@cf_689 @Neccccy most of the military in europe is white straight males aged 18 to 25. If something actualy happens in the future, the military will break off into 2 or more oposite sides and a war would start.

@realstevegedzyk @RestoreBritain @elonmusk Millions die in a cival war, and who ever wins, wins.

@palebluthoughts @AFpost Same can be said about japan. Pre industrial pop is 30 million. Ww2 is 70 million. Current is 125 million. The problem is never the numbers, it is the money and infrustucture to support old people.

@Heroifrit @RusGarbageHuman We see this comments so many times in the internet. But somehow when it happens in real life the father does nothing. Cases of vengence exist but are very tiny minority.

What if I told you that there were Vikings who settled in France, and within 2 generations(!) conquered southern Italy and built one of the most sophisticated kingdoms in medieval Europe.

A breakdown:

🔹The Normans were descendants of Norse settlers granted land in northern France in 911. By the mid-11th century, landless younger sons were hunting opportunity wherever they could find it , and they found it in southern Italy.

🔹They arrived as mercenaries, fighting for Lombard lords and Byzantine governors. Then they decided they preferred to rule for themselves.

🔹The Hauteville family led the conquest. Robert Guiscard and his brother Roger I seized Apulia, Calabria, and Sicily from Muslim control through a grinding thirty-year campaign that ended in 1091.

🔹In 1130, Roger II united the southern Italian territories under a single crown, becoming the first King of Sicily, one of the wealthiest rulers in Europe, presiding over a kingdom larger than England.

🔹Palermo, the capital, held around 300,000 people , rivaling Cairo and Constantinople. It was one of the great cities of the medieval world.

🔹The kingdom was formally trilingual: Arabic, Greek, and Latin were all official court languages. Norman French made a fourth. No other medieval European state operated this way.

🔹Muslim officials served in the royal administration. Arab geographers, doctors, and astronomers worked at court. The Norman kings wore robes inscribed with Arabic calligraphy and styled themselves in the manner of Eastern potentates.

🔹Roger II commissioned the Tabula Rogeriana (1154) from the Arab geographer Al-Idrisi, the most accurate world map of the medieval era, drawn with south at the top in the Islamic tradition.

🔹Norman churches fused Latin Romanesque architecture with Byzantine mosaics and Arab muqarnas ceilings. The Palatine Chapel in Palermo is the supreme expression of this synthesis, a building that belongs to no single civilisation.

🔹The Assizes of Ariano (1140) were a sweeping royal law code asserting the king's supremacy over church and nobility alike, a centralising act that prefigured absolutism by three centuries.

🔹The Norman fleet dominated the central Mediterranean at its height, raiding North Africa and briefly holding territories on the Tunisian coast. Sicily was a naval power as much as a land one.

🔹The dynasty ended without a male heir. Roger II's aunt Constance married Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI, passing the kingdom to the Hohenstaufen line, and producing Frederick II, arguably the most remarkable ruler of the entire Middle Ages.

🔹Frederick II, who spoke six languages, wrote poetry, conducted scientific experiments, and negotiated with the Sultan of Egypt while on Crusade, was essentially the product of Norman Sicily's cultural inheritance made flesh.

🔹The Sicilian Vespers of 1282, a spontaneous popular uprising that killed thousands of French Angevin soldiers in a single night, ended the last attempt at unified control of the island. The kingdom fractured and never recovered its former coherence.

🔹The Norman Kingdom of Sicily lasted barely 150 years as an independent entity. It remains the only medieval European state that formally tried to integrate Islamic, Byzantine, and Latin Christian traditions as equal pillars of governance.

What strikes me most is how completely they've been forgotten. The Norman Kingdom of Sicily was richer than England, more sophisticated than France, and more tolerant than anywhere in Christendom.

It lasted 150 years and shaped Frederick II, who shaped the rest of the Middle Ages. And almost nobody knows it existed.
