Because the Mongols assfucked the samurai in most engagements

And? Hannibal assfucked the Romans in most engagements. An open pitched battle is not all there is to warfare.

Are you an idiot?

I'd imagine the logistics of invading a mountainous island several hundred miles off shore were part of it. The storms probably didn't help

Bump pls guys I'm really curious who Rus really were.

Enclaves of the ancient Finnish empire after its fall

The people living around Kiev had trouble with other tribes and asked for help from some warlords coming from the stockholm peninsula around Birka, these then became kings and founded Kiev after BTFOing the hostile tribes, the russian royal family was descended from these as well

Well when your name is Dong...

He was chinese.

Read up on Alexander's campaigns against the Greek states and Persia. That should give you easy to swallow basics on the dynamics of fast and slow units working in concert with one another while also being entertaining because Alexander the Great.

They came up with Christianity which divided the empire and they would constantly chimp out in Egypt and Judea. Rome also caused the greatest butt hurt in all of history by naming the province Palestine.

Everything. Jews did Rome and everything else. Jews are the reason I dropped a shit and it touched my right nut this morning. Jews are the reason I'm so tired and the reason bugs get in the swimming pool. Fuck them.

They "broke down" because congress refused to give him the proper funding for the fleet's repair and fuel.

Once they did break down, it basically made congress do what Teddy wanted them to all along: pay up. Despite breaking down it also sent a message that Teddy wanted the world to know.

That message was that the United States of America had a presence in the Pacific. Meiji Japan, Russia, the British Empire, and many others all saw as Teddy Roosevelt moved the fleet well outside of what the world perceived to be the United States.

The white paint gave the symbol of peace though, and it only got a rise out of foreign politicians. Civilians all came out in number to witness it.

I like the move overall... just a dick move because if Obama did that today he'd be impeached

ancient china was a mess, vintage china was a mess, future china is going to be a mess

with the exception of imperial japan for about 20 years, no people in the history of earth give less a fuck about their neighbors, countrymen, humanity, or the planet than the chinese

China has always been the central power in the East, and long time ago was equal to or more sophisticated than western society, but fell behind in technology and science a long time ago. China being better than the west is a mostly a meme if you're past Roman times.

China will always be the strongest power in the East because of geography.

Between about 600 and 1200 AD, probably, though the Islamic world was about on par. Other than that, no, but they were always the best in East Asia until the 19th century.

Guns. Especially when they have bullets.

I'll probably regret that choice when they're pulling out my teeth in a basement, but not for long.

Well, having actually studied history, when looking at a work you need to more broadly consider the writer's motivations. It's not always as clear cut as "he was on x side which is why he wrote y", but there's an element of that in it.

what do you mean reinfused? like, the mixed vat was used to supply hospitals and stuff with generic "chinaman blood very terrific!" and not sorted by type or screened for disease?

All blood from the same village/town was pooled together, then reinfused to same village. Don't know if it was meant to have been mixed with anything else.
