- If you are Persian, you were massacred and enslaved by Tamerlane and his Mongols
- If you are Greek, you were ethnically cleansed from Anatolia and some Genocide, lots of rape...plus the whole business with Persian that lead to Marathon, Thermopylae, and Artemisium. The fall of constantinople was basically one huge pogrom.
- If you are French, then Julius Cesar is your Andrew Jackson. He took over, wiped out the tribes and brought Latin Culture to France
- If you are Spanish, then the Syrians with Berber soldiers invaded you and took over for a long time, a long reconquest was necessary for the native iberians to take back their land
- If you are Polish, then you were gangrapped by Russians, Germans, and Hungarians, some times all at once...even after you saved the day at the Siege of Vienna
- If you are Russians, then your people were captured, sold, and used as slaves. Captured by Tartars, Sold in Crimea by Turks, and used by Arabs for bad things.
- If you are Irish, you are kind of like a Pole. But there was a time when Algerians would snag all the boys, girls, and women in coastal villages and sold a few million in Tunisia and Algiers. Then the potato famine, blame PM Travelyan.
- If you are Egyptian, then you were conquered by Arabs and had to adopt their culture and religion.
- If you are Navajo and Yaki, then the Aztecs used some of your people for vivisection in their temples.
- If you are Scottish, then you have the Brave Heart movie. You even had to endure Hadrians Wall. Cause the Romans and Britons thought the Pics were too violent.
- If you are English, then your pillagers were the Norweigans, lots of head bashing and forced labor.
- If you are Sicilian, then you were colonized by Greeks, Cartheginians, Romans, Spanish, Arabs, and French Normans
- If you are Dutch, then you have the massacre of Maastricht by the Spanish Tercios.
- If you are German, the Romans used to trade Dogs and Wine in exchange for German child slaves
- If you are Danish, the Romans used to sell your kids, put them in cages. It was pope that said that Danes look like "Angels", thus the Anglo in Anglo-Saxon
So the Romans suck...
- But, if you are Roman, then Carthaginians, Gauls, and Numancian allies invade and pillaged your country for a while. Punic pirates took many Roman slaves. But legend also has it that a Greek alliance invaded your ancestors in Troy and destroyed your homeland. All because some girl named Helen did not want to be married to an Old Spartan, she liked a young Trojan more.
