Why would an Irish peasant stab a french knight

during agincourt? because thats what they were told to do.

after? too many prisoners were taken and the irish had no scruples about shedding noble blood in cold blood

I'm certain they used Irish troops and specifically because for the price of a welsh archer, you could hire a few Irish men.

They stabbed fallen french knights, participated in the execution of french knights, and recollected fired arrows to restock the welsh archer's supply in addition to filling out ranks.

The Maginot Line was built to funnel Germans into attacking Belgium. What they didn't anticipate was getting flanked through the Ardennes, an area thought to be impassable to formations of any decent size.
>>
>>1065992
The initial plan was a line that would go to the ocean
But Belgium refused to let France build it on their shared border, so it became the mess you described

Because that was all according to a Venetian master plan, and frankly, Venice is cooler than Byzantium.

Italy did conquer Ethiopia. They had to use gas and their actions made North Africans distrust fascists more then they distrusted their French and British oppressors.

Oh yeah, sorry.

The Cold War ended in 1970's when the Sino-Soviet Split happened, and the OPEC/Arab States went their own ways and the third world neutrals increased in number.

The world stopped being Bipolar by that time. The 70's closely resembles the current multipolarity of global politics.

But Turks are already numerous in Germany, and have been for decades now. Immigration waves due to war is absolutely nothing new, the new thing is that western countries are now allowing more of them to stay, to counter their ever-dropping demographic growth. Everybody keeps forgetting that their arrival is part of a plan.

This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid collision.

Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES’ ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH–I SAY AGAIN, THAT’S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH–OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

For real though there's no reliable evidence that this happened. I'm Canadian and I'll admit that. But then again we have no pride and love acting inferior so maybe that's my bias.
