Do any of you guys know what Japanese soldiers did to avoid this problem? Like in-field solutions.

At the risk of sounding like a weeb, Japan does contribute a hell of a lot to the world today.

Yes, the IRA.

Maybe Gaelic-Norman, But actual Irish i'm not sure to be honest, the Irish were far more concerned fighting each other than to care what the Muslims and the mainland European Christians were up to. Although there certainly would have been many Irish mercenaries working for both the Europeans and Muslims.

The Irish Kingdoms didn't really have sufficiently sophisticated apparatus of state to organise crusades. Plus the Normans were a much more immediate concern than some dune coons half a world away.

There were individual Irish crusaders. I remember reading about one in Daniel Ross's History of Ireland. Art Ó Ruairc or something.

So, the Irish Kingdoms didn't crusade, but yes there were Irish crusaders.

Looks like it might restrict movement a lot?

This is with very little padding below the mail, one layer of wool and one layer of linen. A gambeson or similar can be worn over the mail to increase padding.

This is him in a position that is pretty demanding for the arm and armpit.

Well, it could (and has been) argued that the various saint's cults in Northern Europe were a holdover from earlier pagan beliefs.

Furthermore you have the continuing importance of pagan festivals like Hallowe'en and Christmas.

It depends on where you are and how far after conversion youre talking about. Even though a king or lord might adopt a new religion, its going to take a while for everyone to. It can take decades, even centuries for everyone to adopt a religion.
That said, you have to keep in mind too that alot of times people of the time period equated paganism with satanism and withcraft. So when you see someone talking about pagan practices in a primary source, it very well could just be meaningless slander.

Depends. Middle Ages is a long time, and depends a lot on where you were. I know the Irish law codes gave druids the ability to grant protection and some other big rights until just before the Viking age.

Because we know much more about Greek and Roman mythology. Because it was the mythology of the cultures which had the biggest impact on Europe. No one knows hardly anything about Celtic mythology, or Slavic. Germanic is cool but Christianity kind of put people off it.

>>1062015
Are you retarded?

Most western fantasy is explicit Tolkein inspired who stole all of his mythology from Germanic and Celtic folklore.

History is pretty much free now in China.

That is: anything that's below the 20th Century. A lot of limits are set on the history China in that period.

Though the past 20 years there have been some changes.

Didn't it occur to ChiCom apparatchiks that you can politicize pre-20th century historiography just as well?

He recognized the challenges of the tomorrow and was quick to act upon them today, even if in a rather heavy handed manner. He was not always successful (his attempt at curbing stagflation through price controls was a sensational failure) but he did what he could facing a hostile congress and media. His personality faults which led to his eventual political downfall is the type of stuff epic tragedies are made of.

At least he didn't assassinate JFK.

He committed treason to get into power, then abused his power to stay in it.

He was intelligent and far-seeing, but his flaws were what undid him.

People don't care about this, as evidenced by the amount of replies to this thread.

I think it says "Drop your feces in a hole that can properly get rid of them"

Maybe one day we will discover a Rosetta Stone equivalent and figure this one out
