Why did people stop duelling? Because shooting people for being rude to you became to be seen as impolite.

[@davidwuhrer6704]

@@zollen123 It can certainly be interpreted that way. During the culture clash, many otherwise honourable young men refused to have honour for this reason. But it actually just meant that your integrity was far more important than your life. Though it does not necessarily mean that you couldn't admit when you're wrong. As I said: It was not about winning. It was to prove that you are a man of his word. The idea was that no gentleman would say anything lightly or carelessly; insulting someone by word or action carried the risk to lose one's life or - worse - one's honour (and with it one's rights and privileges, which also affected one's family). The biggest insult was to be refused satisfaction, because that meant you were seen as not worth standing up to; as beneath the challenged one's honour and standing. So even if you were wrong, and ready to admit it, you still had to be willing to put your life on the line first, or your admission would have been meaningless.

1:23 This is a really cool easter egg. The guy in royal clothes is the German Chancellor Bismark. The other guy is a scientist called Rudolf Virchow. Virchow was very critical of Bismark and one day the chancellor had enough and challenged him to a duel. Since the rule is that the challenged party chooses the weapons, Virchow chose two sausages, one of which was infected with a deadly bacteria and the other was perfectly fine. He told the chancellor to eat one and he would have the other. Bismark immediately withdrew the challenge. Don't mess with a scientist, yo.

The weapons have to be identical. I did hear a story where a French aristocrat challenged a blacksmith, so the blacksmith set the conditions of the fight to be with sledgehammers in 5 and a half feet of water, the idea being that the shorter aristocrat would have an impossible time doing anything with the heavy weapon while his arms are fully submerged in water. The blacksmith was taller and stronger, meaning he could wield the weapon above water without raising his arms too much.

[@gujwdhufjijjpo9740]

I’m my moms hometown in Kansas, there was a duel back in the 80s. One guy died and the other was never arrested. Sheriff didn’t want to deal with it, perhaps due to laziness, safety reasons, and lack of evidence. Probably a combination of all 3. Basically 2 men, who had been fighting for decades, finally agreed to meet in the desert, alone. Each was to bring a firearm of their choice, I assume handguns but I’m blurry on the details. One man came back, the other wasn’t seen again. There were no witnesses of the actual fight, but many people witnessed the challenge. It’s actually an urban legend there now and all the parents say it’s true. My mother would’ve been in Highschool when it happened.

[@Delightfully_Bitchy]

It sounds like a pretty plausible story, frankly. You'd be surprised how often cops don't investigate a death/murder, especially as recent as the 90's. (When the internet wasn't much of a thing.)

[@isaac_aren]

An important note is that with sword duels, it was often to first blood rather than to the death, making it my far the safest option of weapon

[@louisliu5638]

except in Japan, where (not commonly known) a samurai sword fight often ended up with BOTH very very dead.

[@goranpersson7726]

up until guns became hella accurate even over longer distances those were quite safe (well not safe cuz dangerous shit but surprisingly safe) because ye, they happened quite often at distances where both parties just ended up missing each other

[@TigerofRobare]

Actually, pistols were generally seen as safer, because people would often fire to deliberately miss (Alexander Hamilton did so in his dfuel with Burr, expecting Burr to do the same) whereas dueling with swords to first blood carried the risk of infection. There was allegedly a duel in Austria between two aristocratic women where they fought topless to prevent a sword thrust from drving a piece of cloth into any wounds, which was considered more likely to lead to infection.

[@Rutherford_Inchworm_III]

Depends on how much the other guy hates you. He could easily run the sword through your guts instead of swinging it to cut.

In Germany and Austria, there are still many duels between students of different fraternities with razor-sharp swords. These are not officially 100% legal, but have a long tradition that is still lived every day. I have seen many of these duels and the injuries can be really bad.

[@baguettegott3409]

Which, to be clear, is seen as insane by all other people in Germany and Austria. Fraternities in general are the biggest imaginable red flag and avoided like the plague by most normal people. Some are apparently fine, just a bunch of dudes living in a mansion and drinking ungodly amount of alcohol, but when they look for new members they have to explicitly state everywhere that no, they're not nazis, they're not rapists, they're not racist etc, because otherwise people will rightfully assume that they are all those things. And that they stab each other with swords.

[@jonny_sm884]

They do follow strict rules and do not result in death or lasting injury, leaving scars (Schmiss) at most. Sometimes nobody gets injured as long as the "duel" is fought until the end or one side calls it off for a number of reasons.

Mensur is not real duels, just the children of the 1% ritually scarring each other for social points at ultra-exclusive military schools. I personally wouldn't hire anybody with mensur scars, but in the circles of the elite in Germany it's apparently a sign you're a Count or a Duke or something.

[@jackpanozzo6004]

There’s frats in Europe?

[@famine92]

In Germany there still is a tradition that evolved from dueling. The rules have been changed so the risk of dying is basically zero but you can still get seriously hurt (mostly just loss of blood, scars, seldomly part of the air or a patch of skin can get lost). It is a fencing match with a special set of rules. It is not considered a duel because it is not actually about honor but in practice, there are many ocassions where an insult leads to a fencing "match" (avoiding to call it a duel here) and the insult is "forgotten" after the fencing match is concluded.

One thing I’d like to know is how often duels like this actually happened. Obviously, the answer would vary by time, place, and context, but modern depictions - or at least parodies - often show duels being fought over fairly trivial reasons. Again, “trivial” is highly subjective, but if every perceived slight or misunderstanding resulted in two men pulling weapons on each other, it would be a constant bloodbath.

1:23 That man you see holding the sausage is Rudolf Virchow. He opposed Otto Von Bismarck's excessive military budget, which led to Von Bismarck challenging him to a duel. He chose two pork sausages as weapons : one regular sausage and another one infected with Trichinella larvae. They would both pick and eat one and see which one of them would die a painful death. Bismarck called the duel off after hearing this proposition.

Social norms can be a very powerful factor. Many people were forced to participate in duels exactly for that reason. Just imagine you're an officer and one of the other officers comments on your ... (clothes, girlfriend, mustache... whatever). Now you are obliged to challenge him, otherwise, you lose respect of all your fellow officers. And the arguments like "but guys, it's barbaric" won't work, you'll be proclaimed a coward if you say that. Great that we don't have it anymore. We have other stupid things though

a professor pointed out that often, dueling was just an act of courage, not always a fight to death. if two people fire one shot from a 19-century pistol at each other over a distance of 30 meters, it's pretty likely they both missed. that allowed for settling disputes without either party losing their face.

@THE JOKER 1v1s on Rust were a thing in Modern Warfare 2.

They were generally used when a sniper player got really mad at another sniper player so they messaged them saying what Leszas’s comment says. Fox 1v1s on Final Destination were a thing back in Smash Bros Melee. Fox was the character all the pros used, Final Destination was a very ceremonial map, and no items means that you can only use your melee, pistol, smashes, airs and grabs.

An important factor was the value of life. In the Middle Ages there were so many ways to die that death in duel was considered ok. As life became more precious duel was no longer attractive proposition - yet old habits die hard and many people were more afraid of dishonor than death. It then was a gradual process which sometimes was encouraged by government bans.
