Mr. Tredinnick's principles of World History
#1 England wins History
#2 France Always loses
    Exception: When led by a non-frenchMAN or fighting along with allies
#3 Don't mess with Asia!
#4 Italy Always Loses
    Exception: Rome, and when fighting the French
#5 The country with the simpler uniform wins
#6 The more power they have, the crazier/more paranoid they get
#7 What works in one area will not always work everywhere
#8 The bigger you get, the more people hate you
#9 "isms" are dangerous, the only thing more dangerous is Religion
