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?

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

Rome's early strategy is kind of like prison you know? You pick a fight with the biggest guy on the Mediterranean then no one wants to mess with you.

idk much about early republic

I mean in terms of them reking carthage over the punic wars
