civil wars organised by an internationalist cartel who lend money to the leaders of each side and pick the winner to be the most tyrannical one that will make expanding to an empire easier

No we don&t need an internationalist cartel to kill each other. This is our national sport. It can help though...
Greece, right? Pffft, you guys haven't had a non-foreign-sponsored civil war since about 1400 unless I'm greatly mistaken...
yup, been a resort country for 1 and a half imperial epochs
You mean 1400 before christ was born, right? 😀
Well, from Constantinople you guys were doing most of the sponsoring, for a while :D
The first history book written (by Thucydides) in a scientific way, is about the peloponesian war between Sparta and Athens... whoever hasn't read it, should read it. It is a gem and you will find it incredebly familiar with what is going on nowdays. I promise...
I actually read some of that in high school.
And?
High school is a ways back, for me. 😂 Just remember vaguely that I read it.
Yeah right. But the fact that you read a part in the high school says something, i think. You can find it as a study material in universities too and not because it is the first sych book but for the actual political content.
We had a classical literature year, in GT English. 11th grade, I think. Ended with the Iliad and the Odyssey and Jason and the Argonauts, but we also had some histories and philisophy.
Yes nice stories too, but there is a difference in the analysis. A huge one. I guess if you will start re-reading something you will see what i mean.
We had the know how sice millenium already 😀
