Edit 3: I thought Falchions were European and the big broad swords you see in the movies/books were scimitars.

As far as I know, scimitars, falchions and sabre's are all curved swords of various types. Sabre's were mainly used by european cavalry. Scimitars originate (more or less) in arabia/central asia and were the weapon of choice for medieval islamic soldiers. Falchions, on the other hand, are mostly a marine (pirate ) weapon, I believe, due to its shape it's more convenient for boarding actions, rolling ships and the rest of it. I'm not sure what they used in china though. Sticks?
