And don't say Mongols/Huns, they're nomads, not warriors who spend their who life only training for war (Spartans/samurai).
>The Lauded Spartans: Ruled an area the size of Rhode island.
>Samurai: Conquered Korea (who hasn't?) for like, a year.
>Maori: for some reason leftist youtubers think they're the greatest thing ever, but they didn't conquer shit.
> Zulus: ruled a Connecticut sized "empire" before getting curb stomped out of existence by 3 Gatling guns.
>Vikings: did the best, but arguably not even warriors but opportunistic traders/raiders. AND their conquests weren't a unified empire.
>it's the basedboys who idealize masculine, martial cultures
Nothing means anything anymore.
Gymcelism is very onions behaviour

working out is le snoyy rn amirite redditbros
Working out isnt snoy, but thinking working out is the end all be all is snoy. You have to have intelligence and skill to go with your gains
>Why didn't any warrior societies form huge empire
Mongolia.
as if history is not a cookie cutter mechanical reality or something, lmao
also
>skips Mughals entirely to bitch how local Sikhs were
lmao, does OP think Sikhs spawned out of nowhere and doesnt know exactly WHY they were so local
>Nova Mongolia rule over lower slave
>Zulus:
They would have been a lot more successful if they weren't up against Anglos and Boers who had far more advanced weaponry. You're really underestimating how much fire power a gatling gun has compared to spears.
>The Lauded Spartans: Ruled an area the size of Rhode island.
They were pussies ruled by women and having anal sex as initiation ritual i would not put so high
Every nation outside of some modern administrative fictions was built around and out of a warrior society.
>(who hasn't?)
China (lmao).
They did. Korea used to be much bigger than it is now.
Vikings don't fit in that picture at all, Cnut's empire looks epic as hell.
However, vikings could be else descibed as sailors and traders, not only warriors. (Verification not required.)
Daylamites - Mercenaries from the mountains
Safavids - sufi group that gained an armed following and started a military career
cause you gotta do more shit than war to have an empire.
Huns were pathetic tho
>warrior empire
It's warrior culture, the phrase "warrior empire" isn't used in any academic or historical context.
That's retarded, samurai aren't a society unto themselves, they are a class-institution of a society
Warriors are more of a condition for society to flourish than an actual active component.
Any society of great warriors lacking in civilizational, educational, economic and knowledge is just a den of filthy barbarian scum that won't last for too long
Because warrior culture is built on elitism and locally oppressing the losers around you. To build an empire is based more on logistics and broad appeal.
>Spartans
Greek propaganda. We know very little about them. The famous “agoge” was more for creating model citizens than creating uber warriors
>Samurai
Samurai were used more for “law and order” and small battles. Also they became a myth and over-hyped. Also Japan was in a state of constant civil war for like hundreds of years.
>Zulus
Well because Gatling Guns are actually very hard to fight against. Have you ever tried it? Millions of Europeans died from them too
>Vikings
The term Viking was more of an occupation that farmers did for extra income. Then it became a failed colonization as they assimilated (Normans, Rus). It’s also mythological to the point where fantasy became fact
The Aztecs and Tlaxcaltecs. And basically every other Mesoamerican civilization.
