Friendly reminder that this is a picture of one of the greatest statesmen of all time, and anything that may have gone wrong during his time as chancellor was Wilhelm II's fault
All hail the Iron Chancellor

As far as I can tell machine guns and trenches played a much more important roll in the Russo-Japanese war

How did Spain go from the greatest Empire on Earth to a shitty tourist destination for lower-middle class Northern Europeans? Can this happen to the UK too?

Spend all their spoils on ebin buildings and luxury instead of investment. They also viewed these colonies as a buffet, instead of developing them. So, no, it won't happen to Britain.

A hilarious lack of economic forsight. Even at their absolute height they were still declaring bankruptcy left and right, it was embarrassing for the other empires of the time to realize that somehow, this embarrassment managed to rival them in power albeit very briefly.

How would you change your language's orthography (i.e. alphabet, spelling rules, etc) if you were given the chance to reform it?
For instance, my native language is Arabic, and I would first:
・Add پ as a letter to represent the foreign sound /v/ [See ڤ for note]
・Establish ج as /g/ (as like in Egyptian Arabic, but in contrast to most other modern dialects which instead pronounce that letter as a j-type sound) [Rationale for this change is that /g/ is the original sound value for the phoneme, and is the sound found in pre-classical Old Arabic, as well as in a a small number of modern dialects (most notably Cairene Egyptian)]
・Add چ as a letter to represent /d͡ʒ/ (i.e. the English "j") [This is the current usage of the letter in Egyptian Arabic.]
・Add ژ as a letter to represent the foreign sound /ʒ/ (i.e. the French J) [Letter and sound value taken from Persian]
・Add ڤ as a letter to represent the foreign sound /p/ [The normal Arabic ف /f/ was in Pre-Arabic a /p/, so I find it better to use a variant of the ف /f/ letter rather than the ب /b/ letter to represent /p/. Hence why I suggested ڤ as /p/, and پ as /v/.]
・Would also make two special diacritics to represent foreign vowels /e/ and /o/
Then of course, I would make writing short vowels mandatory. I would also make all intervocalic glottal stops written with a full ء all the time rather than the current shenanigans.

Why did Romans and Greeks made such short swords?
Did they fear the longsword warrior?

Longer swords are heavier, require more material (hence more expensive), and more room to use them.
You might fear a longswordsman one-on-one, but if you've got a buddy with another short sword and shields to boot, you probably wouldn't.

im guessing that
>relied on spears as the primary weapon during warfare as they valued the unit as a whole over the individual soldier
>sword was only a backup when spear wasn't available
>light, easy to carry with one hand while armed with a shield

Meds are manlets, only Germanics and Celts could handle long swords. Few know this!
