Non-Westerners You Want to See a Timeline About

[Thespitron 6000]

He's mixed-race; his uncle's name was Jonker Afrikaner. And at least according to Google Translate, "wit" does mean "white," but "booi" doesn't mean "boy." This says that the "booi" surname is of Dutch origin and means "dweller by the small harbour or little boats," so I guess the name would translate to something like "white harbor."

So "Whitebuoy".

Cem Sultan the Ottoman Pretender. He was his father's favorite & western looking. Didn't get to be the Padishah, took refuge in Italy, Ottomans got stuck with his reactionary brother.

Xerxes, Meiji, maybe Qin Shi Huang?

No, he means May G, the Victorian-era rapper and corset impresario.

Any of the following Ethiopian emperors: Tewodros II, Yohannes IV, Menelik II or Iyasu V.

Ras Mikael of Wollo.

Queen Amina of Zaria.

Usman dan Fodio (a substantial presence in Malê Rising, but a background one).

I'm curious, what exactly did you have in mind for Ethiopia's emperors?

I'd love to see a timeline about Puyi (I even made a WI thread about the 1907 restoration attempt) or about the Opium Wars.
