Western History Through War
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The war wasn't a "battle of men," but a "chicken game of fools." Let's see the absurd antics of leaders throughout history in cartoon form! *** With a total of over 1 million views *** The very same comic that heated up various communities such as Pemco, Ruliweb, and DC! An incompetent commander is more fearsome than the enemy. Because even one mistake can lead countless allies to their deaths. People think that war is waged with great care, but that is not the case. The Fourth Crusade ended up pillaging Hungary and the Eastern Roman Empire, which were on the same side, because there was no money to go all the way to Jerusalem, and Hitler in World War II was obsessed with megalomania and continued the offensive recklessly, which ended up ruining the war. Even the People's Crusades of the 11th century set out without a supply plan and transformed into bandits. This is not a story confined to the past. Just recently, Russian soldiers were also running around robbing Ukrainian supermarkets because they couldn't get supplies. While supplies are in this state, Russia is still attacking Ukraine under the pretext of "special military training," and is plunging the entire world into a whirlpool of chaos. Most of the wars that changed the world like this were full of mistakes and misjudgments, and even in wars with plausible causes, absurd things happened repeatedly. If you look into their inner workings, they seem so familiar that they might even seem ridiculous. 《Western History Through War》 is a book that deals with 24 wars in a comic format, which are a little bit ridiculous and a little bit silly. In order to not miss out on the unique fun of comics, we actively utilized internet memes (gag codes popular on the internet) and meticulously included historical facts and points without missing any. In fact, history is full of passages that make you ask, 'Is this true?' How to bring such points to life is the charm of historical comics. This cartoon, serialized by two authors on Pemco and Ruliweb, received an explosive response and accumulated views exceeding 1 million. It has already proven its ‘drip power’ and fun. From the confrontation between Alexander the Great and the Persian Empire to the Cuban Missile Crisis, we explore the major conflicts that shaped the world we live in today, meeting leaders and the wars they waged, sometimes familiarly, sometimes unfamiliarly. |

Publisher's Review
Russia, a laughing stock for its outrageous strategy
“Is it a long-standing human tradition to ruin wars by the mistakes of leaders?”
When Russia attacked Ukraine in early 2022 under the absurd pretext of a "special military operation," most people predicted the war would be over within 48 hours.
But when the true state of the Russian army was revealed, people could not help but be shocked.
Aren't there 1.5 million sets of military uniforms only on paper? A 64km-long column of Russian tanks stopped in the middle of the road? Even the sight of the Ukrainian army, vastly outnumbered in military power, struggling to keep up with the offensive.
People couldn't help but laugh at the unexpected Russian military performance.
So whose fault is it all? The answer is clear.
Who else but the leaders and their cronies who single-handedly started an incomprehensible war?
But would you believe that it is a long-standing tradition of mankind to lose wars due to the wrong judgments and mistakes of leaders?
“Napoleon’s defeat was due to hemorrhoids? Is that true?”
The Ridiculous Moments After the War That Changed the World
There is a saying that 'peace is only the space between wars'.
The times of peace that humanity has enjoyed are fleeting compared to the times of chaos.
The history of mankind was written with a blood-soaked brush.
The role of leaders who command the war cannot but be important.
But when you dissect them one by one, something seems off about these people. They dismiss strategic failure as a defeat due to lack of courage, and without any countermeasures, they storm enemy lines 16 times. They print out classified military documents in enemy printing houses. They hand over command to incompetent officers and desert the front lines because of hemorrhoids. They just suck their thumbs while the Axis powers blatantly invade neighboring countries and expand their influence.
Is this really okay?
Human greed is endless and they repeat the same mistakes.
But, that doesn't mean we need to fold our arms and look at history with a serious face.
Just laugh at what has passed, enjoy it, learn from it, and fix it.
The Battle of Waterloo, which changed the game because of hemorrhoids, the Crusaders who were preying on the same group of people, the United States and the Soviet Union who almost started a nuclear war because of a fight for pride…
Surprisingly, all of this is historical fact.
Join two authors who boast overwhelming 'drip power' and knowledge to meet foolish leaders and the wars they cause.
