I need a place to write my thoughts therefore My thoughts are in this thread

My current and most recent thoughts have been the development, the strategies and the scale of armies that have gone through the centuries and my attempts of mapping out a constant timeline of dominant empires since 3000 BC, in this forum im going to do just these things. Just you wait and see.

Ancient Empires

Sumerian Empire 3500BC- 2400BC (First Empire)
Egytpian Empire 3000BC-75BC (Impressive, long lasting)
Akkadin Empire 2400BC -1900BC (Small amount of land, wiped out Sumerians)
Babylonian Empire 1900BC - 1100BC (Made a mint city, got boomed a few times)
Hittite Empire 1750BC - 1200BC (Never lasted long but gave Egyptians hard time)
Greeks 1150BC - 200BC (One of the best empires, I liked the Hoplites and SPARTA!)
Roman Empire 750BC - 300AD (I loved these, I mean they had roads and baths and naked statues with little pinners and society and communism and republicism and fascism and Caeser, my favourite ancient Empire, shame they were wiped out by men with beards.)

I Will go on about other empires later but first I just want to talka about the British Empire. It was originally set up as a business during the reign of Elizabeth I as the East India Trading Company or the EIC, they as it is a bit obvious were based in India where they enslaved populations to make stuff. To be continued I've got to go to bed.

OK so we know now that the British empire started out as a business selling coffee and tea. Yes a bit like Tetley and Nescafe, they are going to rule the world some day. Anywho when the Carribean was founded they were extremely powerful and wealthy and played a key role in the slave trade, but due to pirates they had to buy armed ships to protect their freighters. Queue the Royal Navy, this was the foundation of the whole empire and this allowed them to get even more rich and wealthy until eventually they had practically owned the whole of everywhere, then one of the owners of the EIC was married into royalty and was crowned king, King George the IV sometime in the 19th century. After this this fueled the whole axpansion fo most of Africa, Canada, Australia and America. However it wasn't all straight sailing from there, The British empire to be continued.

Recently I watched a film that was about war, and a lot like my thoughts this thought is again about war, as I was watching it there was a company called Easy company in the 101st regiment of the 2nd Battalion and there was a captain commanding the company and a colonel somewhere and I was like WTF! So anyways I researched army ranks and regimental stuff so here it is.

I was just about to blabber on about the British Empire again but then I thought. Oh wait I still haven't finsihed my history of empires so that is what I am going to do now.

Byzantine Empire - 200AD - 1453AD These were all that was left of the Eastern Roman empire. They were cool.

Mongolian Empire - 1162AD - 1502AD OMG ruled all of Asia, were pimps in disguise I mean they rode horses everywhere, they even fed off them

British Empire 1750 - Now Yes you might not believe it as much but it is still going. Somehow they just don't flount about it. I mean we are called "Great" Britain
