[QUOTE=HighdefGE;33663462]You're mixing up ethnicity and nationality. Ethnically, they're Slavic, but they're different in terms of nationality, culture, and language.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I got mixed up. Whoops

[QUOTE=Cheshire_cat;33663538]China was invaded several times if I remember correctly, they just took over and kept things basically the same.
Plus, they're surrounded by mountains on their western and northern flanks, with oceans on their southern and eastern sides, keeping foreign invaders out of their country, so they were left to their own devices for centuries.

The Roman Empire also collapsed because Rome was attacked and sacked in the late-400s in the midst of political turmoil. Without leadership, the Empire disintegrated.
And the Eastern (Turkish) Empire fell because people invented cannons to blow through their walls, if I remember correctly.[/QUOTE]
Uhh, the Eastern Roman Empire was the Byzantine Empire. The Ottomans (which became the Turks) took over when they collapsed, hence why Constantinople is now called Istanbul.

Byzantium didn't collapse. It was conquered.

You'll never know 99% of the people fighting for the independence even if Canadians do help. There's no point imagining some kind of brotherhood with a bunch of people you've never met.
