Its a cold war axiom.

Since Mainland Asia is pretty much the turf of communist powers at the time.

idk OP

too many competing interests?

Inhospitable terrain outside of urban centers. Willingness of its inhabitants to participate in partisan/guerilla actions.

"We" have been stopping it from happening for 50+ years.

Absolutely no. Two forces (Fascism and Communism) would be coming closer to each other and the conflict would be inevitable.

Sassanid Persians were disgusted by the Greeks' boyfucking habits and used it in simplistic propaganda against them

The Jesuit missions to China encountered Jews who had never heard of Christianity.

The guy was just bored. Guy just wanted to practice statecraft.

Well, it is certainly pretty impressive to outdone Stalin and Mao in deadlines even if you lack in a scale.

>>1700628

Not an argument.

I hope this isn't serious.
To answer your question, they weren't as organized as your standard European nation back then, plus their military was nowhere near that of the European one. Numbers was their only advantage.

The first muslim invasion of the Iberian peninsula was led by a Berber general

>>1700551
Africans invaded europe a bunch of times

>I would say Angkor and Srivijaya were great for its time. Even surpassing their mother civilizations from mainland South Asia in glory and sophistication .
ok.

Khmer Empire existed longer than Ottomans. So they are pretty based.

"No human thing is of serious importance"

sigh...........

Wallace was pretty funny desu. Sucks people only remember him from the civil rights era and forget when he fucked the democrats in the ass during the 1972 primaries.

>>1700300

Wallace was based. Theres that story of some hippy calling him a fascist and he just said "I was killing fascist while you were shitting your diapers"

"I told you so"

Some of the them were pretty good.

Some of them were willing to grab power at the first chance. The Federalists were pretty shitty.

At the end of the day, the constitution is just a piece of paper, and is unable to prevent corruption and evil.

>Were these men as really good and pure as people make them out to be or were they corrupt like anyone else?

You're going to have to be a bit more specific considering you are referring to a great deal of people but the high profile ones that everyone likes to talk about (Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Washington etc.), were products of their time representing different ideals of their time. They were mostly upper-class, idealistic, educated land-owners. While the government they built wasn't completely free of contradiction, (all men are created equal but we stil have slaves) they managed to create a peaceful passing of power, which was a big deal at the time. I'm sure other people can explain this better but i'm tired.

>The Federalists were pretty shitty.
No? The Federalist had plenty of valid reasons. Read The Federalist Papers

unless they reinvented the wheel i doubt it

I disagree.

Sassanian Empire was superior to Rome in all regards. They actually had a sense of morality unlike you barbarians.

>>1699970

Ancient Greece was cool though but fuck Ancient Rome. Bunch of barbarians. Byzantine Empire was cool though.

>>1699944
You don't. They're retarded. The character of Bugs Bunny is even too complex for them to fully appreciate.

& humanities was a mistake

I propose we change /literature/ to /literature & humanities/

>>1699954
How so?

>>1699932
Early Chirstian communities were arguably stricter.

The cynic in me says that its because guilt and fear are an excellent way to keep cult members loyal

>>1699932
You can't earn your way into heaven. That's the fundamental point of Christianity. Even the pope has sinned mortally.

Only Jesus was without sin.

It was busy creating the Indian """""""""nation"""""""" by telling all those independent princely states that they are all "Indian" now apparently.

It has something to do with cannons. I think he used small swivel cannons drawn by horse. This essentially acted mobile artillery that was deployed where ever needed.

Yearts of getting his ass-handed by Poland-Lithuania.

Until he became that good that he could hit back.

When covered in short, volley fire is the main point my professor pointed to.

Good read.
