Except for the part the Carthaginian elders in the Carthaginian senate refused to fund him in the war and did everything in their power to neglect him to have an alibi if he didn't win.

He did win, he just died too early.

>Except for the part the Carthaginian elders in the Carthaginian senate refused to fund him in the war and did everything in their power to neglect him to have an alibi if he didn't win.
Thus he did not know how to capitalize victory.

Knowing how to do something is not the same as having the ability to do so anon.

That's not how victory works, dumbass. Maybe if he was on his death bed when a messenger runs into his room crying and exclaiming "Lord Oda, we are just an hour away from conquering the last remaining castle of Japan!" then Nobunaga takes a deep long breath, and dies with a smile on his face. Only something like that would be a victory even though he died early. But in his case, it wasn't.

Pompey

>>1005484
>Then why did he loose in the end?
Because the retarded oligarchs are inept leaders who didn't see Hannibal was right that Rome wanted to destroy them and that's why he lost, his own homeland wasn't helping him and his family's reputation and coffers were spent gaining allies from the Gaul tribes, and other peoples in Hispania and even some Italian city-states.

>>1005484
>And then his brother came in with his relief but was stopped form joining due to one of them romanii.
>Still lost the war.
His brother was using his family's influence and their money to bring mercenaries and reserve troops from Carthage's North African provinces. The elders still weren't supporting them.

Know who was right?

Hannibal.

And the Union continued to get assblasted by underfed, poorly equipped farmers until literally the last days of the war.

Victory doesn't change the fact that the Union literally got anally ravaged by a people with 1/10th the population and half the industrial capacity.

if you and i have a war, and your nation has less economic, militaristic, and territorial power than mine, and you manage to embarrassingly defeat much of my forces l, but i still win, those victories of yours literally dont matter. you can brag all you want about those victories, but in the end im the one ruling your nation

Your rule only extends to where you have troops to impose your will.

The will of the people in that area can still run counter to your will.

>>1005709
The victory was literally forcing the South to enact the 14th amendment. They didn't dare try anything else.

>>1005709
What does that have to do with his argument? The factors that kept the CSA going for almost half a decade in the Civil War was the quality of its troops and the caliber of its commanders, often even in late in the Civil War the Union relied many times on human-wave tactics.

>>1005731
>They didn't dare try anything else.

They effectively turned the south into a dictatorship until the president undermined it against the wishes of his own party

>>1005062
Only right answer

>>1005479
i think it would be better for world if USA was divided, the slavery would eventually be removed form the condederate, and they would do it themselves, it wouldnt be forced upon
and a divided USA with divided power would fuck around less in the world

Hannibal became bogged down in the defense of the etruscan cities he had allied himself with. Prior to this gets was a very mobile and elusive force but in having to protect those shaky friendships it weakened his ability to fight Rome where he wanted to. Also not being able to effectively siege Roma

Honestly the south would probably win a second civil war depending on how the U.S. military divides itself up. They dont have the same problems as they did during the first, and all the oil production and refinement is in the south

Yes, Texas is the jewel of the south; probably the only state worth mentioning in the South that is truly self sufficient and powerful. But that's it. Other states are backwaters and literal coontowns, but the same could be said for Northern fly-over states as well..

If Texas fought against New York and/or California, would it hurt?

Considering Both those states lack the industrial sectors of Texas and most of their production is derived from the service sector (Thanks Obama), yeah, it would hurt them.

Brit here just giving my two pence on the American Civil War:

The whole point of the war seems to me to be not about slavery at all, but about control. The idea that the whole war was about slavery is just a way for the oppressors to frame themselves as the good guys. The US could've allowed those states to secede and then, as independent neighbours, tried to persuade those free states to abolish slavery through other means - propaganda, trade sanctions, general diplomacy. It's likely that they eventually would have done, and without all the bloodshed.

But independent neighbour states don't pay taxes to the bank of Washington and they might not fight as allies in a war. They couldn't be allowed to secede because the freedom so often sang about over there is really an illusion. Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, Florida et al won their independence from London, only to find they were now owned by Washington.

"You cannot secede from the Union," is just another way of saying "Meet the old boss, same as the old boss." Washington and London have many different policies but letting their prime assets go without a fight isn't one of them.
