Guns, more so than any other factor from the late medieval era onwards, played the principle roll in ending feudalism and truly making men equal.
Wrong, it was israelites. Bordeaux had israelites and created Girondists.
>God created man, Sam Colt made him equal
not true.
Guns don't really help equality in any way, they do dumb down warfare if that is your point but that allows cops to form.
>but that allows cops to form
100% this is the GDP schizo
How do they dumb down warfare?
>they do dumb down warfare
If anything guns and artillery made warfare way more complex than it used to be. For centuries, heavy infantry and cavalry were the meta. Every once in a while you would get somebody who subvert the meta like mounted archers under Genghis Khan and Subotai, the English in the 100 Years War with their longbowmen, or the Swiss Confederacy with their long pikes and crossbowmen; but for the most part - from Alexander up until the final years of the Hundred Years War - heavy infantry and cavalry was the definitive battlefield meta that only GOAT-tier generals like Hannibal, Belisarius, and Tamerlane could defy. Then guns and cannons showed up. And, as early as the Burgundian Wars, Granada War, and Italian Wars, the meta that had been set in stone since the days of antiquity was flipped on its head.
Suddenly, even the lowly peasant who normally stood no chance against a knight even on foot could be equipped and trained within a few days to shoot a knight dead. Suddenly, a mass of pikemen could be scattered with a few volleys from arquebussiers whom they outnumbered and also have their fortifications broken by artillery. Suddenly, the art of markmanship from the saddle no longer belonged to only the warriors of the steppe, as even a mediocre rider was deadly with a matchlock pistol in hand. Firearms didn't dumb down warfare, they made it truly dynamic for the first time in millennia.
Mounted archers exist since early antiquity you moronic homosexual
Temujin and subutai didnt invent them
PROTIP: At the very start Peasants had no access to firearms most of the time. They were expensive af.
Governments & Urban Militias did.
They were still cheaper than crossbows, longbows, or mechanical artillery.
> Every once in a while you would get somebody who subvert the meta like mounted archers under Genghis Khan and Subotai
horse archers were present in most of euroasia for thousands of years, and did jack shit for most of the time
what actually was the meta was proper cavalry doctrine and lancers
there is not a single Mongol battle ever described being won by horse archery
it is mostly a western meme from oriental dumbasses because it looks so fricking cool
in fact, the only two times Mongol horse archers are specifically mentioned separately in their invasion of Europe,
...they lose miserably lol
>correlation = causation
never change
Its not that simple lmao.
You have gays who ended feudalism without any access to guns like Post-Warring States China. All it took was 700 years of total warfare mcfricking killing the warrior class & nobility, and a people convinced that giving the monarch all the power & control of the armed forces is key to surviving such a brutal world.
Meanwhile you also have gays whose feudalism INTENSIFIED thanks to guns, like Feudal Japan. All firearms over there did was intensify the power of the Daimyo and decrease reliance on purely Samurai armies, enabling Daimyo with large population fiefs to mobilize regular soldiery in an effective manner.
In both cases, shit didn't lead to epic equality.
No its simple, dude with gun walks up and shoots king, this ends feudalism
same thing happened in India. Guns were produced on a large scale but that didn't do away with feudalism or kingdoms.
Gorgeous gun. Have a Moroccan one.
Guns reinvigorated the knight after Gewalthaufen threatened his role. For a century pistoleers ruled the battlefield.
Im saving up to buy a musket lads. Should I get a brown bess, a charleville, or an 1853 enfield?
If you get the enfield make sure to go parker hale since those are the only repros with properly made barrels. Progressive depth rifling as the originals had. Generally nicer than italian guns too
So why did feudalism last in Japan until the early 19th century then?
>truly making men equal.
except for those who had the power to control lots of men with guns. so nothing changed in the grand scheme of things.
>played the principle roll
>principle roll
why are illiterates allowed to post here?
Feudalism had already effectively ended by the time firearm’s became accessible and were largely used by non feudal society beforehand
Feudalism didnt end until the French revolution and its after-effects
>Feudalism didnt end until the French revolution
As in the institution called Feudalism? Sure. But the reality of the situation even in the 15th century was that vassals were irrelevant and most non existant due to the absolute collection of power into the Monarchs hands. Which is nothing like Feudalism which I suspect you are thinking about, it's like calling the Roman Empire feudal because they had aristocrats when all the state functionaries were controlled by the monarch alone.
The French nobleman/clergy still had the right to tax people and wagons passing through their territory, French feudalism was old school feudalism
No, the development of formalized bureaucracies ushered out feudalism.
modern era starts at the ak47 to kill the 47 chromo lot of fvey
Feudalism never ended until 1756 in Scotland and the 1800s in Russia.
More so guns existed since the 1300s living with feudalism across most of Europe for 400-500 years
Feudalism in Western Europe ended with the Black Death, long before the mass use of firearms.
>ending feudalism and truly making men equal
Do you feel socially and politically equal to the powermongers of our era?
Do you feel like you would win a litigation against them if you were absolutely in the right?
Is there no entity to which you owe taxes and service? Who is the actual owner of the land you live in?
The truth is that feudalism was just a cultural and economic phenom based on the primacy of land ownership over all other sources of wealth accumulation.
The underlying power mechanics in our society have never changed and will never change.
