Whatever shitty aboriginal society would be far better compared to the fucking scum that is known as the Australian. Seriously, the Brits should of just relocated their prisoners to the bottom of the sea instead of putting them on their own island. FUCK OFF AUSTRALIA.

We used to send them to the 13 colonies, but after 1776 we couldn't anymore.
The independence of the US directly resulted in the creation of Australia.

The east empire was at least 1st world. The hugest mistake was the change from republic to empire which led to this mess.

Washington not declaring an himself King after winning independence for America.
An American Empire to rival the British would have assured Anglo dominance of all the world as Cecil Rhodes dreamed.

They could have got busy in america, while we did out stuff in Africa and Asia. Brining the light of democracy and western values to all corners of Earth.

The Poles didn't hold Klosterneuburg or Wiener Neustadt, we did, without them poland could have sent a million men and couldn't have crossed the Kahlberg.

and that whole war wasn't even about protecting christendom, it was a normal turf war, the catholic French were allied with the Turks during that war.

Are you fucking kidding? That move ensured that the Empire wouldn't collapse as a whole when the Barbarians invaded, and ensured that the east would survive for another 1000 years.

Actually Kara Mustafa was a very convenient enemy. He had both time and men to make earthworks from Danube to Dornbach, and had he made them, there'd be no fucking way to bring help to Starhemberg in time. Even if Lithuanians came in time.

Nope. They invaded because they were being pushed south by the Invading Huns. The Empires weakness was not primarily due to the split, but due to the fact they stopped using Slaves and treated everyone as equals, thus undermining the base of their economy.
