Russian revolution
Point of no return was 1905. Once given democracy they tried to vote out the monarchy twice. They were fucked beyond repair.
>>
French revolution was actually pretty peaceful, people still loved the king and everything

Too bad he tried to flee the country

>find out people grabbed the sword by the blade and used it as a club
>that samurai rarely used katanas
>that calvary charges didn't exist
>that chain mail can often stopped arrows
>that spears were better than swords

Wow. Why does Hollywood and games tell us lies? Why do we rarely see how historical combat really was?

Any more common misconceptions on ancient warfare?

Byzantine is a creation of the Germans to pretend like their Holy "Roman" Empire was one and undermine the real Romans. At no point in their history have the Western Romans called themselves Byzantines. The fact that modern Greek called hemselves Ellenes again instead of Romans is also a relatively recent thing. Where Ellene(Greek) had a pagan connotation but Roman had a Christian one.
