It was on the other side of an Ocean and the vikings had much closer and less isolated backwaters to drop their population surplus at.
There was also the Scraelings who while easy to BTFO was quite annoying.
I thinkthat we can agree that turkey amd balkan states are very similiar to each other after living together for so long but at which point would you say this level of similiarity was achieved ?

Seasonal warfare was part of their goddam economic model. They were the Nazis of the ancient world -- they had to pillage and plunder or collapse.

American president thread.
This president regarded himself as a bit of a sissy yet lead the 35th battalion in WW1 with none of his men dying and later authorized the dropping of the most powerful weapon one earth against japan.
What presidents do you find interesting?

need you ask? Pagans were persecuted almost continuously since the last years of Constantine's reign

Based on the writings of St. Augustine there were still a lot of Sol Invictus cultists around when western Rome fell. If there weren't that many left then he would have no reason to address them

Yo /his/ I'm looking for people in history that we're not entirely certain existed. To be specific, looking for people that have a similar case as Lycurgus of Sparta or Gilgamesh where they could have been a real person or a god.

This is how the banking system worked in Nazi Germany.
Under the National Socialists, Germany's money wasn't backed by gold (which was owned by the international bankers). It was essentially a receipt for labor and materials delivered to the government. Hitler said, "For every mark issued, we required the equivalent of a mark's worth of work done, or goods produced." The government paid workers in Certificates. Workers spent those Certificates on other goods and services, thus creating more jobs for more people. In this way the German people climbed out of the crushing debt imposed on them by the international bankers.
Within two years, the unemployment problem had been solved, and Germany was back on its feet. It had a solid, stable currency, with no debt, and no inflation, at a time when millions of people in the United States and other Western countries (controlled by international bankers) were still out of work. Within five years, Germany went from the poorest nation in Europe to the richest.
This economic freedom made Hitler extremely popular with the German people. Germany was rescued from English economic theory, which says that all currency must be borrowed against the gold owned by a private and secretive banking cartel - such as the Federal Reserve, or the central Bank of Europe - rather than issued by the government for the benefit of the people.

Christianity most serious attacks were 19th Century German liberal theologians and their accounts of the Bibles. Nietzsche and Darwin have pretty much zero to do with any damage on Christianity, except creationist museum variety.

He didn't really back this up with science.
But yeah, a reasonable amount of conscripts in previous conflicts either deliberately missed or simply didn't fire their weapons.
The combination of professional militaries and improved training regimens reduced this.
Honestly, I'm not sure it was ever a problem among professional soldiers, it's just that professional soldiers are more common these days.
