Definitely makes sense, I don't know enough of this kind of history.
I kinda wrote history as a subject off because all my schools focused on wars and not much else. So "history" felt like a bunch of wars and almost all of them were some variation of people in power wanting to show off their micro PPs with a few important revolutionary wars sprinkled in where the common people got sick of the people in power.
So I'm lacking in my "important details of history" knowledge that really help frame conditions as they are now. Appreciate the info, gonna go look up more.
