In current times is it impossible to win a war if the people of invaded country are determined not to lose? Cloutswits said that, the side most willing to give up everything will win. |

If the Iraq War was because of their oil, has the US achieved their war aims China and Russia both vetoed action in Syria because they didn't want America to think that they could over-through any government they felt like. +1. |

Were there any attempts to assassinate Joseph Stalin? I cant edit it, so could someone change the "are" to "were" in the title and first line? |

What happens after a widespread social chaos? You speak of political freedom as if its holy and of utmost importance, and yet, many states might be benefited by a benevolent dictator. There is a difference between Democracy and Constitutional Liberalism, the first, used to select a leader, and the next, the idea of protecting rights. In Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of China, people don't vote for their Chief Executive, (there are a group of 1000 people from various industries who vote) but yet, it is very good at protecting peoples rights. |

What kind of heavy horses did the Manchu use? Oh ya, and at times, infantry weapons were longer, and at times they were shorter, till finally, everyone used guns. Hypothesis, Antithesis, Synthesis. |

What kind of heavy horses did the Manchu use? In the west, knights "couched" their lances meaning that they just aimed their lace at the infantry and braced it. Cavalry's power didn't come from the lance, but their ability to smash through the enemy ranks, create a hole, let the infantry exploit it, and run down the routers. In Agincourt, the English won because the French cavalry couldn't get enough momentum from their cavalry to smash enemy lines. Cavalry isn't there to be in a prolonged fight, but instead used as shock troops, meaning that all that mattered was the horse hitting and braking a hole in the enemy ranks. |

Was there ever any organization of thieves or pickpockets? Most thieves tended to be poor people who didn't have enough to eat. Most were caught and killed. Could you set a time period and place? In the times of Alfred the Great and in England, thieves were usually caught and hung. Most societies tended to look down upon thieves for obvious reasons and so, tended not to have god dedicated to helping thieves. If I were you, I'd take creative liberties. Hope that helped. |
