@Eagle027 When I speak about democracy I mean the concept and the ideal that a man exists primarily as citizen, as an organic part of the city (a term that in greek - πόλις - refers not to a great settlement but to a certain political way of existence). For the Greeks, even the cities that had kings, had assemblies of citizens (Apella etc) that had the right to pass laws.
Of course the ancient Chinese had slaves too.

@Lhein33 Only one city state Athens was a democracy. China was united early history, Xia dynasty Greece wasn't. There were plenty of Greek slaves, ever heard of the Spartan helots. Maybe you should study history more before you make a further fool of yourself.

@Eagle027 China and the greco-roman world were both very important. It's quite stupid to say that the second was dwarfed by the first, though. When the Chinese people didn't have the right to write the ideogram that represented their emperor, the greek people had a culture of democracy & a mentality that gave them the right to say: "Greeks are not called slaves or minions of anyone" (Aeschylus).

@Zeubermench You know not many people take pride in their ignorance, you are the exception. Alexander's so called Empire was dwarfed by China, and certainly was scientifically and culturally inferior. "I don't know about it, so it don't exist" complete idiots. No wonder Europe is in decline. Before long you'll be back in mud huts.

@JossJossJoss1 Masters, Ancient History bub :) Obviously U seem to Not know the "Depth" of them or one would realize the extensive differences. Save the pseudo intelligent front Plz don't flatter urself, its youtube not a fucking grammard essay.. I'm sure I've "forgot more than u will ever know" on the subject & in general lol. Tautological? nah pacified describes what was inflicted, submissive state describes there position. Propagated? hardly, Propitiated is appropriate, u waste my time, Bye.

@JossJossJoss1 Assimilated by Established Governance Taxes/ Laws Roman way of life & Language propitiated, The diff is ppl Rome conquered were “Romanized”. A Sophisticated Civilization unparalleled. Professional Army,Government,Science,Engineering,Medicine,Technology, alot borrowed but perfected. Any region worth anything in the known world it conquered. Any other 2nd rate power was pacified & in a submissive state. No other could rise against her, It Truly "controlled" the World. Mongols? No
