Default 30 lessons from history

1. Don’t **** off your peasants. They’ll revolt and kill you.

2. Never invade Russia from the west. The snow will kill you. (The Russians will help)

3. The French always lose. If the French win it is because they are fighting themselves, being led by someone who is not French, or someone else is doing all of the fighting. It’s best to just ignore France.

4. The Jews are the most persecuted people in history. Statistically, they’re bound to start winning sometime. (As long as they don’t **** of their peasants or invade Russia…or ally themselves with the French)

5. Burning down cities will not bring your Messiah back.

6. The Romans declared war on China. They didn’t know where China was or what it was but they thought it would be a good idea to declare war on it just in case. It’s always good to declare war on people you don’t know…as long as they don’t find out and kill you.

7. When in doubt pay your enemies to go sack another civilization.

8. Conquer the world…but don’t forget to govern your empire or it will fall apart

9. You can **** off a king. The worst he can do is kill you. Don’t **** off the pope. He can send you to hell. Nobody likes hell.

10. The Jews are smart. They don’t have a hell.

11. It’s better to be feared than loved but it’s better to be loved than to be killed by an angry mob.

12. Don’t kill the grandson of a prophet.

13. Never pick on a civilization that can burn water. We don’t know what Greek fire was, but we know that it was cool.

14. Don’t mess with Genghis Khan unless you want to live your deepest fears.

15. Leonardo da Vinci invented chemical weapons.

16. We all came from Africa. Get over it.

17. When dealing with religion, facts are of little importance. What matter are faith and beliefs and the fact that people are willing to fight and die for them. More people have died in the name of God than for any other cause in history.

18. Christopher Columbus did NOT discover America. Nor did he believe that the world was flat. The Moral of This Story: Elementary History Teachers Lied to You

19. Armed with pitchforks, the Chinese could take over the world.

20. Do not mess with a Japanese samurai. Even if you’re Chinese and have a pitchfork.

21. Keep an eye on Poland in case it decides to walk across Europe again.

22. The Tatars did not invent tartar sauce. The Egyptians did invent chocolate cake and for that we are grateful.

23. Strawberry pop-tarts will shoot 3 foot flames out of your toaster if you leave them in there for a really long time.

24. Guys who talk to statues and appoint their horse Consul of Rome generally don’t make good Emperors.

25. The Arabs did not invent terrorism. They did, however, invent algebra. This is a perfectly acceptable reason to go to war.

26. If you’re going to declare that you’re god, make sure that you know how to make it rain during a draught.

27. Switzerland is cool…they have chocolate, pocket knives, watches, banks, the most armed society in the world, and a military that is so effective, its banned from most wars by international law. Not even Hitler was stupid enough to mess with the Swiss.

28. Mercenaries fight for whoever pays them the most money. You can’t trust them not to betray you.

29. You cannot accurately translate Arabic into English. If you want to truly understand Islam you must first learn to speak Arabic. Do not study Arabic because it is “pretty.”

30. Trade is the best way to spread culture, disease, religion, language, and technology but conquest works in the unlikely event that you don’t have anything that anyone else wants.

Unlikely as mankind contains the best possible protein for human beings.so a bag of chips and a bit of salt and vinegar and you have just had the most nutritious meal possible

Just corrected a few minor errors Sally
