Reputed last words of Gilgamesh VI shortly before his assassination in Babylon during the Last Era of Kings. His assassination is considered to be the beginning of the High Chaos of the Bronze Age and Babylon's final collapse as a regional power.

There is but one God and his name is Aten.

Among the last words of Tutankhamun during a troubled period of Egypt regarding the conflict between Atenism and that of Amun-Ra and the polytheistic methods of the old faiths. However, his death would coincide with a period of troubles and plagues, causing many to doubt the old ways and that by rejecting Atenism, they have brought upon his wrath. This led to the official rebirth of Atenism throughout the Empire and maintaining the story of the "first individual", Akhenaten while the nobility and priests tried erasing him from history.

They would ultimately fail when Egypt would fall under the influence of the Roman Empire, with the Romans becoming enamored with the story of Akhenaten and Atenism. This would lead to a syncretism of Atenism and that of Rome's sun god, Sol, the two merging to become Aten-Sol Invictus, a proclamation of the triumph of Atenism. The religion would spread throughout, chasing traditional polytheists down into Nubia. Christianity meanwhile would instead be pushed further into Judea and Arabia though spread into Ethiopia while syretism as Jesus Christ being the heir of Ahura Mazda spreading into Iran and out east.

"My Emperor, Persia has fallen to the Muslims. Why seek more warfare? Our focus should be retaining and stengthening our hold in Egypt, Cyrenaica and Mauretania in the name of Christ. Grant these followers of Muhammad the chance to deal with the barbarians north of the River Danubius and across the Sea of Pontus so we may have an accord."

Quote from Byzantine general and future emperor Constantius the 4th, commenting on the state of the Middle East at the time. Rome, in the years following the barbarian conquests of Gaul and northern Italia, had put greater focus on strengthening and expanding its holdings in Africa to combat both wood be invaders from the east and teh native warriors of the Sahara. In the year 945 AD, a massive fleet of Muslim mercenaries would would sail across the black sea, landing in the coast of modern day Tartarstan, where they would make some ground in converting the native inhabitants, but would ultimately be pushed out by a coalition of various tribal groups who perceived this southern religion brought to their shores as an affront to their gods.

"You misunderstand the Fuhrer's intentions Mr. Ambassador, we have no intention of destroying the Jews and Slavs, we wish only to "relocate" them to nice cozy reservations in the east, where they can live in peace and not run the risk of interfering in the business of the Reich, if some happen to die along the way so be it. Realistically its not so different to what your, Germanic might I add, Angle and Saxon ancestors did to the ancestors of the Welsh, or what your nations child across the Atlantic did to the Indians."

 

[Liam Johnson of The Army]

A satire about holocaust denial. The line was said by an SS officer.
“The Christian Archbishop of Judea makes a trip to Arabia, there with the help of some Christian converts, he manages to improve his relationship with the pagan Arabs, and successfully begins to preach Christianity, which in turn increases his relationship with the Arabs.
Everything seems perfect for Christianity, counting the situation in the Middle East, Mesopotamia and Persia are becoming quite converted, there are more missions to Arabia, etc.”

Words Exchanged between famed explorer Christopher Columbus and Queen Isabell of Spain following his return from his first voyage. As a result the Western Continent was named for the famed lost Continent of Atlantis and the legendary continent was believed discovered. It wouldn't be until 1965 when a series of wrecked ships were found on Hispanolia that the remains of a lost Mycean Greek convoy was found. The convoy would be dated to the time of the Sea Peoples and the Bronze age collapse and contain items from all over the Mediterranean world.

Von Ribbentrop to the British Ambassador to Germany in 1942. Britain and France were (reluctantly) allied together with Germany after Trotsky's USSR invaded Poland and then Germany itself in 1937, but with the Nazis racism becoming more difficult to ignore, and with Allied forces now into Ukraine, tensions were forming within the alliance. In 1943, anti-Trotsky elements in the communist party would launch a successful coup and cut a deal with Britain and France which ceded some territory in central Asia to British and french-backed regimes, promised to cut all support to the Chinese Communist Party and cede parts of the western USSR to Germany's sphere of influence, in order to secure a peace deal. Germany was enraged by the betrayal, but stretched thin by their war machine having been forced into action before they were ready, the Nazis had no other choice but to accept the deal.

This would, however, lead to a new war starting in 1951 between Germany and a new far-right Integralist government in France (with backing from Fascist Italy and Spain as junior partners) against a new Soviet-British strategic alliance.

It is with a heavy heart, Mr. President, that I must deliver my state's secession from the union, the 11th state to do so. The people of Ohio cannot sit idly by while slave power continues to govern this country, while the Federal government insists on kowtowing to the southern planter class over all others, and wages fresh wars in Mexico and the Carribean every year to secure more land for King Cotton. And so, on this day February the 17th, in the year of our lord 1865, the State of Ohio officially leaves the United States and joins with her fellows in a new union, the Free States of America. Free from slavery, and free from you, Jefferson Davis.

It is with a heavy heart, Mr. President, that I must deliver my state's secession from the union, the 11th state to do so. The people of Ohio cannot sit idly by while slave power continues to govern this country, while the Federal government insists on kowtowing to the southern planter class over all others, and wages fresh wars in Mexico and the Carribean every year to secure more land for King Cotton. And so, on this day February the 17th, in the year of our lord 1865, the State of Ohio officially leaves the United States and joins with her fellows in a new union, the Free States of America. Free from slavery, and free from you, Jefferson Davis.

The news regarding the formation of the Free States of America against the United States of America, the former claiming the latter as disgracing the name of the USA and launching pointless wars which resulted in the loss of land for Mexico and islands targeting of the Caribbean. Thus began what was initially called the Americn Civil War, now called the Second American Revolution, led by abolitionist turned president John Brown.

Due to possessing greater industrial might and the promise of freedom and voting rights for the people of color, the USA would see themselves overtaken, especially as Mexico, under the constitutional monarchy of Maximillian I, would send reinforcements. The FSA would become the successor of the United States. While possessing greater federal power, it also included a new constitution and was a semi-presidential system. It would also adopt a two-round system based on majority later on. In exchange for their help, the Free States of America would grant large portions of land back to Mexico along with creating special territories for the "Indians" or Amerinds as they were now called. Mexico and the FSA's new border had them share the San Francisco Bay while discovering gold (due to neglect of the land by the Davisites). The Caribbean territories were paid and restored.

King Max's successes would bring faith into the monarchy in Mexico though a revolution would still occur by conservatives and Catholics, which Americans helped out in respond, while allowing them to implement further reforms into Mexico. Americans meanwhile needed to deal with a few decades in squashing "Davisite" and "pro-slave" forces, including the Ku Klux Klan, who would be treated as traitors.

Otto von Bismark, former Prussian Ambassador to the Appalachian Republic and by now Chancellor of germany, when Kaisar Wilhelm II said he wanted to form an alliance with "The Americans", in 1899, with the intent of finding allies against the hegemonic Bolivarian Republic in South America.

I have erased the Rhine River as a barrier on the map. It would behoove you to remember that fact, Your Majesty. Rome can come for you whenver she wants.

 

[Prince of Permsia]

Emperor of the French Napoleon Bonaparte to Empress of Austria Maria Theresa II upon their meeting at the Congress of Vienna. He was allegorically referring to himself as Rome, as well as mocking her husband Francis II's renunciation of the tittle of Holy Roman Emperor.

Beaten just for a moment. However, Prince of Permsia didn't put another quote.
Erased the Rhine refers to the bridge of boats built by the Teutonic Templars (an order of knights in the Medieval era who survived due to papal protection). This was done to intimidate the Holy Roman Emperor Gregory IV.

Atilla Secundus, a Hunnic warlord who invaded the Eastern Roman Empire in 731, giving himself the name Atilla Secundus specifically to echo the achievements of his now long dear forebear. His forces had trapped the Eastern Roman Emperor in a valley in the Carpathian Mountains with 30,000 soldiers and enough supplies to last them a few weeks, but the Atilla grew impatient and promised to slaughter them all if the Emperor did not surrender.

Unfortunately, the Romans managed to hold out for a week, until reinforcements from the West finally made it and attacked Atilla from the rear.

How many new realms out of the fragmentation of the American Holy Empire is that now? Fifty-six? I don't miss the threat they posed to our northern border, but I do miss how neat and tidy the map was when they were still around.

How many new realms out of the fragmentation of the American Holy Empire is that now? Fifty-six? I don't miss the threat they posed to our northern border, but I do miss how neat and tidy the map was when they were still around.

A minister within the Republic of Mexico were discussing the break-up of the so-called "American Holy Empire", a successor of the former United States of America after a coup in the 1910s, leading to a oligarchy republic with aristocratic elements favoring the wealthy along with establish a national church, inspired by the Anglican model, but colored with ethnonational elements. The US broke up into its continent states and several more, including the division of California and Texas.

Mexico would take the opportunity though to invite several of its former states into it, resulting in the Republic of Mexico stretching from the San Francisco Bay down to the Panama Canal. They would also help the fragemented realms reunite during a socialist uprising, resulting in the Peoples' Union of America.

Jules Verne, French cabinet member speaking on the Polish-Lithuanian-Ruthenian Commonwealth. More secular then other empires at the time (outright forbidding missionary work to curry favour among countries), they began the Kongo War, which limited outside powers. Often misunderstood as being a step forward for human rights, it led to Kongo Empire expanding while the Ottomans begun to take over the continent.

"I don't approve of violence, but if you don't knock off bullying my children, I will not punish them when they inevitably fight back and tear you apart, you bullying cretin."

“The only thing we have to fear is whatever it is the Prime Minister is planning.”

New York Governor Franklin Roosevelt, on the possible actions of the Socialist Party Prime Minister selected by Parliament in 1931. Although sympathetic to the Socialists, Roosevelt did not fully support them, and was concerned that the Northern Colonies might face a war of independence if excessively-socialist policies were enacted by Britain. This concern was not unfounded; the Middle Colonies did rebel in 1776 over taxes, the Southern in 1838 over slavery, and Quebec in 1848. A Socialist rebellion could easily face all of those parties at once, and could have received aid from the Republics of Texas and California.

The host, 'Zabblefriggle von Williams XI' asked that question of the would-be genocidal robot named One-Four-Zero-Ten that had a habit of exploding every time he was angry (and he got angry alot) but his autorepair function would always kick in.

"The Empire must expand to meet the needs of the expanding Republic."

An argument made over by the Aztlan Empre made in expanding up north after going down south. They believed that going past Chichimeca would help them suceed in their growth. As such, the Aztlan Empire made their Second Great Expansion since the subjugation of the Mayans, going up north and finding a land rich with gold in the ground and vassalizing the natives, finally stopping at a river.

A quote attributed Tsar Ivan V, who while trying to understand the independence, development and industrialization of Mexico and came to the incorrect understanding that it was take over fully by European Protestants so that’s why it developed quickly. The reality being that only a small number of Protestant family from France moved there and had far from a controlling lead on Mexican society. The tsar only arrived at this conclusion after a descendent of one these family ‘Augustus Guiton’ was elected president of Mexico. The quote was often used in the Western Hemisphere during the late 19 century to make fun of the ‘idiotic despotism of Europe’.

Opening line from the Doors song Ain't it Funny. The song was written by Jim Morrison in August 1971, a month after he suffered a near death experience from a heroin overdose. This event would affect Morrison deeply, and would lead to him completely quitting drugs and Alcohol. The album Ain't it Funny would receive mixed reviews upon its release in 1973, but would come to be considered by later music critics as Morrison's Magnum Opus.

"What, you think I'm going to fail, that I'll just end up falling to my death as a result of some short-sightedness brought upon by my own hubris? What do you take me for, a Disney villain? Please child, you truly believe I'd be holding a gun to your head right now if I hadn't already ensured my plan would succeed, regardless of my own fate? *deranged laughter* No, I wouldn't, because fact of the matter is, I've already won."

A line from a webseries involving various fans obtaining items of power or capabilities and being in broad categories of heroes and villains. The line is from the second season finale showing the protagonist of the season, a young Superman fan nonbinary preteen against the villain, a riff on self-proclaimed intellectuals who daydream on how they'd be the ideal villains if entering a setting. The plan in question was to try and break the fulcrum of reality to spread the contagion. The fan instead uses heat vision to loosen some structures up top to crush, the villain. The villain tries to attack the child by noting that Superman does not murder, only for the child to note that villain would plan for this because of their foresight, but didn't act on it ebcause they had no ability to improvise. At his core, the villain was a coward who is crushed to death as a result of not being short-sighted enough to improvise. Meanwhile, the heroes found a way to improvise a solution to the spread.
