Autism

>>1638631
Every major event in history is just human being autistic about religion/power/money/true/shit.

alright let´s meme again

People's Crusade

The Pope had the idea to sent peasants fighting for religion instead of mercenaries fighting for money. In the end their whole army was destroyed by the Turks in the first battle, they lost 30.000 men where the Turks lost less than a hundred.

>>1638671
I don't think the pope "sent them" so much as the people were being led by fanatical monks, despite the monks receiving no permission from Rome to start a "people's crusade"

Reformation and Counter-Reformation

Fuck everyone even remotely involved

The emu war. Look it up.

Harambe's death

>>1638671
>The Pope
No. Stop. Stop. The pope wanted to gather knights and nobles, the warrior-class of Europe, under a single banner. The people's crusade happened when the actual crusade was still on the drawing board, and was called by unofficial authorities that had ntohing to do with the pope.

>>1638631
It probably never happened, but I'd say the Trojan War.
>Going to war over a fucking woman
Menelaus was king of Sparta. He could've had a trillion bitches, but he chose to send thousands of men from across Greece to their deaths over a fucking disloyal whore.

>>1638946
>Going to war over a fucking woman

Stilly better than going to war over a bakery

>In 1838 a French pastry cook, Remontel, claimed that his shop in the Tacubaya district of Mexico City had been ruined by looting Mexican officers in 1828. He appealed to France's King Louis-Philippe. Coming to a national's aid, France demanded 600,000 pesos in damages, an enormous sum for the time, when the typical daily wage in Mexico City was about one peso (8 Mexican reals).

>When president Anastasio Bustamante made no payment, the king of France ordered a fleet under Rear Admiral Charles Baudin to declare and carry out a blockade of all Mexican ports from Yucatán to the Rio Grande, to bombard the Mexican fortress of San Juan de Ulúa, and to seize the city of Veracruz, which was the most important port on the Gulf coast. French forces captured virtually the entire Mexican Navy at Veracruz by December 1838

>Meanwhile, acting without explicit government authority, Antonio López de Santa Anna, known for his military leadership, came out of retirement from his hacienda near Xalapa and surveyed the defenses of Veracruz. He offered his services to the government, which ordered him to fight the French by any means necessary. He led Mexican forces against the French. In a skirmish with the rear guard of the French, Santa Anna was wounded in the leg by French grapeshot. His leg was amputated, and buried with full military honors.[2] Exploiting his wounds with eloquent propaganda, Santa Anna catapulted back to power.

>With the diplomatic intervention of the United Kingdom, eventually President Bustamante agreed to pay the 600,000 pesos for the baker's damages, and the French forces withdrew on 9 March 1839.

Not to mention this one really happened while the Trojan War is a myth

>>1639017
To be entirely fair, this is enforcing a citizen's rights overseas. Though I agree that of all the wars we know for sure happened, this is one of the most autistic.

>>1638946
>Menelaus was king of Sparta. He could've had a trillion bitches, but he chose to send thousands of men from across Greece to their deaths over a fucking disloyal whore.
>implying it was this fucking simple

>>1639143
It was though. Nigga went to war because his hot yet traiterous slut wife was "stolen". And being the king, I don't question he could have at least five random women in his bed whenever he wanted.

>>1638631
Literally anything and everything involving Germany.

>>1639034
That's not autism, that's just 19th century imperialism.

You do this, and maybe next time you demand a crazy ammount of money from Venezuela or Haiti, they'll pay up quicker.

>Americans are murdered, imprisoned, and oppressed in foreign countries EVERY SINGLE DAY
>we sit impotently by and pay ransoms for our people

Fucking pathetic.

Historical but still going on today, been reading about the dispute over these Senkaku Islands and its autistic as shit, the islands are literally uninhabited mostly barren rocks.

Both Japan and China dive into obscure parts of their histories nitpicking why one should own them over the other

"We used them as defense against pirates in the 1300s!" "One of our businessmen collected bird feathers there in 1896!"

If Autism was a country, it would be Germany. Germany in the early 1900s was probably the height of its autism.

kys

>>1639568

There's good evidence of natural gas reserves around said islands, which is the real motive.

Germany is a very relevant country.

>>1638631

World War I.

Many young men lost their lives because of the death of one prince.

>>1638946
Helen was the heir of Mycenae, not Meneleus. No marriage, no legitimacy.

The Great Northern War.
Karl literally had Russia and """""Saxony""""" begging for peace, and the Danes had already folded in the first few weeks.
He invaded for Poland for "muh just and honest peace," and would've single handily destroyed the Swedish Empire if his generals didn't do an even better job of fucking their own shit up.

Further proof of German autism in that the "invincible" Prussian war machine didn't get involved until both George I and Peter the Great had Sweden on the ropes.

>>1640098
the real motive is probably just political, a bunch of gas isn't worth enough to fuck up huge economic ties

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Bucket

>>1638631
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_War_(1859)
this is a pretty autistic one

The Falklands

The autism can still be seen today on any 4chan board that discusses world politics or history.

>>1638703

Martin Luther is possibly the most clearly autistic historical figure of them all.

The War of the Bucket is the single most autistic thing to ever happen in recorded history.

People literally died for a stolen bucket.

Caligula's war on Poseidon.

The Crusades since most people who are against the syrian immigrants call for it even the the catholics got their butts kick 9 out of 10 times

>>1640227

The build up to WW1 was ridiculously complex and the death of Franz Ferdinand was really just the spark that set everything off.

When so many great powers are that close together and have similar global desires, an enormous amount of distust forms between them.

When the Duke got killed there was talk of war, which meant everyone started preparing for war out of fear, then everyone saw that everyone was preparing for war, and declared war. It would have happened eventually even if the Duke didn't get himself shot.

Literal shithole of a city that was only valued for sentimental reasons until about 50 years ago.

Not managing to take Jerusalem may seem like a symbolic loss, but the Crusaders took cities that were of actual use like Acre.

Eh France was not really just defending a citizen's right, they had been looking at Mexico for a while and they had the intention of invading it for some time, they actually got to do it at the end but everything got fucked and they decided to drop the dream of a French Mexico after their puppet was executed and the US told them to fuck off from the Americas.
