Not sure, but there are instances of farmers becoming the emperor of the most economically powerful state on earth (before 1600)

>Freud
Most over rated "intellectual" of the 20th century, hands down. All of Freud's good writings can be condensed to a single not card. All of his awful writings could fill a moderately sized book collections. In fact, I would argue that the more fruitful developments in the field of psychology came from people actively and purposefully working to dispel the nonsense Freud wrought.
and don't even get me started on his projections

Is the Late Bronze Age Collapse the closest we have for a historical precedent of an apocalyptic, total collapse of society, law, and order?

No, because only Greece and Anatolia collapsed and Anatolians still kept using Luwian hieroglyphs

If not the Late Bronze Age Collapse, though, what historical precedent do we have? Is there no good precedent?

He didnt imply Suleiman wasn't magnificent, he just told you why he was. He was because he claimed to be and people believed him.

As we all know refugees is a hot topic issue these days. But this made me wonder how countries, kingdoms and empires in the past dealt with refugees.
To my knowledge the earliest known example is Germans fleeing to Rome because of Atilla the hun, and after that records are mixed. Some claim that Roman mistreated the Germans which lead to revolts, other say the Germans where nothing but problem.
So how has people in the past handled the refugee question?

The UK sent lots of people affected by bombings in both world wars to places like Canada, Australia and even South Africa.
>>
>>3100311
But what about people fleeing Germany and wanted to enter the UK?
>>
>>3100305
Often during wars refugees have come into other empires or countries and historically there isn't much the recieving empire can do to stop them. They either set up camps and things (like they do today) and live, or start living in the empire the settled in as normal. Typically the second choice only occurs in larger empires where the government isnt centralized.

Are there any modern, living great generals on par great ones of old?
I realize war has changed in many ways, but have there been any military accomplishments done more recently that were mostly attributed to a single good leader?
Pic related is the first one that came to mind, but I'm not even sure if he counts.

Could the Crusaders have conquered the whole middle-east or dare I even say the whole world if it wasn't for the Byzantine Greeks holding them back with their betrayals and lack of will?
