Never in 350 years have so many men and women from all walks of life come together to make a final stand against pure EVIL.
Who sent out that tweet, and why 350 years?

As far as A STAND AGAINST EVIL — how about the OTTOMAN Empire?
The Great Turkish War (German: Großer Türkenkrieg) or the War of the Holy League (Turkish: Kutsal was a series of conflicts between the Ottoman Empire and the Holy League consisting of the Habsburg Monarchy, Poland-Lithuania, Venice and Russia.
After a few years of peace, the Ottoman Empire, encouraged by successes in the west of the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth, attacked the Habsburg Monarchy.
The Turks almost captured Vienna, but John III Sobieski led a Christian alliance that defeated them in the Battle of Vienna (1683), stalling the Ottoman Empire’s hegemony in south-eastern Europe.
A new Holy League was initiated by Pope Innocent XI and encompassed the Holy Roman Empire (headed by Habsburg Austria), PolishLithuanian Commonwealth and the Venetian Republic in 1684,[2] joined by Russia in 1686.
The second Battle of Mohács (1687) was a crushing defeat for the Sultan. The Turks were more successful on the Polish front and were able to retain Podolia during their battles with the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth.
Russia’s involvement marked the first time the country formally joined an alliance of European powers. This was the beginning of a series of Russo-Turkish Wars, last of which was World War I. As a result of the Crimean campaigns and Azov campaigns, Russia captured the key Ottoman fortress of Azov.
