Would it actually have been possible for the Austrians to unite Germany instead of the Prussians?
How could this have been accomplished, and when was their best shot?
How would this Germany compare to the Prussian-led Empire?
Austrians held slavs under their territory, prussians did not. Pretty much your answer
>>877934
>Implying Austria could ever compete with Prussia.
If the Austrian empire ever looked remotely capable of uniting the Germanic people under one banner, Prussia had powerful allies before the unification and the prospect of an Austro-German superstate would piss many of them off.
So I'm going back to the gym next week and need your historical advice on how to become a legionary.
How did they train, where do they put they main emphasis while doing so?
Should I go for fitness or more muscle?
legday everyday for marching? mainly upper body for stabbing barbars?
Teach me /his/panics
>>877897
They trained with heavier fake swords and shields than what they would actually be fighting with in order to build up muscle strength.
A big part of the reason the Roman Legions kicked ass training wise was that they could carry everything they needed themselves. Every soldier was a pack mule.
>>877897
My friend swings around a sharp cold vintage claymore for upper body exercise.

Why are Teutons so shilled? They got fucking rekt everywhere.
Mans innate need for rigid rule, discipline and hierarchy.
>>877879
They're underrated if anything. The monastic state they built was among the most modern and best organised in Europe at that time.

Tell me more about the teutonic state please
How much of medieval English nobility was Anglo Norman? I'm not talking about just high lords, but knights as well. When did native nobility supercede the Anglo Norman one? What proportion of English knights had completely Anglo lineage?
>>877689
>How much of medieval English nobility was Anglo Norman?
Very very little of it. Literally within 20 years the entire Saxon aristocracy that had been in power for centuries had been completely destroyed.
>When did native nobility supercede the Anglo Norman one?
They just interbred with each other, there weren't very many Normans in England to begin with despite the memes, it literally took 50 years before the Normans evaporated as a separate class in England. Names are often used as evidence for that.
>What proportion of English knights had completely Anglo lineage?
>ever trying to get figures
Basically all English nobility after 1066 was French.
Look at the ancestry of any of the British aristocratic houses, it will almost always be of French descent, including the houses created after 1066.
>>878931
The Normans, and the Plantaganets and their cadet branches were of French descent. The Tudors had the blood of the Capet's via that wife of Henry V, but they came from Wales mostly
Germany and its European friends and the Allies have agreed on a peace treaty. It allows Russia to maintain it's pre-war borders so long as Germany can keep its other gains including France.
Germany breaks its ties with Japan allowing the allies to destroy Japanese influence in the Pacific. Over the next 2 years the coalition effort to eradicate Japan succeeds and America still develops the atomic bomb.
What does the next 10 years look like? 50?

Post underrated historical women.

I just learned about her a couple of weeks ago, never knew there were any female Islamic monarchs. In googling for her wiki article I just found out she has a tv series, so I guess she isn't really all that underrated.

>Trota of Salerno (also spelled Trocta) was a medical practitioner and medical writer in the southern Italian coastal town of Salerno who lived sometime in the early or middle decades of the 12th century. Her fame spread as far away as France and England in the 12th and 13th centuries. Thereafter, aside from a distorted reflection of her work that lived on in the Trotula treatises, her work was forgotten until it was rediscovered in the late 20th century.

Where did it all go so wrong?
Too much wen, not enough wu. Mongols had lots of wu, took all of Song's wen.
How did the Mongols win anyway? Were Chinese generals out of practice? Did they not read Sun Tzu?

how different would the middle east be if islam never touched it at all? would it have been a beacon of progressiveness and civilisation? or was it doomed for strife no matter what?
>>876635
That depends on a whole range of factors. Until you've qualified those it doesn't make much sense to discuss it
we cannot possibly know
Itd be the same. Look at the economy of south america, africa, asia
Tell me about the Roman occupation of Greece (why do they wear the tunics? etc.)
How did they acquire Greece? Everything I've read just simply states that they did so in 146 BC with little detail.
Was Greece an autonomous province because of how much the Romans had a hard-on for Hellenic culture?
How many wars between the two was there?
Both Greece and Rome were polytheistic. Were Greece still allowed to worship their own gods since they were pretty much the same as the Romans.
Roman architecture is obviously influenced by the Greeks. Was it different before the Roman occupation of Greece?
>>876612
There were a series of wars between Rome and Macedon, some small states asked for Roman protection which is how they got involved in Greece. The Athenians and others also rebelled and they were put down by Sulla which I think is the last time the Greeks really tried to stop Roman domination.
>>876628
If I'm not mistaken wasn't Macedon seperate to Greece? I know that after Alexander died mainland Greece was carved up into a bunch of city states, with Macedon becoming it's own kingdom.
Also didn't the Greeks support Carthage in one of the Punic wars?
>>876632
Macedon was separate but it was also the hegemon in Greece. Once Rome eventually defeated it the Romans naturally began to be the hegemon in Greece and then absorbed the various states within it over a century.
