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 Maōri 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?

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

@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
