No you see the original six actually refers to the only six teams in the nhl 25 years after it began and the only teams for the next 25 years the original teams were the TORONTO ARENAS, THE ORIGINAL OTTAWA SENATORS, THE CANADIENS, AND THE MONTREAL WANDERERS who only played four games I think

Correct again, havoc, for a total of two points for you.

 

Next Question: the Eastern Roman Empire survived well after the west fell apart. WE all know that the turks invaded, but didn't attack. What group of people officially attacked, looted, and destroyed the empire.

Eh...sorry to be nitpicky, but Havoc's answer isn't exactly correct. H-arms asked for the Greek god. Havoc gave the Roman name for the Greek god Hephaestus, who was the god of the forge.

 

And from what I recall from AP Euro, the Byzantine Empire was destroyed by the Ottoman Turks who laid siege to Constantinople for 50 days. They not only invaded, but they attacked. I don't understand how you can invade a country or a city as important as Constantinople without attacking.

Rogue Nine, I think you are correct; I had the Crusaders as the official killers of Rome, but that is right. Good job in proving me wrong.

 

Compa: Attila died 1000 years before the collapse of the Byzantines. Consequently, the Huns collapesed at the same time.

 

 

One point for Rogue Nine.

 

Next Question: what man united Italy?

There are a number of men that can claim that. I would think it would be Giuseppe Garibaldi. He invaded Sicily in 1860 with his Red Shirts and defeated a force numerically superior to his own, subduing Sicily and Naples. In 1861, The Kingdom of Italy was created when Naples and Sicily were joined with Sardinia under the control of Victor Emmanuel II.
