South and Southeast Asia are finally on the list! #deathtoeurocentrism

KHMakerD

Bruh, trolling. Keep it on the list even if it doesn't win.

Christopher Smith

Hmmmmm, such a tricky choice! They all sound good.

William Lao

I don't know any of these people... I'd love to learn about them all!

Jim Land

For those who haven't seen Justinian part II check it out. Khosrow getting his own series would be awesome

Alex Purchase

Come on Khmer empire. I know nothing about it but would love to learn.

Alex Purchase

Although that is a long time to cover.

theanimangagirl

Khmer because I was curious when mentioned in 'The History of the World, I guess '

Shaun Hentchel

Khosrow really does deserve his own series. Here's to the philosopher king!

MrBreaksIt

C'mere and vote for Khmer.

Colin

All of these are great! I love learning about topics outside of European history, so seeing so many featured here is really exciting for me!

Nessf

Man. This one's hard. I think for the first time I'm actually going "All of them!"

Aaron Neumann

I'm still surprised that Fredrick der Grosse (Fredrick the Second)of Prussia is still being passed over, but someone being called 'The Grand Old Man of India' sounds VERY interesting to say the least.

Mornathel

Cmon Khusrow, I want to learn about the Sassanid Persians and learn how to troll the Byzantine empire at the same time!

Martin Verran

So too did I, because hopefully that way I will avoid the disappointment of backing the losing Horse again. [again I don't mean my real Horse; old Dolly is a bit long in the Tooth now and does everything in One of Three speeds: Slow, slower, and stop. It's an expression.] That and I've really wanted an Indian Extra History since I joined Patreon. It's a pity I didn't get around to updating my PURR-ledge in the End. 😉

SparkyDJM1

Hmm, such a great choice. I think I'll vote for all of them and hope we get a four way tie! Sorry, EC, but we really want all of them!

Michael Waisfeld

I guess I'm just still too salty over Emperor Valerian to vote for the Sassanids

William Warren

Woo, my topic about the Khmer empire for chosen ^^ but good round overall, happy with all these choices :)

David May

Fingers crossed someone recommends Michael Collins or William Wallace one day (lol)

Kieran Elliott

As much as Khostow sounds awesome, here's hoping on going a bit further afield.

Moarice

Man, it's really a tight matchup between Khosrow and the Khmer. Literally 1 vote away from each other by the time I voted.

Peter Melling

Khosrow is too close to Europe for my tastes. I'd worry about having another Suleiman situation on our hands, with the crew writing about a non-European from a decidedly Eurocentric POV. With the Khmer Empire, there's less of a risk of that happening.

Peter Melling

Whatever you guys do, consult an expert in the field to give you a bibliography.

Favio Ferreira

Don't know any of these people, but the title "A Master Class in Trolling" has my interest piqued.

Brian Rose

As cool as he may be, I'm kind of hoping Khosrow doesn't win, since he was already touched on back in the Justinian and Theodora series; other parts of history (like Poland and Southest Asia) need love too.

Brian Rose

Just going by a glance at Wikipedia, I think focusing on the 12th and/or 13th Centuries would be a good place to start.

Brian Rose

I do remember that! It's why I kind of don't want him to win (see comment below)

Christina Maria Jessen

I need a moment to think about this. I don't really know anything about any of these and they're all well off the beaten path, which makes them interesting and worthwhile as far as I'm concerned. I think I might skip Boleslav since early medieval kingdom founders generally interest me less than late medieval and renaissance state builders. Probably just my modern day bias speaking and not understanding the greatness of medieval kingdoms.

Martin Verran

Well no it doesn't. It's basically because we cannot choose a Favourite out of this lot, hence the decision to Vote for all of them.

Brian Rose

Even if you can't pick a favorite, and even if they all look good, I would still try to see if at least one of them not to vote for; otherwise, yeah it pretty much does make the vote meaningless.

Brian Rose

Try finding at least one to not vote for; even if you love all of them, and even if you can't pick a favorite...
