We must prepare the coming for the Ubermensch.

>>1546108
Anyone can be an Ubermensch.
The mark of Ubermensch is the repression of his own, inherently natural, negative traits and the sharpening and development of his poisitive ones.

t. never read Nietzsche

Actually Adolf Lincoln stopped slavery, even though most Southerners already frowned upon the institution (which was already was rapidly disappearing anyway)

Actually if you look up how many abolitionists and free blacks were beaten to death by northern mobs, you'll realize the North was probably the more racist of the two powers

Well, for starters, most infantry lines, even in late antiquity, weren't perfectly solid. ESPEICALLY when you were facing a coalition of some sort or say, the Achmaenid empire. Usually, the contingent from one city or district or whatever would have its own little unit, and it would be placed next to the next city/district, and there'd be a bit of a gap between them, which was also useful for letting lighter troops filter in and out in front of your infantry.

If you want to try to slip in a gap between two formations, obviously the narrower wedge will do better than a line or a double line.

Secondly, if you're using some sort of ranged weapon, even just a thrown axe or javelin, it enables easier concentration at a single point, since your men on the outer edges can throw in, while still having a more or less clear and straightforward line of vision at the target, and not having to turn around to throw at "that guy over there". Also, because you know where your guy at the tip is, and that's going to be the point of impact at a charge, it eases coordination as to where you should throw that weapon; if you're in a double line, it's less clear where the leader is and where the point of contact is going to be.

Lastly, it means that if you're trying to force your way through a narrow point in the enemy line, you'll have a small bit of contact initially. When you have a bunch of horses charging, it's not all that easy to turn around; and if you start in a line, you've got to keep charging in that line, or your own people are going to slam into each other, which is bad. A wedge allows to conserve the momentum of your charging speed, and focus it over a narrower area.

> Hitler let the british escape on purpose so he could make peace with britain but churchill wouldn't have it

You're an imbecile. Hitler followed the advice of his field commanders like Rundstedt and Kleist on purely military grounds.

>
For example on wikipedia in *literally* every WW2 battle article you have a paragraph clearly stating the outcome of the engagement the artice is dealing with, but with this one they removed the "decisive german victory" (which is 100% true btw) and just censored/replaced it with "territorial changes: succesfull allied evacuation".

And this is different from other successful withdrawals how exactly? Dynamo's purpose was to get the army out. They did this. Germany didn't want Dunkirk because the beach was nice, it's only importance was the Allies pocket there. You'll note that for the overall listing for the Battle of France, you do get a decisive German victory.

>Even outside wikipedia allied historians are afraid of admitting the truth and euphemistically refer to it as a "successful evcation" or "victory in defeat". What the fuck?

You do realize you can have successful operations in the context of a larger strategic defeat, yes? That's like saying that Gazala was a British win, because they won the North African campaign, or that Operation Mars was a successful offensive, because Uranus broke the German lines at the same time.

>Hitler let the british escape on purpose so he could make peace with britain but churchill wouldn't have it
Wouldn't it have made it a bit easier for Germany to force a peace with Britain if they had captured the BEF at Dunkirk?

>>1545864

Noone has ever said that Dunkirk was a massive, grand victory. The ENTIRE point of it is a heroic rescue attempt by dozens of tiny ships to snatch as many men out of the jaws of death as possible, while a huge battle rages around them.

>>1545830
Because it was the richest place per capita in the history of Earth.

This. Sacking Constantinople, menacing its fellow Italian city-states, and aggressively raiding Muslim trade routes allowed Venice to emerge as a center for unparalleled wealth.

Yagyuu Jubei was the greatest samurai.

He was just a smart man who knew how to use his opponent's weaknesses against them in one-on-one duels.

He probably wouldn't be nearly as well known if he also wasn't a decent writer either. So to answer your question, sort of but not really.

>>1545757
Is there even evidence that he actually existed?

Do some pederasty

>>1545700
I've been imagining this exact same scenario for months except I existed during the fall of the Han dynasty.
I still have no definite idea what to do but it inspired me to read a whole lot of books on China and early science so I consider it one of the greatest wastes of time in my life.

I think it was Marcus Crassus. He would've been worth over a trillion dollars. Also this >>1545657

If you are interested then i would not recommend asking someone here, for general information rather read some books on it.

A History of the Vikings by Gwyn Jones

The Impact of the Scandinavian Invasions on the Celtic Speaking Peoples by Brian Cuiv

and Viking Age Iceland by Jesse Byock

those are pretty good.

The sagas themselves are also a wonderful way to learn about them.
