  1. Iberia always gets little positive media attention due to the Black Legend.

  2. By that reasoning, Alexander the Great was Asian because he was in Asia most of the time.

  3. There was no "Italy."

  4.  @MARK-gp9hb  In the summer I read Il Principe by Machiavelli. He lamented how Italians fought each other more than others.

  7. @Random person He was Lord of the original Asia which is in western Turkey. Alexander the Great has more glory than any Indian or any Chinese. Europe is laughing in the distance at you who laugh at Alexander the Great.

  8. @Random person Genghis Khan died before China was conquered. Alexander conquered a united Persian Empire which is more impressive than taking a divided China. Mongols didn't conquer all of Asia. Vietnam beat them THREE times. :-)

  9. @Random person You don't care to be fair because you're prejudiced against glorious EVROPA. Genghis was a destroyer, not a builder. Alexander destroyed to build the foundations of Greco-Roman culture.

  10. @Random person Alexander is more famous than Genghis. Even I am named Alejandro because of him. Who is named Chinggis in the world? Even in Mongolia that is probably a rare name. :-) Alexander had the head start of being the Prince of Macedon, but the greater head-start was Mongolia's in that China was busy destroying China (North versus South). The Persian Empire was united, yet Alexander quickly conquered it, and went above and beyond. Genghis didn't even conquer China. His offspring had to finish the job.

  11. @Random person He wasn't even the king of China 'cause he died, but whatever.

  12. Like how Spain saved Europe from Turks but then the British and French stomp on Spain in ingratitude. Without the Spanish Empire, Turkey would have won. Spain was at Vienna, Malta and Lepanto and also in North Africa fighting the Muslims. It is amazing that after the fall of Constantinople, and the zenith of Islam, that Spaniards reached América which meant salvation for Europe, and the start of truly global hegemony such that the Ottoman Empire would drown in the Spanish lake, the Pacific Ocean.
