In short, invading through Switzerland was one idea Germans had but with logistics of that time, the problem of Swiss army and terrain that idea was discarded.
Invading via sea was always hard as fuck, especially against a prepared enemy. And we're talking about early 20th century here.
>>
But they did, OP. An amphibious landing was considered.

As for violating the neutrality of Switzerland, that one was not.

I really should be, but with Nolan being english, I'm deathly afraid that the movie might devolve into something akin to: "hell yeah, we brits did it alone ;)! Anglo power mah man! where were the french where we needed them? "miracle" of Dunkirk yeah!" and those sorts of english propaganda.

History will probably remember Stalingrad or the Normandy Invasions the longest.

One because of it's impact and the other because of it's well the largest invasion of all time in a war where beach landings had been one disaster after the next.

If I could Holodeck only one it would probably be Kursk.

A lot of powerful nations and cultures were centered around flatland river systems and deltas, but how did Greece or Iran manage it with lands as mountainous and hemmed in as theirs? How did they manage to dominate places like Egypt and Mesopotamia and not have it be the other way around?

Tough environments require higher levels of organization and social experimentation and hierarchy to survive. In the Americas the lush lands were full of tribeshits and the deserts and mountains were advanced organized societies.

Iranian plateau on the highlands are relatively flat, its not as rocky or mountainous as Greece. But the natural borders of extremely hot deserts, mountain ranges on its borders, and steppe elevated highlands as well as relatively isolated presence until the 8th century BC gave it time to be ignored by other powers in Mesopotamia and the Levant; and that and the the Elamite state was usually the focus of foreign invaders while the Persians, Medes, and other Indo-Iranian people were still pastoral and semi-nomadic and not worth bothering about.

Firstly, 4000BC-1900CE is a ridiculous timeframe. It's going to be skewed, favouring more recent history.

But Paris had one of medieval Europe's leading universities.
It's far north enough not to have been dominated by religion in the way much of southern Europe was.
After the French Revolution it attracted pioneers and progressive minds etc. Seriously, that image is way too distorted by the 19th century to take seriously.

Why is Jainism almost a dead religion while Buddhism and Hinduism have flourished and spread?

Is it because Jainism is so hard to practice?

It is older than both Hinduism and Buddhism. It's the oldest religion in the world according to archeological evidences.

Really? I have always thought that it came about at the exact same time as Buddhism and that the founder and Buddha even met each other at some point.

The probable reason for its unpopularity is that it is so hard to practice for anyone who doesn't live in a monastery.
