    Dude that's pretty harsh, they kind of had no means to resist as they were in bondage am I right? I mean when they had the chance they revolted like 3 times against the Romans by the end of the 1st Century AD, with their ultimate defeat resulting after the Bar Kokhba revolt.


    Hmm what about the mongols? They did create one of the largest empires on earth via conquests and wreckless killing.


    Mongols are #2 with the rest of the Steppe people

    Even though they were brutal they were a true warrior people ... and only the Turks, another people originally from the C Asian Steppe, truly defeated them in battle ... Russia got owned ... China got owned (they REALLY got owned lol) ... Persia put up a good fight but they couldn't stop them ... they made the largest land empire ever to date ... I suspect it was actually the largest empire in history

    what they did to the Germans was the turning point of the war ...


    No, what the Russian winter did to the Germans was the turning point of the war. Nature beat Germany more than the Russians themselves did. Russia only beat the Germans back because of the weather and massive numbers of infantry with outdated weapons. They were like ants... you step on the anthill (aka Stalingrad) and a kajillion angry Russians pop out of everywhere... and no matter how many you squash, there's always a kajillion more...

    No, the Turks didn't defeat the Mongols. It was the Egyptians.

    Derp.

    and the fact that the russian civilians even sacrificed themselves in defending their country from the massive german onslaught means nothing? they were also in that cold ... their resilience and steadfastness allowed them to defeat the germans ... hitler never expected that ...

    Doesn't matter. They lived long enough in Egypt to be considered Egyptians. But yeah, their ORIGINS were a mix of Turkish and Arabic.

    That's not true. Egypt is the only African country included in the ME.
