>going to war over this What the fuck was wrong with people?

What about going to war over money, power and influence that one gets from dominating such a large market as the spice one?

I already went twice.

The Spice extends life. The Spice expands consciousness. The Spice is vital to space travel.

It's not about the spices. It''s about the trading of the spices.

People didn't go to war over tasting spices. They went to war over securing trade routes

>Starting shit

When the Superior Military comes in and asks you for SPice, you give them spice. If not, the resulting tragedies are your fault

Native warlords wanted to loot and attack innocent European merchants. They were little different from regular criminals.

>>2092548
I know, I'm just saying that one guy must have been pretty motivated by wanting to actually taste spices.

>Opium Wars
>UK merchants: the big bad China won't let us sell them Opium that is objectively destroying their work force, culture and was already illegal
>UK: How dare you don't let our merchant exchange that harmful stuff instead of gold for tea, we are going to attack you and take Hong Kong

It's as if Mexico invaded USA for the War on Drugs.

>>2092596
If Mexico was 5 times more powerful than the US they probably would

I want her to worship my sandworm.

>>2092257
Eat all your foods with no spices from now on. And after a month tell me you wouldn't kill s man for some taste

>>2092596
It wasn't really about the Opium. It was the fact that China raided British ships despite an existing treaty to not do that. Really, it was just an excuse to open the ports.

>>2092257
The stuff was pretty valuable desu.

Their meat was rotten and tasted like shit because no refrigeration so spices were a huge quality of life increase
Same reason people drank booze or tea, well water often tastes like shit and has lots of patgogens

Just follow the money. Every. Single. Time.
