Tamerlane was set to invade China actually. But he thankfully died.

Dunno if he'd be successful. Because if he did he'd be facing Yongle, who was a military genius in his own right and was actually wrecking the shit out of the Mongs.

To be fair Tamrlane fucked a lot of things up before dying.

I think it was a result of fairy tales going from brutal cautionary tales to fetishistic escapism for children and/or little girls.

You would be amazed if you knew how many fairy tales have hidden sexual connotations.

To some extent, yes. But mostly no.

Those online articles tend to take the "Grittiest" version of a fairy tale and use it to imply Disney and/or parents sanitized them. But Aschenputtel is not The Little Glass Slipper, The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood is not Sun Moon and Talia, etc. So when an article brags about how Disney sanitized Cinderella because the stepsisters don't get their eyes pecked out, or because Sleeping Beauty wasn't raped, well... neither of those Disney films were based on those fairy tales.

The only Disney film based directly on a Grimm fairy tale was Snow White, which was altered. Instead of the piece of cursed apple being dislodged from Snow White's throat (because she was slapped by a servant tired of carrying her dead ass around in 1812, in later editions because the servant tripped on the way to the king's castle) it's true love that wakes her; instead of the queen showing up at the wedding and dancing to death in hot iron shoes, she falls off the cliff.

The Grimm brothers sanitized their own fairy tales, also. For example, in their first published version of Rapunzel, the witch finds out because Rapunzel's stomach swells and her clothes no longer fit aka the entire time the prince and Rapunzel had been fucking. In their edited version, Gothel finds out because Rapunzel asks "why are you so much harder to pull up than my prince, Frau Gothel?" In the Frog Prince, the just-turned-back-into-a-prince frog and the princess fuck on the bed she flung him on, whereas in the later edition they get married. in the original Snow White, it's Snow White's own mother who tries to kill her, and in the revised edition it's her stepmother. And so on.

Their original collection of fairy tales published in 1812 was meant to be a collection of folk and fairy tales, as-is. Then the book became popular with parents and they complained about the violence, sex and brutality, so the Grimm brothers complied and edited them down for younger audiences.

The "state" known as the Holy Roman Empire wasn't holy, nor Roman, nor an empire. It was a confederation of German principalities with completely autonomous leaders ostensibly under an emperor but the emperors were just as powerful and politically relevant as Queen Elizabeth, and their empire was the was a lot like the EU, only even less centralized and ineffective in the policies of the actual polities that existed within it.

Idiots who haven't even read Voltaire misquote him on his opinion of the late HRE.

It's actually pretty authentic if you consider early Islamic sources to be true.

Yes, some poetic license is taken like the scene in which Abdullah bin Ubay and Abu Sufyan meet and plan together to destabilize Medina while in reality Abdullah bin Ubay and Abu Sufyan had different goals. Abdullah wanted to be the Amir of Medina while Abu Sufyan wanted to finish Islam and keep his tribe's honour alive

Nice to see Arabs using straight swords for once.

>>1121833
The curved blades only appeared after the Mamluk takeover of Egypt IIRC, early to mid 14th century. Their blades were straight when they were crossing them with the Crusaders

Literal memesters.

There's always a schism from orthodox churches once in a while. See the Gnostics, Cathars, Unification Church etc.

>social and class inevitability is a thing

Marx please fuck off and never return.

I don't remember any of those spreading like wild fire and gobbling up half continents.
The Reformation was rather different to what that came before it.

France.

San Marino, or it at least behaved like one.

Better question OP, why is Westphalia seen as the first modern sovereign state when it answered to the Holy Roman Empire?

Nobody gave a shit about the hippies, not even Dylan or Hendrix, it's mostly a meme. Fuck, even Thompson realized hippies were useless by '72

>>1118787
Hippies were merely an initiation by Free Masons to try and usher into an attitude of counter-culture to destroy the Templar's Global Elite influence. It failed though so now they're doing it through Modern Liberalism
