yo his, here is my thesis what ways can I expand?

Thesis: The events within the Hundred Years’ War allowed for the power over the means of production, land and agriculture in this case, to shift away from the nobles to the peasants, and start England on the path to capitalism.

I'm talking about the Black Death, failing economy and the rise of the yeoman. any ideas?

Sure you aren't plagiarizing?

Also:

Define capitalism
Define Peasant

>>969933
I'm using Paul Sweezy's definition of capitalism:
(1) ownership of the means of production by private capitalists; (2) separation of the total social capital into many competing or potentially competing units; and (3) production of the great bulk of commodities (both goods and services) by workers who, owning no means of production of their own, are obliged to sell their labor power to capitalists in order to acquire the means of subsistence.

and by peasant I mean anybody that works as a farmer under a manorial lord.

not plagiarism, but if you've read this somewhere before and know the source name that could help get me some ideas

Ali was a weak ruler. Look how he handled Muawiyyah. He let him free, half of his follower left him in disgust.

How Muhammad handle a rival? Brand them as munafiqun, isolate them so they don't get any followers.

Now if Ali was the prophet, he would be killed by his rival just like had happened in his caliphate. Maybe we will see the shahaba & salaf like early christian with

Are swords a meme weapon? It seems like their popularity really only caught on when

>they were being praised in hypothetical scenarios, eg. myths
>they were being doled out as weapons for nobility, such as cavalry
>they were being used in peacetime (duels)

While during actual wars, spear, lance, and pike formations were more effective, excepting cases where archery was key to a battle. Even axes had their moment in the sun, such as with the Varangian Guard, while the sword was only ever a sidearm at best.

Dueling, sporting, and self defense weapons are commonly more iconic than war weapons.

Ask a hundred people on the street to draw the first thing that they think of when they hear the word "gun", and I bet the overwhelming majority of them will draw handguns, not rifles.

Victorian era knowledge of steam engines is given to the early imperial Romans. Would they be capable of using it optimally? How would this affect history?

They wouldn't care because they used slaves. The Romans had steam engines but it was never anything else but a curiosity.

>>966458
They'd probably have trouble applying them unless you bundled some knowledge of mechanics in there too
>>
>>966458
they don't have everything else that was necessary to use steams engines. There is a large chance nothing happens and small chance everything changes if people with sufficient power can see its usefulness and build the infrastructure necessary

>Encouraged by this spiritual support, Fatih Sultan Mehmed, escalated the attack, and decided to add an element of surprise: the Ottoman fleet anchored in Dolmabahce would be moved to the Golden Horn gulf by land.

>In early hours of the morning, Byzantine Christians were dumbfounded and horrified when they saw Ottoman galleys moving down on the hills ol the bay. Seventy ships carried by cows and balanced by hundreds of soldiers via ropes were slid over slipways. By afternoon the ships were inside the well protected bay.

They literally carried their fucking ships across land to bypass the Byzantine blockade, they were that determined to take Constantinople. Regardless of what you think of Turks and Muslims, that is one of the most badass things in history I've read about.

>b-but the 1988 tests dated it back to the 13th century!
The sample was cut from a corner of the Shroud which was part of a later repair, the dating contradicts other evidence, the sample may also have been contaminated by bacteria, smoke or reactive carbon and further evidence shows that the calculations were done incorrectly. You can verify all of my statements.

The three dating labs, according to a scientific protocol agreed upon in 1985, were supposed to cut several samples of the Shroud from different locations. Unfortunately, that is not what happened. Instead, the scientific adviser to the Arch Diocese of Turin, Luigi Gonnella, decided to violate the protocol and allowed only one sample to be cut from an outside corner where it had been handled hundreds of times over the centuries as it was held up for public viewing.

This flawed examination was actually discredited by Dr. Ray Rogers who published in the January, 2005 issue of Thermochimica Acta. Dr. Rogers stated, in part, ''The radiocarbon sample was thus not part of the original cloth and is invalid for determining the age of the shroud.''

New tests that have been carried out in the University of Padua's laboratories by professors from various Italian universities, led by Giulio Fanti, Italian professor of mechanical and thermal measurement at the University of Padua’s engineering faculty, have dated the fibres from the cloth to a period between 300BC to 400AD.

Han Chinese are currently the largest ethnic group, at about 20% of the world pop.

It's probably been Han Chinese for millennia.

How did the Han Chinese even manage to be such a large ethnic group?

There also isn't much of a difference between Italians and Spaniards, but woe on you if you say they're the same.

How the hell did the Chinese convince people from such a vast area that they're somewhat similar countrymen?
>>
Is it possible to discuss 'ethnic groups' apart from the identity concepts associated with them? How old is the concept of Han identity?

To clarify:

The author states that before the agricultural revolution humans and animals were at peace with nature. After we got trapped into settling down we started to accumulate diseases, hernias, arthritis and we became more violent. Not to mention we domesticated tons of animals and plans, and kept them in captivity.

The title is dramatic, but late hunter gatherers were better off than early farmers.
