/his/ I need your honest opinion of this man.
Naive retard as lord of the admiralty, shrewd and intelligent post WW1
Old fox, living stereotype of perfidious Anglo, but unless you're autistic Hitlerboo you can't but like him somewhat.
>>1971105
A retard.
Probably cost tens of thousands of extra dead Anglos due to his stupidity.
Was the scimmy the best sword? If not what do you think is the best?
Also aesthetic scimmy thread
>>1971071
A Scimitar is a western blanket term for all the single edged, often curved swords they never understood.
So it covers a whole fucking range of weapons.
I don't think those super curved swords are very aesthetic 2bh.
>>1971119
Imo its the best looking sword I may be biased tho because im arab
Hi, what are your thoughts on this channel?
Is it a good start if you want to learn about WWI history?
Yes. It's incredibly well researched and gives you all sorts of fantastic little details about the war.
/his/ will hate it though as it's popular
>>1970823
I like it
>>1971120
>It's incredibly well researched
Its literally copy-pasting from a total of like 8 books.
>tfw you will never be a Bashkir switchman near the town Ust' Katav on the Yuryuzan River between Ufa and Cheliabinsk in the Ural Mountains region, c. 1910

Maybe the poor guy probably got drafted in the army four years latter and gunned down in East Prussia.
Or he was executed by either the Red and White Army. Or deported by Stalin.
And even if he survived all that, 1941 comes and he or his children get drafted and sent to fight the Nazis.
>ywn be a machinist in 1930s Moscow drinking yourself to death when your shift ends because you're too repulsive to get married to Olga, your shift manager that bosses you around and emasculates you while implying you'll be sent to the gulag if you don't meet that months quota for gear boxes

Whats your favorite historical republic, and why?
Here is a map of a union of many republics.

Why did nuclear powers not use nuclear weapons vs non-nuclear powers except for Japan in WW2? Like USSR in Afghanistan, USA in VIetnam or initial stages of Korean war, etc?
UFOs
>>1970615
That would be mad.
>>1970624
What exactly can a non-nuclear state launch vs nuclear-armed state? Pebbles?
Can you give me the best pics of german soldier around year 1815?
ok, then, austrian soldiers perhaps?
okay /his/ time for the discussion that will put the nail in the coffin for this argument.
Is there actually ANY ideological difference between fascism and communism?
Yes.
Even bothering to ask the question shows that you know little about the subject. There are superficial similarities between totalitarian socialism and fascism, but ideologically they are extremely distinct.
>>1970527
elaborate, friendo.
Childhood is when you idolize the Roman Empire. Adulthood is when you realize the Byzantine Empire makes more sense.
istanbul not constantinople ok praise allah
>rome≠byzantium
That can be interpreted in a number of ways
>Childhood when you idolize the Eastern Roman Empire
>Adulthood when you realise that western historians were right and that sorry greek heretic state has no claim for that name praise Pope and Charlemagne ok

Can someone tell me what this painting is portraying?
How come western Europe never adopted lamellar during the middle-ages?
because brigandine uses the same construction concept and does it better.
>>1969981
Plate armor is more suitable for the environment and type of warfare in Western Europe. Poland uses both.
>>1969981
Because armoring your joints is nice.
How did the ancient Greeks reconcile their general distaste for women with the fact that their favorite god was one?
>>1969885
>ancient Greeks
I think you mean Athenians
>>1969911
Athenians corner the market on Athena loving and women hating, but no everybody loved Athena. Even the Spartans I believe considered her their main god.
>>1969885
Because Athena was their perfect waifu who was the smartest and the wisest and the best fighter and super pretty.
Not like Stacyaea who is a total whore and douche boyfriend Chadicles.
Can someone help me understand Nelson's tactics at trafalgar and how the British manage to pull a win? He basically sailed with two line ahead lines right into the French/Spanish T. LIke I look at the map and it should make sense thatFrance and Spain should be able to let loose on their guns and destroy the British ships.
Is there some other tactic at play I am not understanding? How did the British manage to pull a win here?
>>1969859
>How did the British manage to pull a win here?
They had God on their side.
>>1969867
Aight. Please dont be goofy. K thanx.
>>1969859
>Is there some other tactic at play I am not understanding?
Yes. In seeking to find the most advantageous formation, Admirals in the age of sail had lost sight of why formations are so important in teh first place, command and control. The whole advantage of a formation is that a well-drilled fleet will know exactly where the flagship is and exactly where to look for orders via signal flags. If the flagship or the ability to perceive commands is removed from the formation, it cannot serve its purpose and it certainly can't respond to another formation adequately, no matter how advantageous its theoretical situation.
Nelson realized this, and so he prioritized disabling the enemy command and control (i.e. the flagship at the center of the fleet) over finding an advantageous formation. By removing command and control, all the benefits of a formation were negated, and this loss of coordination was exacerbated by a lack of experience on the part of the French and Spanish Sailors. Without somebody to give orders, the two ends of the Franco-iberian formation were not able to coordinate their wings and double up on the British battle line, or to respond effectively in any way at all.
tl;dr the enemy's gate is down.
