The age of exploration or the industrial revolution?

Industrial Revolution. The really are only two periods in human history. Before and after the Industrial revolution. It changed literally everything.
The invention of agriculture
Bismarck should have conquered Austria.
Austrians are a Germanic people.. Their language, life style, cuisine, music, and so on. Austrian culture is very much German, and core Austria could have been easily integrated into Germany.
Besides, Austria was a rich, powerful player in Europe, and deposing that country by annexing its core territories, and creating puppet states such as Hungary and Croatia in other territories then held by Austria, would geopolitically benefit the newly born German nation, in that Germany would directly control more resources (territory, farmlands, Austrian businesses) and have a number of puppet allies in Central Europe.
The unification was an unstopable trainwreck and Prussia, altogether with the other Germanic states, had enough power to overthtrow Austria.
Why didn't he do it, and what do you think of the possibility of it having been tried?

How did Ancient Greeks do to get HUGE?
Surely they didn't have bench presses nor any kind of modern strength training apparatus, so what did they use appart from bodyweight training?
>>1090505
Rocks, logs, armour, arms.

Sports.

They are always poorly organized,and even when they have better equipment and the numbers advantage they usually perfom horribly bad.

Blacks have had gangs in the USA for decades and not a single of these gangs have been exterminated yet by an opposition force.
Blacks are a clusterfuck when it comes to warfare as they barely strategize in fights thats why they shoot you but dont actually plan how the murder carefully leading to the ridiculous circumstances where a driveby shooting ends with NO ONE DEAD but MULTIPLE INJURED. Just as how they carelessly try to kill you they will also do this in war either mindlessly attack you or run away. Most african tribal wars had no strategy at all its just a game of who can get out with the least spears in their tribesmen.
>>1090403
You mean when most had stones and machetes at the most and we're largely undernourished peasants vs a highly trained and equipped militarized police and military population?

Gomenasai, my name is William-Sama.
I’m a 36 year old English Anjin (Navigator for you gaijins). I plot courses on my charts, and spend my days perfecting my map-reading and playing superior Nipponese games. (Hanafuda, Mahjong, Janken)
I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my scroll of sword mastery two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.
I speak Nipponese fluently, both Kanji and the Kyushu dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Nipponese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%
When I get my Nipponese Red Seal, I am moving to Edo to attend a prestigious Academy to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a vassal to the Shogun or a merchant!
I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Nippon, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Nipponese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.
Wish me luck in Nippon!

From 'Zoroastrian Saviour Imagery and its Influence on the New Testament'
>"The title Sosyant can be translated Redeemer or Saviour, and the form of the word shows that the work of the figure lies in the future. The title is used both in the plural and singular forms in the Hymns of Zoroaster [...] Nevertheless in the singular it definitely refers to the eschatological saviour who will be born of a virgin at the end of the world, but who will also be a son of Zoroaster. His task is to restore the world, which involves defeat of the demons, raising the dead, assembling men for judgement, and the administration of the same. All this means a return to the primeval state which existed before the assault of Ahriman"
What are you favorite legends of Greek mythology?

You mean "myths", not "legends". Why do you think it is a MYTHOLOGY?

Your opinion about Foucault?
>>1089500
I'm still forming my opinion of him and his material. I'll get back to you in about 10 years.
his ideas were adopted into collegiate debate and the competition is now beyond repair, fucking structuralists
>>1089500
He looks like Uncle Fester
Learned today that Hitler is basically responsible for the Olympics being so big and popular today. Does anybody have any other actual good things that Hitler did? No jokes my dudes, your anti-semitism isn't what I'm asking for.
He taught the world that shouldering a nation with a debt it won't be able to pay for generations is how you seed the earth for authoritarian rule and appeasement doesn't work.

Well... You're not wrong.
Built autobahns

Can a Knight/Warrior/Whatever wield a Two-handed sword while armed with a shield?
By shield I am not talking something ridiculously big like a Kite shield, but something smaller like a Heater shield. Would it provide any positive attributes from melee or projectile attacks?
>>1089161
this seems like a /k/ thread
also bastard swords
>>1089164
>this seems like a /k/ thread
if you look closely, it's actually a /v/ thread
>>1089161
yeah sure why not they where not that heavy.
Its also fucking stupid, technically you could also go into battle duel wielding halberds but you never see a knigger doing that.
'Greatswords' in general where a niche as fuck weapon, the drain on your stamina having a greatsword and a shield at once is not worth the questionable gain of doing so. Making a sword a bit larger and heavier doesn't magically let it go through armour, it would still remain pretty shit at dealing with armoured opponents like all swords.
How did this clusterfuck happen?

Question /his/
How often have people rose up to those in power? I see a lot of individuals killing others and claiming god or shit knows, either that's a fear tactic or individuals being themselves. But not the other way of individuals acting out? Either way why did MLK JFK ETC get killed yet I see Trump, Koch, ETC walking around with millions having sub par living conditions even death faced daily. ?
>>1088955
Try that again in English, please.
>it's a thinly disguised "I hate Trump" thread
nah mother fuckers it's an attempt to explain our desire for our own lives rather than those around us. it's not an i hate trump cuz i don't give a fuck it's a joke around here lifes good ya know.
It's just the magnitude of the fuck that humanity has done is like jesus what a circle
way to see eye to eye there.
