When we talk about wars in which one side was clearly more "correct" than the other, we generally think of modern wars. WWII, The American Civil War, the Russian Civil War, French Revolution, Wars of Decolonization, the Vietnam War, etc. But what about BEFORE that? In the pre-enlightenment days these seem to have been much less common. That isn't to say they didn't exist, of course. There were plenty of Peasant's Revolts and Slave Uprisings and whatnot.
So what are some wars pre-1492 that you feel had a very clear-cut good and bad side? Bonus points for wars between states rather than uprisings.
Note: a side of a conflict being "Historically Progressive" will not automatically make it "good". British Colonialism in India was historically progressive, that doesn't mean it was good.
The history of all hitherto society is the history of class struggle
The mongols because they were anti-imperialist easterners liberating eurassia
>>2832705Mongols only attacked those who deserved it. The righteous were spared, respected and honoured.
>>2832700Athens was so much better then the Spartans, it's unbelievable that they lose the fucking greeks should have known their place.
>>2832711Wasn't Athens actually more of a slave society than Sparta?
>>2832705Why do you think they were called the AbaSSids?
>>2832712All greek societies were parasitic
>>2832712It was less of a slave society then Sparta, most of the athenian mens were citizen, most of the Spartans were slaves.
>>2832722Oh sorry they were only 97% hitler. Big difference 🤓
>>2832725I'm just tired of the constant Sparta lovers and I'm just sad that Thebes didn't burn them to the ground more.
>>2832725>>2832712spartan military society was militant because the helots were worked to death so frequently that they revolted constantly. the economic strain of constantly needing to replace slaves along with such a massive policing budget resulted necessarily in relative aesceticism relative to other greeks at the time.
people think the spartans were tough but they were actually just retarded.
>>2832736oh, sorry, i got that slightly wrong: the ancient spartans were too busy beating the shit out of the ethinically-differentiated helots whose land they had invaded and occupied.
so Sparta was literally just ancient Israel, all the way down to the universal conscription.
