Of course, travel and transportation of goods and troops, and thus territorial control has been just as easy in the 9th century as it has been in the 19th. :rolleyes:

You have got to be joking, you are talking about a kingdom that covered a couple of countries in Europe to one that spanned four continents?
The difference is, ancient Moravians weren't colonizing other cultures forcibly to gain more land. Much. Unless they've had to defend themselves.
The difference is, sailing wasn't so developed back in 9th-10th century, especially not for mainlanders.
The difference is that Moravians were much more cultured people in 9th-10th century than the "barbarians" living on British islands.
The difference is, the times were completely different.

He's just pissed that they don't hold Moravian Olympics.
Nah, that would be Greek cultural colonization! :D

Who cares about past empires, it's also funny how easy people go to the US's throat for their foreign policy but when it comes to their own country and an empire that makes them very proud, they can do no wrong.

We gave it up; it became too expensive to maintain, and empire-building had become so passé, even the Germans and French were doing it.
Yes it's still GREAT britain... :rolleyes:
But one thing's for sure: riots in western Europe do not usually end in genocide. 200 killed in a riot or a political conflict would be unthinkable in these states, if you like it or not.
Even one dead person would be scandalous.

No, it was right the first time. Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain is also Queen of Canada, so Canadians are her subjects.
