Seriously now, what's the point of wasting ammo like that? Why can't just one guy fire a round into his head and be done with it?
It's a team building exercise
>>1394074
>head
some of the guns had blanks in them but the soldiers weren't allowed to know who did or did not have a blank thus letting those with a conscience and guilt assume that they infact had the blank allowing them to assume they infact did not kill the man, also with multiple shooters guilt is further negated because it is spread between them all.
I've heard lots of reasons as to how he did it, either him just claiming empty siberian lands or attacking and subjugating cities in horrible economic situations. But I want to hear /his/'s take on it. So, what's your theories as to how he managed to take all that land and lose it like immediately after his death?
horses and bows
>>1394055
Was that really the source of all their success, though? Would've imagined that it's success rate would eventually fall, due to others adapting.
>But I want to hear /his/'s take on it.
Why would you ever want to do that

This did happen, but not until later. By the 1280s the Mongols were getting trounced.

Can anyone explain what this meme is trying to say? I feel like it is trying to say the US had nothing to do with any of these inventions, but all the info posted in it seems completely twisted and false, but I don't know enough about history to claim so.
BUT I FUCKING KNOW that Leonard Kleinrock, and the MIT are as american as the colt 1911 and cowboys
>>1393796
okay how are patents for the atomic bomb inventions, I've never heard any french atomic bomb testing.
>>1393796
I have never in my life heard an American say we invented any of those besides the top two. This meme was just made by someone who needs to get outside more.
>>1393806
well we didn't invent any of those, but we definitely improved them, or improved the production of them.
Clement Adler invented a glider with a steam engine.

None of the popular atheists know Scripture well enough to settle debates; neither do I follow the popular nor do your deluded retarded memes apply to me. My post was antitheist. I somewhat doubt your kind can learn new proper words.
Early protestants really were more or less the Wahhabists of their day.

You dodged a bullet, she sounds pretentious. I once went on a date with this girl, who went on about how she was into "visual art" beforehand. I am really into painting and film-making so I was intrigued, plus she had this interesting sort of thick hipster college girl style that for some reason, and I am not proud of, turned me on a lot. Needless to say she meant "installation art" had poor and unrefined taste despite going to a prestigious private school and was not even connected in anyway to the local art scenes, which I had grown up around and were heavily into this overgrown 90's multiculturalist installation art. I came off as a jerk, I'm sure, but I couldn't help it
I'm only upset I never got to sleep with her, for some reason I can only get thin women
So we can all agree that natural history/science museums are the best museums right?
0/10
Creationism not mentioned and bible is seen as fiction. Go to the Creation Museum instead. Anyone who tells you it's bad is a Darwinist.

Did the Hapsburgs have a generations long plan to marry into all of the houses of Europe? Because this seems absolutely sinister, damning one of your descendents to absolute retardation for a throne.
Or were they just simple opportunists that simply had a penchant for boning each other?
>>1392976
>real life Targaryens
Awesome
The Hapsburgs weren't medical experts, they didn't know if incest mutation was definite or not every time. They rolled the dice again and out popped that little mutant, and due to royal poltics and general life he was the only one in line when it came down to it
>Inb4 some contrarian talks about how he wasn't that bad of a king, since all the other advisors and political figures managed to run a somewhat competent spain.
>>1392976
A king could not marry a nobody. The only equal for the spanish habsburg king that wasn't hostile was another habsburg. It doesn't help that european monarchies have always been genetically close to each other.

Is it true that the US propped up Democratic Kampuchea? If so, why?
>>1392653
>democratic
there you go
No. Pol Pot came to power because the US simply stopped propping up the Cambodian Kingdom.
Democratic Kampuchea is one of the great tales is irony though, where the US fought against what they believed to be the evil Communists in Vietnam, only for the Vietnamese to bring more stability to Indochina and thwart the genocide going on in Cambodia.
>>1394887
Lmao you think the Viet commies did it out of pure heart?
Why doesn't Confederacy just doesn't made army from slaves and used them to overpower enemies with a human wave tactics?

>>1392529
By the end of the war they actually were using black soldiers, though I assume they were freed slaves.
Actual slaves would not have had alot of motivation to fight

How good were early handguns? If not good, why did anyone bother and not just use crossbows?
>>1392373
They werent great, bows or crossbows were far superior as killing machines in the early days. Guns were useful because they were terrifying and easy to use and dont require a lot of stamina to reload and operate
>>1392373
They didn't see much use until they developed to the point of being better than crossbows. Conventional bows were still better in some ways, but required a lot of training, unlike firearms or crossbows.
>>1392373
They went through plate armour a lot better than arrows and crossbow bolts. I sort of doubt the whole "easier to train" narrative simply because they would have been quite expensive compared even to crossbows, thus making them less usefull in arming a bunch of conscripts.
How historically accurate is this movie?
It's basically completely ficticious apart from the names of some of the characters. Google "Armarium Magnum Agora", since actually linking to it gets caught in the spam filter.
>>1392262
>How historically accurate
Not
>>1392280
I did not know about this. It's usually hard to get me pissy about entertainment but between this and Gods of Egypt I actually feel a bit salty.
