Corr.
What you say about the Ottoman empire is perfectly correct.
What you say about the best archers is also correct.

But When William the Conquerer landed on the shores of England in 1066 And crowned in London he was later succeeded by his son William II or 'Rufus' as he was commonly known in 1087.
William I died by hitting the pommel of his saddle too hard while out riding by the way.

Wiliam II was then killed in 1100 in a 'hunting accident'. In fact it was probably a conspiricy by his rival, Henry, who wished to get the despised king of the throne. Later crowned Henry I

Now before you say

Please make sure it is actually correct.

 

I don't know, it says in our history books that Henry succeeded Vilim The Conquerer. It could be wrong.
About the WW2 question... We had the ustashas, and the serbs had chetniks (I don't really know how to say those words in English). Yugoslavia (Serbs included) had parizans, which were really the only ones against Hitler. The ustashas were with Hitler, and the chetniks were for "a great Serbia", wiping out other X-Yugo-nations. However, most of the 300,000 executed Croats were civilians. So, that pretty much sucked.

 

If Nutrimat continues writing like that on our boards I might just have to change my mind about who makes me laugh most

from one Yank to another, that was a pretty fitting description if not long winded.

 

Corr:

I see. I thought that chetnic business was newer, but it looks that it goes back a while.
On the other hand, I am still not clear about how Tito would allow that 300.000 to die, with him being a Croat and all.

Well, Tito was a true Yugoslav. Born and raised in that belief. But out of all the millions of people in x-Yugoslavia, maybe 10-20 percent of people thought of themselves as Yugoslavs before thinking of themselves as Croat, Serb, etc.
Anyway, Yugoslavia broke up, and Bosnia got the worst of it, Slovenia is striding towards NATO and Europe, and we're in a transition period.

 

hmm? The three kingdoms period was a bloody one, but you all forget a much bigger war: THE HUNS VS. THE HAN DYNASTY!!!! That war lasted damn lots of years, back with Liu Ban he fought the Huns, and lost too, then he payed tributes to the Huns for while until Han Wu Di, when he just made a total out war with the Huns, where every battle had at least 200,000 troops on each side, and they won, but then they spent too much effort, and the Han dynasty fell, continuing to Shin, which fell as quickly as it rose, and Han rose again, but then, the Huns gained back they're power and started fighting again for I don't know how long.
