Discover Alpharian Empire - Your right to conquest

For centuries, humanity has clung to the myth of the "noble savage"—the idea that primitive man once lived in peace and harmony. Yet archaeological evidence shatters this illusion, revealing that prehistoric man engaged in violence, murder, and warfare long before the dawn of civilization. War, not peace, is mankind's most ancient inheritance.

It follows, then, that man's most primitive and undeniable right was never peace but conquest. Denying this right is futile unless backed by an iron will and military strength to enforce it. 

This is why 90–95% of known societies have been shaped by warfare, as history shows that nations rise and fall by their ability to conquer or resist.

History has revealed three principal methods of conquest.

  The first and most direct method of conquest is through military force, where one nation or group imposes its will on another by war. This approach, while often swift and decisive, carries significant long-term consequences. 

The brutality of military conquest fosters deep resentment among the conquered population, leading to widespread animosity that can fuel insurgency and rebellion. To maintain control, the conquering power is forced to station large numbers of troops to suppress uprisings, leading to a prolonged and costly occupation. 

This creates a continuous drain on resources, both financial and human, making military conquest difficult to sustain over time. Furthermore, the legitimacy of rule is often questioned by the local population, further undermining stability and fostering ongoing resistance. The initial victory may be clear, but the effort to maintain dominance can prove far more complex and unsustainable.  

  The second method, religious conquest, relies on spiritual dominance rather than brute force. By convincing the conquered people that submission to their rule is not only a political necessity but also a religious obligation, the captors can establish control through faith. 

This method can be highly effective in creating a sense of moral and divine legitimacy, making the population more willing to accept their subjugation. 

However, religious conquest is inherently fragile, as it depends on the unwavering belief of the people. Should disillusionment set in—whether due to the hypocrisy of leaders, unmet promises, or a cultural awakening—the grip of religious control can quickly unravel. 

Without the force of arms to back it, once faith in the ruling power is broken, it leaves the regime vulnerable to uprisings or external challenges. 

Unlike military conquest, where force can be reasserted, religious control lacks the power to reclaim dominance once the spiritual bond between ruler and ruled is severed. This makes it precarious and highly dependent on maintaining the unwavering trust and belief of the conquered.
