  1. Mulan is older though, as she is from the Tang Dynasty era (or slightly after that).

  2. Saying that with your name and avatar is kind of ironic. And the only government we Jews control is Israel's...

  3. Partially true, but the real (original) reason why they're called "immortals" is because a Greek who spent some time at the Persian court with the Shahenshah had misheard the word, the Persian name for the elite force sounds very similar to their word for "immortal".

  4. Not just "a third", about ⅔ of all Titans weren't imprisoned, only those that sided with Kronos (*not Chronos*), the God of the Sun (Helios) was also a Titan.

  5. I wouldn't see it like that, we don't "live on" in others memories, once we die we are no longer capable of perceiving anything or even remembering who we were, so all glory in life and things we have accumulated mean nothing to us after death, this includes memories of us. Napoleon is equally dead as Jonathan Doe from Farplaceshire.

  6. Polish history extends beyond the Commonwealth, even under foreign rule the Polish attempted to re-establish the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and under Napoleon even briefly created the Duchy of Warsaw as a revival state, if they do a series on Poland-Lithuania they shouldn't stop at the partitions but also cover not just Polish but also Belarussian and Ukrainian history during the 19th century.

  7. A lot, and people are still attempting it today.

  8. Humanity could have gone extinct in the cold war, even the smallest of things could have set in motion a war between the U.S.A. And U.S.S.R. that could've ended modern civilisation, we should be really glad that one of those superpowers doesn't exist anymore...

  9. The 300 film borrows heavily from Ancient Greek propaganda but has a lot of historical accuracies (you read that right) that debunk many of Herodotus' claims, in fact in the film itself it weren't just 300 Spartans and the allies were mentioned. The focus just lied on the Spartans.

  10. Yep, they literally explain her reversal of liberal reforms at the end. But in reality until recently only those born in nobility had any influence.

  11. Because there were no real villains in W.W. 1, every side was inhumane, all were perpetrators and victims. This wasn't to say that the allies of the second world war were nice, but their intentions were good, during the first world war there are so many factors that come into play that simply reducing an enemy to "the baddies" would be severely disrespectful.

  12. 04:50 Longbowmen also tended to have one massively muscular arm and one regular arm...

  13. 00:20 It was religious violence, not racial violence as Muslims aren't a race (unless you mean Bosniaks or Chinese Muslims who are called "the Muslim race" in their respective homelands).

  14. Bad research from Extra Credits' part, that's the "Age of Heroes", L.O.L.

  15. I like the reference.

  16. This is only the beginning of the story, stuff only goes downwards in the next episode.

  19. Abrahamists always dæmonise non-Abrahamic religions, the medieval Roman-Catholic Church viewed the first Buddha as (and I sh¡t you not)... Satan going back in time to imitate Jesus centuries before his crucifixion to trick the people of the East into a false religion.

  20. Rome.

  21. I still think it's miasma...

  22. Actually he got those places because they were the most important, Italy was the old land of the Romans, Burgundy was home to one of the most powerful and influential Germanic tribes, and the Netherlands being the ancestral homeland of the Franks where a lot of their power was (still) based.

  23. Still lasted longer than I do, about 45 times as long... ¿Or are we talking about something else?

  24. Maybe the Eastern-Roman Emperor had really bad hand-writing and when he wrote "¿Can y'all please protect us?" Read "¿Can y'all please pillage us?" It's the only thing that would make sense...

  25. Yes, think of all the wars the internet is preventing *right now*...

  26. Poor Joffrey, not even he is as bad as Nicholas II.

  27. Aphrodite, Hermaphrodite is her (¿)son(?) with Hermes.

  28. 06:35 þat map is waaaayyyy off, Flanders included a part of French Flanders and Zeelandic Flanders and most certainly did not include þe lands of Brabant and Limburg, modern day Flanders looks noþing like þe historical French province of Flanders.

  29. Or just the German war (the war between Austria and Prussia) that tore Germany apart and created the North-German Confederation.

  30. 2 (two) years later, that image is still there, cool.

  31. In fact at the end of the 19th century a man said that the invention of radio would end all war as soldiers would know the humans they would be facing and everyone could just talk things out like adults... Anyone who has spent even a minute on the internet knows how wrong this is...

  32. The Chinese (or maybe the Jurchens) were the first to do that facing the Mongol invasions and fiat paper currency failed heavily in China, the Mongols later adopted this exact same strategy... And succeeded, because they're the Mongols.

  33. Nazi's weren't even fascists, fascism stayed mostly isolated to Latin-Europe.

  34. Still, he was a staunch anti-atheist and whether or not he was a Christian his religiosity is proven, he felt great admiration for Islam and combatative Christianity. He only disliked religion when if clashed with his ideology.

  35. Remember the Alma.

  36. 09:35 "Angola's freedom", no, Angola wasn't a þing back þen, it's an identity created by þe Portuguese.

  37.  @Zekor4  Japan is correct, the more commonly known flag is a naval ensign (which is still used today for Japan's self-defense forces at sea).

  38. There is a reason why the Europeans could easily beat the Mexicans, the moment we landed on their shores other Indian tribes welcomed the Conquistadors with open arms to defeat this bloodthirsty menace.

  39. 06:40 People DO want to see that.

  40. Well, if these horrors never occurred then you wouldn't have been born, but then again we all live today because so many before us were robbed of their lives. The sad truth of living.

  41. But Filipino history is just that, the Spanish only wanted it as a trading port with China, the Philippine revolution was an offshoot of the Cuban one (which is why the Filipino and Puerto Rican flags resemble the Cuban one), and the later uprising was just Japan.

  42. ¿Haven't you watched 300?

  43. Japan was actively failing at catching up with the West during the 1860's~Early 1880's Japanese products were always inferior and the Japanese made bad copies of the West having to import lots and get into a lot of debt doing so.

  46. The hypothesis that the Sea People came from Western- and Southern-Europe could easily be solved by checking the contemporary bone structures found in Europe, if there was indeed a famine happening that would inspire maritime migration then then the skeletons of those people would show the usual symptoms associated with starvation...

  47. Deutschland Über Alles, Russia should give independence to all minorities and give their Caucasian territories to the Ottoman Empire. The British and French should give all of Middle-Africa to Germany, and the Brits and Italians must hand North-Africa back to the Ottomans.

  48. ¿Why use the Socialist flag of China? China was controlled by the Guomindang at the time...

  49. A lot more than just a sandwich, the war could've been averted at so many stages...
