Sultan von Brunei feiert 80. Geburtstag mit großer Parade
Zum 80. Geburtstag gibt es für Bruneis Sultan eine große Parade. Zwar ist die politische Freiheit der Bevölkerung in dem südostasiatischen Staat stark eingeschränkt - dennoch ist der Alleinherrscher beliebt. Von Jennifer Johnston.

Did you know that #climate played a part in finishing the 'Long #Turkish War'?
The #Ottoman Empire had battled with the Habsburgs & Co since 1526. In 1593, another 13 years of war ended in the only #Treaty that made the Habsburg #monarch & the Ottoman #sultan equals.
The 'Little Ice Age' had taken hold of #Europe in the late 16th c.; droughts & cold caused failed harvests & livestock deaths.
The Ottomans had had strong birth rates in the unusually warm period prior to the Little Ice Age & were now paying the price.
There was #famine, rinderpest & #rebellions. This resulted in a weakened Ottoman state.
The Empire was simply not prepared to withstand another defensive effort.
They recovered enough by 1669 to conquer #Crete & continue the war(s), all the way to 1791.

One of the lies #fairytales told us was how the #monarchy functioned. He's an all powerful dictator that most people just do what he says, never mind that he's propped up by lords and nobles below him he has to maneuver politically with and keep contented.
Even #Aladdin got this wrong, "Am I #Sultan or am I Sultan? From now on the princess may choose whoever she deems worthy" Um hold on one second my dude, pretty sure you have to get the approval of the lords and they will certainly not like some street rat pouching a top position of power they could have just because the princess decides she's horny for him. -

The Pressure On The Sultan Of Brunei To Give Up The Throne
Brunei może być jednym z najbogatszych narodów świata, ale problemy finansowe dotknęły nawet dom królewski. Sułtan podjął ostatnio kroki w kierunku częściowej demokracji. Jednak to od niego zależy, czy ją wprowadzi, czy też nie. Dlaczego wykonał ruch w tym kierunku, a potem go porzucił?
