Why did North Africans suddenly start sucking at warfare at the end of the 1700's? They went from being feared raiders and slavers that Europeans could never control to getting smacked around and colonized by their hated norther neighbors without putting up much of a fight.Even the upstart Americans gave them a slap, and the US didn't even exist a few decades prior to its assault on Algeria. What went wrong, and how did it all go wrong so quickly?

>>18535915Likely a lack of firearmsThe Battle of Omdurman took place on September 2, 1898, in Sudan, as a key battle of the Mahdi Rebellion. A combined British-Egyptian force (approximately 25,000 soldiers) under the command of General Horatio Kitchener crushed the Sudanese rebel army (approximately 50,000 dervishes). The British achieved a resounding victory thanks to their overwhelming technological superiority. The use of modern repeating rifles and Maxim machine guns turned the battle into a one-sided massacre. Losses on the British-Egyptian side: fewer than 50 killed and approximately 400 wounded. Losses on the rebel side: over 10,000 killed, 13,000 wounded, and 5,000 captured.

They had grown complacent and lazy due to the Turks supporting them for generations, and could not pick up the pieces themselves anymore once the Ottomans became the sick man of Europe.

Because a marauding band of opportunistic rapists enslaving civilians and running away before the military get there is very different from open conflict with enemy military forces.
>>18536489>The Arabs acquired knowledge of gunpowder between 1240 and 1280, by which time there were written Arabic recipes for gunpowder, instructions for the purification of saltpeter, and descriptions of gunpowder incendiaries.[6]Ahmad Y. al-Hassan claims that in the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260 against the Mongols, the Mamluks used "the first cannon in history" gunpowder formulae which were almost identical with the ideal composition for explosive gunpowder, which he claims were not known in China or Europe until much later.[7][8] However, Iqtidar Alam Khan states that it was invading Mongols who introduced gunpowder to the Islamic world[9] and cites Mamluk antagonism towards early riflemen in their infantry as an example of how gunpowder weapons were not always met with open acceptance in the Middle East.[10]You want them to say MENA fags wuz retarded and get their asses kicked like niggers with the Guns, Germs and Steel when the islamist had ALL of those before Euros?
