    Tutankhamun wasn't killed by a hippo. It's a hypothesis, but there are many different ones, and as no official cause of death has yet been determined it should not be spouted as fact. Other possibilities proposed after the same CT-scan which cause the hippo hypothesis include his chariot crashing, and being kicked by a horse. Also, he was indeed not in fine health, as he had a club foot which necessitated the use of a cane and meant that he would ride sit on his knees in the chariot rather than standing up as was the custom, and a cleft palate.

    The 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, commonly known in mainland China as the June Fourth Incident (Chinese: 六四事件, liùsì shìjiàn), were student-led demonstrations in Beijing (the capital of the People's Republic of China) for the establishment of basic human and press rights and against the Communist-led Chinese government in mid-1989. More broadly, it refers to the popular national movement inspired by the Beijing protests during that period, sometimes called the '89 Democracy Movement (Chinese: 八九民运, bājiǔ mínyùn). The protests were forcibly suppressed after Chinese Premier Li Pengdeclared martial law. In what became known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, troops with assault rifles and tanks fired at the demonstrators trying to block the military's advance towards Tiananmen Square. The number of civilian deaths was internally estimated by the Chinese government to be near or above 10,000.

    You jumped a bit here and there with chinese history but first sino-japanese war was against Qing dynasty China which I think is more embarrassing. Chinese Empire got curb stomped by what was once considered a tributary state, Japan. It was also a big deal since China thought "Well those europeans live aaaaaaaalllllll the way over there,but fuck Japan that shit is here."

    Marco Polo died in 1324 just to tickle your pickle on the date.
    With regards to India at that time of the First Opium war (1839) India had some independent states not under the influence of the East India company, the rest of the states were generally ruled by local Raj's, Sultans, Princes etc. Who were essentially paid off by the company.
    Also Qing China is pronounced with a hard Q.
