  • British Empire

    The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas colonies and trading posts established by England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. At its height it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-quarter of the world's population at the time, and covered more than 13 million square miles (34 million km2), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, it was often said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire" because its span across the globe ensured that the sun was always shining on at least one of its numerous territories.

    An Idea
  • Byzantine is Roman

    For all who believe it is time for modern scholarship to shed the foreign, archaic, culturally degrading, completely ahistorical term "Byzantine" as the de facto label of the East Roman Empire from the mind and future school books. For the sake of not only the truth but for the sincere desire in understanding our past.



    Members pledge to refrain from the use and application of the word "Byzantine" or "Byzantium" in association with the Medieval Greco-Roman Empire or its capital city properly known as Constantinople the 'Roma Nova'



    Together we shall start a movement, a call for change by promoting the correct usage of 'Roman' and 'Greco-Roman' as it applies to the 'Eastern Orientation' of late antiquity and the middle ages.

  • Uralic-Altaic Peoples History

    Uralic-Altaic Peoples History



    Turanians or Turanian tribes is a term that has been used in references to diverse groups of people. Some of the references have become obsolete in modern scholarship. The term Turanian tribes may refer to or may have referred to at one time:



    an Iranian ethnic group mentioned in the Avesta, see Turan.



    any historical people of Transoxiana or present-day Turkistan.



    any historical Ural-Altaic people, in particular:

    the Turkic peoples during Turkic expansion.

    the Huns described by the Europeans and Chinese.



    the Mongols, who are distantly related to the Turks.



    some sources has mentioned the Japanese people.



    non-Semitic and non-Indo-European peoples of the Late Bronze Age, see Hurro-Urartian and Etruscans.



    the Dravidian people of southern India and Pakistan.



    speakers of Caucasian Languages.



    The Basques of western Europe (northern Spain and southwest France) are theorized to have Turanian ancestors.



    The Sami or Lapps of northern Scandinavia.



    Finno-Ugric peoples like the Finns, Estonians, Hungarians and Volga Bulgars.



    Turanianism promotes the idea of Turanians are the oldest ethnocultural groups of humanity, and how East Asians, sub-Saharan Africans, white Caucasians or Indo-Europeans ("Aryans"), and indigenous peoples of the Americas are theoratic descendants of a former Turanian "race" of the last ice age.



    the term has some currency in Turkish nationalism, see Turanism, Turanian Society and Pan-Turkism.

  • Russian Empire

    For all formal lovers of the Romanov Empire. (Interesting, but today's russian opposition use the same banner of the Romanov Russia, - Beh!)

    As once a Graetest Empire, Russia collapsed by weakness of ruler Romanov's and from excessive foreign influence.
