After five years of carnage, the Syrian civil war seems poised to go on indefinitely. But the “cessation of hostilities” engineered by the U.S. and Russia may actually stand a chance, in part because of the weakness of the mainstream rebels fighting President Bashar Assad. The so-called Free...

Good; an excellent political victory for Japan, and towards Japanese independent foreign policy. A more entrenched Manila with Tokyo will be utilized to soften relations between Beijing and Manila and Tokyo will play conduit role to this. :) Soon the Naval Base to be built in Oyster Bay in...

They didn't try because it wasn't politically relevant to them (i.e. The Emperor wasn't interested). Chinese dynasties preferred a tributary network instead of European or Pan-Arabic style colonisation. This reasoning worked well enough considering the key motivation for Europeans traders to...
