Didn't someone once say that if you've pissed off everyone, you're probably right?

He didn't say we needed kings, just a sovereign. I can be any government or social order so long as it's stable and protects humanity from themselves.

Age is kind of a social construct right? At least in terms of counting and determining at what number some one is exactly mature enough to be an called an "adult."
Which cultures had the best age reckoning?
In the west, you advance an age when the date and month you were born comes along.
In the east, you used to advance an age whenever the new year started. So your day of birth didn't really count( also technically everyone eas one year older since they didn't start counting from 0).
I think western because not starting from 0 seems pretty dumb. Then again, infants grow quickly.

Except made you do something badass once you reached a certain age. So they still count those years you retard.

Why did they kill her? It's not like she posed any threat after the rebellion was crushed. What's the point of killing somebody who's already been defeated?

Only thing out of place there is Lithuania, anything else is rightful German clay.
Although you might have an argument because Lithuania was supposed to have a German king (Mindaugas II, Duke of Urach) after WW1.

Tell me about the best commanders from the Great War
Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck
>For four years, with a force that never exceeded about 14,000 (3,000 Germans and 11,000 Africans), he held in check a much larger force of 300,000 British, Belgian, and Portuguese troops. Essentially undefeated in the field, Lettow-Vorbeck was the only German commander to successfully invade imperial British soil during the First World War.

Where ancient battles really how they are depicted in movies, tv shows and games?
Is our understanding of the tactics used and how they unfolded absolutely correct?

>Is our understanding of the tactics used and how they unfolded absolutely correct?
Do we have an understanding tho? There's a big debate about the degree of "pushing" involved in the hoplite tactics, a debate about the role of pilum in the roman army, and we know even less about the other fighting styles. Recently experimental archaeology (i.e. people making real life Macedonian sarisas and trying to maneuver a group of people armed with them) has been filling some gaps, but we're far from having an "understanding".
>>
>>3198153
I mean understanding like for example in movies Gladiator and Alexander. They must have an understanding set as to portray the battles they did.
And in games like Rome Total War.
I read a page once about how it was stressful to be hacking limbs non stop so it was argued that battles where more like skirmishes where both sides approached fearfully one another, swung their swords and spears and then retreated to rest and to gather courage. This was repeated until one side routed. Can't find it now though.

>Were ancient battles really how they are depicted in movies, tv shows and games?
No, those things are made for entertainment, not for accurately portraying history.
We're lucky enough to have detailed orders of battle in some historical documents, so you can kind of extrapolate those and apply them to other battles around the same time and place.

Following 1783 and the Treaty of Paris, was there any realistic chance of America ever falling back under the English crown's control.
Was American inpependence a guarantee once it was finally won?

Yes.
Britain never even came close to recapturing the U.S. during the War of 1812.
And there was never even a slight want of the American public to become a part of the c****nwealth
>>
>>3198152
>there was never even a slight want
The Royalists exodus after the end of the war says otherwise.
That said, the exodus meant that there would never again be any public support for restoration in America again.

Was there ever any cases where German and Japanese troops fought together during the second World War?
Or was it like the Soviets and the U.S. where they were technically allies, but never fought together.

well the US also provided the Soviets with a fuckton of raw materials and weapons, i don't think there was such a relationship between the Germans and Japanese
>>
>>3198158
then what was the point of them even having an alliance?
>>
>>3198161
I genuinely do not know why the Germans allied with the Japs. I understand it from Japanese perspective but not the German one.

Same reason Germany failed against the SU, logistics and alienating any popular local support they might of had
