considering they were actually given up by a fellow conspiritor, i think one of them would have blabbed. even if they didn't, the investigation probably would have found who was hiring cellars beneath and tortured a confession out of them.
if all else failed, there are only so many scape goats, and catholics were public enemy number one at that point

>>19719
the information would have gotten out one way or another.
THis aint top secret FBI shit. It's gunpowder.

The Japanese tried and ran into a fellow named Yi Sun Sin who crushed the Japanese navy on several occasions, including defeated a Japanese fleet that outnumbered his own forces 10:1. Also the Chinese Imperial Army was always ready and waiting to respond to any threat posed by Japan, which the Japanese learned in the late 16th Century.

What is interesting though, is why the Japanese did not look south toward the disorganized and lightly colonized areas of Formosa (Taiwan) and Luzon (Phillipines), they may have been as easier conquest and control considering the Chinese had no interest in these states and the European Powers (Dutch and Spanish) had limited supply lines to these parts of the world. Considering that the Ryukyu Islands had accepted suzerainty of the Damiyo of Satsuma in 1609, they Islands did not pose a risk of supply lines to Formosa and Luzon.

Yes, this is what I was referring too. Europe had a good economic motivation to colonize Philippines and duch east indies (spices, exotic goods etc..) Japan lacked this "opportunity" and could afford to just remain isolationist, unlike major European powers for whom this kind of policy would have meant suicide.

Therefore "playing" as japan you would have several strategic objectives. Improve fleet technology, attempt to open markets to spur motivations to expand south west. Avoid protracted expeditions into continental china, instead focus on occupying islands and perhaps Siam/Vietnam coast.

Not a country but we want to be one.

The king from the old land sent us to make money on this new plain while our main competitors goal was to colonize. We lost the only fortified city on the continent and we were by that moment slaves to the english and religion. By the middle of the 20th century we started getting balls and tried to become master in our on domain. (Maître chez nous) We almost got our independance but having failed so close from our goal we laid back in a lethargic position until this day.

My country has never been independent despite having a population of millions. Our most well-known historical figure is one of the most important men in Islamic history.

That is the faggiest knight I have ever seen.

I've always wanted to go to one of these. They look like a lot of fun.

Around how much are the prices for these?

The Texas Ren Fest is reasonable. $35 gets you a 2 day pass. It's the food and beverage that rape you. I'm camping this year, so I'll be able to eat/drink my own shit at the campsite. However, a big-ass flagon of mead and an even more preposterously big-ass turkey leg are sooooooooooo worth it, no matter how much it costs! Food and drink there is so cash...

> SCA takes itself way too seriously.

Only certain people in the SCA do. Just avoid them.

Also, SCA chicks are a lot more "in period" morality wise than RenFair chicks. If you want to buy stuff for a girl, go to a Ren Fair. If you want to fuck one in a chainmail bikini, go the the SCA.

Comment>>19654 :'D So true...
>>19628 But would you hit it? :\

>>19720
Damn right! Black women are the strongest women on this planet. If you want a weak little subservient wife get an Asian or a White girl. This is why I think most whites are turned off by black women. They are intimidated by women that can kick their asses.

>>19728

Even though I like black girls I am not under the impression they are strong. The fact most of them are raised to be loud, ignorant, and thick skulled doesn't mean they are strong, just means they don't know when to shut the hell up. A real strong woman doesn't need to get in everyones face and be extremely loud. It's just like guys bulking up and being general douche bags to try and show all the girls they are strong. If you can't see past that then enjoy getting stomped on by women that hate themselves for the rest of your life

>>19741

second

>>19741

no woman is beautiful if she is not sophisticated, loud and, ignorant. it has nothing to do with race. i was merely pointing out that black women fulfill the type of beauty that is powerful not delicate. after that its just up to personal taste.

>>19748
By that reasoning, pigs also have a beauty that is "powerful not delicate".

Thank you for the generous compliment :)

I can't honestly say blacks weren't helped "at all", but if I recall correctly, whites had priority over blacks in getting jobs from New Deal programs and the like.

A more important question is why the fuck do you care.

>>19730
since you posted in this thread, why do you?

>>19717
Because niggers like you force historians to pay attention to this shit, eventhough nigger history is horrendously uninteresting because all american niggers did was be poor and live in ghettos.

>>19734

stopped reading there

>>19617
But that's my point.
>>19618
Yes, but even so, a documentary that simply says the horsefucking myth was french propaganda would still be better than what they broadcast now. The important thing is that horsefucking gets mentioned.

Last night they had The Universe: Space Wars. Now I know how we will defeat those damn Lunar Separatists 100 years from now!
Earth blew the fuck out of their colony with anti-matter and "The Rod from God"
The History Channel: your source for history that hasn't happened yet.

>>19620
Fucking download a documnetary on Russian Czars then. Fuck History Channel produced about five where horsefucking was mentioned back when television was watchable and Gundam Wing made sense.

I lived in communism, and it wasn't nearly as bad as people like you make it out to be. In fact, if anything the state intruded less into personal space than it does today.

>>19660
I don't think it's just because of the Jews, remember that Stalin was one of the allies.
Also, what it means is that Stalin killed people out of what he believed to be necessary for the benefit of the state, while Git-ler killed people out of idiocy - some sort of Nordic myth with no base in science. A destabilising factor if there ever was one in history.

>>19672
Both Stalin and Hitler killed people out of what they believed to be necessary for the benefit of their States!

>>19675
And one had crazy reasons for it. Wonder why people think he's worse?

>>19672

>i'm 14 and still live in a wet dream where people must be forced to be equal by the state, and actually have never been near russia or lived with/under those lowbrow mongoloids in white skin

Thats right, his name was Stalin. I am glad we agree.

not that there's anything wrong with that

There are so many cool people that could be mentioned. I like histories bad asses, Ghenghis Kahn conquered the most territory for any one man let alone nation in what was almost an ancient world war and as the legend goes his army executed over a million people in only an hour (I suppose if the whole army was at work killing people it could be possibe)

>>19655
He also set up the first secular government and had the first open parliamentary system.
