant of it that could be mass produced easier, and its much higher ROF was a happy coincidence that they didn't plan on.

Gunners only ever fired bursts anyways.

Why was Islam able to unite under one empire but Christianity never could?

But it did. For a while. The Roman Empire had Christianity as the state religion.

it dident for long just like the roman empire
I bet you also believe the Islamic golden age meme too.
>>
>>2130158
Islam seeks to set up an "Islamic society" and has laws written as for how a Muslim ruler should lead. Christianity doesn't and focuses more on ones personal connection with God instead.

You have been tasked with completely redrawing the map of Europe, with Russia fallen to communists, The Ottomans, Austro-Hungarians and Germans beaten it's up to you to adequately dismantle their respective empires for stability, peace and long lasting prosperity. What do you do?

Basic rules:
You can't fuck with non participants, no dismantlement of Spain. You can change their territory, but it needs to be agreeable to them, so say if you take the Canary Islands you need to give them a suitable amount of land back.
It's pretty much too late to save Russia, the only way to ensure they stay Tsarist is to prop up a strong Germany and Austria who will defend the regime there, otherwise it's commie.

combine germany and AH into "Holy" "Roman" "Empire". Sarcasm quotes must be kept in official name, finger quotes must be used in all vocal designations (""HRE"" is an acceptable abbreviation).

ottomans cede jereselam to the Zoroastrians as an independent city state and are forced to rename istanbul back to constantinople, but otherwise no other changes

Why was Slavery so prevalent in Ancient times ? Why was it so hard to acknowledge other people as Humans with rights ? One must have a total lack of empathy to think that submitting others into a life of servitude is no big deal, even a justifiable thing. Does that mean all people at the time were sociopaths with no sense of empathy ?
When you look at different cultures, you notice there are some things that are universally condemned : stealing, lying, murder, incest, adultery... But somehow, slavery was perfectly acceptable. Why so ?

Because it got your people more stuff for free at a time when being fed through the winter wasn't always guaranteed.

And when your two clans fight each other sense "forever" its going to leave you with a taste of disgust for them.
>>
>implying slavery went away just because your masters now give you tokens to buy food and widgets from businesses they own anyway
>>
>>2126720
It's because nothing is wrong with slavery. No major religion or moral code from the ancient world forbids slavery in most if it's forms. The wrong thing, I suppose, would be how you treat your slaves. Not that they're slaves per say.

>Swedish invaders robbed the Commonwealth of its most important riches, and most of the stolen items never returned to Poland
>Warsaw, the capital of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, was completely destroyed by the Swedes, and out of a pre-war population of 20,000, only 2,000 remained in the city after the war
>According to the 2012 Polish estimates, financial losses of Poland are estimated at 4 billion zlotys. Swedish invaders completely destroyed 188 cities and towns, 81 castles, and 136 churches in Poland

He's actually fairly decent. Developed firearm and pipe tactics in Japan around the same time Europeans did. Understood and utilized psychology to maximize the efficiency of his levies. Reworked his power structure to a merit based system rather than a traditional one.
