@Anatolian_Farm @UpdatingOnRome Did some digging and found out it was mixed in the 14th century but timur spared the Muslim Turkish population and extracted ransom from them and the 4,000 victims were all Armenian christians

[astas @formulastas]

@Anatolian_Farm @UpdatingOnRome How did you know that there were no Turks in Sivas at the time?

@miyamoto1587 @iLuvJmoneyy @HonshuNomad The Portuguese sent only 400 musketeers

That's basically nothing and still they won against numerically superior forces in 4 battles before being overwhelmed in the 5th

It also ended badly for Gurey who got killed by Cristovao's men in revenge just one year later

[astas @formulastas]

@iLuvJmoneyy @HonshuNomad Do you know how big a battalion is, my friend? ~500 soldiers

Moreover they were not the Italian regulars but Eritrean ascaris. Nothing more than a redeployment of readily available second-rate colonial troops

That just shows you how little effort the Italians were putting in

[astas @formulastas]

@iLuvJmoneyy @HonshuNomad "Continuously fail" because they committed minimum resources for the expedition. Even 20k troops would have been enough for a decisive victory

And then the revolt imploded on its own because they couldn't even create a united front

How can I respect a shameful history

[astas @formulastas]

@iLuvJmoneyy @HonshuNomad Repulsing one small colonial expedition =/ competing with Italian military power

They would've been squashed like bugs if a serious campaign was launched. The Italians just went for the easy method because they didn't have to

[astas @formulastas]

@iLuvJmoneyy @HonshuNomad I see

Moot point but professional means little if they're not modern

Had access to the sea and couldn't keep up with western military developments via trade like the Japanese

@BartyThescatman @Wonderhal1 @accipiter0 skill issue
fym you couldn't rearm faster than the country that got nuked by versailles as a winner

@kasifhanif1 @SubrozaUltimate @Farid_0v Even if what you say is true, allowing people the freedom to choose isn't the same as actively endorsing and contributing to their cult

In the Cyrus Cylinder, Cyrus claims to have been chosen by Marduk to free Babylon after Nabonidus' excesses and disrespect towards the gods

[astas @formulastas]

@kasifhanif1 @SubrozaUltimate @Farid_0v That's my point

Dhulqarnayn was a strict monotheist
He wouldn't have tolerated the worship of pagan gods much less actively contribute

[astas @formulastas]

@kasifhanif1 @SubrozaUltimate @Farid_0v "But as for him who believeth and doeth right, good will be his reward, and We shall speak unto him a mild command."

Being lenient with the worship of Marduk and even declaring himself a follower for political legitimacy doesn't seem like something he'd do to be honest

[astas @formulastas]

@kasifhanif1 @SubrozaUltimate @Farid_0v Feel like the Cyrus cylinder kind of shatters the argument

Why return pagan idols to their places and facilitate their worship?

"He said: As for him who doeth wrong, we shall punish him, and then he will be brought back unto his Lord, Who will punish him with awful punishment!"
