      When Nobunaga used massed firearms to defeat Takeda cavalry charges at the Battle of Nagashino, it is often characterized by modern historians as being "the end of an era", i.e. the new technology defeating the old ways.
      The problem is that the cavalry charge tactic in question was only like 2 years old at the time. Actual traditional Japanese cavalry used bows, whereas the new tactic was using spears.

    Fun fact: The reason that the Japanese folded the metal for their swords so many times was not because it made it stronger, but because their metal was very impure and low quality. The folding helped to compensate for that.
    The fact is that folding too many times can actually turn steel back into iron. And over time, it can also make the metal more brittle.
    It was done out of necessity, not because it was a better method.

    • @mcrib5794
      @mcrib5794 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Reinhard Von müsel still in general use the spear is a superior weapon. With the same amount of training chances of winning a fight against a spear with a sword is very slim. It is proven even well before medieval times when we learned to throw rocks. Those with better range will always tend to win.

    Thank you Drew for highlighting the Husseite general of the taborites. I don't feel that many people talk about the husseites that much so it was fun to see this one.
    Zizka was one of the foremost renowned generals of the husseite revolt in Bohemia. He fended off several Catholic crusades called by the pope (this was after the antipope pope 2 pope thing in Europe) he pioneered the wagon fortress tactics and created a revolution in the use of firearms and pikes with common people removing the dependence on. Due to his success (and his ego) he did in fact order his skin to be turned into a drumskin after he died. The most amazing part of this, was that he died of plague (although this could have been any amalgamation of a camp disease) and not in any of the battles that he fought in. Sorry for the longer comment I just like Czech history, especially pre reformation history, whenever it pops up.

      Ya scorched earth and Russian winter is bullshit argument, scorched earth did contribute but it was mostly Russian strategic military initiatives that won the war, further Russian winter only hit when Napoleon RETREATED from Moscow, further literaly everyone uses some form of scorched earth on their enemy to help win the war its stupied to leave supply centers for your enemies :
      To counter claims that the French defeat resulted from winter weather, Denis Davydov published a military historical analysis, titled "Was it Frost that Devastated the French Army in 1812?", wherein he demonstrated that the French suffered casualties in battles during relatively mild weather and outlined multiple causes for their defeat. He drew on both his direct observations and on those of foreign commentators, including French authors.[7]
      According to Chew in 1981, the main body of Napoleon's Grande Armée, initially at least 378,000 strong, "diminished by half during the first eight weeks of his invasion, before the major battle of the campaign. This decrease was partly due to garrisoning supply centres, but disease, desertions, and casualties sustained in various minor actions caused thousands of losses. At the Battle of Borodino on 7 September 1812-the only major engagement fought in Russia-Napoleon could muster no more than 135,000 troops and he lost at least 30,000 of them to gain a narrow and pyrrhic victory almost 600 miles inside hostile territory. The sequels were his uncontested and self-defeating occupation of Moscow and his humiliating retreat, which began on 19 October, before the first severe frosts later that month and the first snow on 5 November."[2] Lieven cites the difficulty of finding food for troops and forage for horses in winter as an important contributing factor.[6]

      Battles between each other do not determine rivalry, that is completely oversimplified.if one country has hegemony, the other is not going to attack, but is still a rival in multiple levels. During Pax Britannica, for over a century there was no way France was going to attack Britain, because it would have lost quickly and convincingly every time. However, the rivalry for cultural influence worldwide continued.
      The Brits have had more influence globally in modern history than any other nation, and France would be 2nd in this clearly, also

      I did not know about Frederic the Great doing so. It was done also by the first governor of Greece back in 1828-29, Ioannis Kapodistrias, who wanted to deal with the famine problem after the devastation of the land during the Independence War.of 1821-28. He imported a ship load of potatoes and these were meant to be distributed freely to farmers to be planted and start the potato cultivation in Greece. However people did not trust new stuff just like that, some political enemies were calling the new stuff "poison" telling people that "if they give it free to you, then you should wonder why". As such Kapodistrias anounced that initial orders were misunderstood and that the cargo of potatoes was actually very valuable and not to be distrubuted for free.... but told the guards to only "loosely guard those potatoes". In a few days the whole cargo was stolen and potato cultivation started in Greece! LOL!

    History pill: 4:57 Kingdom of Sardinia joined the war against the Russians to gain political prestige amongst the other national states in Europe, especially with France (during the Middle Ages House Savoia was close to the French influence). Kingdom of Sardinia's chief minister at the time was Camillo Benso Count of Cavour, top class old-style liberal, brilliant businessman and political mastermind: Sardinia's involvment in the war against Russia later led to the Plombières Agreement (1858), through which he managed to gain France's support against the Austrian Empire, which was the major threat to the so longed Italian Peninsula's riunification project. The agreement held and the French Empire joined forces with the Kingdom of Sardinia during the Second Italian War of Indipendence (1859) against the Austrian Empire.
