I’ve been reading about Japanese history lately and I found out about Onna-Bugeisha. Do you know about them?
|
|
I know about them since my mother is half-Japanese. They are the female version of the samurai of the 200 A.D. It was believed that Empress Jingu became the first Onna-Bugeisha after leading a battle against Korea. |
|
Cool! Onna-Bugeisha even fought along with samurais during battles. By the way, I think the greatest civilization is the Mesopotamian. Humans in this era built waterways for their economic needs. What do you think is the greatest civilization in the world?

Majority of world historians considers Alexander the Great as the greatest explorer and military leader of all time. He has greatly influenced the world during his time in less than two decades. At a young age, Alexander was educated by a famous philosopher, Aristotle. After the death of his father, he ruled his father’s kingdom at age twenty. He then expanded his father’s armies, innovated new battle techniques, and led them in conquering the Persian Empire. His conquests led him to victories not just in Persian territories, but as well as in Syria, in Egypt, and in Asia Minor. He introduced Greek culture to people of these territories the same way Aristotle taught him. Because of his successful expeditions, the Greek civilization was as one of the greatest civilization in history.
