>800,000 Muslims

Baghdad was an inside job


Mongolian arrows can't melt sand walls

its the other way around user, 40k emulates human history, other than the old new wave sci fi thats where GW gets most of its stuff from, all human history is one big 40k moment, a long, grimdark, hopeles, continuous defeat, and the empire never ends

well, if we use Hobbes logic, Humans are inherently evil, so all evil treatment is thus deserved

no, all 'evil' treatment is thus inherently inevitable and generaly unavoidable

>Having crushed the Bulgarians, Basil exerted his vengeance by cruelty - he was said to have captured 15,000 prisoners and blinded 99 of every 100 men, leaving one one-eyed man in each cohort to lead the rest back to their ruler. Samuel was physically struck down by the dreadful apparition of his blinded army and died two days later, on 6 October 1014, after suffering a stroke. Although the mistreatment of the Bulgarian prisoners may have been exaggerated, this incident helped give rise to Basil's Greek epithet of Boulgaroktonos, meaning "the Bulgar-slayer", in later tradition.[29][30]

Emperor Samuel, I'm SPQR.

...really made the romans think etc. etc....

Moscow plague riot

The grimmest aspects of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, like the Black Plague and the Wars of Religion, makes Warhammer Fantasy look like alt-history.

BIG style fuckups

Nanking Massacre, easily

On December 13, about 30 soldiers came to a Chinese house at #5 Hsing Lu Koo in the southeastern part of Nanking, and demanded entrance. The door was open by the landlord, a Mohammedan named Ha. They killed him immediately with a revolver and also Mrs. Ha, who knelt before them after Ha's death, begging them not to kill anyone else. Mrs. Ha asked them why they killed her husband and they shot her. Mrs. Hsia was dragged out from under a table in the guest hall where she had tried to hide with her 1 year old baby. After being stripped and raped by one or more men, she was bayoneted in the chest, and then had a bottle thrust into her vagina. The baby was killed with a bayonet. Some soldiers then went to the next room, where Mrs. Hsia's parents, aged 76 and 74, and her two daughters aged 16 and 14 [were]. They were about to rape the girls when the grandmother tried to protect them. The soldiers killed her with a revolver. The grandfather grasped the body of his wife and was killed. The two girls were then stripped, the elder being raped by 2–3 men, and the younger by 3. The older girl was stabbed afterwards and a cane was rammed in her vagina. The younger girl was bayoneted also but was spared the horrible treatment that had been meted out to her sister and mother. The soldiers then bayoneted another sister of between 7–8, who was also in the room. The last murders in the house were of Ha's two children, aged 4 and 2 respectively. The older was bayoneted and the younger split down through the head with a sword.[62]

t-thanks japan


t-t-truly o-our.... greatest ally in Asia...

perfidious nippon strikes again

Seriously, never trusting Japan with anything ever again

>Muh bushido

I mean, I'm not saying whites don't do horrible shit to each other but the complete disregard for human life in most of Asia's history is frightening.

There was these Roman emperor who was literally an Slaneeshi daemonette and only wanted to have his/her boipucci smashed all day long

Can we talk about Conan?

>history
It aint history buddy, its still the same

We should have a daily thread on /tv/ about when arnold is going to do his last conan movie.

ogedei sacked baghdad not genghis

>Mohammedan named Ha
wtf i love nips now

>7 million ukranian people starve to death

>no one knows about it and the only people who do are neo-nazi retards who use this tragedy as some propaganda tool and blame it all on jews

theres something really sinister about that whole event and the way the only people who give a shit about it really dont care about it at all

Actually Genghis is Doombreed, Khorne's first daemon prince.
It was Hulegu, and during the reign of Mongke. Ogedei was already dead for close to 20 years before the siege.

Do you care about every single massacre throughout history? Like it or not, the Ukraine is pretty fucking irrelevant to most of the West.

The Jewish Roman wars.

Which culminated in the creation of an entire religion centered around the ultimate man who dindu nuffin: Yeshua The Nazarene.

Such wacky times to be.

The 30 Years War and the 2nd Congo war feelmlike something dreamt up by an edgy teenager
