So how rape happy was good ol' Temüjin?

There's plenty of stories of his soldiers committing war rape. But hardly anything on Mr. Khan having rapey hands (at least so few that I can find). I know that when they conquered a village or tribe, he would have most (if not all) the men killed, leaving him to be virtually the only partner available for sexy-times. Obviously they submitted willingly because of this. Yet I keep wondering if he ever forced himself onto some of the women. I'm not finding much to suggest whether this happened or not. But it does certainly fit with his character. And the idea that not one of them put up a fight seems implausible.

There's some circumstantial evidence that even his sons weren't actually his. It's possible that "something" might have happen to him while he was captured.
>>
>>1520635

Everyone raped the losers wifes, that was the main part of fighting a war, why risk your life and fighting in the mud against people with pointy sticks with your own pointy stick and possibly die a slow and painfull death if you can't fuck the losers wife and daughter if you win?

I don't think rape existed as a concept back then as it does today.

Humanity has just made first contact with aliens. The aliens need to decide if they wish to become our allies, or enemies. We, as a Humanity has made first contact. The aliens need to decide if they wish to become our allies, or enemies. We, as a species need to choose one person living or dead (we have the tech to bring them back) to send as humanity's representative to negotiate peace, or to intimidate them enough so they flee home. Who do you choose? To make war or peace? and why?

Was the sack of Baghdad in 1258 led by Hulagu that ended the Abbasid Caliphate really that bad to begin with for the islamic world?

highly over rated by pop-Historians and reddit. Yes it was devastating, but it wasn't the beginning of the end for Islamic civilization. People seem to forget the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals all had their zenith well after the Mongol invasions. Also the many great dynatsties that arose from Islamic Mongols.

Arabs specifically, though were permanently fucked after that though given that no dynasty of Arab origin ever arose afterwards with anywhere near level of prestige and power as the Caliphates

>>1520394
It's usually used as a deflection against "Islam is inherently violent" -- the Mongols shot first, etc.

All it did was really shift the focal point of the Islamic world from Baghdad to Al-Andalus and India -- at least until the Ottomans took Constantinople,

It's was similar to that same trigger point being the birth of the renaissance. Huge shifts of intellectual output and cultural dominance.

Doomed from the start.

If art/philosophy can both be influenced by science and they can both influence religion, but science and religion must not influence each other, then you'll invariably end up with all sorts of weird contradictions.

When did the Marian devotions begin, especially amongst the Roman Catholic Church?

Marian events such as the Assumption, Coronation as Queen of Heaven, recitation of the Rosary, and designation as Mediatrix; when and why did all of these develop in the Church?

These things were apparent from nearly the very beginning. They developed because they were believed by a substantial number of people.

Frankly, they were always pricks.

So were all of their neighbors.

The idea of Israel going from being the underdog to being an abusive hegemon ignores how crap their behavior was when they were still an underdog.

Palestinians deserve it though.

The State of Israel is not the abusive child, it was the abusive parent all along

Would you agree with this statement?

There have been 5 "world wars".

1. Napoleonic Wars
2. World War 1
3. World War 2
4. Cold War
5. War on Terror
