Olga of Kiev is a saint for spreading Christianity to Russia

Not him, but typically it's of the culture of the country, be it argentine, venezuelan, chilean, or peruvian. Of course, people who are product of recent migrations (1900+) will identify with their ethnic group, like Italians who came to South America.

Conquistador.

Coming from an Orthodox Christian, you can literally be made a fucking saint for anything. Tsar Nicholas II is a saint even though the only thing he ever did was act like a jackass and get shot for it.
hnnnnggggg would fugg
Retard. Isabella never ordered them to do that kind of shit (even though stories of atrocities against Amerindians are exaggerated at best, outright false at worst). But when you send soldiers who are essentially funding their own expeditions with their loot a thousand miles away from home, of course they're not going to listen to what the fuck you said.
Amerindians deserved it anyways for being barbaric, child-sacrificing fucks.

Spanishfag there. I remember she was in process of being canonized. Dunno how is that proccess going anyway.

They tend to identify with *insert Latin American Country.*

Orthodox saints work weird. Constantine is a saint despite boiling relatives alive.

>stories of atrocities against Amerindians are exaggerated at best, outright false at worst

get off this board. you don't know shit about history. back to your echo chamber you ignorant cunt. git!

They tend to despise both indios and spaniards, if they care at all. Latin american national identities were forged by the criollos who are basically spaniards and other whites born in the americas.

This. Thanks to Isabella there wasn't genocide and slavism in Spanish America. Yes, some conquerers did some crazy shit sometimes, but in general that was forbidden and the ones who killed natives were judged and punished. Charles I and Philip II continued what Isabella started, and native rights were consolidated once again in Valladolid in 1548.

In fact, in American Wars of Independance, the ones who seeked independance were criollos aka spanish descendants, and did that because they wanted power. Natives allied with Spain since the Crown protected their rights.

Currently you can see a huge native base in Mexico and South America since natives were protected in Spanish territories. In other hand, in North America, remaining natives are in special reserves since Britain, France and USA did genocide against them.

I'm hispanic and I admire her desu

>The Nika riots (Greek: Στάσις τοῦ Νίkα Stásis toû Níka), or Nika revolt, took place over the course of a week in Constantinople in AD 532. It was the most violent riot in the history of Constantinople, with nearly half the city being burned or destroyed and tens of thousands of people killed.

>Justinian, in despair, considered fleeing, but his wife Theodora is said to have dissuaded him, saying, "Those who have worn the crown should never survive its loss. Never will I see the day when I am not saluted as empress."[2]

>About thirty thousand rioters were reportedly killed.[4] Justinian also had Hypatius executed and exiled the senators who had supported the riot.

>Theodora
>good
Why do people like her? Is it because she bullied Justinian?

>plebs chimp put and destroy private property
>not in any ruler's interest to stop said savagery to restore rule of law
>maintaining power = power hungry

Well the Greek Orthodox Church doesn't recognise Constantine XI as a saint for his actions while other Orthodox churches see him as one.

I wonder if the Vatican actually gives a shit about the lobby

Well she's still in the process of being canonized...

Depends of who is lobbying.
