Does it blow anyone else mind just how incredibly recent in history that mathematics was discovered and invented? And how thanks to math the last 300 years seem more like they may as well have been 3000 years?
But that's wrong, you fucking retard.

I've always thought it a bit weird that despite the KMT really kind of starting in the south, by the time they "win" in the mid-30s their power base is in that Sichuan Hubei-Anhui corridor, and they can't seem to control the south anymore.

Wherer did history start? What is the greatest historical fact iyo (in your opinion)?
>>281047
>Wherer [SIC] did history start?
SINCE HISTORY DOES NOT HAVE A SPATIAL DIMENSION, IT CANNOT BE LOCATED IN A POINT IN SPACE, THEREFORE IT COULD HAVE STARTED ANYWHERE.

Here are some words of great thinkers on Islam
“It is a great shame for any one to listen to the accusation that Islaam is a lie and that Muhammad was a fabricator and a deceiver. We saw that he remained steadfast upon his principles, with firm determination; kind and generous, compassionate, pious, virtuous, with real manhood, hardworking and sincere. Besides all these qualities, he was lenient with others, tolerant, kind, cheerful and praiseworthy and perhaps he would joke and tease his companions. He was just, truthful, smart, pure, magnanimous and present-minded; his face was radiant as if he had lights within him to illuminate the darkest of nights; he was a great man by nature who was not educated in a school nor nurtured by a teacher as he was not in need of any of this.”
-Thomas Carlyle
"Islam, which originated among the Semitic races also consisted of the Law and Tradition, regarded as a formative force, to which the Arab stocks of the origins provided a purer and nobler human material that was shaped by a warrior spirit. The Islamic law (shariah) is a divine law; its foundation, the Koran, is thought of as God’s very own word (kalam Allah) as well as a nonhuman work and an 'uncreated book' that exists in heaven ab eterno."
-Julius Evola

"Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down (—I do not say by what sort of feet—) Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin—because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life!... The crusaders later made war on something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have grovelled in the dust—a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth century seems very poor and very “senile.”—What they wanted, of course, was booty: the orient was rich.... Let us put aside our prejudices! The crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more! The German nobility, which is fundamentally a Viking nobility, was in its element there: the church knew only too well how the German nobility was to be won.... The German noble, always the “Swiss guard” of the church, always in the service of every bad instinct of the church—but well paid.... Consider the fact that it is precisely the aid of German swords and German blood and valour that has enabled the church to carry through its war to the death upon everything noble on earth! "
-Friedrich Nietzsche
"I respect, more than do the Mamluks, God, his prophet Muhammad and the glorious Qur'an... we are true Muslims. Are we not the one who has destroyed the Pope who preached war against Muslims? Did we not destroy the Knights of Malta, because these fanatics believed that God wanted them to make war against the Muslims?”
-Napoleon Bonaparte

What single state (historical or not) can you name that has been independence for the longest? First one that comes to mind is the Republic of Venice that lasted for 1100 years.
>>280586
San Marino?
England?
Denmark?
Sweden?
Ethiopia?
Ethiopia or Egypt. Maybe the Papal States. Or Rome. Depends on what you count as independence.
Ethiopia seems the most promising answer off the top of my head.
