Thank you!

But did the promotors invite them, anyway?

Honestly, people have been doing that for a very long time. Male homosexual activity is documented in the early BC’s across the world. There are entire sections dedicated to anal penetration in the Kama Sutra for heterosexual anal penetration.

Given it’s not much of a leap for a horny brain to go “What if I stick it in here” I think it’s safe to say that humans have been going for that bootyhole since we were early hominids running from Pleistocene megafauna.

Isn't sodomy literally in the bible?

Super bedankt Albert. Ben erg blij met je antwoord, dit betekent veel voor me.

Have people always been doing it in the butt and just not talking about it or did we really not know it worked that way too?

Yeah I wasn't really sure what I was going for on this question

I know fencing wasn't exactly popular in the colonial states at the time nor was it Melee method or techniques for the continental army's swordplay i know it has its roots but It evolved much more than that

What I was going for or at least what I had in mind was maybe as you suggested notable examples of calvary officers who might of been noted to be very skilled with a sword or officers who from what I've who've had mastery in the saber or often in other times have had fencing skills prior to the war who were notable swordsmen during the revolution maybe examples like that would help

And I know I've said fencing it just it's the only base I could go off the I really don't know the name for American sword play at the time

Lastly since you've gave me this much info were there any cases of officers training there regiments or infantry in proper sword techniques or swordplay and if so we're there any notable examples of people gain the skills and then going on to become master in the art or using their skills for later engagements or wars

Stop touring or performing in front of any audience after 1966.

Where would works of Renaissance masters like Titian or Caravaggio (I know you could also call Caravaggio Baroque, but that's not relevant here) have been publicly displayed in the 1850s?

Its not irrelevant. Three million soldiers on a whole new front definitely did impact the war albeit lightly considering the fact that the CP were doomed at the onset. By 1916 any sign of CP victory was absent

This is just shouldering the responsibility of victory onto the Italians. Tying up forces on the alps just hastened a CP defeat. It was not instrumental in any way shape or form

In what way did the sound of a chiming cuckoo clock become associated with insanity?

These arguments are so disingenuous. Its akin to saying if Hitler never moved against the Soviet Union, he would have won World War Two because he had more men. The truth is, Austri Hungary never had the capacity to win any long term war against the entante because they lacked resources and capable commanders. Their empire was at the breaking point and all of Germany’s economic gains since the Prussian unification in 1871 had been totally lost by 1916. Another front just hastened an inevitable defeat

It does not predate Norse/Scandinavian settlement other than in Lappland.

Wait, are you talking about a sword?

Short answer: the soviets didn’t see Poland as an independent country.

As far as they were concerned, it was a part of Russia that had been occupied by the Germans. Also, controlling Poland would mean that they would be able to intervene in Germany, at the time going through communist uprisings.

Poland also acted aggressively towards the Soviets in order to secure its borders. Making war inevitable.

Cardinal Richelieu or Axel Oxenstierna? I would look for people who were able to see moves in advance and design a plan. Along this theme would be some of the Native American leaders who were able to keep their people afloat despite the advantages colonizers had, when one thinks about how few Iroquois there were, yet how long they resisted colonial powers, that has to be some higher level strategy. Certain African leaders would also be nominees as well.

Why did Poland and Soviet Russia go to war in 1918/1919 - 1921?

It’s an impossible question to answer. There are some truly fantastic generals that we know about, and all had some chance at defeating any of the others under the right conditions. Flat out, Napoleon had the most recorded victories of any known General, and in his prime he was certainly a contender for top spot, but he never had to fight the Golden Horde, possibly the only pre-modern army faster than him. He had Marshalls under him that would also qualify as top of the line generals in their own right. Archduke Charles, one of the only men to defeat Napoleon while Napoleon was at in his prime, would also have to be on the list. Then there is the great Korean general Eulji Mundeok, a man capable of directing hundreds of thousands of men while fighting terrible odds and coming out on top, or Emperor Tokugawa, who had one of the most elite medieval armies in the word, or any one of a dozen ancient and classical era Chinese generals…

Thanks :)

Started as an outgrowth of coursing in England, and emerged in its recognizable modern form, featuring circular or oval tracks, with the invention of the mechanical, or artificial, hare in 1912 by an American, Owen Patrick Smith. O.P. Smith had altruistic aims for the industry to stop the killing of the jack rabbits. In the 1920s it was popular with the middle class in the US and the US, but quickly became a working class phenomenon in the 1930s.

Emperor Justinian I of the Roman (Byzantine) Empire. The man has it all, skill, shrewdness, patience, and the ability to think strategically on multiple levels. With apologies to Trajan, Justinian might just have been the real "Last Roman." Hi dynasty was one of the last to be named in Latin. His dynasty was also the last one to rule Rome itself.

Justinian spent his entire career getting amazing things done with never quite enough resources to do them properly. He weathered the plague and invasions from literally all sides, locked horns with a Persian empire at the height of its own strength, and still managed to reclaim several lost Roman provinces including Hispania, Italia and Africa. He goes down in history as one of the greatest individual monarchs the world has ever known.

I think Timur would certainly be in the discussion, he was supposedly a very avid chess player and the Tamerlane chess variant is attributed to him.
