History has shown that the only solution to political problems was technology.
- toyg 10y agoI'm curious to learn what the technological solution was to the XVI century religious wars across Europe.
- gpderetta 10y agothe Iron Maiden, clearly.
- _pdp_ 10y agoNot historian but I would imagine it was the agricultural revolution. :)
- petre 10y agoIt was the Renaissance and the French Revolution. And yes, the printing machine helped the spread of ideas. But so did Voltaire, Thomas Paine, the Quakers, etc. You cannot have progress and freedom without humanistic disciplines.
- wu-ikkyu 10y agoNot sure about a technological solution, but the technological cause of the 16th religious wars was arguably the printing press.

- toyg 10y agoYup, the cause. The solutions were all political.
