Chinese history: Wang Mein rises to power in an uprising, 9999 billion die
European History: Hans Boden-Pfeffer-Elcair-Stew-Cathador-Selim-Vodkavich the third Marries Mary Bacalau-Schimitar-Surstromming-Eski the fifth, and they go on to create the royal house of Hapsbergenson, and create the dutchy of Hole that has 3 Peasants.
