  1.  @ObiJoanQuenobi  Stalin definitely murdered Trotsky for personal reasons.

  2. Except that never happened.

  3. The silly part is when people start dick measuring with how many people the Commies and Nazis killed even though a lot of that was fighting each other. But also note the US coined the term totalitarian in order to get one word that described both nazis and commies because they're both seen as bad

  6. Fun, it sites a bunch of conflicting sources, none of which are Mongol histories. They're sources about economics and demographics that mention the wars in passing. they're also including all war related disease outbreaks because of that one time when the Mongols deliberately infected their enemies

  7. At one point Khan's enemies surrendered and turned in their king to Khan as payment. Khan took the king prisoner, then executed the traitors and spared the king. The king had fought to the end as expected of him, but his men were cowards sacrificing their friends to save themselves. The thing about the Mongols is they didn't see wars in the way we see them, they saw fiat wars as normal competition between nations. Also, Ghengis Khan was the product of a "bride stealing" incident and he appears to have made no effort to end that practice

  8. No one ever even alleged the Mongols did that. The worst they were accused of was executing defenders after they surrendered and no one knows if this is true.

  9. Those guys also robbed Mongol trade caravans while fighting civil wars at the same time. Slightly degenerative......

  11. He was constantly marrying for political reasons, I never saw anything about forced marriages. One of the legends of Khan's death was that for reasons unknown his newest bride stuck a trap up her privates that cut off Khan's privates when they were together and he later died of the injury, but that's the least likely story of his death. Khan himself was the product of a "bride stealing" incident and isn't known to have made any effort to end the practice, though.

  12. Lose the bull. The Romans never committed genocide at any point or for any reason

  13. The "Mongol conquests" are themselves a misnomer as the size and composition of the army changed year to year and all the campaigns did politically was insert Mongol captains as kings locally as the army moved on and these kings only kept working together for as long as they were directly related to each other. This is why you see a lot of Mongol words and culture spread around the Earth, but very little Mongol DNA and no permanent states formed. You can imagine the contemporary propaganda, though

  14. The Mongol invasions are not taught in any gen ed history course in the US whatsoever.

  15. The reason the Mongols have a bad reputation is centuries later in India an empire doing many horrible things called itself the Mongols and the British Empire crushed them. What they didn't realize was the Mongol connection was bogus

  16. @CptTango22  on the contrary, the classic sign of misinformation is spam behavior
