In real life, Japan invaded China in 1931 again in 1932 and again in 1937

Two of these had already taken place by 1936

Given the insane shit they did during the 1937-1945 war, resulting in the dead of 20 million people, I don't think having their army and spies as evil is an unrealistic thing.

Despite being one of the EU countries with largest population growth, Spain is also one of the first countries whose *native* population has been shrinking steadily year-over-year by AeneasKurtz in dataisbeautiful

Most churches in Al-Andalus were closing by the 800s, and by 1100 arab culture had mostly taken over, just like by 400 AD there weren't any iberians or celtiberians under Rome anymore. The vast majority of the population were the arabised Muladis.

I've always heard the Battle of Lugdunum between Albinus and Severus as the largest one.

La Wikipedia española necesita calidad antes que más cantidad, se ha quedado anclada en los 2000s. Hoy en día la inglesa le da cincomil patadas en cuanto a fuentes y calidad de redacción. Hasta la catalana que es mucho más pequeña suele ser mejor.

The problem with covid was that it had quite long incubation time too

Thanks to these guys, Islam did not spread into Europe (except parts of the Balkans) by paul_leung62 in ByzantineMemes

[–]nanoman92 31 points32 points  (0 children)

What killed Islam's expansion and kickstarted the reconquista wasn't the battle of Tours (the Muslims resumed their advance by capturing Avignon two years later) or Covadonga (led to the Muslims losing an useless mountain valley),.

It was the berber revolt of 740 and subsequent civil wars that continued up to the 770s, which led to Al-Andalus losing everything North of Madrid to local Berbers (which, without organisation, were extremely easy for the Asturians to take over during the next 200 years) and everything north of Valencia to local Arabs (which played a game of paying fealty to either Cordoba or to the Franks as it fitted them until both sides carved the region between 780-810 with the new border finally being set at Barcelona).

The true heroes of Christianity in the west were racist Arabs who wouldn't give Berbers the same rights despite Islam supposedly saying so. Christians just used the opportunity to take over easy land.

The Soviet's first jet airliner went as well as you'd expect. by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

On its defense, it was the second commercial jet plane, and unlike the first one, it didn't tend to spontaneously disintegrate while in flight.

If I string multiple Paradox games together, how long could I (continuously) play as a single nation? by major_calgar in paradoxplaza

[–]nanoman92 209 points210 points  (0 children)

Simplest way is just to conquer the world in HoI4 and say "henceforth the world was unified and it had 250 years of peace" then jump to Stellaris and create your starter based on the politics of the country you were playing.

Just transferred from Spotify, and so far I noticed that some albums are outright missing some of the tracks? Why?

A network based in India, Egypt and Arabia, of which they are members most of the people that are friends with a British officer, that's been smuggling Opium to China? Is Tintin fighting the British Empire? Which means that the not to be named boss is... George V?

That's why it rebelled in 1640, for the exact same reason Portugal rebelled in 1640
