Why is asian history so much more kino than western history?
>>
chinese kinos are too hard to mine on the internet
>>
The late roman republic is the most kino period in the history of the human race

Chinese and Japanese history is pretty fucking cool but western history also suffers from having a very particular group of people at the reins of the film industry who very literally consider the Roman empire and the West as its intellectual successor as their mortal enemy. We've gotten gray filtered drab bullshit for the last 25 years because celebrating Europe is racist.

If you think I'm lying about the enemy part go look up Esau and Edom and learn yourself a thing or two

It really isn't. 100 billion death civil wars only stays interesting so many times. Plus, all the aesthetics are the same. I can't tell the difference between 3000 years ago in China and 500 years ago, and neither can you. Western history is pure kino.

if a guy who had the last name/surname/family name of "washington" said he had right to rule over the united states because he's related to george washington, purely from sharing the same name, everyone would call him a retard and ignore him

Chinese history is very mid. Not alot in their history but chinks of a similar culture fighting eachother. In contrast in the ancient Mediterranean you have vastly different cultures clashing against one another for the entirety of the period.
No one would be interested in roman history if it was just a thousand years of Romans fighting romans and never leaving Italy.
>>
>>220929567
I've tried reading Asian history but I just can't keep track of the names and places and other linguistic barriers. All the historical characters and locations blur together. Hoshimoto Kazawazaki did this Oshi-Oto and Yuen Shuen Quen Wan Bing did that at the Hang Shi Chu Wu Bu Lu Palace. Fuck that, I'd rather just read about the European Middle Ages.

>After Pompey was decisively defeated by Caesar at the Battle of Pharsalus in 48 BC, Caesar planned a massive punitive expedition against Dacia. However, this campaign never happened because both Caesar and Burebista were assassinated in 44 BC
>Julius Caesar planned to use 16 legions (approximately 60,000 legionaries) and 10,000 cavalry, along with an unknown number of auxiliary troops against Dacia
>Dacian military consisted of up to 200,000 disciplined warriors

Cicero juggling a collapsing senate in Rome while succesfully routing Antony from Mutina only to be betrayed by Octavian is one of the most tragic episodes of political and military history.

There's no drama cause the millions of peasants that die in every conflict are just bugpeople, unironically.

One retard revolts and millions starve without complaint, nothing changes, repeat.

seen my share of asian historical films but i have no idea what ur blabbering. even in anime some medieval western fantasy setting is far more common than ching chong setting

They recorded everything and made copies of shit, so many records survived, at least in east asia.
A lot of european history is just guessing or trusting a biased opinion of some guy that lived 200 years after the thing he is writing about actually happened.

>>220930035
His top guy and most valuable general pointlessly risked his life for the sake of an infant. If the infant died it would've been inconsequential, but if he died then Liu Bei would've been fucked.

That's because we don't live in a hereditary monarchy, like they did. Being the legitimate successor by blood is a perfectly valid reason to take power in the hereditary monarchy, that's the whole basis of their government in fact.
