He was already dead by the time the news got to London.

Is it possible that there was technology developed and experiments done during world war II that still remain classified to this day?

I remember reading once that the Soviets tested a 45mm anti tank round filled with poisonous gas, and apparently the results are still secret.

And I wonder if there were experiments, weapons, technology that were used that we don't even know exist because they are still kept secret.

I'm sure that not all of the findings/experiments of Unit 731 in Japan were divulged to the public. They must have had some great stuff to all be given immunity.

Is it allegorical to all of history or is it more of a shakesperian romance?
139 posts and 33 images submitted.
>>
Idk I haven't seen it yet
>>
>>411455

It's a cartoon Dave. Just a cartoon.

What allegories it contains are found myriad throughout history and the show itself isn't the best way of portraying or elucidating them.

Don't put too much stock into a cartoon which runs over 100 episodes and is literally a waste of some 45+ hours of your life where you could do far more productive things if you were genuinely interested in politics, military, history etc.

What if Athens won the Peloponnesian War? How would this change the course of Western history?

If they could withstand the rise of Thebes then that would have further impact on the Rise of Macedon and eventually the rise of Hellenism and Rome.
>>
>>410429

Almost certianly very little would have changed. You'd still have the plague, you'd still have them bankrupting themselves on lengthy expeditions with big fleets and big fortification projects, and if they ultimately prevailed over Sparta, they'd be in the same prostrate position that Sparta was in after it "won".

Thebes becomes the most powerful state in Greece immediately after, mostly by virtue of staying out of it was much as possible.
>>
>>410429
Well the reason the war started in the first place was because of fear of Athen's growing power.

So perhaps another coalition of Boeotian or Peloponnesian City-States would form to to rival Athens? Perhaps headed by Thebes?

Why is it call "China"?
"Middle Kingdom", "Central Nation" or "Medium Country" seem much more meaningful right?

No, if you could afford it you would use them as a side to your spear. They where excellent at fighting lightly armored enemies, such as hard leather, and even had some workarounds to fighting enemies with armor.
>>
Yes. Most medieval battlefield casualties were caused by arrows or pole arms. If you are actually using your sword, things were going wrong.

Of course, they are incredibly important as a symbol, both of social status and martial prowess.

Is the Roman Empire the most overrated empire of all time? I never found Rome or it's period interesting at all. It's boring as fuck. It's all Caesar or barb stomping then Rome gets shit on by barbs. Almost any history anywhere else past Christ's death is more interesting than the Rome era, except for Africa.

Romefags always circlejerk over Rome and how glorious it was, and for every "if Germany won WWII" alternate history, there's 3 "if the Roman Empire survived" alternate history with shitty Roman colonization of places and some other shit.

Lindybeige is love, Lindybeige is life. Well mate, though he sounds very ambigious at times and without grounds, it ceirtainly is "more" correct. A Longsword and a Bastard sword are not the bloody same thing. And Lindy manages to get his point across.
>>
How can one man be so beige?
>>
>>409628
Im not exactly knowledgeable in the subject but from my understanding the longsword and the bastard sword are two individual swords generally determined by their length and weight.

Though from what I know Lindybeige mixed the two. The larger two handed sword was the bastard sword and the shorter hand/hand and a half sword was a longsword. Though maybe I'm misinformed.

Did the ancient Egyptians deliberately hide evidence of the Exodus and the Jews building the pyramids? Does this have any basis in fact?

Except for like Goshen.
And all those Egyptian records from preserved by non-Egyptians.

Because American trained armies with the latest weapons have a shitty track record, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq. Also because when the Japs invaded they were effectively fighting a two front war against both commies and Japs.
>>
>>409350
>why weren't all the communists killed early in the war
They were allies VS. the warlords initially, as KMT and CCP were buttbuddies in the fight against the Northern Generals.
When that was over, the KMT tried to actually Order 66 the CCP, but the nationalists didn't get everyone. CCP then staged a fighting withdrawal now known as the Long March. Which consolidated the frontline between KMT and CCP

And then Japs had to ruin everything
