The same can be said of Jesus Christ, my friend.

Significant enough for a small country like SL. It is a shame that Cholas couldn't subdue it. I saw the picture of Chola conquest by it is shame to say that they couldn't subdue SL completely. Held only on to the major city centers until they got the proper beating.

Sinhalese has always beat Tamils.

Nope, we rule from South India to SE Asia, u ruled part of a island LOL.
And u mean that Sinhalese, Chinese and Pakistanis kill tamil civilians.

Well that is our island and not to mention Sinhalese expedition several years later which has driven away the remaining Cholas from Madurai and installed Pandya prince to the throne. Not to mention renaming Rameswaram as Lankapura.

Suleiman the Magnificent
1. His conquest of most of southeastern Europe
2. His impressive siege of Vienna , Central Europe
3. His patronage of the arts during his reign led to the 'Turkish Renaissance'
4. His humbling of the Shi'a Safavid Dynasty
5. The Military under him was second to none..in the world.

Wonderful Choice, How you approached that Guy?? Your & @AUSTERLITZ seemz me EQUIVALENT in knowledge of History. I have one Story about Him (true or False i dont know) Plz correct me...If me WRONG
Siege of Vienna begins in 1529, But they failed to capture the city Bcoz Winters were approaching fast, their Time selection was wrong, Heavy Rain cause Way slippery & Many large-cannons and artillery pieces became hopelessly bogged down, leaving Suleiman no choice but to abandon them, On way back to Istanbul they left everything outside wall of Vienna(to leave the city quickly) which INCLUDE one item COFFEE, which Turk Army use most of time to make themselves warm,, THAT WAS THE FIRST EVER INTRODUCTION OF COFFEE FOR EUROPEANS
