“But it makes sense right? My argument totally made sense!” “Sigh… get over it man, it’s not gonna change anything.” “Come on dude! I totally was beating her in the argument. The Chinese are gonna take over the world! They’re gonna beat us in a cultural victory like in Civ 5! First the Mongols invaded China, and after Genghis Khan died, then Kublai Khan was the one that took over the Chinese territory. But do you know what the Chinese did? They turned Kublai CHINESE! They fed him Chinese food, gave him Chinese clothes and even gave him a Chinese wife! All of his Mongol descendants that were in China are now Chinese!” “But it still doesn’t change the fact that the United States has the strongest military in the world.

I don’t know the name of The Empire. People around literally only say, “For The Empire.” This really confused me. But I was obviously able to deduce that this place is probably not a republic like the U.S. But then again, these people in this world probably have no idea what a republic is. The Empire was very much how I would imagine an ancient Asian empire to look like. Not that I know what they actually looked like, but from my experience of looking outside the window of our manor or the rare occasion of getting my mother to take me outside for a stroll, let me see that it was a very Asian type of environment that I was now living in. The Empire was established by the Hanwu Tribe, they’re a group of fierce warriors that first defeated their neighboring tribes and then took everyone by surprise by declaring war on their larger neighbor the Shinwu Kingdom. Whom the tribes normally paid tribute to. No one took them seriously and treated them as a joke. And that was their biggest mistake. Because in one year they conquered the Shinwu Kingdom and conquered five more neighboring kingdoms and became the largest country in the known world. Battle after battle. They proved themselves to be the greatest warriors in the continent riding their wurks into battle. A wurk is apparently the equivalent of a horse in this world. Except these strange creatures are longer, faster and are reptiles. So they basically rode giant fucking lizards into

    During the 13th century, a group of pastoralists would band up to form The Mongol Empire. The Mongols were based in Central Asia and spread fear all over by overwhelming their enemies. They would conquer enough to be the largest empire known to mad.

  • China's Last Empire William Rowe Summary

    By tracing trends across the Qing’s illustrious history, it allows the reader to better grasp the revisionist interpretation that he posits, instead of simplistically allocating the award of most influential factor of leading to China’s modernisation as well as the Qing’s fall to the Western powers. It is notable, however, to observe that, despite his revisionist view, Rowe still titles his book China’s Last Empire. The Great Qing. By using the term ‘last’, Rowe seems to still be close to the implicit narrative of China’s ‘failure’ as seen in other orthodox interpretations such as Frederic Wakeman’s ‘The Fall of Imperial China. Despite this seeming setback however, Rowe’s book is extremely useful in exploring the binary of historiography and history, while elaborating immensely on the Qing’s

    Often when one is prompted to think of an empire, the Roman Empire comes to mind. The Romans started from a small piece of land along the Tiber River in central Italy, and within a millenia amassed an unprecedented territory comprising of parts of all 3 known continents of the ‘old world’ and dozens of countries, peoples, cultures, and languages. This massive empire certainly had a large impact on its peoples during its power; however, even today one may find the massive impact of the Roman empire in various languages, governments, and religions all over the globe. Language is one of the most important aspects of a culture. Language dictates how and what people literally and figuratively speak to one another.
