does anybody else believe that we have reached the "end of history"? I honestly believe that philosophies such as globalism, internationalism and Marxism have severely slowed down the refining of cultures, occurrence of conflicts, aswell as the development of news schools of thought. I think there may eventually be a complete stop in human development, an "end to history".Similar to neitzche's "final man".

Why didn't Europeans settle in their African (except for SA) or South Asian colonies? Climate shouldn't be a factor. If they managed to settle in places like Australia or Brazil they could've also done this in Nigeria or Indonesia.

Had war with France not broken out in 1794 and the British continued plans to create and support an Indian barrier state following St. Clair's Defeat, could it have halted American expansion West? Or would it just be a matter of time until the Americans encroached and took over their western forts?

Greetings friends . lately i have decided to expand on my knowledge of roman history and was wondering whether anyone here could recommend a sort of an anthology that would cover the entirety of roman history from 753ish B.C. to 395 A.C. in full detail. To be more specific guys i want all the raw information detailing absolutely everything there is to know about Rome. Consider that your consulting a person who wants to write a book about the given matter.
