Why did westerners stop making castles and beautiful architectural structures like the used to? Literally all modern day architecture is shit. The Victorian houses are way better than houses created today.

That's bullshit, architects design the buildings, and the buildings look like shit aesthetically.

>Why did westerners stop making castles

When we invented guns and cannons. Seriously, all the cool shit like chain-mail, knight armor, swords, and castles were made obsolete by modern firepower. There's no reason to build a massive stone structure to defend against attackers when they can just bomb you from 1/2 a mile away.

This
Modern war is something entirely different, with ships that can hit from beyond the horizon that people can see, and even shit like drones coming out. There's no human spirit involved in the battles anymore, just capital.

Why? Because of cannons op. They came along and castles got btfo. Had to dig into the earth. But, on the upside, we got star forts. And these bitches are sexy.

Guns during the time of the late medieval ages were not able to pierce plate armor, but due to the high cost of production of plate armor it became obsolete. Explosives would destroy a knight in plate armor though. Basically, knights were not made obsolete by guns, but by the money required to be a knight.
