Why doesn't Europe have its own Sengoku period or the Three Kingdoms period...

Why doesn't Europe have its own Sengoku period or the Three Kingdoms period? Only thing that comes close is the Napoleonic era and even that's just the rest of Europe ganging up on Napoleon. Lame as fuck.

30 years war, fag

it's still in it

>a bunch of countries messing around in Germany
>vs
>a bunch of factions fighting for supremacy of the country, losing means you are fucking wiped out
Not the same thing at all, faggot.

Mori coat of arms is the best because it's an upside down face.

They should've won.

It's almost as Europe wasn't a single country!

It's almost as if China wasn't a single country before factions lost existential wars.

Medieval/Renaissance Italy had city states/warlords constantly fighting for power.

The entire history of the Holy Roman Empire is a political parallel, over 300 principalities and duchies fighting internal wars with a mostly figurehead Emperor exercising foreign authority until one state (Prussia) unites it all.

I'd like to think the Italian city states run along that parallel as well, but there really was no unitary leader like the Holy Roman Emperor or Shogun, unless you count the Pope.

Crisis of the Third Century.

Hundred Years War.

Thirty Years War.

War of the Roses.

The entire history of Italy between the fall of Rome and the unification.

This. Are you familiar much with European history?

Literally none of these wars were anything close to the Sengoku Period or the Three Kingdoms in terms of scale or the stakes.

list 3 (three) heroes and three (3) villains comparable to Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Cao Cao, Sima Yi and Lu Bu

The Shimazu did nothing wrong. Mitsunari is #notmyshogun

ABSOLUTLY KINO

Charles the Bold, Henry V, Gustavus Adolphus

Oliver Cromwell, Martin Luther, Richard III

European didn't have libertarian ideals like Japan did where you could own your own private armies without the central government's consent.

>Yeah g-guys Martin Luther was a villain who probably killed innocents and started relentless wars among brothers himself

Sure his followers may have fought with the Catholic Church, but conflict was not his intent.

Also, user, please don't make this a religious thread.

In Europe Cao Cao wins....

Louis XIV
Count of Tilly
Gustavus Adolphus
Cardinal Richelieu
William of Nassau

to name a few...

I'm not making a political/religious statement, obviously hero/villain status is going to be interchangeable depending on perspective. I grouped them fairly arbitrarily based on my perception of how they might be portrayed in the media.

you have your answer right here

China had a long history of nationhood dating back to before the Han dynasty, Europe didn't.

europe was pretty much a whole bunch of counties ganging up on one country and making it apologize afterwards and repeat. thats why euros are fucking shameful for everything

>Comparing a continent to a country.

Can you please fuck off? By what metric are you measuring "scale" or "stakes?" On what planet do you have to be in where you view a bunch of petty Daimyo and their rivalries on some mountainous inhospitable island archipelago in the middle of nowhere as more significant than something like the Hundred Years War? There is nothing tactically or historically impressive about the Sengoku period besides perhaps the quick adoption of gun powder within Japanese society as well as the laying of a cultural foundation for war, but no battle, not even Sekigahara can lay a finger on battles like Agincourt in terms of their strategic consequences and lessons to be learned. Probably the most significant battle strategically was Nagashino and the failure of Takeda cavalry to beat Oda guns.

>A bunch of petty fucking nobody-tier nobles fighting over barren islands, inhospitable mountain ranges, and a few precious coastal plains in an isolated, middle-of-nowhere shithole looked down upon by all of its neighbors, a backwater of a country with such a lack of culture or heritage, that the historical record didn't even begin until the 500's at least, and the written language, religion, customs, clothings, government systems, and even architecture were shamelessly stolen from a more advanced neighbor.
>vs
>A legendarily bloody and brutal fight for the religious future of one of the most important nations in Europe, having consequences for the political, cultural, and spiritual balance of not only the continent it was fought on, but many of the colonial holdings of related nations as well. A war so devastating, tragic, and traumatic the likes of which would never be seen until WW1

Yeah, definitely not the same fucking thing.

wtf are you talking about? Japan is a fucking smaller country than most of these mentioned? What are you asking for? Wars within one European country or throughout the continent? If the latter need I remind you that Japan nevER had nondomestic wars until after Japan's unification. Europe is a total continent. The fact that Europens could never unite into one countr like China or the U.S says a lot too. Keep in mind Europe is about the same size if not a bit smaller.

The fact that Europe is a continent the size of china, yet isn't one united country already shows how retraded OP and this thread is.

You are right, those were only shitty civil wars bertween a country and a dump in the ocean, whatever happened in Japan barely matered outside it, and when they chimped out they were btfo so hard than they didn't step outside they island until the end of the 19th century.

Europe's entire Medieval history was basically a Sengoku period.

>losing means you are fucking wiped out
Only the Hojo were wiped out, everyone else just got redistributed holdings if they lost

>god tier

Fuck off Shingen. Nobody likes you mountain monkeys

China has never really been the size of Europe. Even currently, when China holds a lot of land not considered "core china" it's still smaller.

>Hojo in god tier
fucking kill yourself.

Takeda have bonus charge on cav, and Hojo can build cheaper castles

I don't get OP, Europe had this shit all the time. In Britain you can have the conflict between Lizzy the Virgin queen and Mary queen of scots. If either lost they died, and one did.

In France you have the war of the 3 Henrys

I know Denmark had a similar thing but I don't know what it was called.

Russia had the troubles.

The HRE is similar.

The war of the roses.

Also Japan was separated from other countries in a similar way Britain was, the only real difference between them was that Britain went out and colonised, they also constantly popped up in European wars, whereas Japan did fuck all but had that little fight between themselves

The people at the time would strongly disagree with you.

Like many guys said previously, Europe as a whole didn't have one, but different regions that more or less correspond with their current day countries, like Italy

According to Google, europe is 10.1M km and China is 9.3M km, so they are comperable.

This works if you think of the German and Italian states of the HRE together, with the Pope as the equivalent to the Japanese Emperor and the HRE's emperor as the Shogun.

And Protestantism as the Ikko Ikki.

oh great another fucking weeb who thinks everything japan has done is unique ...

To be fair, that's only because Europe happened to become globally ascendant. No one would care about Agincourt if the Brits and French didn't conquer half the world between them later. Had Japan and China taken over the world instead, I'm sure we'd be going on about Sekigahara and its importance in military history.

Don't tell me you think Chinese history starts at Warring States.

This. Europe has never left its divided period since ever
