>read on how all their kings conquered land and formed a formidable foe against ancient chinese dynasties
>amazed how well documented it really was
>then get to one part
>"Vietnamese didn't make their first documents until Chinese conquest during the 6th-13th century"
>"All of Vietnam's past history is based on legends written down in the 16th century"
>"all their so called Hùng kings are just mythological beings with no historical basis"
>"Prior to any Chinese conquest, Vietnam was nothing more than a bunch of tribal farmers living by the end of the Red River"
And this is considered factual history?

Wait until you get to the part where the Chinese Nanyue kingdom is formed and is basically what paved the way for modern day Vietnam
And Vietnamese love to hate chinks for some reason despite being their bitches from day 1

Wasn't there a siege or something in the 70's? A terrorist group took over Mecca and laid siege for some time, pretty rare to hear it mentioned nowadays.

yes, to the point that the cube was destroyed and the pilgrims were massacred and their bodies were filled inside the Holy well

Not counting people in Chief of staff/ more administrative roles but theres some major criticism for Marshall, recommend Fredenhall essentially because he liked the cut of his jib, who then got fucked up in kasserine.

Patton was pretty good but rokasov and vasilevsky had more talent in their left pinkies then George "what is combat fatigue" Patton.

Like your typical arab nobility coming from the Hejaz would look like, light skinned but not caucausoid white.
>>

Did Muhammad care about race as much as his followers would?
>>
>>2746784
But most of the prominent Arabs moved and died in the sham, so why would the Hejaz portray what Arabs looked like.

If you agree God is the Creator, tgen must believe he is the Creator in essence, or not.
If you say he is in essence the Creator, then you are saying he could be nothing else.
If you say he is the Creator, but not in essence, then you must acknowledge the essence-energies distinction, as did the Holy Fathers: https://www.google.com/amp/s/energeticprocession.wordpress.com/2008/01/20/essence-and-energies-in-the-fathers/amp/

afaik it was planned that the commies would make peace with the Germans, so they could focus on France and Britain, hoping to quickly end the war. Afterwards they'd just try to further destroy the commies.

Is it true that it was a generation of unmarried young men (aka Incels) to overthrow the Senate and establish the Empire?
I heard this thing but struggling to find actual sources.

Pompey, Crassus and Caesar were all married.

I'm pretty sure Caesar, Pompey, Mark Anthony, Augustus and Agrippa were all married and had children.

>Is it true that it was a generation of unmarried young men (aka Incels) to overthrow the Senate and establish the Empire?
Like who?
All the big dogs of the era were married, and Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, actually imposed a tax on long-term single men and women (apart from those who opted for celibacy for religious reasons), as well as couples who had no children.

Unimpeachable loyalty, tireless commitment to improving the situation of his country and a heroic spirit which set the model for Empire builders for generations to come.
Either this is bait, or you're an incredibly dull person for not realising.

Paul completely deviating from the disciples and pulling 99% of it out of his ass.
When the king dies, it would make sense for the queen to become the monarch.
However this is often not the case, as power is, historically at least, typically handed down to the prince who then becomes the new king.
Can someone sum up for me what traditionally becomes of the queen in the event of the king's death? Thanks /his/

no.
King marries a woman -> he's killed -> Queen marries a man -> she's killed -> New King marries again -> etc..

>>2746185
STEP 1 : GO read a book
STEP 2 : it depends so much on the context : some queens were just royal blood baby machines without any power on the state and some of them were... Catherine de Médicis

>>2746185
When the king dies, there is no king, until the queen marries again, or until she abdicates in favor of the king's brother or son, etc.
Sparta is a famous example, Leonidas was some peasant who married the queen, so he acted as king, even though he had zero nobility in him.
