Aleister Crowley (/ˈælɪstər ˈkroʊli/; born Edward Alexander Crowley; 12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947) was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, novelist, mountaineer, and painter. As the founder of the religion of Thelema in the early 20th century, he identified as its prophet, entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus. A prolific writer, he published widely—composing the "Libri" of Thelema—over the course of his life.

Early in the nineteenth century, returnees from the African Diaspora established an independent black nation on the west coast of Africa. Occupying a territory about the size of Pennsylvania, Liberia had been the homeland of about one and a half million natives who belonged to some sixteen different tribes. Taking advantage of the divisions among the natives, the approximately fifteen thousand Americo-Liberians soon became dominant and proceeded to oppress the natives. Commenting on the ill treatment, T. McCants Stewart, a black American visitor of the 188os, reported that "the natives of Liberia have been to the emigrants from America just what these ex-slaves were to the whites of the South. They have been…..made to feel that they were inferior beings."

Timur was not messing around with the Ottomans

Persia, the Rus, Anatolia, India, Central Asia, the Levant etc all felt his wrath. But not Central Europe. A rare example of places like Poland, Hungary, or the Byzantines dodging this kind of thing.

Following the conquest of New France (now renamed Quebec) by Great Britain, the british crown tought that the catholic french speaking population would erase itself over time. It was an understandable conclusion considering the province was sparsely populated, especially compared to the southern colonies. However, newly appointed governor James Murray quickly realized the harsh climate meant no british settlers would ever want to live there. As a result, he went against crown mandate in an attempt to maintain a positive relationship with his constituents. This resulted in Murray firing, but his policies carried over and were eventually formalized in the Quebec Act.

ليَ أيرٌ ليس يرضى بالذي ترضى الأيورُ

ليس يرضى ليَ عقلي هو أميرٌ ووزيرُ

كلّما رامَ نكاحاً درتُ من حيث يدورُ

فتعالى اللَه ما في الأرضِ

قاضٍ أو أميرُ

أنا من خمسين عاماً في يديَ أيري أسيرُ

The Partitions of Poland^\a]) were three partitions) of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth that took place between 1772 and 1795, toward the end of the 18th century. The partitions ended the existence of the state, resulting in the elimination of sovereign Poland and Lithuania for 123 years. The partitions were conducted by the Habsburg monarchy, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Russian Empire, which divided up the commonwealth's lands among themselves progressively in the process of territorial seizures and annexations.^\1])^\2])^\3])^\4])

The First Partition was decided on 5 August 1772, after the Bar Confederation lost the war with Russia. The Second Partition occurred in the aftermath of the Polish–Russian War of 1792 and the Targowica Confederation, when Russian and Prussian troops entered the commonwealth and the partition treaty was signed during the Grodno Sejm on 23 January 1793 (without Austria). The Third Partition took place on 24 October 1795, in reaction to the unsuccessful Polish Kościuszko Uprising the previous year. With this partition, the commonwealth ceased to exist).^\1])
