Ok I'll start. The intervention of the US in 1917 in the great war hugely tipped the scales in the entente's favor. Leading to greater negotiating power at the Paris peace accords and the eventual brutal territory seizing and monetary stipulations on the central powers at the treaty of Versailles.
TLDR - It's our fault
ooh new channel
Yeah just saw it too
Soo essentially we caused WWII
IMPORTANT
Butterfly effect
The real question is , why did the (((international press))) want us in the war so bad?
They correctly assessed our warmaking ability?
why wouldn't it
war is money
among other things
I'm a proponent of the "muh lusitania" argument being insufficient
It's almost like after the central banks were established the US has been used as an attack dog in a series of proxy wars
Like aside from the Mexican telegram and the lusitania, what reason did we have to intervene?
this but the goats are nibbas
videos like these are great for perspective
Yeah I love those time lapse map vids
You know Alexander had to do it to 'em.
Alexander was fantastic
Muh horse lanes
Though I would say that Ptolemy was ironically a better general and administrator.
I admittedly don't know as much as I should about Ptolemy
Pretty badass guy, my rational for him being better than alexander is thus. Alexander used his Macedonian army to beat all the occidental armies, then Ptolemy beat *that* army with Egyptian levy troops and some Macedonian Calvary.
the companions :)
He might not have been as much as a luminary but he held his territory for a lot longer and his dynasty lasted all the way to that thot Cleopatra.
right
Why is history so vast. so hard to learn it all
I guess you could apply that same thinking to a lot of figures. That the guy that beats the guy that was famous for beating other guys is dank.
Could spend a year on caesar in Gaul alone
For sure.
Caesar in Gaul is one of the earliest anti-insurgent manuals really.
F vercingetorix
Tfw the romans are balls deep in your territory and you call the other chieftains for help who could completely surround him with superior number but they say "nah"
Hell, I'd be scared to get on Rome's bad side too
