How can the rest of the world cope knowing Europe had the most brutal wars?

[Deleted member 8608]

Since Roman Wars, to Medieval Ones, World Wars, Civil Wars, etc. How can Europe call itself civilized when it literally is a bloodbath since the beginning of times, while some chinese fought japanese in the 17th century with swords and some guns in Europe columns of hundreds of men shot at each other without even going prone. How can Europe have such high moral ground if it's literally the less moral of any continent

@Thomas DOM you are not so Macho to fight for the Austro-Hungarians on the 18th century eh?

Europeans learned to adapt due to competition whereas China just burned all its manpower in constant revolts learning nothing in the process until the Japanese modernised and then just stomped them.

historically northern chinese armies were actually quite powerful during dynastic heydays

don't forget that China is basically the only region of the world to maintain its independence through the age of colonialism

All the wars (except WW1 and WW2) did improve Europe's IQ. Also Europe was really never that violent until after the fall of Rome most of the conflict occurred on the outskirts of the empire it also had more diverse groups in it so unlike China it couldn't just re-merge into one country easily Rome was multi ethnic run by an elite class of citizens once it fell apart there was massive hole

it's impossible to cope without roman empire. big empires bring prosperity and peace. division brings war and economic squilibrium

The deadliest wars were in China not Europe

We have always known war. War forged our kingdoms and cultures. War turned the courageous into queens and kings, and decimated our enemies. Now our acheivements, stories, way of life is lost...forgotten...and we must face the monsters our sins and ignorance have birthed. War in moderation will always be better than peace. It will forge men out of boys, heroes out of men, and kings out of heroes. War will also cleanse the weak from the strong as the bodies of the ones who weren't powerful enough turns to dust on the battlefield. This is often referred to a bottleneck event. Wars, plagues, genocides etc. are when the weak die off and the strong still stand. The reason europeans are innovative, attractive, powerful is because the ones who weren't died off. The reason indians are less attractive is becasue the ugly and weak ones never died off generations ago so their genes are still around. War made us europeans the most powerful, adventurous, engineered, fearless, beautiful continent on this planet.

The Japanese never stomped China, pretty big myth. China was fighting a civil war and Japan never made it past the costal areas where they had to use puppet leaders to maintain their limited control.

WWII Japan is highly overrated. The Soviets kicked them out of mainland Asia in like 3 weeks

Crushed in the first Sino-Japanese war resulting in Japanese victory, second Sino-Japanese war China took millions of casualties yeah no shit the Soviets rolled over Manchuria they were done with the Germans and Japan was badly overstretched defending pacific and holding gains in China.

who cares when the British could just show up and get them hooked on the pipe, if the western powers wanted to they could have just deposed the Qing but it was more convenient to leave them, managing India was enough.

Wars superspeed technological development, hence civilizational advancement, that’s why Europe is the most developed place on earth
