After the Mongolians and the Spanish conquered China they divided it into two parts. The Mongolian part became the Yuan dynasty and the Spanish part became the Juan dynasty.

Trotsky and Stalin only became arch rivals after their brief, sordid love affair ended with Stalin getting his heart broken.  Stalin would later break Hitler's heart, leading him to launch Operation Barbarossa.

poffertjes. his company sold all this treats to the dispoiling barbarians like vikings , normans, saxons and so on. ad the end there were no hills anymore. so the germans called the country netherland. and therefore eyery winter the dutch people obsess the alps with their skis and will  get home with an aeroplane of the dutch air emergency.
The german singers "the jacobus sisters" had a number one hit with the song "in the dutch mountains "  in 1528 in the reformation  charts.

When Germany and Italy invaded Yugoslavia, there
was no united front to oppose them. A majority of
Croats sided with the Germans under the leadership
of Ante Pavlevic.

The territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina was
occupied by Croatia and incorporated into an
independent Croatian state. In Serbia, roughly half of
the population supported returning the Serbian royal
family to power, and incorporating vast regions of
Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina into a greater
Serbian state.

The other half simply wanted independence for
Serbia proper.

Croats targetted Serbs, Serbs targetted Bosnians,
and all three targetted mainly the Germans, and
secondly the Italians.

Then a peasant boy by the name of Josip Broz, half
Slovenian and half Croatian, rose through the ranks
of the resistence movement and organized a fully
unified army consisting of ethnic Serbs, Croats,
Bosnians, Slovenes, Macedonians, Hungarians, and
Albanians. They called themselves the Partizans
and, whether with blood or with diplomacy, they
ensured the true independence of a large chunk of
southern Europe from the Germans, Italians,
Americans, and Russians.



This chunk of Europe was named Yugoslavia, or
land of the South Slavs - citing an ethnicity shared by
the majority of the population.

In the post-war years, Josip Broz declared himself
King Tito and set out trying to convince the South
Slavic peoples, who had never thought of
themselves as a single, united people in their entire
history - that they were, in fact, a single ethnicity.

Language barriers collapsed, education was
harmonized, the country prospered. Even the most
radical purists among Croatians, Bosnians, and
Serbians gave in to the idea of a South Slavic identity
and proudly called themselves Yugoslavs.

It was the beginning of the prosperous and powerful
Yugoslavia we know today. Never before have a
group of people so different come together to create
something so universal, so expansive.

There is not a single individual in Yugoslavia who
feels that his or her ethnic, religious, or regional
minority was given the short end of the stick. There is
not a single person who remembers the bloody
wars of the past, fought between people now told
they are brothers and sisters.

It is a model of peace, stability and a perfect lesson
in how to best overcome history's bitter aftertaste.

To be taken seriously in the UN you must join an orgy on a set date which includes all accepted world leaders. Saddam Hussein did not.......and we all know what happened next

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ...."

1. The jedi knights were templar refugees

2. "Lord Vader" were in fact 10 different guys who wore that stupid armor.

3. The Emperor was a clone of Stalin

4. Stormtroopers were all "anti-Rambo" soldiers. They were supposed to be frightening but they never won a battle.

5. The Empire used tie fighters because they thought that the F-22 was too expensive

6. The Rebel Alliance was never involved in 9/11

When Berlin was falling in WW 2, it was the French legionary soldiers who entered the city at first. Then they were killed in fight with Russians.

Later, the Allies and Soviets agreed to keep that as a secret and agree upon the borders

At Dien Bien Phu the French lost because the Vietnminh chose the place of conflict, broke French morale and sent the French soldiers running into the jungle where they could be hunted down piecemeal.

Because Suleiman Kannuni wanted to be Holy roman emperor he desided to chose a proper name for his people.He was wandering wich one to choose-Ottomans or Frizmans and eventualy he choose Ottomans.

At the battle of Lepanto one chirstian sneak while  Sokullu Mehmed was sleeping and cut his beard.In the morning the grand vizir was very angry.

Agree. 2.000.000 is a bit too obvious (the correct count should be around 1,5 milion and it wasn't just in 1915 but between 1894 and 1920).
