Noblemen having the "Golden liberty", they literally had as much power as the king, so they obviously abused this to benefit them as much as possible.
Being fucked by Russia, Sweden, then later on Prussia, Austria & Russia hurts.
Too much shit to fight (Crimean Khanate, then Ottomen, then Sweden, then Russia,Austria,Prussia)

Seriously though this shit is tragic, literally no backtracking possible.

Also it fucks up the ecosystem due to the evolutionary equilibrium established between species at different trophic levels within an ecosystem, which leads to unpredictable alterations to the biosphere.

>Why do people think happiness can only be bought and seek many material possessions
No one actually articulates this as their position, this is you claiming that other people hold this position. So you need to answer your own question.


>Why is consumerism like a religion nowadays
If you mean why is it a thing, it's because capitilism. If you mean why do people care about it wait till your parents are not taking care of you and realize how expensive everything is. People are not working for 'fast cars' they are working to afford the monthly payments on normal cars.

>Why do people put such great stock in earthly possessions
If you don't believe in souls than everything in the world is 'earthly'. So you are either asking why people care about anything what so ever (since everything is earthly) or you are asking why people do not completely ignore physical things and focus entirely on mystism.

>Why do people want big houses, expensive cars, and even more stuff that is hollow and unnecessary
What is necessary? Again you seem to have your own concept of what 'nessary' means. So you need to answer your own question.

>>525750
What else am I supposed to do with my money? Give it all away?

>>525928
Why would you do that? You'd only be encouraging the people you gave it to, to become materialistilistic. You should burn your money and work for free.

capitalism

Being best Russia is still shit compared to being a mediocre Britain.

start with the greeks

Seems like a question for /lit/.
Since we're at it, and given your pic, do historians take historical materialism seriously?

>where milanese elbow cops are open, gothic ones are joined
>where milanese plate was generally sparingly fluted, gothic plate at its peak was almost entirely fluted
>where milanese plate is oversized around the torso and arms, gothic plate is still rounded but much slimmer
>gothic gauntlets are usually well articulated and form-fitting, while milanese gauntlets are more reminiscent of hourglass gauntlets
>bevors not prominently worn with milanese plate, unlike gothic plate
>liberal application of rivets on gothic plate, seen sparingly on milanese, especially with one-three piece milanese pauldrons, while gothic pauldrons are partially reminiscent of spaulders

Think of the differences between a sportscar and a cathedral.

One has lots of big, smooth, sweeping panels. The other has lots of details and spikes.

Same with armour.

Although this guy did a great job of describing it on a more technical level >>525206

>>524832

Gothic armor was designed to protect the user from him or herself, particulary the arms and wrists.

>Battle of Tolouse 721
Advise Al-Samh on how to use heavy armour.

Easy Mode: I advise Napoleon not to invade Russia.

I'd advise Pope Urban the second. But i'd advise his crusade not for the holy land,but for Spain and help in the Reconquista. Then go for Jerusalem,it would've been interesting to see what the Iberian's could've done if released earlier historically.

What I mean by this, is that the downfall of Persia came so suddenly it must have certainly had some sort of impact on Greek thinking.

Were there any major discussions on the legacy of the Sassanids from Greek scholars or politicians?

>>524399

Considering that many Eastern Romans thought their own falling under the control of the Arabs was an act of divine punishment, they probably saw the fall of the Sassanids at the hands of the Arabs as the infidels getting just what they deserved.

>>524399
That said: whatever happened to the Sassanid Emperor and his Dynasty when the Ayyrabs invaded??

Is a shitty shitty concept to use in historical work.

Because babies can't fight wars. Considering what happened when he grew up, was saving the child even worth it?

>>525447

There is a non-zero chance that throwing the baby on the ground contributed to Liu Shan's mental problems.

He was being benevolent and trying to save the shu-han from [more] bad leadership.

>>523824
Then man up fag

Europeans were so based that the only thing that could destroy them was themselves

Most soldiers probably enjoyed the war. It must have been freaking epic, too bad our generation now is a bunch of fucking pussies.

It needs to happen again desu
