It's even more nuts being than that, because the British traders were actually smugglers who weren't allowed by the British Empire to trade in their territory. So they used places in SE Asia as bases halfway between British India and China, where they would illegally buy the opium and then smuggle it into China. After which point the British Empire gave military protection to the traders they had declared to be criminals, but they weren't operating in the British Empire. Why, they were fair British businessmen abroad under the global watch of the crown!

Lame excuse for war: In the 1300s, someone from the Italian city of Modena snuck into the rival city of Bologna and stole a bucket from the center of town. The leaders of Bologna sent an ultimatum, demanding the bucket be returned or there would be war. The leaders of Modena scoffed and sent back no reply. Bologna marched on Modena, hundreds were killed, but Modena won and they still have the bucket on display to this day.

My personal favorite is: *_The War of the Oaken Bucket_* fought in 1325 between the city-states of Bologna and Modena. Essentially, a bunch of Modenese soldiers slipped into Bologna, stole a _bucket_ and then refused to return it, sparking hostility. The subsequent war (consisting of _one_ battle) was won by the Modenese, who to this day supposedly still have the oaken bucket, strung from a rope in the Torre della Ghirlandina. _The fact that the bucket was filled with loot is an oft forgotten detail that makes the entire excuse seem somewhat less lame..._

Emperor Valentinian III attempted to marry his sister Honoria to one of his senators secure his political standing, which she did not appreciate. She then proceeded to ask Attila, Rome's biggest enemy at the time, to rescue her from this fate, and sent him a ring as a proof of identity. Attila, who was trying to find every possible excuse to invade Rome, proceeded to call this a marriage proposal, and invaded Rome to claim what what rightfully his. Allegedly An Lushan attempted the same bullshit with Yang Guifei several centuries later, except this time he claimed adoption by the Empress, and initiated one of the most destructive rebellion in Chinese history.

Palmyra wasn’t a temple. It was a city. The current ruins was that of the Roman city. It grew wealthy during the Third Century AD. It’s position was on the crisscross of the trade routes of East and West. As Shapur I invaded the East as Rome was in anarchy, Odenathus a Palmyrene Noble loyal to Rome flight him off and laid the siege to the Persian capital. Then his widow declared the Palymerine Empire with her as regent for her son. Aurelian has none of that and crushed it and by sheer force of will put back Rome together. He then had all trade re-routed away from the city and let his men sack it. That’s why the city became depopulated and eventually became a ruin. It was well preserved thanks to the arid climate of the Middle East. Unfortunately Isis destroyed lots of it.

The ancient Assyrians were really unlucky when it comes to their Geographical location as they were utterly and completely surrounded enemies. To the north Urartu, Scythians, Cimmerians and several Anatolian states. To the east Elamites, Medes, Mannaeans and Persians. To the south the always rebellious Babylonians and the Arabs(qedarites) and to the west the warlike Arameans and the untrustworthy Canaanites(Phoenicians) and even further west the Egyptians. Honestly it's a miracle they survived as long as they did.

Excellent

enjoyed.

How did the Assyrians managed to conquer so deep in the Arab desert?

@Argyrus 47 I think it is because they had a few centuries of having a cavalry advantage (Arabs only had camels at that point) that later empires did not enjoy...later Arabs used camels and horses.

No one cared to fight for the sand.

A few years ago I read the historical novel The Ten Thousand, about Xenophon and the Greek warriors who went to Persia to overthrow a king. I'd like to see a video about that whole situation and the truths behind it.

Check out Fall of civilizations podcast the Assyrians-Empire of Iron from Paul Cooper. It's epic and starts with the 10,000 finding the ruins of Assyria. Its absolutely fantastic

Curious what you think about the bloody history of your old empire. Do you take the good with the bad or embrace the memes and go full star wars galactic empire? Lol
