How did they fuck up so badly?
They probably couldn't run as fast over such long distances or something.
Bantu africans are the real superior race. Time and DNA will prove this.
>>18585614What's the context of the battle? A lot of this sort of thing was basically just shooting hordes of unarmed peasants that got marked as soldiers or just blowing the fuck out of a city from a fleet offshore and calling it a battle.
>>18585614Zulus could tell they were outmatched tech wise and adapted accordingly. The Chinese thought they were the center of the universe and that the Europeans were nothing more than pirates. So they pulled up against the Europeans in a more traditional battle to only get obliterated. After reading the arrogant responses of the Chinese to Western emissaries, it came to no surprise they got fucked.

Hooked on opium.
>>18585614>On September 21, 1860, the Battle of Baliqiao (Palikao) was fought near Beijing as a decisive engagement of the Second Opium War. A Franco-British force of roughly 10,000 troops confronted a Qing army of 50,000 troops commanded by Prince Sengge Rinchen. The Qing relied heavily on cavalry charges by launching repeated assaults against the allied lines, but they were cut down by disciplined volleys of rifle fire and artillery shells as well as bayonet countercharges. Modern weaponry were wielded by the Allied troops with devastating efficiency. The Chinese suffered thousands of casualties while the Allies lost only a handful of men. The crushing defeat shattered Qing resistance. Beijing was left defenseless, so the Xianfeng Emperor was forced to flee to Rehe (Chengde). Within days, the Anglo-French forces marched into the capital and subsequently ordered the destruction of the Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan).Tech
>>18587067Wikipedia says:>Two days later, on 20 September the cavalry discovered the Chinese army in a strong position in front of a canal connecting Beijing with the Hai River, with two bridges at Baliqiao. The allied army attacked frontally and the cavalry attacked from the left forcing the Chinese back over the two bridges. The Anglo-French force inflicted massive losses on the Qing army trapped by the canal. Beijing was invaded thereafter.>On the Qing side, Sengge Rinchen's troops, including elite Mongolian cavalry, were completely annihilated after several doomed frontal charges against concentrated firepower from the allied forces.So not unarmed peasants, just very outdated cavalrymen. I guess it answers the question how well Genghis Khan would have done in World War II, lol.
>>18587839>frontal charges against concentrated firepowerya see there's yer problem. cut off their supply lines, have them expend resources. invite them to dinner
>>18587812They using percussion actions and accurate bullet.
>>18585614China was in the middle of the taiping rebellion at this time. They didn't have experienced loyal armies to defend the capital, half the country was occupied by Hong Xiuquan.
>>18588215>Hong XiuquanHe seem retarded than Nicholas I and the Jefferson Davis
>>18588224He's seen as a national hero in China who fought against manchu rule, both by official state propaganda and even more so by Chinese nationalists.In fact the century of humiliation is largely state propaganda and most Chinese consider the overthrow of manchu Qing rule to be a great victory for the Han race. None of them are sad that a manchu emperor got BTFO by a British expeditionary force.
>>18588236But he wasn't han nationalists
>>18588239Sure and Robert E Lee didn't support slavery
>>18588423Nicholas I's successor abolished serfdom meanwhile China hasn't end it slave system till 1908-1910.
>>18585614qing dynasty was still using bows-and-arrows and spears while europeans had percussion muskets. yes, they did have matchlock rifles, but they were obsolete.
>>18588467You mean the manchu government didn't end slavery until they collapsed. The reason why they fell was because most manchus died fighting the taiping rebellion. The manchus relied on Han generals like Zeng Guofan to put down the rebels, then continued relying on Han generals Zuo Zongtang and then Yuan Shikai. Yuan then ended the manchu Qing farce as it was obvious the Han de facto controlled all China.
>>18588468The Ming dynasty already had both matchlock muskets and breech loading muskets. The Qing actually went backwards in firearm technology from the Ming because they didn't think it was important. It would be like if Trump's order to scrap electromagnetic catapults and go back to steam actually went through.
