Wtf where did you read the average life expectancy was 18 years??? We literally wouldn't exist today.

@@mongke7858 Search average life expectancy in 2000 B.C. I mean imagine that many children didn't make it more than 10 years and slaves (which were mostly young ) died also very early. There were also many diseases . For example if you caught seasonal flu then you had a very low chance of surviving. That's why I am always thankful for what we have now . All those things that the West achieved the past 2-3 centuries have given us comfortable lives .

@@captainvanisher988 No I get it but if you remove miscarriage and infant mortality, normal people usually died in their 50's and 60's. You could live longer but it was rare. Also back then you say diseases were very dangerous because of bad medicine, this is also true but at the same time the likelyhood of contracting a contaigious disease is lower compared today because of less population density and less commerce.

@Nasim Whitehouse1 if you made it past your 5th birthday you were expected to live to your mid 30s in ancient Egypt. 19/18 was the expectancy given to new borns because most would die before the age of 5. So it isnt a matter of everyone died young and some got lucky, but rather everyone lived longer lives but some got unlucky.

Of course, in this hypothetical scenario, it would be a more or less loose confederate multiethnic representative constitutional parlamentary monarchy, with a common sovereign, in the same vein of the personal union under the Commonwealth of Nations framework. Better than the UE in any case! In that regard, similarly, Germany could reinstate the Kaiser, be it in the Holy Roman structure or the post-1871 Kaiserreich political union.

Hernando Malinche, sure. It was a mistake. Maybe the Serbian government should have duly prevented the anarchist activist from murdering the archduke or should have punished him accordingly in order to stall the march toward war. A chain of mistakes were made from various stakeholders.

@Hernando Malinche Thing is, nobody expected back then that things would spiral out of control THAT badly. Most expected a short, decisive war. It's just that in the previous decades a series of co-dependent military alliances were made, which is turn kick off a domino effect and through everyone in Europe being someone else ally and rival, soon everyone was in on it. And by then, every nation was too deep into their propaganda and coffers to justify a peace treaty without some significant gains... which didn't happen for a long time, since trench warfare became the norm.

It is debatable because the Monarchy of Japan is both constitutional and non-constitutional in nature. By tradition, the non-constitutional aspect, Hirohito was the Emperor, by virtue of direct lineage dating back to antiquity, from 1926 to 1989. However, Japan created some legal complications in 1868 when they added a layer of Constitutionalism with the Meiji Restoration. Technically, the Emperor assumed a new title, Emperor of the Empire of Japan, that had not legally existed before the Constitution of 1868. Internationally, it is this title that Hirohito assumed in 1926, not simply his title of Emperor as per Japanese tradition. Where it gets even more complicated is that in 1947, the Empire of Japan was formally dissolved, its constitution replaced by a new one, and so technically, the Emperor of the Empire of Japan ceased to be, because the state it represented ceased to be. Hirohito assumed a new title, Emperor of the State of Japan, which he held until 1989. Thus, if you count his monarchical title as Emperor per Japanese tradition only, he held that single title for 63 years. However, if you track his titles through the constitutional thrones he sat upon, he only held one title for 21 years and then another for 42 years. However, all that said, it can be argued that because of certain treaties made before the Meiji Restoration of 1868, foreign powers such as China, Britain, and Portugal had formally recognized the title of Emperor (as per Japanese tradition) as a legal entity, and therefore the Constitutional thrones are just legal constructs of little relevance. So Hirohito could be considered to have held three different titles of Emperor: one he held continuously between 1926 and 1989. Another he held only from 1926 to 1947. The last was only from 1947 to 1989. I can see why the channel declined to include him because lawyers just have to ruin everyone's fun.

Im sure there is some vampire king who has been on the throne for like 1400 years.

@@3John-Bishop There are some Japanese tales suggesting that the divine Kami that the Imperial Family claims blood lineage to contains both good and evil characteristics, and so that the mortal offspring thus may have more sinister aspects that are carefully hidden. After all, Husband to the Sun Goddess Amaterasu is Tsukuyomi, the God of Night, and he outright murdered another god because he was disgusted by how it produced a gift for a party. Who knows what Hirohito did on a New Moon, when the power of Tsukuyomi was greatest and Amaterasu weakest?

@@genericpersonx333 Husbansd? You're wrong Tsukuyomi was not Amaterasu's husband, but his brother, so much that his sex is uncertain.
