I swear to god Red Tails hits so many I don't know where to start. Even the fucking emblem one, they used the 3rd Waffen SS panzer division totenkopf on a plane rather than the authentic one used by Kampfgeschwader 54, at least it would've been tolerable.

The French and Spanish, and to a lesser extent the Dutch and English. France and Spain owned the most territory in the New World by a very wide margin.

But that's not really relevant. French was the lingua franca (hence the origin of that phrase) of Europe. Matters of international commerce or law were discussed in French. If you wanted to be a diplomat you had to speak French.

France was the language of law and trade in Europe up until WW2, when English finally supplanted it.

Depends on what colour you wanted.
Purple was considered the colour of royalty because the dye was derived from the harvesting of a particular species of sea creatures that only lived in specific parts of the world. Thus it was also fuck off expensive. Other colours, derived from more ordinary sources, were much cheaper and even a common peasant could 'afford' them.

>>3359360

Red dye is cheap as shit mate, you can get it from countless sources, that's why it's so popular.

>>3362092
Yellow is a little more difficult. Isn't saffron the only real source of it, besides that one lead compound and a few artificial compounds that are only possible in a lab? Besides that, there are a few flowers but most aren't native to Europe, I don't think.

Depends on what purpose you have for building it.
Seeing as a castle is also a home there is an incentive for making it reasonably pretty.
Some primary purposes of border fortifications such as Hadrian's Wall is to demonstrate the might of the builder and channeling trade which means that having it look good can be quite important.
