through the orchestration of the 13 english colonies and the lousianna purchase france managed to end itself, then germany realised does some proxy bombing on old shit that needed to be controlled demolitioned anyway (and was by luffwaffer contracters) and uve got all oponents defeated. frankly im amazed europe hasnt converted to english yet, at least as an accepted global mandatory second language.

the worlds a horrble fucking place and so is war and ur trying to glorify it? best? nah i dont think so. ask for most horrific, but dont glorify it, dont sugar coat it.

people and society at large are ignorant as fuck and i believe in having enough to reasonably get by but human greed corrupts and if ur born into it and its all u know and ur incapable of the intelligence required to a-priori understand a nother way than ull justify immorality and word games to bullshit ibpartisan undevelopment of the human special credence to the point of oblivion and thats fine insofar as not being responsible for anothers actions and knowing the difference between reality and dystopic wordplay and insanity

there are shining lights, beacons and cities on a hill, especially now as we're at the point where we don't need to fight over gold and silver mines no mroe and can just accept on good faith (Fear of change and confrontation of truth and failure) that pixels in ur bank account ensures ul never be the kid being euthenized in africa due to forced vaccines and sterilisations that go on all over the world. people are so easily skewed and its these people driven by fear and greed. one breeze and they go off the deepend and once ur out theres no coming back

mongols were pretty good, incorporated a lot of the turkic tribes and brought them with straight into europe, pushing out aryan islams from baghdad etc.

or like i mentioned the controlled demolition of old parts of london etc that needed to burn like a you scratch my back ill scratch urs type contractor scenario

case in point

The current era of of warfare, not counting high technology, is one of the most interesting because it's probably the era where individual talents and skills beyond brute force or bravery matter the most in a battle.

The crusades, urban combat in WW2, US civil war, early indian wars, and viking era, and the Italian front in WW1 are all fairly interesting as well.

I agree with you on the warfare part, but the most aesthetic period would be 80s-early 90s American infantrymen.

Wars of antiquity. Though my favorites to read about are the Roman legionaries and Phalanx/Phalangite warfare.

>The current era of of warfare, not counting high technology
Technology IS the current era of warfare. Blowing people up from miles away is the defining feature of the modern army.

Most modern armies doing actual fighting don't have the kind of sophisticated force projection (US) or artillery spam (China) that first-world countries generally bring to bear.

You're right, though. Technology and the ability to use it to one's advantage is the defining aspect of modern warfare.

Personally, any sort of insurgent or asymmetrical warfare is clutch. The point-counterpoint between the various factions, and how the methods, tactics, and even ideologies of the groups change over time, are fascinating. The dawn of industrial warfare is also really interesting, particularly from an equipment angle. [spoiler]Thank God for Forgotten Weapons.[/spoiler]
