Hello again, Khazakstan. I still feel as though you are an underated country. Dont say anything. Khazakstan is underated.

I mean Poland did control Moscow that one time.

@@d-phoenix2198 Yeah but other nations have only tanks, not winged hussars.

Yes march your troops in to a place basically nobody inhabits and where there are barely any cities and it is freezing tempratures.

When Nobunaga used massed firearms to defeat Takeda cavalry charges at the Battle of Nagashino, it is often characterized by modern historians as being "the end of an era", i.e. the new technology defeating the old ways. The problem is that the cavalry charge tactic in question was only like 2 years old at the time. Actual traditional Japanese cavalry used bows, whereas the new tactic was using spears.

The USA should have annexed Japan. They have so much in common.

true

*sigh sadly it’s true bout hour economies are bad the Greeks are already oofed and the Turks are collapsing already

i'm Greek and that's the truth...

The best part about this conflict is when your countrymen argue about a piece of land that would quite honestly make their country worse if they fought over it and annexed it

i dont know about turkey but greece is doing just fine

Nice 😎

But doing it often made a stonger harder steel because the folding process helped even out the carbon in the steel.

Well the Japanese swordsmiths were geniuses at getting the most out of their poor quality materials. That does make the Katana super impressive, but yeah not the best sword ever.

The meme itself is misleading. Medieval troops use swords as secondaries, just like a pistol. Their primary weapons are usually spears, bows, or guns (arquebus, musket)

@Reinhard Von müsel still in general use the spear is a superior weapon. With the same amount of training chances of winning a fight against a spear with a sword is very slim. It is proven even well before medieval times when we learned to throw rocks. Those with better range will always tend to win.

A Katana to a Samurai is like a pistol to a modern soldier, they would only use them in bad situations, if a soldier starts using his pistol then that means he's out of ammo and if a Samurai starts using his Katana then that means he fell off his horse and/or ran out of arrows.

While the German just make a gigantic swords because it was cool

Let me guest, Mehmet vs Stephen?

Ya scorched earth and Russian winter is bullshit argument, scorched earth did contribute but it was mostly Russian strategic military initiatives that won the war, further Russian winter only hit when Napoleon RETREATED from Moscow, further literaly everyone uses some form of scorched earth on their enemy to help win the war its stupied to leave supply centers for your enemies : To counter claims that the French defeat resulted from winter weather, Denis Davydov published a military historical analysis, titled "Was it Frost that Devastated the French Army in 1812?", wherein he demonstrated that the French suffered casualties in battles during relatively mild weather and outlined multiple causes for their defeat. He drew on both his direct observations and on those of foreign commentators, including French authors.[7] According to Chew in 1981, the main body of Napoleon's Grande Armée, initially at least 378,000 strong, "diminished by half during the first eight weeks of his invasion, before the major battle of the campaign. This decrease was partly due to garrisoning supply centres, but disease, desertions, and casualties sustained in various minor actions caused thousands of losses. At the Battle of Borodino on 7 September 1812-the only major engagement fought in Russia-Napoleon could muster no more than 135,000 troops and he lost at least 30,000 of them to gain a narrow and pyrrhic victory almost 600 miles inside hostile territory. The sequels were his uncontested and self-defeating occupation of Moscow and his humiliating retreat, which began on 19 October, before the first severe frosts later that month and the first snow on 5 November."[2] Lieven cites the difficulty of finding food for troops and forage for horses in winter as an important contributing factor.[6]

Tbh we wouldn't have helped if we could, just not at all in the people's desires back them

@@rueisblue yes but it just seems a little bit unfair just like a little bit after they helped us get independence we just left them to die and our main excuse was well we weren’t able to help which is a good excuse but if we were able to help we kind of just said Frick you

@@he2collinator the thing is, how do you help in the French revolution? It wasnt like the American revolution with a clear goal and an obvious politcal war. And if we did intervene it would have meant war with all of Europe

USA was helped by Louis XVI, they would never helped the french revolution. That's why the relations between France and US started to get tense after the revolution. A war was near at the end of the XVIIIth.

Hello my boi how are you today ?

Omg secong reply 🔥🔥

Probably lack of communication or miscommunication

Nationalism.

Make you wonder why there is 125 comments of yours in one channel alone, seems like bots are working good or you are just lonely.

I mean.... is being part of the same country an "Alliance?"

@@thebighurt2495 I think, when I was writing this comment, I meant for Scotland's "Am I a joke to you" to refer to the Ould Alliance and there rivalry with England. One could say that when James VI and I reigned Scotland and England were allies, though that would probably be called a very short alliance.

@@thebighurt2495 A kingdom is ambiguous, and is not really a Country. England and Scotland have always been independent countries, just like prussia was never really a country, but a kingdom, and a duchy. Regardless, none of this was uncontested

@@Rowlph8888 Eh, I feel like that depends on Era. "Nations" as we know them, didn't roll around until the mid 19th century. Before that, there were cultural (language-based) bonds. But many "Nations" since and now *are* Kingdoms still today, like Sweden and the UK, for example and Spain was one up until the '70s.

@@mrbowtieandproffez6334 Isn't that what they call a "Personal Union," like the one between Denmark, Sweden and Norway for a couple centuries?

Wait, are they enemies?

You can say that about a lot of countries with the nationalism...

Yes although im a turkish nationalist BUT i do NOT fight greek people for no reason

Wars alone, do not determine whether a rivalry is iconic. Where did those battles take place -well, in either Denmark, or Sweden. The Brits and the French, have either Fought all over the world, for Empire One-upmanship, had Varied cultural Influence, over the centuries, Which still last, Globally. They even had rivalries partitioning off different parts of the world globally, through-diplomacy, trying to manipulate each other, with diplomats playing a real version of the game. "Risk", in some random château somewhere eg: to get the best parts of an area of the world: e.g. Lebanon, Israel,Iraq, Iran, Syria

I don't really hear alot of people talk about the Baghdad house of wisdom

Fun fact- there is a town 20 miles to the north of the ruins of Nalanda university called bakhtiarpur. It is named after the invader who burnt the library- qutubdin bakhtiar kaki

Fun fact 2 - India's nobel prize winning economist Amartya Sen started a new Nalanda university somewhere else but it did not gain any traction and remains largely ignored.

I did not know about Frederic the Great doing so. It was done also by the first governor of Greece back in 1828-29, Ioannis Kapodistrias, who wanted to deal with the famine problem after the devastation of the land during the Independence War.of 1821-28. He imported a ship load of potatoes and these were meant to be distributed freely to farmers to be planted and start the potato cultivation in Greece. However people did not trust new stuff just like that, some political enemies were calling the new stuff "poison" telling people that "if they give it free to you, then you should wonder why". As such Kapodistrias anounced that initial orders were misunderstood and that the cargo of potatoes was actually very valuable and not to be distrubuted for free.... but told the guards to only "loosely guard those potatoes". In a few days the whole cargo was stolen and potato cultivation started in Greece! LOL!

Finally! I found someone with actual knowledge in the comments' section ! Thanks for existing

I thought there was going to be a second panel to the meme that mentioned this, but I was wrong 😅

@@rabiosas6473 Same

True asf

@JocularCard Nope it has never officially been dissolved.

Battles between each other do not determine rivalry, that is completely oversimplified.if one country has hegemony, the other is not going to attack, but is still a rival in multiple levels. During Pax Britannica, for over a century there was no way France was going to attack Britain, because it would have lost quickly and convincingly every time. However, the rivalry for cultural influence worldwide continued. The Brits have had more influence globally in modern history than any other nation, and France would be 2nd in this clearly, also

Even under Austriahungary?
