  15. The Hre was an empire because all German states were legally bound to support the Habsburgs in the case of a reichskrieg. This worked during the Nine Years’ War, War of Spanish Succession, War of Polish Succession, War of First Coalition, and War of Second Coalition. During the Seven Years’ War, an internal reichskrieg was declared against Prussia, so most German states turned against Prussia.

  25. The Bhois of Orissa maintained minor maritime trade links with China. This is noted from the Manchu language memorials and edicts depicting contacts under the reign of Qing dynasty in China, when the Qianlong Emperor received a gift from the Brahmin (Ch. Polomen 婆羅門, Ma. Bolomen) envoy of a ruler whose Manchu name was Birakišora han of Utg’ali (Ch. Wutegali bilaqishila han 烏特噶里畢拉奇碩拉汗), who is described as a ruler in Eastern India. Hence referring to Birakisore Deva I of Khurda (1736–1793) who styled himself as Gajapati, the ruler of Utkala. Many of the gosains entering Tibet from China passed through his territory when visiting the Jagannath temple at Puri.[43] The reign of Tipu Sultan in Mysore saw Chinese technology used for sugar production,[44] and sandalwood was exported to China.[45]

Though you are right that such debate would make no difference to indigenous populations of any given region, they would very much notice the absence of autonomy OR equal political representation. Because a colony is neither a client state nor a first-level administrative division. Take for instance, the Sepoy rebellion, when Hindus and Muslims alike rallied around the Mughal emperor against the British. The Mughals governed each Indian region as an integral part of their empire, while the British did not. Both empires were exploitative, but it was the British who viewed India as nothing more than a cash cow. The difference was very much clear to the Indians.

  205. The effects of caste are overstated. Until the mughal and maratha/british eras, caste was not as rigid as popularly portrayed. Yes, kings were powerless because of caste feudalism, but thats no different than their european feudalist counterparts. Also makes no sense that you say merchants were despised, when India was at the heart of a global trade network for centuries, especially in Southeast Asia.

History is not a deterministic process in which trends past and current dictate the interactions. Your takeaway from history class is sufficient solely for a general overview, and nothing more. Every rule has an exception, and every exception has a rule. It’s not a complicated matter to mentally grasp.

Non-colonial empires have been just as oppressive as colonial empires throughout history. But the distinction is very much sociopolitical, and based on how the ruler views the ruled. Again, it is dictated by the core-periphery relationship, if we define colonialism as the establishment of colonies. It would be nonsensical to call India a colony of the later Mughals, when they had already assimilated for generations and considered the country their homeland. Hindus were second-class citizens, but they could enter the state bureaucracy in Delhi. Less so the bureaucracy in faraway London.

  420.  @fieldagent7170  pakistan is not only india. it also includes iranic balochistan and iranic afghania. and hindustan is not always a synonym for india. hindustan sometimes referred simply to the region of the gangetic plain, which includes pakistan. so even though the mughals and delhi sultanate did not rule all of the “land of the hindus” (india), they still called their country “hindustan”

  576.  @Historia_Magistra_Vitae.  Right-wing ideologies can be collectivist too. In fact, when the right-left distinction first emerged in post- Enlightenment Europe, right-wing politics started out as religiously collectivist monarchist conservatism, in contrast to left-wing individualist liberalism. The word “libertarian” was left-wing in origin. Only until liberalism was subsumed into conservatism, in opposition to radicals and socialists, were mainstream right-wing politics considered more “individualist.” Collectivist right-wing ideologies and political parties still exist, however, in the Islamic world, and in East Asia.

Even if the map exist, it is likely based off a series of calculations, not that Indians travelled all over the world - we know that bit isn’t true, they certainly didn’t reach the Americas. Also, Rome didn’t even exist yet during the Mahabharat period.

  688.  @kmmmsyr9883  Susan Bayly, an anthropologist, notes that "caste is not and never has been a fixed fact of Indian life" and the caste system as we know it today, as a "ritualised scheme of social stratification," developed in two stages during the post-Mughal period, in 18th and early 19th century. Three sets of value played an important role in this development: priestly hierarchy, kingship, and armed ascetics. Michael Wood affirms the same for the ancient period, caste before the early modern period was never what we think of it today. About Vijayanagara: The Hindu caste system was prevalent and it influenced daily life in the empire. The rulers who occupied the top of this hierarchy assumed the honorific Varnasramadharma (lit, "helpers of the four castes"). According to Talbot, caste was more importantly determined by occupation or the professional community people belonged to, although the family lineage (Gotra) and the broad distinction described in sacred Hindu texts (the four Varnas; namely the Brahmin or priestly, the Kshatriya or warrior, the Vaishya or merchant and the Shudra or artisan) were also factors. The structure also contained sub-castes (Jati) and caste clusters.[90] According to Vanina, caste as a social identity was not fixed and was constantly changed for reasons including polity, trade and commerce, and was usually determined by context.

  810.  @ewoudalliet1734  The period characterized as one of decentralization in the Ottoman political system.[2] Political and economic reforms enacted during the preceding War of the Holy League (1683-1699), particularly the sale of life-term tax farms (Ottoman Turkish: malikāne) instituted in 1695, enabled provincial figures to achieve an unprecedented degree of influence in Ottoman politics. This decentralization had once led historians to believe that the Ottoman Empire was in decline during this period, part of the larger and now-debunked Ottoman Decline Thesis, but it is now recognized that the Ottomans were successfully able to tie emerging provincial elites politically and financially to the central government.[3] The empire likewise experienced significant economic growth during much of the eighteenth century[4] and was, until the disastrous war with Russia in 1768-74, also able to match its rivals in military strength.[5] In light of this, the empire's history during this period is now generally viewed in more neutral terms, eschewing concepts such as 'decline' and 'stagnation'.[6] The Old Regime was brought to an end not by a single dramatic event, but by the gradual process of reform begun by Sultan Selim III (r. 1789-1807), known as the Nizam-ı Cedid (New Order). Although Selim himself was deposed, his reforms were continued by his successors into the nineteenth century and utterly transformed the nature of the Ottoman Empire.[7]

Theirs was, in their view, none other than the Roman Empire, founded shortly before the beginning of the Christian era by God’s grace to unify his people in preparation for the coming of his Son. Proud of that Christian and Roman heritage, convinced that their earthly empire so nearly resembled the heavenly pattern that it could never change, they called themselves Romaioi, or Romans.”

  868.  @joshk5157  india was on the verge of industrial revolution before the british came, it’s called proto-industrialization. regions like mysore and bengal were the wealthiest regions in the world because of this. for example, mughal bengal made up 12% of the world’s economy despite having only 3% of the world’s population, and they made up 40% of dutch exports outside europe. after independence from mughals, bengal continued to be an incredibly wealthy place, with textile weaving and farming wages comparable to britain. in certain areas like gdp per capita bengal even surpassed britain. as we all know, this industrial progress ended after britain invaded and looted the region, deindustrializing bengal to an abhorrent degree. however, after bengal was destroyed, mysore replaced bengal as india’s great proto-industrial power. back then in the 18th century, mysore’s gdp per capita and was around 2000, compared to britain’s 1800. this mainly came from silk, textiles, that sparked proto-industrialization. we can see this industrialization from iron rockets which mysore first developed and which britain later adopted, because you know, britain invaded mysore too, deindustrializing and looting the region just like bengal. you are right, caste system and brahmins didn’t help india’s economy. but islamic economics certainly did, as both mysore and bengal were ruled by islamic sultans. same with mughals, thus islamic economics was the reason for india’s wealth.

  869.  @joshk5157  yes because britain didn’t oppress the americans and australians because they were mostly british themselves - through genocide of natives of course. it was much the same in india, where the british were wealthier than indians through privilege. furthermore, when britain left america the americans had time to industrialize, while britain ended india’s industrialization bc india was colonized mostly in 19th century, after america was colonized.
    2
  870.  @joshk5157  yes there will be no country called india nor pakistan, and that’s for the better because all these alternate independent kingdoms would have been incredibly wealthy at the very least. however, india as a cultural concept did exist before britain came, like how europe is a cultural concept.
    2
  871.  @joshk5157  what in the world are you talking about... pharoahs did not exist in 18th century. egypt was economically stagnating under ottomans until muhammad ali almost industrialized egypt from 1815-1848. i’m saying, india’s was the richest because its gdp per capita was insanely high, higher than europe or china or africa. for example mysore’s gdp per capita was 2000 usd compared to britain’s 1800 usd in the 18th century, other european countries like france, germany, would have had even smaller gdp per capita. so yes, even if you combine all european countries in the 18th century, it would still have a smaller overall gdp than india. don’t even get me started on africa - that place barely had any people back then. the only real competitor to india before british came was china not europe.
    2
  872.  @joshk5157  “very backward economjcally and full of underdevelopment... india was like that during mughal rule” that’s because the entire world was completely different back then, not just india. if you’re going apply modern standards to past centuries and say only india was backwards in the 17th century, then you should also say britain was backwards in 17th century; gdp per capita between two countries were comparable

    2
  1007.  @Worldcitizen7777  You don’t know for sure. Helena may not even have been born in Greece, since she came from the Seleucid Empire in Persia, far from Rome. Also, history isn’t a transitive property. You’re going to need to back up your claim with a historical record that explicitly mentions such a conversation. Then again, I don’t know what I’d expect from a user who calls themselves “GAMERS.”

  1009.  @Worldcitizen7777  Even if it were true, which it most likely isn't, the map seems to be more of a mathematical projection done within India, not evidence that the Indians attained contact with Rome, to say nothing of Australia or the Americas
    2
  1010.  @Worldcitizen7777  "how can Indians make a world map without going anywhere" Simple: they didn't. There is no evidence of Indian civilization in North and South America. And the transportation technology of 3000 BCE certainly wouldn't have supported such an endeavor.
    2
  1011.  @Worldcitizen7777  It clearly doesn't, it's a fabrication by later Indian nationalists. You would have to actually cite the exact page number and verse to verify the map's existence.
    2
  1012.  @Worldcitizen7777  Literally every other ancient civilization knew the Earth was round; that's not much of an accomplishment. Going by your logic, the ancient Greeks and Romans also constructed a world map and travelled to the Americas
    2
  1013. ​ @Worldcitizen7777  Ok so how can I debunk it if you won't even cite the verse and book edition. Have you even read the Mahabharat in the first place? I'm afraid the burden of proof is not on me, but on the person who is making the claim in the first place.

But when they struck again, it would be decisive. It’s telling that there was never a “Sultanate of Vienna” that conquered 90% of Europe, like the Delhi Sultanate and Mughals did in India.

The terrain was not good for Mughals even though they had experience fighting there. The terrain east of the Indus was much better, that’s why Mughals could expand as far as they could. That’s also why Nader Shah was able to easily annihiliate the the Moghuls in 1739. Furthermore, the terrain could not produce many horses, so Persia and the Ottomans were major exporters of horses to the Mughals. From the start, there was an unequal cavalry ratio.
    2
  1235.  @shehzadadarashikoh9463  wealth, population, doesn’t equate to power, if so then the mughal empire with 15 times the population and wealth of persia should have been able to conquer persia over and over. but they didn’t, because military might is more than throwing money at your soldiers. until the industrial age, regions with more horses were always at an advantage over regions with less horses, or they had parity at least. harsh terrain is itself a symptom of good horse-breeding grounds. if population and wealth meant anything, then ming china should have conquered mongolia several times in the 16th century, never happened.

  1258.  @levongevorgyan6789  Armenia was not a colony of Rome because it was a vassal state and condominium. To be a colony implies lack of imperial integration (an administrative distinction between mother country and colony) as well as the absence of native rule (this leaves out most vassal states). You can colonize a territory in a biological sense, by settling the land, but it is not colonialism per se, because otherwise every single empire in history would be considered colonial.
    2
  1259.  @levongevorgyan6789  The Turks colonized Armenia, but this alone does not make it “colonialism,” which entails the establishment of colonies. Armenia was very much not a colony but an eyalet, the first-level administrative division of the empire, like a province. Unless one would want to call Alsace-Lorraine a colony of Imperial Germany, Occitania a colony of France, or Catalonia a colony of Spain.

  1404.  @Historia_Magistra_Vitae.  Yes, classical liberalism is on the right because it prioritizes individual liberty over equality, in the form of not just political and social liberalism, but economic liberalism. This naturally creates hierarchies that are economic in nature, not based off feudal privileges. Equality is promoted only insofar as it maximizes this “liberalism” for everyone. Whereas socialism tends to prioritize equality over freedom, through social ownership of the means of production. So equality/inequality is still the determinant of the left/right split.
    1
  1405.  @Historia_Magistra_Vitae.  Would you consider the Taliban, Muslim brotherhood, Wahhabism not to be right-wing? As well as the LDP of Japan, and the KMT? Would you consider anarchism, commonly regarded as left-wing, to be right-wing instead?
    1
  1406.  @Historia_Magistra_Vitae.  Care to explain how Islamist extremists believe in egalitarianism, if they are so left-wing?
    1
  1407.  @vcxz5248  Classical liberalism doesn’t have clearcut stances on sociocultural issues, I believe. I would say it’s more centre-right owing simply to the emphasis on economic liberty.
    1
  1408.  @Historia_Magistra_Vitae.  And we should trust your definition of left-wing = collectivism, right-wing = individualism, based off what?
    1
  1409.  @regisglass5464  You would be more right about classical liberalism, it is rather apathetic towards the individual rights debated today. Libertarianism, on the other hand, prioritizes liberty above everything else, regardless of the demands of the state and market. It can either be collectivist (libertarian socialist) or individualist (right-libertarian).
    1
  1410.  @regisglass5464  Fascists were palingenetic ultranationalists, so they spoke of a non-existent, idealized past, and the “national rebirth” of it. In that sense, they were sometimes considered revolutionary as well as reactionary, borrowing futurist/modernist themes in their art and architecture, as they wanted to upend the entire social order. Some of their “progressive” policies, like eugenics, crackdown on organized religion, experimentations with polygamy, anti-regionalism, and economic interventionism, would be anathema to conservatives of then and now.

    1
  1503.  @historylessons893  After the Tughlaq dynasty of Delhi, the Bahmanis, Deccan Sultanates, Jaunpur Sultanate, Malwis, Gujaratis, and Bengalis all became independent Muslim states. These coincided with the Vijayanagara Empire, Rajputs, and Gajapatis. And yes the Marathas defeated the Mughals. But they did not conquer Muslim Bengal, Mysore, the Carnatic, Hyderabad, Awadh, and Sindh.
    1
  1504.  @historylessons893  Whole eastern europe beyond the danube was not even considered “europe” at the time of the huns and scythians. And yes they lost North Africa and Turkey. But no Muslim power ever reached the Scandinavia or the Low Countries, much less the British isles. Whilst many have invaded Tamil Nadu, the farthest point in India. The Vijayanagar Empire defeated the Bahmani Sultanate. Then the Deccanis defeated the Vijayanagar Empire. The Rajputs defeated the Malwa and Gujarat Sultanate. Then the Mughals defeated the Rajputs. And the Gajapati dynasty as well. Marathas raided and plundered and extracted tribute. But they could never dislodge Muslims from Bengal, South India, and the Northwest. They could not even govern their internal territories properly, there was no centralized and sturdy bureaucratic state apparatus. The simple fact of the matter is that one-third of the subcontinent is Muslim today. While in Europe it is less than 5%. And the Indians could never recover Pakistan or Bangladesh, unlike Europeans with North Africa and the Levant during the colonial age.

  1505.  @historylessons893  You need some history lessons man… Franks never fought against Scythians, and they barely controlled much of Eastern Europe in the first place. They did help with the Christianization of Slavic and Magyar tribes though.

  1507.  @historylessons893  The Franks defeated the Magyars in 955 and converted them to Christianity. So in reality they were expanding the frontiers of Christianity, instead of reclaiming lost land. Few conquerors in India have converted to Hinduism.

  1588.  @joshk5157  even if britain never brought their technology to india, who’s to say india wouldn’t have developed that technology themselves, judging by india’s pre-colonial absurd economic growth and proto-industrial activity?
    1
  1589.  @joshk5157  colonialism benefited almost every country except india, pakistan, bangladesh. for example, africa cost the europeans more money than africa gave back, europeans colonized africa mainly for prestige, while britain colonized india for their wealth in opium, textiles, silk, tea, etc.

  1590.  @joshk5157  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_Subah https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_Kingdom_of_Mysore
    1
  1591.  @joshk5157  you have a very flawed view of economics. textiles, opium, silk, and tea would obviously account for less of the gdp today because they aren’t as relevant to the global economy anymore. the fact that the british ruined their industries, stifling production, also didn’t help.
    1
  1592. @UCGyB-7mPcF4ZLDrflggbmNw india is not on verge of industrialization because of the british. otherwise india would have likely industrialized in the 1840s at the latest, since bengal saw proto-industrial activity since 1700. also most of those social evils you mentioned basically apply to europe in the 1700s; but you’re talking about a hindu society. mysore and bengal were muslim societies. either way, there is not one way to industrialization, soviets and japanese had basically nothing in common with britain yet still industrialized.
    1
  1593.  @joshk5157  that’s what i’m saying bruv. but you’re acting as if india couldn’t develop its own industrial economy like britain. speaking of which, britain’s wool is also no longer valuable because of industrialization, yet britain still developed industrial economy. so why can’t india. industrial economies are not exclusive to specific nations.
    1
  1594.  @joshk5157  again you’re assuming india couldn’t have developed those hospitals and universities by themselves. and you keep mentioning caste, which was barely a feature in islamic societies like mysore and bengal. but even so, how much did those british hospitals and universities actually help india with its gdp per capita decline under british rule?
    1
  1595.  @joshk5157  it doesn’t matter the products, it matters the industrial potential. and britain ruined india’s industrial potential first in 1757 and then in 1799
    1
  1596.  @joshk5157  i do admit india is now a sh*t place bc not only because of british colonization but also because the government is dominated by hindus and hinduism and caste is bad for society. colonial mentality too. otherwise india would be equal to israel in gdp per capita by now, since india was not always dominated by hinduism and castes, rather islamic economics.
    1
  1597.  @joshk5157  britain absolutely committed genocide against natives and you don’t want to be a genocide denier, do you? it was only after american revolution that britain stopped bc now both brits and natives were against usa, though canada still has a history of genocide
    1
  1598.  @joshk5157  india lost potential because of britain, it may be a net beneficiary in absolute terms, but it would be even more of a net beneficiary if britain never came in the first place.
    1
  1599.  @joshk5157  british did not oppress americans at all to the degree you’re implying. britain didn’t even rule americans that much, they just sort of let the americans do their own thing without much crown interference, which is why american revolution never should have happened. in fact, british colonies in north america trusted the british more than they trusted each other.
    1
  1600.  @joshk5157  they may call it accomplishment because marathas or mughals or mysoreans did not loot their indian lands to the degree british did. ever wondered why india under mughal empire was top economy in the world only behind china, but british india’s economy was lower than britain’s? mughals and other rulers weren’t looking only for profit, they seeked to turn india into their home instead of a cash cow like how britain treated india. also stop bringing up caste. not all indian societies were caste, the most successful indian states were usually muslim.

  1602.  @joshk5157  “worse than africa?” did you not read all the sources i provided, all my replies about the posts about bengal, mysore and mughals? that india was richest region in world both in gdp and gdp per capita, before british came? did you really not read at all? and how do you know the corruption and oppression in india isn’t a product of british rule?
    1
  1603.  @joshk5157  “mughals and islamic leaders are the ones who really destroyed india?” again, did you not read all those replies, links, sources, i sent you about indian economic growth under islamic rulers from the 16th to 18th centuries, and that india was the top economy of the world during mughal rule? even parts of india were economically dominant, just mughal and post-mughal bengal for example made up 12% of world gdp in 18th century despite only making up 3% of its population, all that wealth was looted by britishers and now bengal/bangladesh is a super poor region
    1
  1604.  @joshk5157  who cares what british gave to india. the fact is, british looted 45 trillion from india, stifled economic development, lowered living standards for a century in certain regions, and overall made india the shthole it is today especially since the inventions britain sent to develop india like which you mentioned were used not for indian people but for british profit at the expense of indians.
    1
  1605.  @joshk5157  mughals had great emperors that gave empire prosperity like akbar, jahangir. others are not so kind but nonetheless they continued indian economic growth so that their successor states like mysore, hyderbad, bengal could maintain living standards similar or higher to europe and china back then.
    1
  1606.  @joshk5157  we all know you are driven by apologism and a sense of western neoconservatism. i can see this from all your anti-biden videos. not that i care about biden much, in fact i prefer trump over biden. but anyways, you can’t just claim india should repay west for their electricity, bus, trains, aeroplanes, computers, mobiles, internet, the world doesn’t work that way. in that case, west should pay africa for all those hunter-gatherer tools, india for several mathematical concepts and iron rockets, islam for their numeral system, and china for tea, firearms, paper, printing press, proto-steam engine, proto-rockets. obviously britain shouldn’t pay these civilizations, so india shouldn’t pay britain either.
    1
  1607.  @joshk5157  i don’t know what you’re trying to say... mughals tried to veil indian women, since they didn’t outright want to do anything to indian women. in fact mughal emperors like aurangzeb tried to save indian women from suttee, or burning of widows.
    1
  1608.  @joshk5157  speaking of human rights, caste system in india was accentuated by british rule because british found it more efficient to deal through with higher castes. and the effects if caste still haunt india today...
    1
  1609.  @joshk5157  british did not do anything nor care about women and human rights in india. all they cared about was profit. and because of that, all indians, regardless of man or woman, suffered.
    1
  1610.  @joshk5157  i agree, caste system is a bug reason why india is not a superpower now. but it wasn’t their fault, because like i said, the british found it easier make deals with higher castes, so caste system was promoted under british rule. whereas under mughal emperor aurangzeb, caste and other hindu social evils were repressed
    1
  1611.  @joshk5157  i can assure you that you don’t understand islam any better than i do. but that is not the point, no matter what or how mughals or british treated women or hindus, the fact is that british treated india as a whole regardless of gender, as a cash cow for their convenience, and india suffered economically for more than a century because of it.
    1
  1612.  @joshk5157  has it ever occurred to you that... the islamic world isn’t suffering because of the backwardness of their religion, but rather western colonialism and interventionism that is still happening today?

  1613.  @joshk5157  what does this have to do with how poor islamic world is

  1614.  @joshk5157  you’re talking about the most extreme islamic societies. there is not much polygamy, even in ottoman times. most muslim women can drive cars, even in saudi arabia thanks to the recent law. divorce is uncommon in islamic societies because it is seen as shameful, no matter how easy it is according to islamic law. not all countries have sharia law, even ottoman empire interpreted it differently. as for the ban on watching sports, idk what you’re talking about. and you’d have to be insane to think islamic jihad violence is threat to humanity - how many americans did islamists kill? 3000, right? how many muslims did americans kill? millions.
    1
  1615.  @joshk5157  i’ve said this over and over, humanity is interconnected and it’s wrong for any country to claim an invention is theirs, so everyone who uses it must repay.
    1
  1616.  @joshk5157  india should stop using british stuff? so you mean, british should stop using islamic/indian stuff like their numeral system and algebra, as well as chinese stuff like tea, printing press, rudder, compass, rockets? obviously britain shouldn’t, neither should india. i recognize this is the same with economics, both britain and india have been looted multiple times. which is why i am not asking britain to repay india. i’m only asking you to acknowledge that britain looted 45 trillion from india and did more bad than good.
    1
  1617.  @joshk5157  please focus on my arguments. until you have a clear counterpoint to these facts, you’re not winning this debate: -india’s gdp per capita stagnated during british rule -india was in the process of proto-industrialization before british rule, especially in regions of mysore and bengal. all that progress was lost when british invaded and looted. -under mughals, marathas, mysoreans, bengalis, india was world’s top economy behind only china. during british raj, india was nowhere on the top list. -the average life of indian in 18th century was equal to or better than an average european or chinese. that changed under british rule. if britain wasn’t the cause for these sudden changes, tell me the real reason
    1
  1618.  @joshk5157  and what about the indian, islamic, chinese technology that british use?
    1
  1619.  @joshk5157  you are a man full of rage. i’ve come to the conclusion that you’re a delusional member of the neoconservatives and possibly the alt-right. either that or you’re just a troll, judging by your indian-like typing pattern and the fact that you never focus on refuting my arguments, instead saying over and over that indians should thank british for their technology.
    1
  1620.  @joshk5157  i accept that british inventions helped india’s development. i am saying no lies to deny that fact. now, in return, can you accept that british looted 45 trillion from india, diminished living standards, and deindustrialized india?
    1
  1621.  @joshk5157  you say i have lost statistically, yet you have not provided any statistics yet unlike myself. care to enlighten me on what those statistics are, that can prove pre-british india did worse than british india?
    1
  1622.  @joshk5157  islamic countries are diminishing economically because of the west, but for a different reason from india - sykes-picot, creation of israel, imperialism, and american interventionism in iraq, afghanistan, etc.
    1
  1623.  @joshk5157  you’re not making any sense, that is not how gdp works. gdp is calculated over the course of a year, while britain took 45 trillion from india over the course of a century. so for example, british gdp in 1850 wouldn’t be 45 trillion because some of that money is spent and the full 45 trillion hasn’t even been collected yet. furthermore, gdp calculates all the goods and services produced within a year, it doesn’t calculate material wealth like the 45 trillion i mentioned. do you understand now?
    1
  1624.  @joshk5157  i already did: you’re talking about the most extreme islamic societies. there is not much polygamy, even in ottoman times. most muslim women can drive cars, even in saudi arabia thanks to the recent law. divorce is uncommon in islamic societies because it is seen as shameful, no matter how easy it is according to islamic law. not all countries have sharia law, even ottoman empire interpreted it differently. as for the ban on watching sports, idk what you’re talking about. and you’d have to be insane to think islamic jihad violence is threat to humanity - how many americans did islamists kill? 3000, right? how many muslims did americans kill? millions. even so, what does human rights have to do with how much harm british did to india?

  1625.  @joshk5157  interesting that you say islam is greatest threat to the world, yet you criticize china’s handling of uyghur muslims in your latest video. it seems that you really are a hypocritical right-winger who spends all day in an echo chamber. very interesting indeed.

  1956.  @artruisjoew5473  it doesn’t matter, it’s still large enough to be a superpower especially when compared to the weak navies of franc-afrique and the middle east. the ussr’s navy was small compared to the us too yet they were still a superpower and could exert influence globally
    1
  1957.  @artruisjoew5473  france is ranked #1 in the world for soft power, and can project power from their bases all over the pacific, americas, and especially africa. explain why the ussr, with a small navy compared to the usa, also was a superpower
    1
  1958.  @artruisjoew5473  at this point you are bending the definition of superpower
    1
  1959.  @artruisjoew5473  france has a lot of soft power in twenty african countries, backed up by their bases there in what is called franc-afrique, which would have existed even without us aid
    1
  1960.  @artruisjoew5473  a superpower is defined by google as: a very powerful and influential nation. and by wikipedia as: A superpower is a state with a dominant position characterized by its extensive ability to exert influence or project power on a global scale. This is done through the combined means of economic, military, technological and cultural strength as well as diplomatic and soft power influence. So military is not all there is to being a superpower, much less a navy.
    1
  1961. ​ @artruisjoew5473  and you seem to have missed the "done through combined means of economic, military, technological, and cultural strength as well as diplomatic and soft power influence" part. a military, or as you say, a navy is not the only way to project power or influence.
    1
  1962.  @artruisjoew5473  it’s a bit of an understatement to call the french and british navies “weak” when they are the sixth and fifth most powerful in the world respectively. what, you think the mighty guinean, senegalese, and gabonese navies are going to force the french out of west africa? or the argentines will somehow retake the falklands from the weak uk navy?

    1
  1966.  @andrefalksmen1264  there was this thing called reichskrieg, or turkenkriege, requiring all the german and italian states of the holy roman empire to send troops whenever the holy roman emperor, or austrian archduke, declared war on the ottomans. so in a formal way, the kingdoms of germany were against turkey in 1716-1718, 1736-1739, and 1787-1791
    1
  1967. ​ @andrefalksmen1264  most german states sent troops to austria during their wars with the turks anyways, religion doesnt matter
    1
  1968.  @andrefalksmen1264  it may show no troops sent by an independent german state, but that's because they would be fighting in under the army of the holy roman empire, which recruited troops from all over germany (and italy), instead of fighting under the banner of a single german state. in any case, the army of the holy roman empire, and later the imperial army, represented the full force of germany or the holy roman empire under a formal guise.
    1
  1969.  @andrefalksmen1264  it does, because the army of the holy roman empire collectively represents the army of the entire empire, not individual german states.
    1
  1970.  @andrefalksmen1264  if only the individual states of saxony and austria sends troops to fight the ottomans, then does that really count as a pan-german effort? no, which is why reichskrieg counts.

    1
  2046.  @zack2804  That is not a claim taken seriously by academia, more accurate estimates fall between 17 to 35 million. Besides, the Persian empire that the Romans faced (Sasanians) exercised control over a smaller area.

  2048.  @zack2804  1. The Cambridge History of Iran was published decades ago. Don’t expect newer research to align completely with it. 2. Let’s say the Achaemenids controlled 60 million people. Most of that population resided in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley anyways. Not to mention sizable population centers in Anatolia, the Levant, and Central Asia. Only a fraction would be from the Iranian plateau.
    1
  2049.  @zack2804  Op is implying specifically that the Romans couldn’t conquer Persia because it was “heavily populated.” This bit is not particularly true, in fact Persia was far less densely populated than Roman provinces in Egypt, Anatolia, Greece, and Syria. The real reason has to do with geography and distance.

  2167.  @rafaelglopezroman1110  mughals were extremely centralized because the entire empire was run by provincial governors except for rajasthan. this is very centralized for indian, european, southeast asian, and african history
    1
  2168.  @rafaelglopezroman1110  the mughal empire before 1707 was centralized. absolutist prussia and france are small footnotes in history. for much of european history, the kingdoms were extremely decentralized, and nobility mattered a lot. spain, austria, england, the holy roman empire, nor the kingdom of italy were nowhere near as centralized as france, for instance. And absolutist france didn’t abolish feudalism, that was done by french revolutionaries. And the nation state you are talking about is hindustan, hindustan was the closest thing to an official name for the Mughal empire, it had been in use since the delhi sultanate. Outsiders like nader shah also called the mughal empire hindustan even though they did not rule all of india at the time. This is because hindustan sometimes only meant the gangetic plain, as opposed to all of india. So when mughal empire collapsed, the mughals still ruled most of the gangetic plain, they had a smaller and less diverse empire and their people in delhi were very loyal until the very end of the sepoy mutiny.
    1
  2169.  @rafaelglopezroman1110  i never said the mughal empire was a nation state. i only suggested the possibility for one, based on the ages-old concept of northern hindustan. Besides, centralized empires are not free from ethnic conflicts, otherwise, how did the delhi sultanate collapse? How did the chinese empires collapse? How did the roman and persian empires collapse? It seems you have a misunderstanding of centralization and how it affects empires. Feudalism and centralization are not mutually exclusive; russia and france in the 17th and 18th centuries were both. And you’re wrong when you say the nobles were powerless. In fact, they dominated the court. And nizams of hyderabad plus oudh were still strong enough to raise armies in the hundreds of thousands in their own right.
    1
  2170.  @jupe2001  what you say is simply not true. the maratha empire was anything but centralized. tax collection was completely random depedning on the province, unlike the mughal empire, which had an efficient administration. otherwisee, how was it able to suck up 20% of india’s gdp for the court. the coinage was also established and standardized, unlike in the maratha empire. in general, living in the maratha empire would be more chaotic than in the mughal one; maratha empire depended somewhat on the plunder of enemy territories; notice how they repeatedly but sporadically raided bengal. the only territory directly ruled by the marathas was pune or maharashtra. the only territory indirectly ruled by the mughals was rajasthan. notice how most mughal territories were collectively called subahs or provinces, while marathas were a collection of vassals made up of maratha clans; nagpur, holkars, indores to name a few. there’s a reason the marathas were called the maratha confederacy, mughals were never called the mughal confederacy. and the fact that mughals used persian or turkic administrators proves that the mughal empire was centralized because it can use foreigners to directly rule its territories and didn’t need to depend on locals for administrators, like in a decentralized empire.
    1
  2171.  @jupe2001  “only rivalled by europeans” few european countries were centralized at this time. in areas like spain, england, austria, germany, and italy, feudal privileges mattered more than bureaucracy or meritorcracy.

    1
  2174.  @jupe2001  the mughals rarely raided for the sake of raiding. they only oppressed their own people. all their invasions weren’t sporadic. by contrast, marathas attacked bengal several times for the sake of raiding and loot. also, i did acknowledge the existence of the other maratha houses, however they were essentially vassals to pune (mahrashtra), and not subahs or provinces

  2175.  @jupe2001  the mughals did have a bureaucracy.
    1
  2176.  @jupe2001  i never said the mughals were great. i’m merely pointing out that the mughals were more centralized, hence why they could be more oppressive. a decentralized empire could not reach that level of exploitation like the mughals. but because i’m not worshiping the maratha empire, you automatically assume otherwise and start using strawman arguments. also, where are you from? if you’re from anywhere in the indian subcontinent, you’ll probably have a more biased perspective than someone outside the subcontinent, who would have a more neutral view.

In times of war instead of giving them safe and security they were annexed as war booty along with other spoils of war and were transported to the home of the victorious party and then used for their filthy purposes. This practice was prevalent in the tamil country even from the Sangam age. Pattinappalai12 refers the women captives as Kontimakalir and elaborates that they were ill-treated by using them to light lamps in the temple at Kaveripoompattinam. Padirrupattu13 further states that the women captives were tonsured by cutting their hair to make robe and dragged the Kavel tree out of it by using elephants. During the Chola period the women captives were not only ill-treated and tonsured but also killed them without showing any mercy. For instance the Hottur inscription14 Satyasraya states that the Chola army after ravaging the Chalukyan country murdered many women and children. The Chola kings did not leave even the royal queen and the princess from the defeated country. They were brought home and used to satisfy their base pleasures. For instance Virarajendra, the Chola king after defeating the Chalukyan army captured the only daughter of the Chalukyan king named Naglai and after raping her he cut off her nose15. In the same way the Manimangalam inscription of Rajathiraja I states king Virasalamegan captured his wife, daughter, sister and cut off their noses16. Similarly at the battle of Koppam Rajendra II defeated the Chalukyan forces and captured the two Chalukyan queens Satiyavvai and Sangappai and took them home17. The Polonanuruva inscription18 of Mahinda II says that along with the royal treasures the Chola army of Rajaraja I carried away the queens of the Ceylonese ruler. The Pandyas also continued such inhuman practices. They forced the defeated queens to do menial services. For instance Jatavarman Sundara pandya after his victory over the Cholas had captured all women including the chief queen and other auspicious objects before the Pandya ruler19. These instances testify that the medival Tamil ruler rather considering women as their equals, treated them as objects at their disposal.

But i don’t believe there was jenuside in iraq. So russia did not commit jenuside either. You simply can’t call any war you hate a jenuside. It doesn’t work that way. They are “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such." Putin doesn’t want this, that’s why he offered peace terms at first. He doesn’t care about ukrainians, he only doesn’t want a country intertwined culturally with russia to join the west

    1
  2305.  @foolsgold9993  search up the video "Top 15 Countries By GDP (1600-2019) " and you'll see that ottoman gdp until around 1700 was 50% higher than france and russia's despite having only 20% more people, and more than 100% higher than italy's and germany's (hre) despite having only 20% more people than italy and roughly equal population with germany. poland-lithuania and spain had equal gdp per capita, but plc was mostly serf-based and spain constanly suffering bankruptcy.
    1
  2306.  @foolsgold9993  honestly it shouldn't be surprising ottoman gdp per capita was higher bc historically west asian average gdp per capita was up to 50% richer than european average gdp per capita. look at the persian empire, umayyads, abbasids, khwarezm, etc.
    1
  2307.  @foolsgold9993  ottoman rule was relatively light even if concentrated in only a few people. they paid less attention to balkans beyond bulgaria, algeria, egypt, arabia, etc and let people do their own things for the most part. the exception of course were the janissaries, but that was also social mobility in disguise. janissaries were highly respectable and loyal to sultan. it was profitable to the family too, in fact many families begged to sell their kids to ottomans.

  2362.  @zuesmaya8167  India remained the richest country under the Mughals, but real living standards declined starting in the 17th century. Foreign visitors found it jarring the disparity between rich and poor in Mughal India. All in all the Mughals and Delhi Sultans were heavily extractive states. Like I said it was not profit-driven in the same way as capitalist and industrial Europe, but more along the lines of traditional Near Eastern revenue collection
    1
  2363.  @zuesmaya8167  According to the economists Angus Maddison, Stephen Broadberry, and Bishnupriya Gupta, there very much was a GDP per capita decline in India during the 17th century. Take a look yourself: Maddison Project 2020: Indian GDP PPP per capita in 1600: 735 (in 1990 international dollars) 1650: 691 1700: 676 1750: 621 1800: 601 1820: 545 1850: 551 1870: 494 Broadberry & Gupta (2010): Indian GDP PPP per capita in 1600: 782 (in 1990 international dollars) 1650: 736 1700: 719 1750: 661 1800: 639 1820: 580 1850: 586 1870: 526 I have yet to see any source that indicates an increase in Indian GDP PPP per capita. Also, it's true that polities like Mysore and Bengal had a GDP per capita comparable to Western European countries. But their regional circumstances simply cannot be extrapolated to other parts of India. By the 18th century, the average Indian's wages were below half of those in Europe.

  2369.  @shanuyok615  The Bengal Subah had the largest regional economy in that period. It was described as the paradise of nations. The region exported grains, fine cotton muslin and silk, liquors and wines, salt, ornaments, fruits, and metals. European companies set up numerous trading posts in Bengal during the 17th and 18th centuries. Dhaka was the largest city in Bengal and the commercial capital of the empire.[citation needed] Chittagong was the largest seaport, with maritime trade routes connecting it to Arakan, Ayuthya, Aceh, Melaka, Johore, Bantam, Makassar, Ceylon, Bandar Abbas, Mocha and the Maldives.[50][51][page needed] Parthasarathi estimates that grain wages for weaving and spinning in Bengal and Britain were comparable in the mid 18th century.[52] However, due to the scarcity of data, more research is needed before drawing any conclusions.[53] The peak of Mysore's economic power was under Tipu Sultan in the late 18th century. Along with his father Hyder Ali, he embarked on an ambitious program of economic development, aiming to increase the wealth and revenue of Mysore.[58] Under his reign, Mysore overtook Bengal Subah as India's dominant economic power, with highly productive agriculture and textile manufacturing.[59] Mysore's average income was five times higher than subsistence level at the time.[60]

  2372.  @LongJohnSilver-es6hj  Spain and Portugal were peripheral regions that eventually kicked out the Muslims on their own. And after 1212 there was only one negligible Muslim state left, so most of the peninsula experienced only 500 years of Muslim rule. Yet Muslim dynasties ruled the center of India for the same amount of time, and even penetrated the South. No Muslim state ever existed in Germany, France, or the Low countries.

  2373.  @LongJohnSilver-es6hj  We are talking about the European subcontinent and the Indian subcontinent. And also it took until the 12th century for much of the Eastern Mediterranean to become majority Muslim
    1
  2374.  @LongJohnSilver-es6hj  The Marathas only controlled half of India. Don’t forget the Muslim sultanates and nawabs that existed in Bengal, Mysore, the Carnatic, Sindh, Hyderabad, and Oudh during the 18th century.
    1
  2375.  @LongJohnSilver-es6hj  In South India the Delhi Sultanate under Malik Kafur managed to destroy the Pandya kingdom. The Deccan Sultanates destroyed the Vijayanagara Empire. The Mughals eventually conquered much of the Carnatic, and a Carnatic Sultanate existed for much of the 18th century. Not to mention Mysore under Tipu Sultan.
    1
  2376.  @LongJohnSilver-es6hj  The Portuguese and Dutch tended to ally with the Hindu states against their Islamic foes. For example, the Portuguese backed the Vijayanagara Empire against the Deccanis during the 16th century.

  2377.  @LongJohnSilver-es6hj  There was little military resistance to the spread of Islam in the Malay Archipelago, because it mostly spread through trade rather than invasion.

  2493.  @yaz2928  poland also lost one-third of its population during the deluge. over 90% of warsaw's population died during it, and swedes looted much of poland's economy and destroyed 300 towns, castles, and churches much of its infrastructure.

  2535. ​ @カスカディア国人  you say it's convenient for germany to not side with usa, but then you contradict yourself saying biden promised to consider europe's interest. then again scholz was seen as someone who would give russia another chance at rapprochement, before the war, he took a u turn after the war. nord stream 2 was still an issue between us and germany before the war. with the russian invasion there was finally near complete unity in nato. for years people were questioning nato's purpose. you have proven my point.
    1
  2536.  @カスカディア国人  let's take a look at some other relationships. japan and usa are allies because of china. mali and france were allies because of terrorism. india and russia were allies because of us-backed pakistan. vietnam and usa are friendly because of china. turkey and usa are allies because of russia. by contrast, supposedly genuine friendships like the one between poland and hungary died because of differences over their attitudes to russia. common interests trump historical ties. there's very few countries that are allies not because of convenience.
    1
  2537.  @カスカディア国人  japan and the usa are allies because the usa stripped all their power. ok, so then how is this better than russia and iran teaming up because of convenience? what are you trying to prove by saying that? also usa didn't want communism to spread in asia and japan could be used as a convenient shield.
    1
  2538.  @カスカディア国人  alliances are formed out of convenience. that does not mean they are destined to happen whenever the situation is favorable. this doesn't disprove anything because most alliances are still alliances of convenience even if some alliances have never existed.
    1
  2539.  @カスカディア国人  your rambling about iran doesn't disprove alliances aren't based off convenience. russia and iran are friends because of mutual hatred of the west. iran and usa were friends because of mutual fear of communism. you think this is a paradox that disproves convenient alliances, but in reality there are multiple situations that can arise from these us actions you mention, and convenience is different depending on ideological changes. certainly the usa and iran weren't allies because of historical ties.
    1
  2540.  @カスカディア国人  germany aside, all the european countries join nato because it benefits them. they do not all spend the requried amount, yet they are allowed in because it also benefits past members. if nato were really about the friendship between individual european countries, or a western civilization union, then every single country in europe would have joined by now. but that is not the case because sweden and finland only joined because of the threat from russia and also turkey is in nato.

The Mughals attempted to regain the city, but their efforts were proven unsuccessful.

  2588.  @jonjohns8145  i feel like saying europe is more diverse than the arab is ignoring the centuries of regional variation there.
    1
  2589.  @jonjohns8145  the arab world is so vast that anywhere can be a considered an "edge of empire." the maghreb, and the mashriq can both be considered the heartlands of respective cultures as much as europe is. by all metrics, the ottoman-safavid wars are the spanish succession/30 years/napoleonic wars of the middle east - for example, nader shah is known as the napoleon of the east. i'm also curious as to why you consider the 100 years war in the same category as those other wars you mention, since it was only a war between a few countries, only took place in france, and is as much a war as the moroccan-algerian wars of the early modern period. obviously the arab wars aren't talked because they are overshadowed by the ottoman safavid wars, whose participants were not arab. however, it's worth noting that iraq and khuzestan, then known as arabistan, were ruled by autonomous arab tribes, and the two regions fought each other often on behalf of the ottomans and safavids. as for actual wars between the arab great powers, see the fatimid-hamdanid-abbasid wars of the ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries.

  2609.  @FayFromGallifrey  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levada_Center The Levada Center is a Russian independent, nongovernmental polling and sociological research organization. It is named after its founder, the first Russian professor of sociology Yuri Levada (1930–2006). The Center traces back its history to 1987 when the All-Union Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM) was founded under the leadership of academician Tatyana Zaslavskaya. Being one of the largest Russian research companies,[citation needed] the Levada Center regularly conducts its own and commissioned polling and marketing research. In 2016, it was labelled a foreign agent under the 2012 Russian foreign agent law.[1]

  2671.  @codysaunders7348  you are once again forgetting the soviets; they liberated manchuria and korea from the japanese, and once they did that, the japanese position in central china was isolated and easily contained. no western forces were involved in these final battles. even if japan didn’t surrender after that, there would be no way for them to attack china again, especially with the soviets there. please, read a non-biased history book that won’t interfere with your political beliefs.

  2740.  Juan Frede  are you ok? britain is not even in the eu, meaning those countries you mentioned are gonna be on france's side.
    1
  2741.  Juan Frede  spain was not saved, it was being invaded by the royalists with british support.
    1
  2742.  Juan Frede  canada with only half of the population of britain won't be able to give the degree of support to britain the eu will give to france.
    1
  2743.  Juan Frede  spain wasn't a colony, it was its own nation under french king. spain was always under foreign leaders, even today the king is french, historically they were french or austrians. and no spain did not fight in ww1 or ww2, so go read some more history before presenting inaccurate information.
    1
  2744.  Juan Frede  theres a difference between colony and ally, joseph was king of spain, but the royalists tried to overthrow him. how tf would ottomans or japanese colonize spain? france didn't even want to colonize spain, they only wanted to influence it and take catalonia.
    1
  2745.  Juan Frede  explain
    1
  2746.  Juan Frede  bro france has stronger military than britain, and there's always a nuclear option, which france would still win with a pyrrhic victory.
    1
  2747.  Juan Frede  you are forgetting that the dutch and scandinavians also allied with france until france fell.
    1
  2748.  Juan Frede  today's germany's policy is not based on the germanic race, but more about continental politics. which means france is closer to germany. both merkel and macron have dissed the uk for leaving brexit.
    1
  2749.  Juan Frede  ok so lets compare the distance from canada to england to the distance of europe to england. even if britain has naval and air superiority (which they don't) logistics would completely negate that. just look at how long it took d-day to be planned.
    1
  2750.  Juan Frede  again, sweden, holland, spain, and poland are not the same countries they are in 1648. historical rivalries have long since been gone, and they are all part of eu.
    1
  2751.  Juan Frede  french and british air power are equally matched, british has slightly better planes and recon while france has the numbers, on the seas the french and british are equally matched as well, french have a massive aircraft carrier. so transport ships would be disrupted, further emphasizing the logistical problem.
    1
  2752.  Juan Frede  that doesn't mean anything. poland saved austria in 1683, did austria help poland later on? no, they annexed poland. also, poland and hungary weren't saved by the british in ww2, they were conquered by the soviets.
    1
  2753.  Juan Frede  one can't look at history alone. france, spain, and uk are not the same countries today as they are in the past.
    1
  2754.  Juan Frede  major wars uk has won since 1700 (excluding colonial conflicts) -war of spanish succession (debatable) -war of austrian succession (debatable) -seven years war -war of sixth coalition -war of seventh coalition -crimean war -world war one -world war two major wars france has won since 1700 (excluding colonial conflicts) -war of quadruple alliance -war of first coalition -war of second coalition -war of third coalition -war of fourth coalition -war of fifth coalition -crimean war -world war one
    1
  2755.  Juan Frede  all colonial wars fought against weaker nations.
    1
  2756.  Juan Frede  so has france, they are currently fighting four wars in africa.
    1
  2757.  Juan Frede  france captured sevastopool and committed three times as many forces as britain to the war.
    1
  2758.  Juan Frede  technically yes, since the french army would destroy any commonwealth invasion. but eu will be on france's side.
    1
  2759.  Juan Frede  experience isn't everything, plus there is always the nuclear option if things go wrong for france, which it won't.
    1
  2760.  Juan Frede  there is also -logistics -numbers -tech -morale -leadership -organization -geography
    1
  2761.  Juan Frede  if france starts losing (which they won't) they'll nuke uk and they can lose less than the uk in nuclear war warhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwxjN2w1sZo
    1
  2762.  Juan Frede  source? spain's army should be closer to france and germany than uk.
    1
  2763. ​ Juan Frede  no way british troops will take out two french for one brit, british experience and technology isn't that much higher.. and morale will be low considering all of europe would be against uk. english ppl don't see europeans as bitter enemies either, might sue for peace. especially with growing unrest in scotland and ireland.
    1
  2764.  Juan Frede  clearly your claims are false or biased. and even if that were the case, which isn't, the governments would have to support france anyways. germany has abandoned all historical rivalries with france, they now have very good relationship that is further binded after brexit. im starting to think you're just trolling.
    1
  2765.  Juan Frede  polish people always side with britain? no, they depend too much on the eu, especially france and germany. they can't afford to help britain. and they haven't always sided with britain, in ww2 they sided with france, not just britain, and remember that it was french that liberated poland during the napoleonic wars, not britain... poland even mentions the french in their anthem.
    1
  2766.  Juan Frede  spanish terrain would repel the brits, the commonwealth conquering spain would be a hard task even without french help. eu would help france, and nato would label uk as agressor. plus, france would also have international forces from polynesia to guiana to reunion.
    1
  2767.  Juan Frede  nepal is under too much indian and chinese influence, they won't help the brits just because they did in the world wars.
    1

    1
  2769.  Juan Frede  how would puny new zealand have any impact on the war?
    1
  2770.  Juan Frede  ghanaian public may side with britain but that does not mean they officially will, ghana is facing rebellion in west togoland and it isn't part of commonwealth.
    1
  2771. ​ Juan Frede  canada will be the only significant commonwealth help to uk, but france has all of eu on its side.
    1
  2772.  Juan Frede  i'm not an expert at british politics but polls say that the snp still have a plurality. and uk has no electoral college.
    1
  2773.  Juan Frede  bro you have to be trolling at this point, there is literally no historical, economical, or military reason for those countries to side with britain. and britain only won those 1v5s because russia or american had to step in and defeat the enemy for them, if the brits are gonna have higher morale because they want a challenge then they're all delusionsal, this is war, not a game.
    1
  2774.  Juan Frede  alliances aren't dictated by historical ties today those countries are closer to spain because of eu. poland saved austria but austria repaid them with partition, so how does your logic work? and going by your logic, what did britain do to those countries you mentioned? scandinavia was traditionally hostile to britain ever since the vikings, and britain was at war with denmark and sweden during napoleonic wars, and britain was upset that norway and sweden wouldnt let them help finland during ww2... holland may be similar to england, but they had their fair share of war too, look up anglo-dutch wars and the seizure of ceylon and cape colony. as for those eastern european countries britain let them into soviet influence and let them into decades of ruin when they agreed with stalin to let eastern europe to him.
    1
  2775.  Juan Frede  they may not have asked for peace, but they needed the russians or americans to do their work.
    1
  2776.  Juan Frede  you serious? spain was europe's most effective military power in 17th century, and france doesn't just have more battles won than england, but they have the most battles won out of all countries in the world.
    1
  2777.  Juan Frede  they were forced to side with the british because the germans were invading.
    1
  2778.  Juan Frede  denmark is historically more friendlier to france... they cooperated in ww2 and napoleonic wars. while england and denmark were enemies since viking times up till british invasion of copenhagen.
    1
  2779.  Juan Frede  what i mean is that by default, denmark was on britain’s side because they were both fighting against germany, but there was no formal alliance between them. and remember, denmark surrendered to the germans in only a few hours.
    1
  2780.  Juan Frede  spain never interacted with denmark, but did britain ever help denmark? denmark is friendlier with france, they both allied against britain during napolenic wars. honestly you should stop repeating your arguments each time i shoot them down.
    1
  2781.  Juan Frede  uk is dominated by england. whats the formal language of scotland and ireland? english.
    1
  2782.  Juan Frede  haha denmark surrendered in two hours while france surrendered in nine months.
    1
  2783.  Juan Frede  stop repeating the claims that the norwegians would support britain, they don’t they are closer to germany.
    1
  2784.  Juan Frede  also, where are you from? your name sounds spanish, are you perhaps a salty latin american?
    1
  2785.  Juan Frede  and that was the last time i heard from you...
    1
  2786.  Juan Frede  only a small percentage of british troops have had experience in the afghan mountains and other global operations; they are not as committed to those places as the usa... what harsh british hills are you talking about? and why would gurkhas fight for britain? this isn’t ww2, britain has no influence in india anymore and therefore has no influence over nepal either. there are very few gurkhas left in britain, they won’t make a difference.
    1
  2787.  Juan Frede  they aren’t colonies, guiana martinique and reunion are still part of france.
    1
  2788.  Juan Frede  if the eu is not a family, then why do you even think those countries will support britain just because of the past?
    1
  2789.  Juan Frede  i never said anything about public opinon in nepal. the people there might love britain with all their heart, but it doesn’t matter because nepal is india and china’s soccer ball... nepal is too inconsequential to care about european affairs.
    1
  2790.  Juan Frede  most of those operations are led entirely by the us; commonwealth countries there are simply junior partners so barely any troops will have experience.
    1
  2791.  Juan Frede  not commonwealth realm, ghana is not tied to britain the same way as canada or nz is
    1
  2792.  Juan Frede  “always?” seems like you forgot the troubles, the irish war of independence, and easter rising... the uk is more divided than you think...
    1
  2793.  Juan Frede  if they resent them, why do they join? most countries are better off in the eu than out (britain is debatable). small countries have as much political saying in eu affairs as a big country like germany
    1
  2794.  Juan Frede  you say “the fraction of the British forces out in the 13 colonies surrender to the French.. not US.” you basically shot down your own argument of french cowardice.
    1
  2795.  Juan Frede  bro in 1812 britain had three times as many people as usa, of course they had the upper hand... and they were not fighting all over the world; they had to pay russia and austria and prussia to do their dirty work against france.
    1
  2796.  Juan Frede  us empire? it existed, it just wasn’t called an empire. they colonized the ohio, louisiana, california, oregon, alaska, the carribean, hawaii, the philippines, and occupied most of western europe and japan. when has the us won a war alone? mexican war, spanish-american war, etc. let me ask you this: when has britain won a war alone?

  2797.  Juan Frede  britain, usa, and FRANCE fought against germany, and one reason why france wasn’t fighting in those middle eastern wars was because they were busy with their own wars in west africa.

    1
  2803.  Juan Frede  yes british and scandinavian militaries train together because they are part of nato, not because of some “ww2 friendship.” that friendship never even existed. britain let norway and denmark fall to the germans, while souring relations with sweden by demanding them stop trade with germany... iceland isn’t too happy with britain either since iceland was occupied by the brits in ww2 and the two countries fought three cod wars, which by the way, britain lost.

[6] [7] During this period, the engineers , scientists , and merchants of the Islamic world made significant contributions to the fields of art , agriculture , economics, industry, literature, navigation , philosophy, science and technology, astronomy , and medicine , by preserving and building on previous contributions and adding to their many inventions and innovations.[7] Muslim philosophers , poets, artists , scholars and princes createda unique culture that in turn influenced societies on all continents.

  2953.  @SaviourSword995  the chola empire was perhaps the most powerful indian empire ever because they had good trading deals with the fatimids and seljuks for cavalry. this trade continued into the vijayanagara and bahmani eras. but this came at a cost, because the cholas had to give up towns like koothanallur to seljuk colonization. cholas also had the most powerful navy the world had ever seen until the ming voyages.

  2954.  @hghg8991  safavids did not have a way worse economy, in fact, shah abbas was the height of safavid economic prosperity. safavids and ottomans had a comparable annual revenue of ~10 million ducats. the safavid state was always one of the better places for farmers to live. according to jean chardin, safavid farmers had higher living standards than europe.
    1
  2955.  @hghg8991  that was because the ottomans were overstretched in iran, the mountains didn’t help, plus they had many problems of their own, like bandit rebellions, inflation, corruption, plagues, and a war with austria and poland. Ottomans eventually recovered, but 17th century sucked for pretty much everyone except iran.

  2965. ​ @camblongkaras782  is it really necessaryy to use any ad hominems here? china's equipment is lackluster compared to the usa's, yes, but it's good enough. i see this situation as the ussr vs germany. germany had better industry, manpower, but they couldn't defeat the soviets because soviet equipment, like china, was good enough that german technological edge couldn't cover soviet numerical superiority and size. china is the ussr and germany is the usa in this scenario, except the chinese heartland where the usa has to strike is much more densely populated and americans would have to make an amphibious assault far deadlier than d-day to invade. i'd say like ww2, oil will determine the outcome of this war. if china can successfully transport oil using their belt and road initiative in conjunction with iran, the chinese can last multiple years. if not, they'd lose.
    1
  2966.  @camblongkaras782  36% of chinese families are one-child and 22% of american families are one-child. i don't know if that's a large enough difference for the little emperor syndrome to take effect and hinder chinese performance compared to american performance. also this effect could work in the ccp's favor; perhaps chinese families would want revenge on the americans for killing their beloved sons, and support the war even more fervently, but who knows?

  3038.  @mudra5114  i don’t know who you are referring to. but Susan Bayly, an anthropologist, noted that “caste is not and never has been a fixed fact of Indian life" and the caste system as we know it today, as a "ritualised scheme of social stratification," developed in two stages during the post-Mughal period, in 18th and early 19th century. three sets of value played an important role in this development: priestly hierarchy, kingship, and armed ascetics.”

  3040.  @mudra5114  why are you so quick to dismiss this as leftist? she did not even mention anything about british rule, perhaps she meant the mughals were also responsible for worsening caste system in india during the 18th century
    1
  3041.  @mudra5114  i don’t know who phule and periyar are, but they probably thanked the british for saving them from the very system accentuated by the british themselves. The british were in india for quite a long time, around one century and a half, so obviously their moral outlook on social evils like caste will be different in 1757 than the early 1900s. after all, back when britain first conquered bengal, they were still a major slave trading empire.

  3042.  @mudra5114  the indian national congress was created in the 1880s, more than a century after the british first arrived

  3043.  @mudra5114  phule and periyar were living in a very different time when the moral outlook on certain things actually mattered.
    1
  3044.  @mudra5114  stop calling everything that opposes your worldview “leftist.” it’s known that caste system in india was significantly worse when the british left than when they arrived. there may be external factors here, and the british probably were opposed to caste, but ruling all of india was easier if institutions like caste could be used.
    1
  3045.  @mudra5114  you make no sense. why would the upper castes care whether or not the british enhanced their positions? wouldn’t that mean the upper castes were pro-british? if anything, the upper castes likely would want people to believe caste was always as terrible as it was in india, to prevent the past from being used as a precedent for anti-caste activities.

  3046.  @mudra5114  From the page about the vijayanagara empire: The Hindu caste system was prevalent and it influenced daily life in the empire. The rulers who occupied the top of this hierarchy assumed the honorific Varnasramadharma (lit, "helpers of the four castes"). According to Talbot, caste was more importantly determined by occupation or the professional community people belonged to, although the family lineage (Gotra) and the broad distinction described in sacred Hindu texts (the four Varnas; namely the Brahmin or priestly, the Kshatriya or warrior, the Vaishya or merchant and the Shudra or artisan) were also factors. The structure also contained sub-castes (Jati) and caste clusters.[87] According to Vanina, caste as a social identity was not fixed and was constantly changed for reasons including polity, trade and commerce, and was usually determined by context. Identification of castes and sub-castes was made based on temple affiliations, lineage, family units, royal retinues, warrior clans, occupational groups, agricultural and trade groups, devotional networks, and even priestly cabals. It was also not impossible for a caste to lose its position and prestige and slip down the ladder while others rose up the same.[88] Epigraphy studies by Talbot suggests that members within a family could have different social status based on their occupation and the upward movement of a caste or sub-caste was not uncommon based on the breakthroughs achieved by an individual or a group of individuals from the community.[89]

  3060.  liam Millman  spanish priests tried to protect natives from enslavement, in north america the brits and dutch just committed straight genocide. there’s a reason why most latin americans have native blood unlike most anglo americans.
    1
  3061. ​ liam Millman  natives did not genocide each other to the extent british did. that is what matters. enough nonsense about how "natives aren't actually native," or "natives were peaceful." stop your strawmanning. people aren't as stupid as you think. it doesn't matter. what matters is that britain was more likely to commit genocide on the natives because their society was less religious than spain and france's - it's why many native tribes supported france during the seven years' war, and why the natives rebelled after the british won. good thing britain finally stopped their atrocities after the 1763 proclamation, however it's unfortunate that the americans inherited their genocidal tendicies.

  3105. Uzun Hasan's conquest of most of mainland Iran shifted the seat of power to the east, where the Aq Qoyunlu adopted Iranian customs for administration and culture. In the Iranian areas, Uzun Hasan preserved the previous bureaucratic structure along with its secretaries, who belonged to families that had in a number of instances served under different dynasties for several generations.[3] The four top civil posts of the Aq Qoyunlu were all occupied by Iranians, which under Uzun Hasan included; the vizier, who led the great council (divan); the mostawfi al-mamalek, high-ranking financial accountants; the mohrdar, who affixed the state seal; and the marakur "stable master", who supervised the royal court.[3] Culture flourished under the Aq Qoyunlu, who, although of coming from a Turkic background, sponsored Iranian culture. Uzun Hasan himself adopted it and ruled in the style of an Iranian king. Despite his Turkoman background, he was proud of being an Iranian.[44] At his new capital, Tabriz, he managed a refined Persian court. There he utilized the trappings of pre-Islamic Persian royalty and bureaucrats taken from several earlier Iranian regimes. Through the use of his increasing revenue, Uzun Hasan was able to buy the approval of the ulama (clergy) and the mainly Iranian urban elite, while also taking care of the impoverished rural inhabitants.[43] In letters from the Ottoman Sultans, when addressing the kings of Aq Qoyunlu, such titles as Arabic: ملك الملوك الأيرانية "King of Iranian Kings", Arabic: سلطان السلاطين الإيرانية "Sultan of Iranian Sultans", Persian: شاهنشاه ایران خدیو عجم Shāhanshāh-e Irān Khadiv-e Ajam "Shahanshah of Iran and Ruler of Persia", Jamshid shawkat va Fereydun rāyat va Dārā derāyat "Powerful like Jamshid, flag of Fereydun and wise like Darius" have been used.[45] Uzun Hassan also held the title Padishah-i Irān "Padishah of Iran", which was re-adopted by his distaff grandson Ismail I, founder of the Safavid Empire.[46]

  3316.  @chico9805  Far more Indians died under British rule. True, the Mughals were crueler, but the British were more neglectful. Every ten years a massive famine grappled British India, killing millions at a time. They cared for only profit, whilst the Mughals saw India as their new homeland and assimilated into the culture without exporting its riches to a faraway island.

  3352. you are using the terms “logistics, corruption, training deficiencies” which are always used in mainstream criticisms of any military, yet you have no proof, only prejudice and propaganda.
    1
  3353.  @alderwolf7687  you have your own prejudice, making assumptions without proof. how do i know you’re not bluffing, saying i would find that you are not wrong anyways if research is done just so you don’t have to go through the effort of actually backing your claims?
    1
  3354.  @alderwolf7687  military readiness is not based off overall conditions of a country. sometimes people live in poverty yet the military is doing just fine, like in most early modern societies and the ussr during the later stages of ww2. despite the internal situation of the usa, its military is still the best in the world…
    1
  3355.  @alderwolf7687  “the condition never lasts forever” you are mixing up correlation with causation, many militaries take a long time to collapse, so there’s no way of knowing its because of the internal situation
