We have geniuses today too. The only thing that's changed is the prominence of orchestral compositions.

I dunno son, maybe cuz they had big ass guns and the Africans didn't?

>>1211244
Verily, the difference of posterior firearm caliber was sufficient to render any resistance futile.

What little ass guns the Africans had were of little use, and what 8" ass guns they captured from the Europeand they had no munitions for.

as well as better logistics, institutions, funding, managers, politicians, science and technology and so on

>Monotheistic religions on the other hand always spreaded like a virus. Christianity immediately infected the enitre Roman empire and populations beyond its borders.

And folk chinese. And Shinto.
>Monotheistic religions on the other hand always spreaded like a virus.

Notice how everyone on the right is a filthy anglo

Persia had the largest empire by proportion of the global human population. I don't know anything about the blood thirsty conquerors who helped build it though.

What about Cortes and Pizarro by the way? Any estimates?

Victorian England was the largest by land area and population, but it wasn't contiguous.

Why right now?

oh fug i never knew it

i am now #ringforming

What exactly is a sphere of influence?

Natural rights are a joke.

"No man lives to himself, no man dies to himself."

It's right there in the Bible.

No, you should stop them. Yes should fucking save them.

Your argument is meme tier. All weapons have strengths and weaknesses. Swords were fantastic weapons up until most soldiers started to wear extensive metal armor. If the sword wasn't meant to be a viable weapon we wouldn't have seen it evolve along with the armor into things like the tapered arming sword and the incredibly pointy estoq.

What possessed you to make this thread

Polearms were replaced by bayonets while swords were still around in the form of sabers.There is also the matter of combat at a closer distance or when there is less room to maneuver, and in those situations the polearm user will typically lose. idk the exact historical contexts in which that happened, but that's how it works.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bozgor? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Wallachian militia, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Hungary, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top rock sniper in the entire wallachian peasant forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the mail? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of gypsies across Romania and your Adress is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Wallachian farmers shed and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

>Really makes you think, huh?

Not really...?

Understandable but disproportionate

In essence, it was a prank that went way too far

>>1215144
Fuck Ulster, the land used to be Catholic and now they want to bully the people who believed it.
IRA is correct, but still a fuck up because they didn't remove the faggot protestants.

>>1215154

In what regard would you call it becoming disproportionate? Just out of interest

It would be a bullshit list filled with generalised pop-history.

Ask for books on a topic on /lit/ or /his/; pray someone who know their shit will respond.

I dislike essential readings, they are most often meme books

About the only field seminal texts I can think of are Whig Theory, Carr's What is History, and Thompson's Making.
