Have there been any significant or interesting events that involved mercenaries?
I already know of Carthage and her Mercenary War.

Oh, where mercenaries played a role bigger than just hired combatants.

That clears out a lot of conflicts.
>>
Some of England's success in the Hundred Years War can be attributed to the fact that after their initial bouts, mercenary groups known as grandes compagnies hired by both sides proceeded to completely ignore a temporary peace treaty between the two kings. So France just kinda continued being burned and pillaged willy-nilly for a decade or so before the official fighting began again.

Mercenaries were a huge part of European warfare until the last few hundreds years. By the end of the 30 years war only a small minority of Swedish army for example was even Swedish, rest were mercenaries.

Stalin.jpg

So I have always heard throughout my life that Stalin was ruthless and murdered those around him, including doctoring them out of photographs. Apparently (I don't know if this is true), he even died because the guards were too afraid to enter his room when he didn't come out.

But what I wish to know is, in what manner did Stalin sustain this power? Did he do it by simply making everyone scared that he might assassinate them? If this is the case, why didn't they simply form a coup of some sort (maybe they did)? Or was the reason that everyone around him actually liked him and the soldiers believed in the cause?

How exactly did he manage to sustain his power and create this fear?

Sorry if the question is boring but I don't know much about him.

He had the Soviet secret police, the NKVD do most of the dirty work.

Holy shit did the NKVD kill a lot of people.

According to their records, they executed 300,000 people in 1937.

The guy who ran the NKVD, Beria, got blamed for most of Stalin's crimes after Stalin died.

OP here, found this interesting clip, don't know if it's genuine:

Can it be argued that the head of the NKVD actually ran the Soviet Union?

You're going to have to be more specific.

Like Poland, Slovakia and Hungary are pretty good, Moldova and Ukraine have problems with Russians not being dead, Belarus is blissfully unaware that the USSR doesn't exist any more, Kosovo is just one large crime family, and Serbia is mad for getting the shit bombed out of them.

Were the 10 Sikh Gurus European? If not, why do they look so pale in this picture? Especially Guru Nanak, the one in the middle.

I've seen other paintings of them and I have not noticed any European traits. However I have seen the current Iranian ruler could fit perfectly in that depiction of the Holy Gurus. So, were they Persians by any chance?

Punjabs tend to be very pale. Had a Punjabi Sikh as a friend and while he had the typical northern Indian look his sister was very pale and looked almost Greek.

Lol couldn't you find another example to illustrate your point? Haha I'm joking.
