fuck, you ahead me

God I really wish he had won. Why did he have to chimp out over the Russians breaking the trade embargo? Why did he have to put his stupid ass relatives in charge of anything?

i cry every fucking time

Nobody can defeat russians except themselves or mongols

>ywn slay Danes with Aelfred

>"Forth! and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise! Riders of God! Spear shall be shaken! Shield shall be splintered! a sword day! a red day! ere the sun rises! Ride now! Ride now! Ride! Ride to ruin, and the world’s ending! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!"

>early feudalism
How did he end up bringing about early fuedalism?

Had me for a second there.

Ave, true to Caesar

He built on the reforms put in place by Diocletian which saw a transition towards landed nobility presiding over lands worked by the lower class. Constantine had these people of the lower classes tied to the lands they worked, with their descendants also tied to the same lands.

And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Because he had to try and damage Britain somehow. Any breach of the Continental System would completely undermine these aims, which is why he had to invade Portugal as well as le Russia

...

No Wilhelm II and Hitler killed Prussia. BMarck's actions meant that Prussia had the most power in the unified state of 1871.

The vast majority of Europe was still abiding by the continental system. I understand you've got to curb this kind of behavior as soon as it starts but really for such a disastrous series of events Russia breaking a fucking trade embargo being the causative event seems a bit ridiculous.

Napoleon did defeat the Russians plenty of times
It's not the Russians that are hard to defeat but Russia itself (hence why you can easily beat them as long as you don't invade)

Well the official reasoning was that the Treaty of Schonbrunn in 1809 had pressured the Russians into formulating plans for an assault on the Grand Duchy of Warsaw and so the assault was a pre-emptive strike.

You gotta remember that Alexander had essentially completely abandoned the Continental System in 1810, a direct contradiction of Napoleon's flagship policy to combat Britain. Of course it wasn't the sole trigger, but I think it probably was the amongst the most significant factors, along with the contest between Russia and France in eastern Europe.

Thats like the antithesis of Aurelius.
Everything is as the whole and as the ant goes to build the nest the emperor must real his fellow man. To do this without compassion is a sin against nature. Not egalitarian at all, but also not a retarded Hegelian power-for-power fuckboy.
But I agree, I would march to the end of the world for him.

I go to a university named after this guy and even the liberals think he was a cool guy
He was truly a great man

I can relate to this guy because I have a disability as well. just goes to show you that just because one is disabled doesn't mean that he's useless and can't do nothing. Even a king can be disabled and still be a successful figure.

I imagine myself in Gergovia, naked, leading my tribe. Our mission is to stop m*ds dogs from advancing. We mow down m*ds dogs but they keep coming. I draw my sword and begin slaughtering m*ds, since m*ds are way more psychically inferior to me, I slay them by dozens. Then I get shot by a ballista, but I didn't fall, I kept fighting. Then shot again and again. m*ds were shooting me from a distance like a cowards they are. I lie down, facing up to sky and I see ASTERIX (Toutatis) smiles at me, I smile back... Then I woke up, in GAUL, my homeland. My CELT brethren gave me a warm welcome to heaven. I finally made it, I finally made it into heaven..

I'm as much of a Plantagnetboo as any man but I would not follow him on his disaster campaigns in France. Agincourt really was a miracle, I can think of better things to do than shit myself to death in a field in Flanders.
