2$\begingroup$ You'll need to edit this question to show how it is not asking the same questions as the listed duplicates if you want it reopened. $\endgroup$– Monty Wild ♦Commented Nov 2, 2023 at 4:48

1$\begingroup$ I wrote already to ask how they would be trained (so not for the how effective would they be question) and the small bears one doesn't answer the question of using them in war, and then i edited it to say they were not for cavalry, so the question is different to all of them $\endgroup$– boboranonymousCommented Nov 2, 2023 at 4:55

$\begingroup$ @boboranonymous (a) You are allowed to ask one and only one question per post. To reopen the question, you must delete all but one question. (b) How to train an animal is trivially found searching the Internet. Please note the down vote rollover, which says, "this question does not show any research effort." Indeed searching for "how to train bears" on the internet produces many results. Training them for war is no different from training them for anything else. (c) Asking "how/what/why else X?" is open-ended and prohibited (see help center). $\endgroup$– JBHCommented Nov 2, 2023 at 6:00

2$\begingroup$ I have not found a citation for this, but I remember hearing that people who took tame bears around for shows used only young bears. The claim was that they could take a cub and train it for shows. They could use it for two years and then had to kill it. There was a change to the cub around 2 years that would make it dangerous and break training. In nature, the cub stays with a mother for about 2 years and then leaves to find its own place. That change makes warfare bears very problematic. $\endgroup$– David RCommented Nov 3, 2023 at 15:07

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. science-based), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
