The Scientific Revolution, obviously.

Industrial Revolution and Opium Wars

Watch River Elegy. tl;dr China was basically the supreme agricultural-based civilization, which pretty much all big civilizations back then before the industrial revolution. At the same time, however, it's also a curse as the Chinese were really proud of it so much and were reluctant to change from it, and consequently lacked behind (even from India in a few decades).

Gross number of users is an irrelevant metric considering mandaring wipes the floor with English yet it's a completely worthless language on an international level.

>In Which Year Did English Become The International Language?

1860

It shifted from English to French around WW2.

Not accurate in the least. Tactics, equipment, all wrong. It looked great which honestly is all that should matter in a movie.

Was there any emperor retarded enough to entertain the idea of returning Rome to a republic?

>>3058561
Probably they all entertained it at one point or another. Most likely just before they were assassinated

>By the late 19th century Chinese domestic opium production challenged and then surpassed imports. The 20th century opened with effective campaigns to suppress domestic farming, and in 1907 the British government signed a treaty to eliminate imports. The fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911, however, led to a resurgence in domestic production. By the 1930s the Nationalist Government, provincial governments, the revolutionary bases of the Communist Party of China, and the British colonial government of Hong Kong all depended on opium taxes as major sources of revenue, as did the Japanese occupation governments during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). After 1949 the respective governments of the People's Republic of China on the mainland and of the Republic of China on Taiwan successfully suppressed the widespread growth and use of opium.[7][8]

They killed anyone who was found with opium. Smugglers, dealers, users, all eccuted if they found opium on them.

This is the part I'm wondering about. How? How so quickly? Why do the commies get no praise for eradicating opium use?

Probably the US or Russia, being that we both have a lot of interceptors, surface to air missiles, and nuclear warheads.

Special mention goes to China on the off chance the old "drown them in corpses" maneuver works against aliens.

> implying aliens would resort to barbaric military means for such a simple task of conquest

Nazi Germany/70s Soviet Union/North Korea
NG-Total war economy but shit tech for air-to-air combat
SU-Best chance through a combination of huge military and solid tech air-to-air.They had some great SPAAGs as well.
NK-It's a fortress nation.They could probably hide and Vietnam those Martians until the Will Smith manages to fly a nuke into the mothership.
