BTW, recent past is last 100 years as far as I'm concerned.
Oh yeah, there was one country like that. They ended up spreading themselves too thin and pissing off about 80 - 90% of the rest of the world such that all those "weaker" nations joined together and put a stop to that crap.
It'll never happen here though...  |
Not that I agree at all with your second sentence, but I can't make heads nor tails of what it is you are referring too. You're being waaaaaaaayyyyyy to vague.
BTW, why the artificial limit of 100 years?
