WW1 and WW2 were both tragedies in that the wrong side won both.
Pretty sure the Nazi's and Japan winning WW2 isn't a good thing.

I don't know about you, but I'd totally live in the Greater Nazi Reich. The Japanese Pacific States I dunno about, but then again I've never been a west coast fan.

Did anyone mention the CIA ousting the democratically elected leader of Iran back in the 50's because England got butt blasted about oil?

The Armenian Genocide.

This is the serious forum., not The Flood.

The end of the Second Reich.

Never forget Versailles.

Also the death of Bismarck. He should have been cloned, or at least been allowed to take Wilhelm under his wing to a greater extent that he did. Maybe Wilhelm II would have been a better leader then.

The murder of Arminius. He led the Germanic people to victory over Rome when it was seen as unstoppable, and because of that, they never took anything past the Rhine. He was also able to unify the different tribes under one banner and could have potentially formed a Kingdom. No other faction would even be up to that task until the Franks hundreds of years later.

fucking barbars

Every time

I can understand it, because back then they were more set in their ways and Roman influence wasn't around for nearly as long. Still, it is a bit sad. That being said, with the Visigoths sacked Rome and took over, they adapted to Roman laws and what not, which is how modern Europe was formed. Not suddenly do away with it.
