Right off the bat it's obvious it was written under a Christian bias, otherwise it's hard to fathom how anyone would list the Kingdom of Israel as an important state and neglect ancient historical powers such as Mitanni, Urartu, or even the Phrygian kingdom, not to mention other states such as the Phoenician city-states and Arabian peninsula polities such as the Minaean Kindgom or Saba. It then proceeds to ignore the Median Empire, Lydia, Alexander's successors, Parthia, Carthage, Aksum and the considerable empires built by Mithridates Eupator and Tigran the Great. Saladin's fame in the West warranted his conquests a mention while the empire carved out by his Zengid predecessors is forgotten. The powerful Iranian Muslim empires of Khwarezm, Ghazni, the Samanids and especially the Safavid dynasty - not to mention Nadir Shah's empire - are all but ignored, and so are the Fatimid and Mamluk dynasties of Egypt, various North African Muslim states such as the Almohad and Almoravid dynasties and the Caliphate of Cordoba; the Ilkhanate, Timur's conquests, and various Turkic rivals of the Ottomans such as the White Sheep Turkmen or the Beylik of Karaman. They also start way too late, skipping the Sumerian city-states, Akkad, the Old Babylonian Kingdom, and Elam. No wonder they didn't even try to include Central Asia. Also, the Sassanids established themselves in power before Constantine was even born, so it makes littles sense to show the Byzantine Empire as existing before the Sassanids.

What do you mean?it lasted until now, only the Sinai Peninsula was given to Egypt after 15 years for a peace agreement and it was worth it, they are now doing what Israel and the US tells them.sorry. it didn't last long enough.

Maps of War is nice, but they're very historically inaccurate. Their spread of democracy map is simply riddled with large faults.
Peaceful agreement and government by consent are possible only on the basis of ideas common to all parties; and these ideas must spring from habit and from history. Once reason is introduced, every man, every class, every nation becomes a law unto itself; and the only right which reason understands is the right of the stronger. Reason formulates universal principles and is therefore intolerant: there can be only one rational society, one rational nation, ultimately one rational man. Decisions between rival reasons can be made only by force.
