    What language would the world speak if your country/people hadn't stopped the *?*

    So? I start:

    Without Germans bringing down the Roman empire* we'd all speak Latin today.

    *)If you want to go into a lengthy discussion here about the reasons of the fall of the Roman empire, please start your own thread

    If it weren't for Gustav Vasa, we'd all speak Danish today.

      Without the Dutch competing with the English in the 17/18th century, you'd all be talking English today!
      <Kassiopeia> you don't keep the virgins in your lair at a sodomising distance from your beasts or male prisoners. If you devirginised them yourself, though, that's another story. If they devirginised each other, then, I hope you had that webcam running.

          Without the English helping the Dutch in the 17th century, they'd all be speaking Spanish

            Err...if the danes had stopped the swedes from taking over here we would be speaking danish, and if the swedes wouldn't have stopped the danes from taking it back we would be speaking danish. Now we're speaking, an accent of swedish with danish influence.

                  Without the Greeks stopping the Persians in the 5th century BC, all europe would be speaking Farsi today (and believe in Mithra).

                  Without the Greeks stopping the Arabs in the 8th century AD, all (Eastern)Europe would be speaking Arabic today (and believe in Allah).

                  Without the Greeks holding (partially) off the Turks between 1071 and 1453, the Turks wouldn't have stopped in Vienna and all Europe would be speaking Turkish today and would be eating kebabs...

                      I don't know if any of those mediterranean civs would want to come to the north, harsh climate and not much people. And hairy brutish vikings to boot.

                        If we hadn't sponsored the Saudi & Iranian Mujahedin in Bosnia, and rewarded KLA & PLO terrorism against Serbia and Israel, there would be less chance of all having to speak Arabic tomorrow.
