Hey everyone. I just had a question about how common it was for infantrymen in Pre-Colonial Sub-Saharan Africa to wear body armor. Now I know that in the Sahelian states it was quite common for cavalrymen to wear various forms of armour, from padded cloth to chain mail and even iron cuirasses...

Now I know this question is extremely broad, but can anyone outline anything specific about the role of raiding in warfare, from let's say 500-1500 in Europe (although interesting points from other times and places would be welcome), other than the Chevauchée of the Hundred Years War because...

So who can think of all the different times when a fairly large and advanced human society declined into one with a decentralised subsistence level economy.

Another question about something I'm having trouble on the rest of the internet! This time its about the Trans-Saharan empires like Mali and Ghana. Anyone got any good pics or info Thanks!

Just wondering of anyone had any good pictures or information on South Slavs (like the Serbs) or Bulgarians (not their nomadic Bulgar ancestors/cousins) anywhere from the  first Slavic migrations into the Balkans to Ottoman takeover. Thanks and please excuse me if I made any mistakes in this...

Does anyone know much about the vandals during their stay in Africa, and if it had much impact on the local people or did things for them stay largely the same except that their rulers now spoke funny and wore funny clothes
