Though I am gone, war has not stopped.

I wish it was over. So my little Italy wouldn't have to fight anymore. He's really not cut out for it. And it's so advanced and kind of scary these days, I certainly wouldn't want to be fighting in wars like these. And I was the greatest there was. But there will always be war. Always. Man has been fighting since the dawn of time and they will probably be fighting till its twilight end.

I watch them. The countries of today bicker and fight. It's certainly not how it used to be. Marching armies across great distance and invading when you felt like it haha, those were the days.

I mean, I suppose you can still do that… I've seen countries attack other countries… but the counter attack is quite fearsome. Why attack in the first place knowing that was the outcome? It's crazy! All these modern day countries would be better off not fighting anymore at all!

And I'm sure if nation avatars had their say, there wouldn't be anymore fighting… but they don't. While they are human to an extent they are not actually human. We are not humans. We have human emotions, thoughts, feelings, and we even look human. But we are not. Simply the land in a human form, here to carry out the will of the people. We feel it when people die. Wars hurt us. We can be harmed by human weapons, but not killed by them. Not permanently… the only permanent scars we gain is the loss of land. The loss of a battle.

It's crazy now, what I see. I wish they would stop… so Feli and his potato friend could live peacefully. That little piano player could just play, and no longer fight. He's not good at it anyway. I wish wars could stop so that that little former empire and his shinning star of a former colony could get along. Four thousand year old China is probably tired. To tired for war anymore.

But war rages on. And it always has.

And I'd like to tell you those tales of war. I hope that my heavenly musings will find there way to someone and they read it all. See past mistakes repeats in history and put an end to it all. I do. But I know that will never happen. All the same…

Let's see… where to start.

It only makes sense to start with the oldest of us all. From a tale I have only heard. Now, it's not the first war, but it's as far back as I can go I'm afraid. But let's start here, and we'll work our way up, shall we?

Now. The first war I shall tell you about is the Battle of Zhuolu. Now, most don't believe that this war happened. Anything back from this century is considered a legend. But for arguments sake, just go with it.

-Roman Empire-

~A/N

ERM…. Maybe I should try and finish something before starting a ridiculous project like this, seeing as all my hetalia fics are ridiculously long projects. -slams head against keyboard- Damn plots.

What is this exactly? Well. Roman Empire going over the wars. The beginning and endings will be him narrating but he wont be doing the whole thing. It'll be from countries points of view. And it will be All wars. No one gets skipped over. Or, I'll try not to skip any wars.

I'm a big history buff, and I've been selling myself short when it comes to Hetalia fics because I think I'll royally screw up. So we'll see.

But do note, I'm not trying to offend anyone. Just writing wars via Hetalia characters. I love dark Hetalia. I've seen lovely fan art of Hetalia warfare, and that one scene in the actual show with the revolution. US leaving the UK and all that. Love it. I want more of that. But we'll never get it. Just jokes. Which is good, but it's annoying to me, at times…

This fic will be graphic, bloody, and all that jazz. It's war. I will also do my best to keep pairings out of this unless it's history cannon. Hungary x Austria for example. But I love yaoi a lot. But I will control myself. Scouts honor.

So we'll see how this goes. Hope you enjoyed and come along for the ride.

I have a lovely bata, but I didn't want to bother her with this little thing. It's all three am. The rest of my chapters will be beta'd so they wont be so atrocious.
