Do yourself a favor and don’t look into the linguistic history of what is today China. You will see an impressive number of languages that became extinct in the past 100 years. The Navajo language is doing well today too. Doesn’t change the history. It’s like you are unable to look at history you find inconvenient. I don’t defend the brutalization of indeginious populations, you do for some odd reason. Oh right you’re an imperialist authoritarian

Yeah no, I hold the modern world to a higher standard than that sorry.
Feels like you are finally admitting to the imperialism at least

Did modern day switzerland (post ww2 seems like a good line but I’m open on this) draw a random ass claim on parts of France and fill the river with skeletons? That’s certainly not in any history book I’ve ever seen
