Feel free to add any I've msised!

:)

Also you weebs better not pick the Japanese Empire lol it was pretty fucking evil

+ Japanese, Ming, Mayan, & Polynesian.

*hides my manga collection* No no no I totally like Japan for its history and culture.

I will pick the Japanese Empire BECAUSE it's evil
Speaking of evil, get fucked, Ottoman Empire

Can't fight da Pride with this one.

As well as the Egyptian, Ming (though if you want to talk about the COOLEST Chinese Dynasty, the Qin takes the cake for me. A shame I can't add that too XD), Japanese, Roman, Holy Roman and Mayan ones. My Historic senses are tingling all over the place lmao !!!!

The Macedonian conquests under Alexander the Great are some of most well-done in history, even to this day. Also an honourable mention to the city Babylon, because I low-key wish I could see that place.

Lol idk how I forgot the Macedonian and Ottoman Empires, thanks. Also added Qin

Alexander was a bit of a badass. And yeah I agree, Babylon is so cool

"My Historic senses are tingling all over the place" me while looking up the maps for this poll lol

Austronesians / Polynesians are so fucking cool

Have spent too much time nerding out about the link of Austronesian people throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They were the very first humans to ocean-going sailing technologies, which allowed them to travel thousands of kilometres across open sea even during the BC era. Prior to the 16th century, the Austronesian language family was the most widespread language family in the world, spanning (literally) half the planet from Easter Island in the eastern Pacific to Madagascar in the western Indian Ocean. Look at this link.

These people used outrigger canoes to sail all the way from Indonesia to Madagascar!! Starting from 350BC!! LOOK AT THE DAMN MAP AGAIN. Appreciate how far that is. Appreciate all the amazing navigational skills they needed to do it. 350 BC.

It's sorta sad that we learn next to nothing about them in the West, These badasses had spanned half the planet before England had even built a dinghy lmao

Interestingly, the genetics of current-day Madagascan people are pretty much an equal mix of Southeast Asian and East African

Also a fan of Egyptian (these dudes were ancient people even to the Ancient Greeks), Persian (more badasses), Abbasid (kept mathematics and science and philosophy alive while Europe was in the Dark Ages) , Mughal (they built the Taj Mahal and had a pretty good system of religious tolerance going on), Mayan and Incan (there are multiple independent "cradles of civilisation" and one was in south america)

@all you weebs pls look up the Rape of Nanking I BEG OF YOU (major CW warning tho). Japanese empire was Nazi-tier evil and it is my self-appointed fanpop duty to dampen the japan simping

I read so much abt Indus Valley civilisation and I am aware of it. Idk much abt others, but along side Indus Valley Civilization, I will like to mention Roman Empire and Russian Empire.
