Mostly in Africa.

France did bring some of their Niggas over in the Western Front.

So did the USA.

/thread.

>>3172681

Yes. Britain and France had colonies in African and they drafted soldiers from those colonies to help fill the ranks after they started losing so many soldiers in the fighting. It was a very small portion of the overall number of soldiers fighting, but yes, they were there.

In comparison to the Northern poritons of the Roman empire, the North Africans seem on the face of it to be less interested in Rome than Europe was, why is that?

>>3172378
They feared the Roman warrior.

Why study the history of Africa? Not that there's anything wrong with that, I think it's interesting that you did so, but I'm just curious as to why

The problem with Chinese history is that you have to learn Chinese

Yeah well that sucks. Learning Chinese isn't like learning French or Russian. Why aren't there translators at work already?

Primary sources? I'm literate in Chinese, but at any rate there are a lot of english translations available and being produced.

I'm going to expand your time period to include the Spring Autumn period. So, about 8th century down to 3rd century.

The obvious ancient source is the Shi Ji, written during Western Han. I don't like to read Chinese texts that clearly date from after 3rd c. BCE, but that's the most prominent primary source material.

There is the Zuo Zhuan, which was written during the time period we're discussing. It is coupled with the spring and autumn annals, and there are English translations. The text covers the 8th to 5th century.

A fun text focusing on the later half of the time period is the Zhan Guo Ce, or strategies of the warring states. A quick Google shows that there is a free english translation available.

If you read all that, and you want more texts that were actually written during the time period discussed, it becomes trickier.

There is a text called the guanzi, which is a compendium of essays. The xiao kuang and da kuang chapters are historical narratives. You can also look at the five classics, parts may be of interest to you.

Finally, you could look at strictly philosophical works. They constantly relate stories and refer to historical occurrences.

All of these should have english translations.

Sassanids and Byzantines are white, Incas and Azkeks were not. So yeah, it's not even a contest.

>>3171237
I mean sure? But I was thinking on the difference in technology, wouldn't that make the essential difference vs the numbers stacked against them? The Indo-Europeans have superior metallurgy, chain mail, and horses but the Mesoamericans have sheer numbers.

>>3171230
Inca weren't mesoamerican, the Mayan Empire isn't a thing, and the aztecs were more of a federation.

Anyway my point is you're retarded and should read a book before posting.

Don't those two masts give the position away? I mean it could be heading in any direction but it's angle is given. And once you know the angle after a little bit of observation you will get the direction.

I have a great grandfather I think who worked on a u-boat repair ship in WWI and up to WWII. Pic related was the SMS vulcan.

What are you basing your opinion on?
NEETs you met on the internet?
Because in real life, Japan and Germany never recovered
Their country are still under US military occupation, they have no military and patriotism is banned in their countries

Yeah ever so slightly

Don't diss my fren Jimmy.

Vlad the Inpaler is quite famous.

Sado of Joseon and Yeongjo of Joseon are extremely underrated. power hungry, paranoid, superstitious.

Ivan the terrible is just pathetic. Kinda like Yeongjo in a way.
