>Clark, who led last year’s expedition to the Afar region of northern Ethiopia, and UC Berkeley colleague Tim D. White, also said that a re-examination of a 300,000-year-old fossil skull found in the same region earlier shows evidence of having been scalped.

Jesus had crucifixion lite compared to others who spent days on the fucking thing.

Germany probably would've had a much higher chance to win.

Russia would've won in a one-on-one war against Austria-Hungary, Germany was the only reason they were able to stay in the war at all. I think Austria-Hungary would've collapsed within a year and then Germany and Russia would've been able to divert all their resources to fighting France.

This map gave Montenegro half of Bosnia.
Montenegro is 7 times smaller than Serbia.

Anyway, Bulgaria would surely be on the side of Russia and Germany in such a scenario.

Serbia and Austria being on the same side assumes several things:
1)There is no dynastic coup in 1903
2)The king of Serbia has an heir
3)The king of Serbia probably marries someone else.
4)Austria doesn't support the creation of Albania after the first Balkan war, and it's controlled by Montenegro, Serbia and Greece.

Let's assume Italy joins Germany and Russia during the war. Istria, Fiume e Dalmazia! Also, Nice.

I think Germany and Russia would have won.
They'd absolutely mop the floor with Austria-Hungary. Austria can't take on Russia 1v1, and they don't have the means to hold a front that large.


In wake of A-H defeat Serbia would probably get off scot free, and might ever switch sides and be rewarded with Austria territory in exchange for half of Macedonia. Vojvodina and Bosnia for half of Macedonia seems like quite the bargain.
Then again, assuming it controls Albania the half of Macedonia in question would have already been Bulgarian.

France would bleed.
I don't see France and Britain winning with Germany, Russia and Italy.

>>2073334
Essentially this. The West and Austria have nothing going for them. They are divided by Germany and Austria is the weakest of the great powers so it won't even last a year. To make matters worse Italy will certainly join and has nothing to gain by joining Austria the same could be said of Romania. Combine all that and you have France and Britain fighting pretty much all of Europe. They might last for a few years but it is highly unlikely that they could defeat Germany and co. in a prolonged war since Russia can easily support itself and likely much of its allies with farming.

I don't get it. Germany ignored Bismarck's opinion on AL and they couldn'teven bother to treat Alsacians like proper Germans.

I barely know anyone else except his cuckold baby, Beauharnais, and meme Ney.

Ney, easily
Dude was far from the best, but he was definitly the bravest

>Napoleon left Moscow on October 19th with roughly 100,000 men. On November 3 it began to snow, and Napoleon gave Ney command of the 6,000 man rearguard.

>Throughout the retreat, Ney’s energy and courage were equaled by his tactical ingenuity. Musket in hand, he led countless charges. On one night march, a wagon went through the ice and a survivor could be seen clinging to the wreckage. Ney himself crawled along the ice to pull him out of the icy water. Recognizing the rescued officer, Ney said matter of factly “Ah…de Briqueville, glad we got you out!”

>The retreat went on and on, and eventually, Ney had only 100 men left. With these, Ney and General Gerard held the bridge at Kovno while it was being destroyed. Imperial Guardsman Jean Coignet described what happened. “Marshal Ney kept the enemy at bay by his own bravery. I saw him take a musket and five men and hold the bridge at Kovno. The country should be glad it has such a man.

>And so, on December 13th, the skeletal remains of the Grand Armee left Russian soil. The last man to cross into East Prussia was Michel Ney.

>At Waterloo Ney again commanded the left wing of the army. At around 3:30 p.m., Ney ordered a mass cavalry charge against the Anglo-Allied line.
>Ney was seen during one of the charges beating his sword against the side of a British cannon in furious frustration.

>During the battle, he had five horses killed under him; and at the end of the day, Ney led one of the last infantry charges, shouting to his men: "Come and see how a marshal of France meets his death!".

Even his execution was badass

How so? It is the most aesthetic, whilst structurally sound.

The Romanesque-Gothic line of architecture is my absolute favorite, but it's also the most prone to bring overdone, which kills it.
