I'm sorry but I think your mistaken. There are numerouse written accounts of Mongols being of variouse religions and denominations. And the Mongols used fear as a tool to intimedate cities to surrender. I think you're basing your knowledge on Muslim historians, who used impracticle numbers...

I don't think the mongol empire should be considered evil at all. It was the only empire of its time to allow all religions to practice, and actualy go out of its way to bring them all to the mongol capitol. Trade flourished like never before as the silk road was made nearly completely safe...

The reason I think the 40,000 soldiers and militia wouldn't be to big an obstalce, is that the Canadian-US borderhas much more room for manuever. An Army twice the size, or even three times the size, of the British Defenders would easily be able to go around or serround most defences that the...

I don't htinkt he south ever thought they were being denied representation. Remember the variouse compromises concerning the MExican territories were considered Southern victories, as they continued to expanded slaveries bounderies northerward.

If with all the supplies in the world, the CSA simply lacks the manpower or the infustructure to transport said supplies to the front line. Also how are CSA agents goin to burn down half of NYC. Also 40,000+ british soldiers and militias would be swept aside by veteran US soldiers. The...

I would say the CSA has a golden period of about a decade with increasiong tensions between the variouse states of petty things (such as when to hold certain holidays) to majory ones (such as how much money to send to the federal gov. and state militias). During this "golden period" more and...

Trench warfare isn't exactly natural to the large confederate/us border. One of the reasons it was so developed ont he Western front is that the area they were fighting in wasn't very large or easy to manuvere in. Unfortunetly most of were the Civil War was fought is the exact opposite.

well they diffenetly adopted Saxon warfare. At Hastings the proffesion body of Harold's army was huscurls, whcih were basicly the bodyguards/lords of a Saxon warchief/king. The reason the Saxon's lasted so long against the Norman calvary was the huscurls would form a wall with their large...

Both groups in the ebate over how mny immigrate still believe that a considerable amount of Saxons, Angles, etc, immigrated, its just how many came over. I mean If there was only a relatively few number of immigrants comming over then wouldn't they be 'britionized' instead of the other way...

I don't see this really stemming the Saxon's and the ilk from comming over to England. Sure it changes the power dynamics on teh island but wouldn't there need to be somthing ont he continent that would change immigration patterns? Maybe this would just increase brition-saxon conflict?

Yes but why would his "knights" go along with his plan, when it clearly means a loss of power? And if you has to fight his vassals, wouldn't that just prompt the other kingdoms to jump into the fray? Also what could be the reason that he needs to centralize? I just don't see this as a probably...

I don't see how any one warlord could maintain a true kingdom ussing early feudalistic government. maybe some sort of "over-king" which loosly ties the other kingdoms togather, but hardly anything like a modern or semi-modern centralized state. Also I don't know if the Rome would put up with a...

I'm sorry but buying off the vikings was effective and was used by Alfred numerouse times to buy time. Here are three examples from the late 900's and early 1000's, after which there was only one attack buy the Vikings, which wasn't a raid to gain wealth, but one of conquest that put Canut on...

For all/most of these territories to last to dominion status it would be really gradual acquistion of territories, somthing the othe rEuropean powers wouldn't have allowed.

i would say that five years after the map the British empire crumbles.
