They could barely manage the Huns, and the Mongols were leagues ahead of the Huns in leadership, strategy and technology.

I'm glad Robespierre died screaming. I only wish he could have experienced the terror and pain of every execution his law made possible, where innocent people went to their death because "muh republic can't stand dissent!"

>>293272
Will do, bro.

Get that eye checked out.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

2
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.

Unless those neighbors believe in more than one God. Then you have free reign to murder and torture them till they give up their beliefs for yours.

I don't get why Daniel Dennet is evil here if that's the quote that's being used to represent him.

Czech republic, Slovenia or Poland are not violent countries at all.

It's an easy way to build large monumental architecture with hand tools.

Pyramids look neat. They're also relatively symmetrical and easy to understand building wise.

Take one level, build it, then take a smaller sized level and put it on top of it.

>>293203
It's a very simple geometric structure

1. Some princes wanted to stay Catholic, some wanted to be Protestant. Whichever would let them hold onto their titles

2. People were in fear that their after life was at stake

3. It evolved into a civil war

And into a dung heap. That's an important part.

It's complicated.

6: Eventually your kingdom becomes unstable due to the population becoming more politically involved and ideologies based on ideas of the equality of all human beings comes up threatening your precious feudal oligarchy.
7: Have a bunch of hack writer declare that the people of your specific land are not "the subjects of your throne" but "the People of your country" and that they have with them a distinct history (leaving aside that most of it was being illiterate peasants bossed around by thuggish warriors and nobles) and many proud accomplishments (even if up until 200 years ago you were considered the most ass backwards collections of morons on the continent) along with how they posses a "inherent spirit of nobility" and other such meaningless pap which needs to be defended against the foreign hordes and their 'corrupting influences'.
8: Reap the benefits of this contrived nonsense as it keeps the proles in line

Pictured in OP: Something which is of no concern in constructing your ethnic national identity.

All ethnicities are invented. 60% of France could not speak French in 1796, and 80% of Italy did not speak Italian.

to push aside or deflect a pike so the swordsman can close with his blade

>>292990

Not really. They were more of a duelling or a self-defense piece of equipment. In most pitched field battles, you wanted some kind of two handed polearm as your primary melee weapon. Swords of any stripe tended to be more of a backup/sidearm sort of thing.

>>293005
Wouldn't you want a larger shield, then? So you can protect yourself easier or defend from arrows?

This video offers a pretty good explanation of Russia's failure to utilize democracy, although it doesn't mention other slavs.

>Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are the only Slavic countries

Well memed.

And what about Albania, Hungary, Romania, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan etc? The "non-Slavic post Soviet states".

Three Islamic shitholes, Hungary is fairly consolidated and Romanians are wannabe slavs
