he said happened not made up

>The Drevlians wanted Olga to marry their Prince Mal, making him the ruler of Kievan Rus, but Olga was determined to remain in power and preserve it for her son. The Drevlians sent twenty of their best men to persuade Olga to marry their Prince Mal and give up her rule of Kievan Rus. She had them buried alive.

>Then she sent word to Prince Mal that she accepted the proposal, but required their most distinguished men to accompany her on the journey in order for her people to accept the offer of marriage. The Drevlians sent their best men who governed their land. After they entered, she locked the doors and set fire to the building, burning them alive.

damn nigga

Eh, watch this.

Khalid bin al walid's whole life is a tale of badassery. He's responsible for the Arabs exploding out of Arabis, starting the Islamic conquests.

Who doesn't?

The Romans and Persians

Holy shit, how

The aragonese king was on the front line and revealed his identity despite being engaged and isolated, so the french killed him and the rest of the army fled.

WW2

The fact that dinosaurs existed is pretty cool in itself.

Sr71 titanium research

Battle of midway

That post ww1 seriel killer that stalked a farmhouse and slaughtered everybody, even the baby

Those numbers are exaggerated firstly. It was probably a relativally even battle, and the french crusaders had way better equipment.

The Battle of the Catalaunian Fields is the coolest thing that happened in the ancient world for sure

Flavius "Gigga Nigga" Aetius teaming up with his old enemies the Visigoths against his old friends the Huns for the sake of the Empire

The list of Commanders is a veritable Who's Who? of the mid 5th century. Fucking everyone was there. It was pretty crazy when you think about it.

This user is lying. From 412ad to 1000 ad, history didnt exist and nothing was happening. The visigoths never fought alongsude rome after the death of theodosius flavious.

>History experts

You're in the wrong place, friendo.

Any recommendations for reading up on the Ottoman Empire? My knowledge doesn't go much beyond what I was taught in school, which was basically "they were in WW1 and had janissaries and stuff."

The Polish hussars charging into the Ottomans outside Vienna and relieving the city was so cool that Tolkien took inspiration from it for the ride of the Rohirrim..

Osman's dream by Caroline Finkel

It's entry level and cover a complete chronological history of the Ottoman empire from the very beginning of the beylids to WW1.

The Ottoman siege of Constantenople where the Ottomans used cannons and were able to drag ships from one sea, over a large hill and back into a water facing the city walls, which these ships fired their cannons at

The Mexican Revolution is hands-down the coolest event and is about to happen in the United Statea

Americas rise to world hegemony and the incredible fucking asshurt it has caused. Trolling is a art, and murrika is a fucking master.

Texas becomes it's own thing

What do people always list her as some super cool badass? She was a lying, bloodthirsty, genocidal murderer and her inclusion as a Saint shows how much of a farce the church is that they think that Jesus would welcome someone like her into heaven.

kek.
>1 muslim warrior = ten hindu warriors

the french revolution

Bullshit. The Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs.
