Reminder that all sacks past 390 BC were irrelevant because Rome was just a depopulated city which was no longer the capital of the WRE at the time.

>>2530749
The one in 415 AD was pretty important because of its psychological impact, despite loosing all political significance, Roma was still the City. And it wasn't depopulated at the time, the major depopulation happened during the Gothic wars.

American Revoltion. All those resources wasted to create a power that would contribute nothing beneficial to the world, and bankrupt actual culturally rich Empires

Alright how about this. These resources were not wasted as they created the United States which would go on to be a major player in Human History, did contribute enormous amounts to the modern world, and didn't bankrupt culturally rich empires, as Europe did that to themselves with two world wars.

>>2530910
What has America contributed the world beyond mindless consumerism. No create political systems, no high culture, no music except simple beats for negros to shake their arse at. Zero grest military strategies, just some technology that any other nation couldve created.

>>2530929
>political systems
We instituted successful capitalism, and while we didn't create it, we almost perfected it. We also have funded thousands of think-tanks to create new and random sub-sections of political systems.

>no high culture
Our cowboy Americana and even modern Hollywood has been incredibly influential on the culture of the world, especially after WW2. You see Somalian kids with a Bart Simpson t-shirt or a Brazilian with Nike shorts.American culture is everywhere.

>no music
We had the 50's pop which probably had some of the greatest music ever created, the 60's and 70's Vietnam soundtrack, and the 30's and 40's jazz. Unfortunately we were not around for the Classical craze, and that sucks.

>military strategies
We perfected Shock and Awe and our entire strategy is to "rain down munitions" on the enemy until we can walk in and just capture whatever is left of our objective. We created our military strategies around our massive industrial complex and our concern with American causalities.

>any other nation couldve created.
Even if that is true or not, the fact is that we created it. We were the rich and powerful, the accepting and wonderous, and we attracted people like Rockefeller, Carnegie, Goddard, Bell, the Orville brothers, Ford, and so many others.

Like I said, 4/10 bait.

>>2530929
Nigger, we basically enabled the allies/entente in both world wars to win. WW1: Supplied for all of the war, and then shattered the Hindenburg offensive.

America has had its fair share of shifting movements, but none of these have left a positive mark upon the world.

American's only defense of their nation is "hurr we're rich" as if they didn't completely luck out by having vast swathes of land, weak neighbours and 2 oceans seperating them from any competitors and guaranteeing they'll never be invaded. Your patriotism is admirable but unearned.
>>2531002
Does this mean anything at all? Are you playing the "good guys" card. Yes America is very rich, but if i take what you said seriously, all you did was enable a weak power to win a war it didn't deserve

>>2531002
And we basically (tried our best) to keep commies from taking over the world. I'll admit, the way we did it was very faulty, but it kept the commies out (mostly)

>>2531011

I'm with this guy. Let's not forget all the other important libraries that were ever burnt throughout time. Because fuck the future generations, right?

Alaric was basically completely in the right. Dude just wanted a place for his people and recognition. Then they had to go and kill his boy Stillicho and slaughter tens of thousands of Goths. Honorious had it coming.

China's history throughout the 2nd millennium is like long, endless cringe. The horrible stupidity that goes on never stops. It just never stops and just kept getting worse after they nearly had a industrial society.

>>2533992
Fuck Mongollians.

I hate hate hate how they keep being defended by historians because "they open the trade routes" despite the Silk Road being a thing for millennia by than and other horse nomads doing this sort of thing without the rape and slaughter of so many societies, peoples and ideas for some megalomaniac's dream of world conquest. I believe we'd be further ahead as a world without the Mongols. At the very least the orient wouldn't have been so shit as they became when the Mongols came in and destroyed all innovation & progress in much of Asia. Also they're responsible for Russia.

>>2534119
Actually Alaric just wanted to recognised with an official position in the Roman army such as "magister militum" so that he would have access to the state granaries and arsenals, allowing him to feed and arm his people. I don't think he ever intended his people to remain an independent kingdom within Roman territory, such a thing had never been tolerated before.

>>2533342
if he had waited for his archers they would have won, but as someone whose name was first attributed to a follower of William, I am glad they won
