With google and wikipedia at your finger tips, why are you asking in a gaming forum?

Because copy and pasting from Wikipedia will set off anti-plagiarism programs. If someone summarizes it here and it's copy and pasted the wording will be different enough to avoid that.

Who said anything about copy and pasting? It's called researching your subject. Getting others to do your work is also not a valid technique. Your post is very revealing.

If you had read more carefully you'd have noticed that MSH is not the OP of this thread. Your post is very revealing as well

Geographical causes? Greed, bloodlust, petty politics, and religion. You know, the usual.

Indeed, my post is intended to have implications, but not about me.

Bah! I wish I'd been here yesterday so the hillari- er, valuable opportunity to post a legitimate looking summary with a few glaring anachronisms buried in it hadn't passed me by.

Totally wanted to toss out there how it all boiled down to Oliver Cromwell being from the East Side Crew, and them having some turf battles with Charles I and his Hop-Scotch Posse.

You tricked me OP.  Don't get people's hopes up like that.

Heh. That was my first thought as well, before I read the OP.

I started reading this thread fully expecting a discussion of the English Civil War and some good old fashioned Roundheads vs Cavaliers goodness*, or failing that a thread on the War of the Roses with a misapplied title and some "dual wielding knights were real, well ok, turns out maybe not" goodness. I will also admit that I dared hope that I might stumble across a thread where the very nature of the words war and English were being calling into question, perhaps being toyed with in new and interesting ways. Now I am sad.

*/Warning:Patriotism/ Yay for England for having a written bill of rights* and winning a war to cast off the shackles of the tyrannical King of England**! Yay for us doing this 125*** years before the USA existed!/Warning:Patriotism/

**Not only did we win our war against the a tyrannical king of England, we cut of his head, too. Or, in modern parlance, "fucked his shit up good". 

***Ok, I accept that we only had a Bill of Rights 88 years before the Deceleration of Independence, but still.

Patriotism is ugly.

Yay for celebrating the adoption of your bill of rights by launching a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Irish!  Although to be fair the US celebrated the bill of rights by launching such a campaign against the Indians.

...  Is there some sort of god of human rights that demands blood sacrifice whenever you seal a contract?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

No. People just have this tendency to simultaneously do great things and horrible things. It's all within the context of their own lives as well, and thus something that no one else can never fully understand.

Without the English Channel, they would all have been conquered by the Romans easier.
