<:angery:486195953410244608>
it's all a big government lie
so 200 years of history
to kid the millennials into believing their land actually has a past beyond the white man
^
ugh they just want to erase the white man
if sabaton didnt write a song about a group or time period, it didnt happen
oof
except america
Okay I mean MaΕri people did invent modern trench warfare
reeee
building a ditch isnt some advanced technology
ME OOGA BOOGA MAKE SHOVEL
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?
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

@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 didβthis 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.
