User:Tiger of Kai

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Tiger of Kai" was the surname of the warlord Takeda Shingen, well-known for his military tactics and the resulting prestige. Shingen tragically died after having ventured to march on the emperor's capital, he who wanted to see the sea beneath the summits.

I mainly use Wikipedia to learn more about the biographies of illustrious figures and historical events or periods. The most fascinating about this for me is when political intrigues, military stratagems and individuals' destinies are intertwined, which is why the history of countries like China, Japan and Korea interests me.

Contradictorily, cruelty and warmongering, as well as fanatical doctrines that prioritize anything over human life, are incomprehensible to me. Nevertheless, I believe that there is no such thing as absolute good and evil, and that these atrocities are fuelled by a lack of understanding of the other (precisely because of this indoctrination, but also because of a lack of cultural knowledge, difficult moral decisions, and so forth).


Editing articles on Wikipedia is not my main hobby, but I always add content if I have a reliable source, while trying to change as little as possible the work of another editor.
