    Keyboard warriors are the most dangerous. They can transform into something dangerous in an instant. A boxer, mma fighter or CIA? You name it. Anything to intimidate his opponent across the internet.

    I idea of the Mohawks and others using bows and arrows while sort of true is a bit of a historical misconception. Many Indigenous peoples of Americas armed themselves with muskets pretty much as soon as they could barter with them, and often times they had better guns than the colonists did because they weren't restricted by arms controls what guns they could purchase. If anything, colonists usually preferred to target the camps where the woman and children would be because they knew in a straight up fight with Indigenous peoples they would lose 9/10 times.

    Half these rankings aren’t by actual power, but meme status. The Spartans had so many issues with their focus on eugenics that it pretty wiped them out as a society, and they didn’t stand at Thermopylae alone.
    Meanwhile, the Aztecs had fucking obsidian swords that could decapitate HORSES. The Mongols could do seemingly impossible archery on horseback, and engaged in biological warfaref(and helped spread bubonic plague, whoops).

      Samurai were basically cops and never really fought wars. They were used to put down peasant rebellions. Every once in a while they would fight each other. They also lost every battle against an outside force.

      Much of the abilities of the Samurai have been exaggerated. Not to say they weren't good at what they were primarily used for. That said they sacrificed armor for agility (as they were Martial Arts experts), which means against a foe with anything more then leather armor, they were basically useles.

    What an experience it would have been to be a Spartan!

    The Vikings did not use two-handed swords. And the principle weapon of the Landschenecht was the two handed great sword known as a Zweyhander or Bidenhander, together with a short sword with a unique S-shaped quillion, known as a katzbalger.
