Different tools for different jobs used differently by different people.

Remember, from a population base of about the same size (two million) the Mongols deployed far more archers much farther from home. There were twice as many Mongol archers (30,000) at Mohi alone (thousands of miles from home) than there were English archers at Crecy, Poitiers, and Agincourt (right next door) combined (15,000).

The English would not have done any better, nor worse, with the Mongol recurve bow. The Mongols would have done worse with the longbow. That’s due to how they fought with them, not how good or bad the bows were.

Draw weights were comparable. English longbows ranged from 80–120lbs at the beginning of the Hundred Years War (which the English lost BTW) to 100–140lbs by the end. By the 16th century most of the bows found on the the ship Mary Rose were in the 140–160lbs range, with the heaviest at about 185lbs.

castortr0y [4]

The religious revivals of the 19th century were called revivalists. At that time the movement was called the Great Awakening. This movement believed that reforms in society must occur to eliminate evil. People anticipated the second coming of Jesus Christ and a new millennial age will rise in society.

 Many people converted their religions because the movement reflected Romanticism, something that appealed to the super-natural. People back then strongly believed of the idea of a new age and enlightenment and they reject skeptical rationalism and deism.

What led the u.s and soviet union to go from allies in ww2 to foes in the cold war?

stich3 [128]

The US and the Soviet Union were only allies in WWII because they were both so worried about Nazi Germany. It was not as if the two countries had any natural reason to be allies. That means that we should not be surprised that they went back to being rivals after WWII.
