Riddle of Ages: Travelling Through History

[Sonereal]

Not according to my VM.

yup its the Red Khmers.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Well you said it was open floor anyways, so I didn't validate yours, it was originally the VC but the Khmer Rouge also fitted in perfectly so I said yours was correct to.

 

[Sonereal]

Two points for Sonereal.

 

[Terrance888]

The historical event was when Sonereal proved via VM that the answer was indeed Khmer rouge and not Vietcong. Namely, the Sonereal Two Point Gain occuring on December 12, 2011.

 

[Optical]

Open floor, is it? I'll have something up in a second.

 

[Optical]

Orders to sweep the world
An unexpected death
To return or remain to whence they came?
The chance gone when they finally left

 

[W|M]

The conquests and death of Genghis/Ögedei Khan

 

[Optical]

Too easy. :/

Specifically, the end of Tsubodai's push into the West.

 

[W|M]

Open Floor.

 

[Milarqui]

OK, let's see...

They broke the back
Of the Moon
They were the winged horses
That could not fly
They broke the back
Of the Moon
That did not live
In the sky

Polish Hussars in the Battle of Vienna

 

[Milarqui]

Polish Hussars in the Battle of Vienna

Damn. That was REALLY fast.

 

[mayor]

now you know how I felt with the Spartans

Well, It took me a couple of minutes before I realised that the winged horse wasn't a mentioning of Pegasus (I read the next line wrong )

Riddle coming up

 

[mayor]

A divided joint venture
Had set their sights
On those few from the hills
That came to preserve
But a leader was a fool
A legend was a coward

 

[Terrance888]

Jamestown? Too obvious?

 

[mayor]

I don't know that battle

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Is it linked to the VoC

 

[mayor]

as in Verenigde Oosindische Compagnie? no, It's closer to Terrance's guess

 

[Bowsling]

French West Indies bubble and burst. Courtesy of a convicted Scottish murderer.

 

[mayor]

nope, but I like the way you think
