Belgium to the Congo, France to the African north-west, England to India, Spain to Mexico, Portugal to Brazil.\r\n\r\nAnd then forgetting that there are plenty of Empire that conquest along their own environment, or neighborhoods.

However, a lot of their thinking minds were of Chinese and Central Asian/Middle Eastern origin, from territories they've annexed in their conquest. Japan could've come under Mongol rule under Kublai Khan if it wasn't for a giant ocean storm that destroyed much of Khan's fleet. Japanese lucked out. And the large ships and sophisticated weapons in the Mongol arsenal were Chinese origin. Japan was a rather backward warring feudal state back then, compared to the mainland.","author":"4fde5cee945b700a970060fc"},{"id":"534b3d9263687229bf530000","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@QuasarNova\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/534b3b68636872443e260100#post_534b3b68636872443e260100\r\nThe only reason why to have a lunar colony is to mine helium-3 which can potentially be used for cold fusion reactors.
