Explain the AH Quote

Sultan Mehamedi of Axum visits the court of Coptic Egyptian King Aleksanaros II on a diplomatic mission. The mission mostly goes well, but due to cultural differences, the Copts serve wine at a final celebratory dinner, not understanding the Sultan's religious devotion. As a result, the negotiations fall through, and the Coptic-Axumite War begins, with the Axumites conquering Caira and beheading Aleksanaros. This would lead to the annexation of Egypt into the Sultanate, and resulting in the capital being moved to Khartoum.

Bartolomé de las Casas

"Today is the day we, the people of America, must stand together against a looming threat from Western Europe. The hegemonial alliance between Mussolini's Italy, Maurras' France and Alparslan's Turkey is a scourge among the many independent nations. We will not look away as France stockpiles atom bombs, we will not look away as Italy instigates antireligious violence in India, Mexico and Malaya, we will not look away as Turkey invades the Near East. Never forget what the Stalinists did to the Germans, the Ukranians, the Catholics and the oppressed people of Europe and the Near East during World War 2. Today is the day where we roll back against the hegemonic menace!"
--- President Dwight D. Eisenhower

In an effort to out compete this false china, the Song would conquer much of what is now vietnam and Laos, as well as massive naval buildup and fortification. Unfortunately, both states collapsed within decades of each other in the 1400s.

The Country is on fire;Invicible Smoke was the title of a concept album by British rock band Pink Floyd, released in 1978, the albums songs would be filled to the brim with commentary on the political situation in the United Kingdom at the time. The UK in the 70s was marked by increasing anti-Asian and anti-Indian sentiment, resulting in various attacks by British supremacists against immigrants and migrant workers throughout the country. Despite that, most major British news outlets would fail to acknowledge or condemn these actions, making it seem as if the issues at the time were not noticeable.

Said by Zhang Chunqiao in the Second Chinese Civil War. Due to a far destructive Cultural Revolution, Communist China imploded, with warlordism being rampant for the next five years. After pacifying the warlords, Zhang agreed to a white peace with the Nationalists, splitting China along the Yangtze River, and freeing Tibet and half of East Turkestan. This restored the legitimacy of the Beijing government at the cost of his position as President of the People's Republic of China.

An exchange between an American General and his Aide during the American Intervention into the 4th Franco-German War, waged between 1976-1979. The US joined the French side in 1978, and eventually won the war for France through aggressive use of nuclear weapons. The oil shortage was caused by the German's Ottoman, Arabian and Venezuelan nonbelligerent allies embargoing all oil sales to France and her belligerent allies, greatly reducing oil supplies.

On that fateful day in March 1898, the United States learned a tough lesson: You do NOT mess with the Kingdom of Hawai’i. Unless you have a death wish. In which case, go right ahead.

A quote from the comedy film, Oahu Boys, starring Dustin Hoffman. The context is that Roald, played by Dustin Hoffman, is trying to explain that trashing the hotel room owned by the King of Hawaii leads to litigation.

"This isn't right. There's a pile of bodies."

When Constantinople fell to the Arabs in 679, Yazid I explained that victory had come to him because he was waging a just and right war. Constantine IV answered him with these famous words and before his death called on Christianity to fight the Mohammedan cult for the salvation of mankind.
Constantinople was liberated in 1453 by the Frankish Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

Historian James Barton describing the brief American-Hawaiian war of 1898, in his book “Aloha Empire: Hawaii’s rise to dominance in Polynesia”. At the battle of Oahu on March 16, 1898, three American ships carrying soldiers for an invasion were destroyed by Hawaiian coastal artillery, of the 5,000-strong invasion force, only around 800 soldiers and sailors survived the assault, all of whom became POWs until the war’s end two months later. The decimation of the American fleet at Oahu quickly put an end to foreign interest in annexing Hawaii. In 2002, a newly discovered letter from Japanese foreign minister Hitoshi Nagafumi to Emperor Meiji dated to 1900 said “The Americans have shown us that any attempts to absorb Hawaii into the empire simply aren't worth the effort. If we were to attempt such a thing, their cannons will obliterate any force we send, especially since they have built three more since their engagement with the United States.”
