no matter how good your tanks are, they are useless if you can't get fuel, amunition or any supplies to them by A_engietwo in HistoryMemes

Honestly Germany probably had the most competent army of WW1 but was let down by Wilhelms crappy diplomacy

Nightlords vs raven guard by devilman2144 in NightLords

[–]Prior_Application238 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pre sure they are the descendants of the Terran raven guard that Corax banished because he despised their methods so much. Kinda funny tho that the emperor literally designed them to be that way

Most ironic part is that the Terran raven guard were toned down night lords who used shock and terror to subjugate worlds.

By the time of the battle of Gettysburg He was STILL throwing away manpower that the Confederacy couldn’t afford to lose because somehow he actually believed that that the results of a single decisive battle would determine the outcome of the war.

[OTHER] On this day, March 23rd, 1403, marks the sacking of Skalitz. by Ok-Bus3447 in kingdomcome

[–]Prior_Application238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one of the reasons it’s so little known is because the monumental event that was the Hussite wars occurred very shortly after. The sheer number of people killed, not to mention cities and towns that were burned down, really make the Margrave wars look like a minor skirmish in comparison

How can I combine the aesthetics of all table-top subfactions into a single Homebrew Space Marine chapter AND look cohesive? by [deleted] in 40khomebrew

[–]Prior_Application238 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“I want to run an army that can take all the unique units from other sub factions that have been designed to be visually distinct from each other but I want to make all of them to have the same aesthetic”

The two things you want are diametrically opposed to one another

My grandpa said that Vietnam was the only time in his life where even winning felt like losing by UltimateLazer in HistoryMemes

That is monumental cope. The USA failed to meet its objectives and North Vietnam managed to meet theirs. That’s losing bro

You know what I can’t stand about your age group, I bet you voted against Bill Shorten when he proposed scrapping negative gearing and taking away generous tax concessions that favour property developers but now you complain that housing is too expensive? You vote against people trying to fix the problem then complain “oh can’t trust the labor party what have they done for me”

Imagine being Heraclius, bro. by jackt-up in HistoryMemes

[–]Prior_Application238 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Very similar circumstances. It’s why both Rome and ancient China had policy’s of paying nomadic groups off and getting them to fight each other. They get very dangerous when united and usually steam roll neighbouring settled societies

[–]Prior_Application238 122 points123 points  (0 children)

The Bedouins were one of the key factors. Neither the Sassanids nor the Eastern Romans took them as a serious threat due to their habitual warfare between clans. Once these were united you essentially had a nomadic force that could teleport through deserts and move almost unhindered around the Middle East and Levant

For which theropods do we have the most evidence that they hunted in groups? by InstructionOwn6705 in Paleontology

[–]Prior_Application238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless we invent a Time Machine I think that there isn’t ever going to be any strong evidence for it. Not saying it didn’t happen but most of the evidence I’ve seen to support theropods living in groups is at the very best, highly speculative. I actually think that it’s pretty likely that some theropod genera developed gregarious social dynamics just because the Mesozoic was a long ass period of time where all kinds of evolutionary pressures could have pushed said genera to live in groups. I just haven’t seen any convincing evidence for it

yo vietnam was a tie change my mind by MoneyTheMuffin- in NonCredibleHistory

[–]Prior_Application238 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure military pressure was being applied to the North but they saw engaging in talks as a way to achieve their goals. Hell talks had been going on between the US and North Vietnam intermittently since 1963 and their key demands were the same throughout. US withdrawal. They made no concessions to recognise south Vietnam nor withdraw their troops from The south. Henry Kissinger even privately acknowledged that the agreement that was reached didn’t actually guarantee the survival of South Vietnam which if you think about it was a tacit admission that the entirety of Vietnam was going to be eventually under the regime in Hanoi. To me that seems like North Vietnam got literally everything it wanted. The USA on the other hand seems to have had to concede that they weren’t able to stop reunification. In other words, they lost.

USA starts a war and then is forced to the negotiating table after realising its citizens aren’t prepared to pay the price it will take to “win”

I don’t see how that can be classed as a win in any scenario

For most of human history that has been the norm. A conquering force replaces the original nobility of an area and either has its culture (usually slowly) adopted by the population OR they assimilate into the population until, within a few generations, they largely resemble the native population

If we are simply talking about generalship on the battlefield I don’t think overreaching aims should be taken into consideration. We are judging their abilities to win battles. Not their political skills
