    Lord Tex towards his civilians: "I will be a good lord with low taxes who treats his people well."
    Lord Tex during a war: "Let's just banzai charge them with crap until they die under the weight of my crappy troops. They cost too much money to keep alive anyway."

    I could be wrong, but I think Japan's equivalent to "pajamas" and underwear, at the time, was the Yukata...more or less, a cotton kimono-style bathrobe. Versus a proper kimono, it's cheap, mass-produced, and is often the under-layer of traditional dress

    • @lenorevanalstine1219
      @lenorevanalstine1219 2 роки тому +12

      the yukata is a simplified lighter kimono used in less formal situations and during the summer when the heavier kimono would make the wearer overheat there's a specific yet again different kimono like garment they use as undergarments for women its a bit over complicated

    iirc the "stagnation" of the early 19th Century in firearms was largely due to the transition from flintlocks to percussion caps, after the disparity in the performance between the two, especially in damp conditions, were made painfully clear during the Crimean War. The need to update arsenals to this new and far more reliable technology took priority over everything else.

    "Comfy" depends upon lots of variables ... like the temperature, humidity, furniture, what you are doing at home ... and it also involves your taste in clothes. Oh and it also involves UTILITY and FIT ... because women have worn corsets for hundreds of years and they helped them doing the daily chores ... because they have the same BACK-MUSCLE-STRENGTHENING FUNCTION as one of those broad leather belts which weightlifters and strongmen use. No corset = back ache after heavy lifting ... and this does affect your comfort level AND - so I am told - corsets arent uncomfortable IF THEY ARE ADJUSTED TO FIT YOU!

      Depends. Matchlock muskets were 2-3m long, and weighed in at around 20kg, and couldnt be fired without a rest. 19th century musket carbines however are a different story.
      And so ia the tanegashima teppo, which is more of an overgrown pistol than a musket. It had no stock, a small bore, and consequently lower charge and effective range than its european counterparts. What it gained however was ease of use and production. During the warring states period by most aources japan for a brief period had more firearms than all of europe combined.

    I will disagree with the utility of gatling guns during the battle of Little Bighorn. They used the gatling gun as an Artillery piece, and the doctorine that made the fixed heavy machine gun a potent weapon of war was not developed until the early 20th century. The gatlings would have been outflanked in the open steppes of Montana. The French Mitrailleuese, the technological equivalent of the Gatling at the time, was only successfully used as a defensive piece in the Battle of Gravelotte, though the German Krupp guns meant it was all for not.. Love your content Tex, and would love to hear your rebuttal. Remember: Krupp is the German word for YEET.

      A better example would probably be the numerous times when he straight up abandoned his post to go on vacation with his wife *while the campaign was ongoing*. On one occasion, he straight up abandoned a patrol in the middle of indian territory while actively campaigning against the tribe in question. That patrol was slaughtered to the last man, and he was court martialed for it.
      Interestingly though, even though he was an absolutely insufferable asshole, much of the time, what saved him wasn't his battlefield prowess, he was average at best. What saved him was the he was literally too pretty. After Little Bighorn, the women of the indian tribes came out do defend his body from warriors who wanted to scalp him. He was that pretty.

      The battle at little bighorn had worst problems than misuse of machineguns. The investigation of the disposition of bodies clearly shows no firing line was formed, suggesting leadership problems and men fighting as individuals instead of units. The reverse is seem for example at the battle of isandlwana, the british bodies were found together in groups with an handful of individuals suggesting they followed doctrine and stood back to back in an cluster when they got surrounded.
