not as much as europe
African countries have been warring forever
especially since china was united for a long time
Anyone listen to grant macdonald
trust me, europe has had a lot more wars with each other
than china has had with its nation states
thats why china was more develpoed than europe 2000-3000 years ago
because they fought more
Qing China #1
Monarchy china lasted
a looooong time
Qing China was #1
because that time was the bloodiest time for china
AMMONITE GANG
Qing > All
Qing was very developed because they fought a shit ton
Mandate of heaven anyone
we kinda ended up fucking up qing with all that opium though
imo @IUisbae's position can be sumarized as this: war could be an important condition for technical development, but is not a sufficient condition
yes that is my position
IQ could matter
but war is an important catalyst
for innovation
especially back then
there is very little need for innovation unless there is war
Look at where we went technologically between the first world war and today
Why does America invent so much stuff
culture of inventing i guess
and that too
american didn't invent that much though, The germans invented most of the stuff. and the USA ran with it
because there's economic motivation and our two favorite pastimes include baseball and fucking people up
germans are the smartest europeans
the US developed those inventions
honestly
hands down
just like the greeks and the romans
regardless of their ethicality, there intelligence is very high
their
the greeks laid the groundwork and the romans perfected it
