Why would you learn German?
The only people who speak it don't promote its spread, and willingly adopt foreign languages.
They don't create good movies, books or music. They have no important philosopher other than the past, already well translated ones.

Nah, they just have an unjustified superiority complex. Unfortunately their neighbor Bulgarians, Greeks, and Albanians also have giant superiority complexes, and their other neighbors Macedonians and Croats have giant inferiority complexes, so everyone clashes with each other, gets pissed off at everyone else and eventually goes on killing rampages. Thus, the Balkans.

My mom is a Catholic but she's going to Protestant church recently because her younger friend goes there and recommended it to her because the pastor's a cool guy or something. I joked about how if she was living in 16th century she would be burned alive and she says 'we believe in the same god anyways'. Is this normal?

(Also I tried to go there as well because of possibilities of making friends despite not being religious at all but apparently I have to listen to creationist bullshit during newcomer session so kinda lost interest)

Traditionally Catholics were not supposed to go to protestant services and if they had to they were not suppose to take part.

While that isn't enforced anymore the Catholic church does not consider a protestant service a suitable substitute for Catholic mass.

Cholas 848AD.png
13KB, 344x208px
This thread will focus on the the Latter Cholas also called the Post Sangam Cholas or the Imperial Cholas, their rise, their wars, triumphs and the inevitable fall, its like pottery.

Though their origin lying with the Sangam Era Cholas (dated to between 300 BC to 300 AD) is debatable, but there seems to be some form of connection as they were based around the areas considered the heartland of the Sangam Cholas consisting of what are the districts of Chidambaram(Chi-dum-ba-rum), Mayiladuturai (Mayil-Aadu-Turai), Pudukkottai(Pooh-dhu-koh-tie) and Tiruchy in modern Tamil Nadu their Capital was Uraiyur situated at the banks of the Kaveri.

Now the situation Cholas found themselves in early 9th Century was the same as the past 300 years of being interchangeable vassals and tributaries of the more powerful Pallavas of Kanchipuram to the north and the Pandyas of Madurai to the south.

The Pandyas and Pallavas were rivals who would often war with each other and Cholas were the buffer state the two powers often allying themselves with one or the other depending on the political situation and military success. During the 9th Century the war became especially costly for the Cholas as the borders of the two kingdoms changed along the banks of the Kaveri.

Into this tumultuous time the monarch of the Cholas named Vijayalaya ascended the throne in Uraiyur, and by all accounts he was an extremely ambitious and often seen as heralding the beginning of the near inexorable rise of the Cholas.

During 848 AD another costly war was being fought by the Pandyas and Pallavas, seeing his opportunity Vijayalaya gathered his forces and prepared them to attack. In a striking campaign he took Tanjavur(Tanjore) and the surrounding area shocking the Pandyan King Varagunavarman II who had just subdued the Pallavas.

Varagunavarman and his forces were exhausted from their northern wars tasked his newest subordinate, the Pallava King Nandivarman, to defeat the Cholas.

Now the political situation in the south was to say the least, EXTREMELY complex and shady, the sources are more clear the later the date, so the early rise of the Cholas is mostly derived of temple inscriptions and Hero Stones (Virakal) that described victories and deeds.

The ownership of Thanjavur prior to Chola subjugation is apparently with the Pandyan tribe of the Muttaraiyar, apparently there was a war in 852 AD when the Cholas captured Thanjavur and deposed Sattan Paliyilli the Muttaraiyar king of the city. Apparently this was due to the Cholas being vassals to the Pallavas and the Muttaraiyan a Pandyan feudatory.

Either way this marked the rise of the Cholas as a serious power in the south and the fact made the Pandyan king Srimara Srivallabha extremely uncomfortable as he was campaigning in Sri Lanka. He ordered his subordinate Pallava King Nandivarman II(846-869 AD) to attack the Cholas, but this was not heeded. Apparently this led to the Cholas becoming more brazen in their attacks against other Pandyan feudatories.

The Cholas under Vijayalaya grew ever bolder as the Pallavas allowed them to retain the lands conquered and grew their armies. During this time, the Pandyas withdrew from Sri Lanka and tried to concentrate their efforts in the North against the Pallavas and their resurgent allies, the Cholas.

Srimara Srivallabha gathered his forces and went north to challenge the Pallavas, but in the south in Sri Lanka, the political situation had changed.

You see Srimara Srivallabha had led the Pandyas in Sri Lanka and defeated the then ruler Sena I According to the Pali text Culavamsa "the great army of the Pandyan king swept over the large crowd of Sinhala soldiers and crushed them, moving like Mara's army. And the Sinhala king, hearing that his army had surrendered, took up all his portable wealth and fled the city, heading toward the mountains." Culavamsa 50.19-20.

While campaigning against the Pallavas in 862 Sena the Second, son of Sena I launched a daring attack on the Pandyan Capital Madurai, which was largely undefended due to the forces being recalled north was sacked.

While in the north the Srimara Srivallabha's army was faced by a massive confederate army of Cholas and Pallavas. The news of the sacking of Madurai badly affected the morale of the Pandyan troops and they were decisively defeated at Arisil.The Pandyan army retreated in disorder as their king was wounded, and he later died of his wounds in 862. (Dictionary of Battles and Sieges)

While in the south Sena II installed a king of his own choice named Varagunavarman II 862, but by this time it was certain that Pandyan power was on the decline and the Pallavas were on the rise along with their allies Cholas.

Cholas were now slowly becoming propserous and were training and expanding their armed forces, veteran captains were apparently given land in and around the rich Thanjavur area and the fertile land at the banks of the Kaveri were cleared for massive irrigation and farming projects to enrich the population.

in my cursory reading of US history I have concluded that the irish were the black people of the 19th century. crime, rioting, living in cities and such. now the irish are upstanding citizens; I expect the same will happen to african american soon.

WASP's eventually realized the Irish were white and the Irish blended in with the rest of white America. This will never happen to blacks because they are in fact not white.

It will be eventually. If they stick to their guns. Actually and figuratively both, actually: their economy is still trying to rebound but if they can get their population up and unify the tribes of people there into a unified "state" like Prussia strove towards for so long them will shine.

If you have not read this, do so. It's not 100% true, but it gives some neat moments and places to research on your own.
