Because we are totally better than the people of the past. We can do what they failed at just because.

how many people are actually for marxism? or actualy communism aside from 'well wouldn't that be nice if we could all get along...'

most marxist academics i've known and read papers by wouldn't call themselves communist or marxist in a political sense and often only use it as a term to say 'here i'm going to analyse this thing looking mainly at class structures and maybe a sprinkling of marx's dialectic will show through'

He was also the only good Albanian ever.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Castle_Itter

You could literally make a dark comedy out of this

>Troops of the 23rd Tank Battalion of the 12th Armored Division of the US XXI Corps led by Captain John C. "Jack" Lee, Jr., a number of Wehrmacht soldiers, a Waffen SS officer who defected, and recently freed French POWs defended Castle Itter against an attacking force from the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division until relief from the American 142nd Infantry Regiment of the 36th Division of XXI Corps arrived.

The French prisoners included former prime ministers, generals and a tennis star. It may have been the only battle in the war in which Americans and Germans fought side-by-side. Popular accounts of the battle have called it the "strangest" battle of World War II.

Everytime the Chinese fought on the Yangzte & Yellow Rivers.

The two rivers are amongst the biggest rivers of their kind in terms of diameter (thickness? width) and depth. Basically you can sail a fleet of ships there. They still do.

In Chinese history, every time an army tries to cross the river, they needed ships to do this. And a lot of times this leads to the enemy army hearing wind of this and goes out to intercept them, with their own army & navy.

What happens next is a combo of naval & land battles. Amphibious warfare basically. You had the opposing armies lining the shores of the river and between them their navies. The navy dukes it out first on the river or fights the enemy navy while troopships and ferries try to ferry their troops to the other bank...only to fight those guys on the other bank.

Riverine amphibious combat had a huge influence on the Chinese naval thinking: among them their propensity to put artillery on ships and focus on bombardment rather than rely on meme boarding like compared to many other peoples of the world. This was largely done to support troop landings and attack shore-based fortifications, but eventually proved handy versus other ships. Also led to them being the first entities to put cannons on ships.

The most famous of the riverine amphibious battles of course was Red Cliffs during the Three Kingdoms period. The biggest and the worst was the battle of Lake Poyang between the Ming Dynasty and enemy claimants to the throne, which really was a running Amphibious battle across the Yangtze that ended in the lake, involving around 400,000-600,000 soldiers and sailors. Which was also unique because the battle is basically a combination of Amphibious & Siege warfare as the Ming Navy's objective was to ferry soldiers to relieve the siege of Nanchang.

Poland was a shithole through most of its history, it just got lucky it took developed German provinces and got rid of underdeveloped eastern provinces in 1945

Maybe not similar standards of living. But their culture and mentality wouldn't be tainted by Russianness.

It was the opposite you retard. Prussia was lucky to grab developed Polish lands, especially Greater Poland.

They could have somehow been confusing them with the Vandals - the name might sound like 'Angles' if only half-listening/half-remembered. And the Vandals ended up with a kingdom in north Africa, but were not themselves from north Africa.

Just guessing.

France was always more focused on land warfare so their navy never got the money it needed to reach its full potential.

But they took out an entire fleet with a cavalry charge once.

>France was always more focused on land warfare so their navy never got the money it needed to reach its full potential.
This, when you're "surrounded" by Spain, Italy, England and the various germanic states, you bet you're going to focus on land warfare. Besides, it also means that whatever you have your eyes on can be reached by land, so why bother getting a navy really?

>>1944470
Because the French can walk anywhere that matters.

Take any Central/Eastern European "nation" and you can bet most of it was made up in the 19th century

Not to say these cultures weren't built on history, customs, legends, language, etc. but a lot of it was constructed at a time when Romantic nationalism was the coolest thing around and these people were trying hard to assert themselves within large, multiethnic empires

>>1944208
In the case of the Balkans primary sources seem to disagree, as the Ottoman empire was actively suppressing, not promoting national identity among its subjects.
There was a small revival movement among the people living in modern Bulgaria, and some joined in, but if you examine the sizes of their revolts against the sultan (their rebel armies were a couple to several hundred men in size) you can see they were a minority - the volunteers or drafted forces sent to crush these rebellions, which were people from that same area, were ten times larger in size.
The Bulgarian identity it seems then was created, or at least greatly exaggerated and enhanced, by the russian pan-slavic idea. Thats how modern bulgarians ended up as more russian, instead of more thracian, in their understanding of history and culture. They were made up in Russia, not in Turkey.

>>1944182
i don't think you can slavifie that many Turks that quickly

is there a serious basis for this theory beyond anonymous posts on a Bhutanese beef futures exchange forum? Because I'd like to read it.
