In 1213 King John after being excommunicated by Pope Innocent the third, sent emissary's to Morocco asking for protection, due to the majority of his barons hating him and threat from a French invasion. In return for Moroccan support he would make Islam the official state religion.

The caliphate of the time (thinking that this was retarded) rejected the proposal. My question is though what if he had accepted and sent troops to England, attempting to protecting John and enforcing a English conversion to Islam.

lol no, the 13th century English would btfo any Morrocan invasion that came ashore.

Not to mention that you are talking about an amphibious assault 2000km away that has to pass the Castilian and Portuguese fleets.

It would have been a slaughter.

For the Ummayads, a rival muslim power not directly under their control was always a threat. The greatest threat to every islamic dynasty has always been other moslems.

To be honest, I doubt that was possible absent something absolutely huge changing the KMT such that they were no longer what they were. They had almost no ability to actually extract support from the areas their troops held, and that's a really bad sign in a civil war.

But, assuming it happens somehow, you'd have the late 20's-early 30s period of China all over again. China is mostly divided into warlord groups, and you have the biggest, meanest one extracting tribute from the others. Eventually, you get a new revolt against them, and we'll see if they can fend that one off.

if they can establish a strong centralized government, and break out of US's control they will of course become a great power much faster that the commie. Obviously since Mao was no rulers in peace time.
And that is a bad bad time for its neighbors. You know the Han has this imperialism mindset, it is in their blood, that along with a country of rich history, population, resource and territory they gonna compete with US as the dominant force in the world stage.
if not then

Call me crazy, but was France's defeat in WWII a conspiracy?

>the Maginot Line was proposed by Philippe Pétain, the man appointed Chief of Vichy France
>Pétain, a national hero for his actions at Verdun, resolved to dissolve the French Republic immediately after being appointed prime minister
>Pétain spontaneously implemented racial policies copied verbatim from Nazi Germany's, despite no pressure from the Nazis to do so--policies much harsher and more strictly enforced than Italy's

He was also accused, during WWI, of plotting to surrender prematurely to the Germans.
>Just prior to the main meeting Prime Minister Clemenceau claimed he heard Pétain say "les Allemands battront les Anglais en rase campagne, après quoi ils nous battront aussi" ("the Germans will beat the English (sic) in open country, then they'll beat us as well"). He reported this conversation to President Poincaré, adding "surely a general should not speak or think like that?" Haig recorded that Pétain had "a terrible look. He had the appearance of a commander who had lost his nerve". Pétain believed – wrongly – that Gough's Fifth Army had been routed like the Italians at Caporetto.

>he köçek (plural köçekler in Turkish) was typically a very handsome young male rakkas, or dancer, who usually cross-dressed in feminine attire, and was employed as an entertainer.

>Famous poets, such as Fazyl bin Tahir Enderuni, wrote poems, and classical composers, such as the court musician Hammamizade İsmail Dede Efendi (1778–1846), composed köçekces for celebrated köçeks. Many Istanbul meyhanes (nighttime taverns serving meze, raki or wine) hired köçeks. Before starting their performance, the köçek danced among the spectators, to make them more excited. In the audience, competition for their attention often caused commotions and altercations. Men would go wild, breaking their glasses, shouting themselves voiceless, or fighting and sometimes killing each other vying for the boys' sexual favors

>Köçeks were much more sought after than the Çengi ("belly dancers"), their female counterparts. Some youths were known to have been killed by the Çengi, who were extremely jealous of men's attention toward the boys.

Its a meme. Personal shields existed but were not popular, what was popular were larger shields up in front of formations or put up as a makeshift barrier

A married heterosexual couple is planning on having their first child. They visit the doctor as a precaution and the doctor discovers that due to a rare genetic condition that both parents have, if they do decide to have children every one of their children will be born blind, and there is no cure.

Should they be allowed to conceive?

>>2454491
Yes.

Being blind doesn't automatically mean a life of endless suffering, if you go down the route of saying kids shouldn't be born if they suffer then ban all childbirth.
>>
>>2454491
They should be allowed, as in, no laws against it. But it should be frowned upon very highly so that it doesn't actually happen.
>>
I don't think so. but the law says it's okay so I won't bitch, it's not that big of a deal

You're a retard too, OP. It's just impossible to see your own biases. There's obviously *some sense* in which it's a cycle, because we can describe it using purely sin waves.

Everything on this planet is cyclical. Humans are no different

Without god there is no morality, but without creation there is no god.

And we were not created, we evolved from other species over millions of years, and inhabit an insignificant rock in an unremarkable spot in an unfathomably large universe.

Shouldn't the current head of House Solomon be given the right to rule Israel and build the Third Temple?

How did the Qing and the communists completely fuck up humanity's greatest civilization?

China had continuously maintained magnificent history and culture until the 18th-19th centuries.

They had always been the greatest at art, architecture, music, dance, festivals, warfare, trade, economy, religion, science, philosophy, everything, but as soon as the Qing took over, China was doomed to follow a path of absolute misery.

Today, the Chinese people are no longer known for being wise, hard working, skilled. They are known for being disgusting, souless, inhumane. Today, China is not know for any of its former glory. It is known for its poverty and in many cases it is considered to be the hell on Earth.

It is as though the China of today has absolutely nothing to do with the old China, nothing, even though it's obvious something happened along the way.

The question is, what happened?

Also Chinese history thread I guess.

And it's no hell on earth, my friend. You should have seen it 30 years ago. China is considerably richer now than it would have been under democracy. You only need to look at India to see how that one would've played out.
