I don't know, perhaps something to do with greek scholars fleeing the steppeniggers and moving to the richest cities in Europe that were located in Italy and started to invest in the arts and sciences and the fact that muslims now controlled trade with the East and made it very desirable to find a sea route to India

Do you think we will ever return to monarchies?
Modern politics already shows democracy is useless. The majority of people in a nation are too retarded, and should have no say in how the country is run. Society will become stagnant without a supreme governing force capable of enacting laws without worrying about the idiotic masses. Dictators cause too much instability upon succession.
A monarchy can result in shitty leaders from time to time, but it can also produce greats like Charlemagne, Henry VIII, or Louis XIV. It is high time we return to it.

Why wouldn't wealth redistribution every 100 years be a good thing?
Granted there would be shit productivity the final year before the redistribution, but this is a small price to pay in order to get rid of the unfair advantage that rich people pass down to their kids.

Why not just heavily tax everything over a million dollars of lifetime inheritance per inheritor. That is, the tax is not on the estate of the person leaving the inheritance, but on the inheritor on their lifetime inheritance. Trump claims you only need a small loan to be a self made man.

Because more recent wars are more exciting to the general populous, and trench warfare means you'd have to cut out a shit ton of the dull bits to make a cinematic film.

Too depressing most of the time.
A lot of high paced fun happens on eastern front and nobody likes to make movies about slavs and germans.

>The U.S. shipped a total of $50.1 billion (equivalent to $659 billion today) worth of food, oil, and materiel to its allies between 1941 and 1945. In all, $31.4 billion went to Britain, $11.3 billion to the Soviet Union, $3.2 billion to France, $1.6 billion to China, and the remaining $2.6 billion to the other Allies.

I'm saying if Russia or U.S never came to help them could they have won against Germany? I mean they were dominating the skies with their British Spitfire planes, I'm pretty sure they could have lead a air strike on the Germans from the skies. Or do you guys think other-wise?
As always no trolling or flame wars.

Short answer: No
Long answer: No, and would probably have been nuked before long.
>>
You pose two questions.
The one in your title - yes. They had basically done that during the Battle of Britain. Germany had no ways of conducting an invasion of Britain save for Alien Space Bat Magic.
The one in the post body - that's a tough one. And a much more hypothetical one. The British had a greater economy and reserves of both manpower and resources at their disposal than Germany, but around the globe (so what happens with Japan is important) and they would also have to project this force to the mainland.

Why are modern leaders such cowards?
They never go to battle anymore, pick up a riffle or take the wheel in a tank and lead their men into the heat of battle.
When was the last time a president or a prime minister or any head of state for that matter joined his men in the field?
