What media? What I've seen of him in Japanese media has been pretty positive, an admirable warrior-king like Alexander.

>>3095083
Didn't he set Buddhist temples on fire?
Plus he was pretty Japanese considering how much he had a fetish for foreign things. Japs are super xenophobic remember.

>>3095095
It varies, sure, but most of what I see is negative. It's common he's portrayed as a demon rising from hell and such.

>>3095102
He did, but it wasn't just a buddhist temple he felt like torching. It was an ikko-ikki (japanese ISIS) hotspot right next to Kyoto that he had already tried dealing with through negotiations, and led two regular military campaigns with previously. The torching was a last resort intended to both remove that major thorn from his side and also send a message.

Neanderthals.

Indo-Europeans mainly. Can't be denied that Neolithic people contributed something too, not sure what exactly.

Kind of like why the various colonial armies didn't bring back steel armor for fighting tribes with pre-gunpowder weapons. Why didn't they do it?

My guess is that it has to do with being stuck in a contemporary mindset.

Wasn't a big part of trench raids to kidnap enemy soldiers? I could see a bludgeoning weapon being better for that purpose. But other than that I don't know. A sturdy sabre or cutlass would trump any melee weapon found in the trenches.

Too much space to catch moonlight

Who's gonna work in the factories then?

Women can't fight for shit! Why do you think they get raped all the time?

You still need people for the society not to collapse, especially when the UK is cutting your trade of.

>>born in a shithole country that opresses women

That's not Poland of 19th century. Women in Poland had it better than women in France.

Marie move to to France because education opportunities for all Poles were limited with Russians cracking down the Polish national movement.

>Was it really a massacre?

Yes. The young intellectual, and especially the students, have always been a strong force in China. It is a bit paradoxal for a a country which history is full of peasant revolutions, but the students were the main force behind the 4th May Movement, which is considered to be the birth of modern chinese nationalism.

The CCP is aware of that, and at the time, China was "on the brink" of civil war, which means the possibility was real but there was still a lot of factors that could have and would have prevented that.

Anyway, on top of the CCP, was the conservatives and the progressists. The death of one of the most progressists of all progressists sparkled the protest, even though it is simply in direct line with the democracy movement of the early 80s. People want the 5th modernization, democracy - and a better fight agasint corruption - but old Deng isn't ready for that, and knowing what the youth is capable, he unleashed the tanks.

I personnaly don't think he actually wanted to kill people, but still hold no regrets for doing so.

>How many people died?
Less than 300 according to the CCP, over 10 000 according to the Soviet Union, who did not like China at the time. The truth lies between these numbers, I guess.

Monarchism is a mistake

So secretive authoritarian Krauts with a love for war were the answer?

>why do people love this king
Real human bean who didn't get a boner at the thought of sending his people into a meat grinder to expand his borders and fill his coffers like an autistic kid playing a Paradox game, which at the time was a semi-remarkable trait in a monarch. Also his repressed homosex tendencies and general eccentricity make for a nice story.

>>3093763
He paid for those fairy tale castles exclusively using his personal spending money. Other monarchs just used it on parties. I've never seen anything to suggest that their construction was a problem for the running of the state, and it seems likely that considering how well they attract tourists they've probably payed for themselves several times over by now.

>Genocide [...] or [...] fair play?
Genocide was fair play back then.

>>3093690
Genocide's almost always okay considering people with no convictions or extreme convictions can do it.

>>3093831
Or people with different convictions. Like back then. Stop looking through the lens of modernity.

The destruction of Europe, on multiple occasions

>>3093337

It was good idea as it gave the German people a strong nation to counter France, Austria, and Russia, but it was lead by a bunch of autists who basically destroyed Europe twice and the German people suffered because of them.

If by bait, you mean I want a reply on what happened during one of the Crusader times, then yes.

>>3092222

I mean, almost every "fact" about the movie was inaccurate.

It plays extremely fast and loose with timing, backgrounds, events, and dates.

It's easier to list what is accurate

> Baldwin 4 was baller
> Saladin was baller
> Raynald de Chatillon was a giant prick
> the Crusaders lost Hattin due to being retarded
> Saladin spared many of the Christians of Jerusalem, but they were ransomed for a "below-market" price rather than being let free. The ones that could not be ransomed were sold into slavery. All Templar/Hospitaliers were killed after capture.

As to the last part, one other bro-tier act was omitted. Upon seeing the plight of the poor who could not afford their ransom, Saladin's brother forfeited his share of the plunder to pay the ransom for some 1000 Christians.
