reeee
But utilising it is something that gave them an edge over the empire and secured their rights

Which Europeans didn't think of

of what? building a hole in the ground?

I mean... America was the first to hide behind stuff

building holes in the gound isnt hard <:angery:486195953410244608>

Youre overestimating 17th century warfare

nah

Networks of connected trenches

Made in ways to confuse the enemy

digging holes, while ground breaking, isnt difficult

<:why:492975944445853696>

because puns are great

though, that one was a bit dirty

Respect native people

:3

Imagine being into history and dismissing all history from brown people

what history would you be dismissig :3

nothing important i can think of

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS Trenches were incredibly common through out European military history. The earliest example I can recall them being used as battle tactic is in the Hundred Years' War where English forces routinely dug pits footholes & trenches in efforts to stop French cavalry charges. Aside from this, it was routine for siege warfare in which one side would carve trenches up to the forifications of a castle and then mine tunnels underneath of the walls to collapse them.

Since every knight was expected to understand siege warfare, it's reasonable to extrapolate that almost said knights knew what a trench was and how it could be used in battle. An example of "trench warfare" in European history would be the Siege of Vienna ca. 1529; in which Austrian Habsburg infantry would sally out in suicide attempts to prevent Turkish engineers from detonating charges beneath city walls.

Then we have nothing

Also, Japanese forces in the Senogku Jidai would commonly erect bamboo fences and dig pits with which to shield musketmen. Innovations in gunpowder & pike style warfare were pretty much what enables Oda Nobunaga to perform as well he did—this took place at the exact same time as the Habsburg-Ottoman Wars. Really, it's fair to say that since we have examples of European Middle Eastern Asian & Aborignees using trenches it's fair to conclude everyone did in fact comprehend digging holes.

Thanks for the history lesson with the massive bulidup to making me feel like an idiot

👌

pepe's puns are the best thing ive read all day

Although to be fair

Peeper needs to respecc native peoples history more

@TheRockisCookin You meant to say 18th Century Warfare. Besides, it was early as the times of Khan Uriyangqadai that the Dai Viet would utilize stealth-tactics to defeat a much larger foe. Though they didn't always maintain independence, their fighting spirit continued on in spite of repeated invasion at the hands of the Chinese Empire in many of its' successive nominally dynastic forms. C'mon mate, you're an American, you should respect people who bled to death in the jungles of Vietnam. For shame.

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS he was probably joking nat

like pretending to be one of those stuck-up, america-saves-the-world white nutcases

America saves the world unless that world lay upon the continent named South America.

Throw in the towel globies

Hot off the press

Amazing stuff

I think it was five minutes into my last Flat Earth video where the premise that the world governments were by force suppressing the truth was introduced.

The bloody Neo-Globers are engaging in mass politics black bloc tactics—and we can't even have a conversation about it!

@I-VaPE-ChEMtrAiLS :^)

@^Kevin^ Oh of course it doesn't agree with you so it's automatically denied as fake.
