-.5% of the people are related to genghis khan!

-the English come from german tribes!
which means americans are part english and germans, plus the viking raids and the romans that already lived their

-long time ago when white romans ruled what is today spain, were attacked by dark muslims from morroco, combining their color, then hundreds of years later, they conquered aztecs and mayans, which resulted in mexicans!!

-in colonial times, england controled the 13 colonies, india, australia, much of south africa, some asian countries, and some latin american countries

-during the hundred year war, england gained most if not all of france, and the french were forced to sign a treaty(Treaty of troyes) that kept peace as long as the king of england controlled both lands, shortly after the treaty the king of england had a baby, and a couple months later the king of england died, giving the couple months old baby full control of two powerful nations!!!

-both egyptians and aztecs/mayans thought of the contruction of pyramids, with no contact with each other!!!!

-people today still think the world is flat!!!

-george washington lost more battles than he won

-while mozart was just a infant of age 6, and playing like a pro, beethoven at his 20's lived in his shadows

-beethoven create the song ode to joy while being deaf!!!

-Roman punishement- romans would create a metal/bronze hallow bull, placed a person inside of it, and would start burning is from the bottom, with two spacial nostrils, instead of screams, the people heard a pleasant sound

-the founding fathers thought religion was a joke!!!!!!!

if you want you can put in your own facts......

1) Wrong. 0.5% of people are related to the Mongols, not Genghis Khan himself.

1) Again, wrong. Morden England was started by Dutch trides which came over and mixed with north Frence tribes, among others. That's a common mistake.

[Grayson]

i've got one for you that I heard over on RevCast that I thought was intresting, and it actually has to do with the game:

when the Zulu fought the Europeans, it was usually with spears. But anytime they would defeat a European force, they would drop their spears and steal the guns. That's why in the modern era they get 1/2 cost riflemen.

[Cymru]

The 'origin' of the British depends on how far back you go. The latest genetic analysis suggests that soon after the glacial retreat Western Britain was settled by people closely related to the modern Basques and the Eastern part were settled by Scandinavians. Later influx came from various parts of Northern Europe, including what are now Germany, the Netherlands, and France.

-the secretary of licoln was named kennedy, and the secretary of kennedy was named lincoln!!!! plus both were shot

-hitler actually wanted to be an artist, he's stepdad left him and his mom died later on, but the art academy rejected him various times, (he noticed most of the better artist were jews!!!!! so joined the politics

-hitler and mussolini both gained power legally!!!

-its in the japanese constitution to never start a war, they can defend, plus they have the united states help

-the vikings were the first to discover america never knowing what they had discovered

-more than 70% of french electrical power comes directly from nuclear plants

-abraham lincoln was friends with Benito juarez(Mexicos president) and during the civil war, the confedarates asked mexico to help them during the war, they refused!!!

-if hitler had never attacked russia and japan had never attacked pearl harbor, the war would of never had the u.s or russia, plus france was already captured, great britain would of loss, and today it be a way different way!!!!!

-shamely in hundred year war, the french had a combination of 30,000 elite knights, crossbow archers, and soldiers on foot, against 5000 90% english longbow archers, and lost, as the war started one longbow archer shot a french and the french got mad, so they rushed all their elite knights forward, buuuuuuuuuuttt, their was mud on the floor and pretty much all horses fell down, also for every 7 shots a longbow shot, a french crossbow shot only 1, and well the rest were killed easily.................

[danthechan]

in 1350 edward the black prince of england, after pillaging his way thru france, was cornered by france's king john and an army 50,000 strong. the black prince's forces numbered only 7500, but given a respite on sunday devised such a defense that he routed france's army and took the king as hostage back to london. it is living proof that sometimes a single warrior beats a horse army. :confused:

Yes. Why is this a suprise? Just becasue they start wars, asbused half of their people and did other atrosatics does not mean they came to power bu force of arms.

**-its in the japanese constitution to never start a war, they can defend, plus they have the united states help**
Makes sence. The Japanese are a democray now and a major ally of the United States and other Western nations.

You mean Britain. OK. I can see what you mean. Hitler breaking the peace with the USSR was said to be one of the worse miltary choices in modern history. Still, America would have been attack by Japan so they would have entered the war anyay, and even if you count that out, America may have been pressured to join. And even if they didn't, there was still Canada, Austalia, Zew Zeland and South Africa who most likely would have joined.

True. But it was an uneasy alliance. Unlike Hitler, Mussolini was not as popular, so his riegn was gonna fall apart in the end.

The Commonwealth countries automatically joined as soon as the UK did.

[The Panguin]

For the record all of the British Empire (Now the commonwealth of nations) was in the war before 1940. =) Which is more then a year before the US even began sending supplies to the Allies...let alone joined in outright. =) So to firesplicer who said "even if they [the US] didn't [join], there was still Canada, Austalia, Zew Zeland and South Africa who most likely would have joined." you should get your facts straight! =P We were united before American involvement and would of been even if you hadn't joined. =P Back then the Canadians were elite troops too. >_> Essential in WW1! WW1 the US was almost exclusively moral support, with their first real battle being in September 1918 and they suffered over 100 000 casualties of their 605 000 troops..almost as many troops as Canada had in its entirety. xD

So in ww2 the US were needed but they weren't what some super soldiers that convinced other nations to join! =) Now the roles have reversed though. xD Now you guys are always the first into the war (instead of the last =P) and everyone else slowlyyyy follows your lead. ;D

[Hellogoodbye123]

atleast we know the war would of surely ended up way different, i mean russia and u.s were superpowers by the end of ww2

The only thing super about America in 1944 was that they had plenty of uranium and created the atomic bomb throughout the Manhatten Project. Without that they would of never been able to take Japan on in Japan it would of been Vietnam all over again.

The Reason Germany couldn't break down the UK is because we were an island with the best Airforce in the world. Not to mention the thousands of brave men and paratroopers that invaded Normandy.

Not true! They had already crushed Japan before the atomic bomb. It was unnecessary to do, Japan was ready to concede defeat before that. Maybe they wouldn't had been able to invade Japan but they had already destroyed any possible threat.

my history teacher said that americans didnt want to attack japan in their mainland, because japanese would do anything to win, for example "Kamikaze" and that for the japanese it was an honor to fight for their country, and that dieying wasnt an importance to them:eek:

Don't you mean that Vietnam would have been Japan all over again? Did someone forget that 1940's comes before 1960-70's? But I see what you mean. I was just confused for a second

[Woolgatherer]

Here's a funny/gruesome fact I just saw on the History channel. In the time of beheading executions in England, there was a woman(minor royalty, can't remember the name) whose head didn't want to cooperate. When the first swing didn't kill her, she jumped up and ran, and the executioner had to chase her down, eventually taking ELEVEN strokes to get the job done! Apparently, beheadings were reserved for people of importance, while most were just hung. Ask me, I'll take the hanging anytime :)

depends if they did it right and broke your neck, or if you had to hang there doing the chicken dance for 5 minutes.

It was more like 4000 spartans and 15000 Persians...
The tactics were basically a mountain fortress...
Jeez...

Now let's all shut up about history.

[tsizzle]

What do you think the movie 300 was made for?

Of course there were 300 spartans at that battle, but if you are talking in general that might be right.

a joke and a lot of money.

and there was more than just the 300 spartans (which was only after the actual army that fought for 3 days left, even then, there was more than just the spartans there)

[Woolgatherer]

Was just browsing the civilopedia and came across this nugget, lol, sorry hellogoodbye...

Andre Maginot was a french politician and soldier who was the primary advocate after WW1 of a long series of fortifications across the north of France to protect against another German attack. The Maginot Line, as it came to be named, was one of the most complex fortifications of the modern era and, in the end, completely useless. In WW2, the Germans, deploying tanks faster and more powerful than the world had ever imagined, performed an "end run" through Belgium, easily bypassing the fortifications altogether.



D'oh!

[danthechan]

they are still there in the countryside. a giant monument to wtf? the belgians probably didn't think it was too funny as it forced the germans their way.

[Apasas]

1) Wrong. 0.5% of people are related to the Mongols, not Genghis Khan himself.

1) Again, wrong. Morden England was started by Dutch trides which came over and mixed with north Frence tribes, among others. That's a common mistake.

I'm not sure this is true either. If you look at a genetic map of Europe, most of England (except the East and North East), has the same genetic origin as the rest of the British Isles (Scotland, Wales and Ireland), Brittany in France and the Basque country in Spain.

The exception is the East and North East, which is diluted by genetics of viking origin.

The theory is that most Britons came from the Spanish basque country who passed by Brittany on the way. If this is true it means that the population of nearly all parts of the British Isles has the same genetic background.

The Saxons didn't seem to make a huge imprint on the female genetic origin of Britain, possibly because they sent male soldiers who took on local wives.

In saying that, the Normans, Dutch, Flemish, vikings and Flemish all had an enormous influence on the culture and language of the British Isles.

[Woolgatherer]

Wow, didn't know they still stood. Can't believe they'd want to remember something like that. Made me laugh because I was all ready to give France some credit for advanced thinking, then hit that line about it being useless. Oh well... they've got good culture!

-hitler actually wanted to be an artist, he's stepdad left him and his mom died later on, but the art academy rejected him various times, (he noticed most of the better artist were jews!!!!! so joined the politics

-Roman punishement- romans would create a metal/bronze hallow bull, placed a person inside of it, and would start burning is from the bottom, with two spacial nostrils, instead of screams, the people heard a pleasant sound



False on both of these.

Hitler wanted to become an architect originally, and he s, never had a stepdad (to my knowledge). When Hitler was 13 his father died (Due to the fact that Hiter's father was 51 when he had Hitler), and his mother no too long after.

That Roman Punishment theory is false. The Brazen Bull was invented by Perillos, and was given to (or made for, but whatever) Phalaris the Tyrant, to help him punish criminals. They'd put the victim inside, and light a fire underneath the bull. They had a series of bronze tubing inside the bull, which produced a pleasant sound that Phalaris the Tyrant enjoyed listening to, while his victims burned. Keep in mind though, this didn't cover up the scent of burning flesh, and both men were Greek, no Roman. (The Brazen Bull was actually invented before the Roman Empire was around).

[Kadazzle]

As well, the wars with the Ruskies and the Americans were inevitable. Stalin had already devised a plan to attack Germany, and Hitler knew that. The only reason Hitler attack Russia, was because in a year or two, he knew they'd attack him, because Stalin was no idiot. Hitler had the element of surprise on his side, but sadly he was fighting a two-front war.

The Americans were already shipping supplies to the Brits, so it was only a matter of time before they'd join the war. Everyone knew this. So again, the reason Japan attack was to weaken America's naval fleet by surprise attacking them. If Japan didn't bomb Pearl Harbour, Japan would have surrendered much sooner.

You sure about this? Here's a quote from wiki(not that they're always right):

During Adolf Hitler's childhood, academics were not his strong point. In grade school, Hitler's grades in Mathematics, Science, History, German, and French were adequate at best and this greatly displeased his father, Alois Schickelgruber. However, in the early 1900s Adolf Hitler showed an interest in art and began to excel very quickly. Hitler's average grades were good enough to get him accepted in a university preparatory "gymnasium" or the technical/scientific, Realschule. He chose Realschule because they offered a course in drawing. In 1906, Adolf was permitted to visit Vienna, but he was unable to gain admission to their prestigious art school. None the less, this did not stop him from creating more works of art. Hitler went on to produce many drawings throughout his life. An auction was held on April 23, 2009 for works that Hitler had painted. It was estimated that his paintings would raise $50,000 but to many people's surprise, his paintings generated over $120,000.

100% sure. He may have painted, but he didn't want to become an artist. That's why he designed the Olympic building in Berlin for the.. 1938? Olympics. He wanted to be an architect (He even says so in Mein-Kampf).

[Grayson]

Not to mention my other grandfather, who also fought, but was American-born.

It all depends on what you consider a Barbarian. In my opinion, Atilla the Hun wasn't a Barbarian. His people were very sophisticated, and his "country" was very rich. They were more technologically advanced than the Byzantines, and were the first people to implement an entire army consisting of only Horsemen and Horse Archers.

Really? didn't know that. In the movie, it shows them only knowing war, pulling limbs apart, and obsessed with "sorcery" and "magic".

But they did seem smart and superior.

But in the game, it obviously doesn't matter. Just talking about making the game more historically accurate.

And OBVIOUSLY what I'm saying is that making the game more historically accurate would be nice, instead of fighting some Norte Chico dude. It's WAY TOO CARTONNISH GAME. I'M TIRED OF LISTENING TO RANDOM JIBBERISH OF THE LEADERS TALKING AS WELL.:confused: :rolleyes:

don't use big words like animosity, I don't know what they mean.

Love,(It's back)
tsizzle:cool: ;)

I figured out what animosity means, like a long arguement, dispute, heated rivalry.

Also, did you know that a name "The Elizabethian Age" was given because of the fact that most people think that it was the greatest time of artistic acheivement.

It has now been proven that Marie Antionette, the wife of Louise the sixteenth, did not say "let them eat cake".

She was rumored to say it when her castle was being overrun by angry, hungry women.

wow, how do you catch things like that?

I listen to queen a lot in the car, and I really never noticed that before.

Perhaps it is talking about her.

But that's not where I got it from.

its one of my favorite bands, i used to listen to that song alot...lol

[danthechan]

here's the lyrics
She keeps Moet et Chandon, in her pretty cabinet
Let them eat cake she says, just like Marie Antoinette
A built in remedy, for Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation, you can't decline

Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime, ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation, she spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China, went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally, if you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Drop of a hat she's a willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild..
She's all out to get you

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime, ooh
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try

and here's the explaination
In the New Musical Express November 2, 1974, the song's writer Freddie Mercury elucidates on this song: "It's about a high class call girl. I'm trying to say that classy people can be *****s as well. That's what the song is about, though I'd prefer people to put their interpretation upon it - to read into it what they like."

Well,

my point being:

Marie Antionette did not say let them eat cake.
