It's often argued in /pol/ that the allied victory in WW2 was detrimental to the white European race as a whole and that the stigma of European nationalism was a catalyst for current social problems such as population decline.
If the victims of WW2 tend to be from majority white nations; Germans, Russians, Polish, French, Hungarian, Greek, Italian, British, and American, could it not be argued that the life lost in both direct victims and potential offspring was more detrimental to population numbers?
Do the postwar booms really recuperate the millions of lives lost?
>muh white european race
isn't even real
They had no problem slaughtering each other for thousands of years until they found foreigners to fight. And even then they kept killing each other.
'Brother wars' my ass.

Yeah, this. I fucking hate American perception of nationalism and equalizing it with race.

>Germans start two world wars
>The allies fault European nationalism died
What's the fucking matter with Germanboos?
What is known about the Canaanite civilization and people? Where they wiped out completely ?
are they distinct from Phoencians?
Baby killers

Apparently they were Giants in the bible and decedents of angles or something
The Israelites were Canaanites who later on tried to pretend they weren't.
How scary can one nerd be that you have to send your assassins all the way to Mexico to make sure he's killed?

Were there any contemporary critics of decimation? Did fear of it or response to it every spark mutiny?

>Did fear of it or response to it every spark mutiny?
If you get decimated it means you've already mutinied, and you were captured, so you're not exactly in a position to revolt again.
>>920303
Wouldn't that still be incentive for the survivors to desert?
>>920338
Well it was a very rare punishment you know, and only reserved for very bad cases.
You'd be surprised to know how harsh your fellow man can be when you really misbehave. Deserters and mutineers threaten and endanger the whole army with their action, they're a threat to fellow soldiers as much as they are to the officers. When it was really warranted, the men (outside of the culpable unit of course) didn't object.
It's pretty common to see soldiers wanting harsh discipline actually. When you...

Didn't they get assraped when their enemies changed their formation a bit?

meh, they mostly took advantage of having very very experienced soldeirs who were very good fighters, but they most just took advatage of groups who'd win by zerging their opponents with no military strategy. They are far from the only warriors to ever be "born warriors" and forced from childhood to train, they were really just the only classical greek country to really employ those type of military standards to their troops, which got heavily romanticized over the years by the romans, who we later romanticized....

The big H was never a particularly bright man
Romance Of The Three Kingdoms 13 will be coming out in english on July 5th. Will /his/ be picking up? Seems like a good way to get into Chinese /his/tory.

Yeah but dynasty warriors is way more fun!
>>919969
It's not as histroically accurate though.
>>919991
ROTK is novel based too. No KOEI game is historically accurate, they'd bomb the asian market if they didn't pander to shuboos.
so /his/, i was wondering about differences about middle age armors.
i love the oldest one (1000-1100 one, the "crusaders" or normans's one, with a basic chainmail+clothes on it and a very essential design) and also the more recent ones (plate armor and other stuff that was also used during renaissance), but it's believable a scenario were two population, one equipped with the first kind of armor and the other one with the second, could fight between each other without the second one easily win? were the armors so important during warfare, more than...

explain your picture to me
>>924292
I can't tell if you're shitposting or just foreign.
Either way, it would be funnily one sided. The whole reason plate came into being is because weaponry got better, and so did forging techniques. With better crossbows being developed, a Maille coat was no longer adequate protection.
>>924314
the guy on the left is historically inaccurate.
the other are basically right, crusaders wear the kinf of armor used basically in all northern europe (the normans helm of the fourth guy and the chainmail all over the body with a cloth on), the guy on the left wears a plate armor made and used just 1-2 centuries after last crusade
