Although I'm not sure if this isn't because Europe has more written history than the other places.
- paganel 3y agoThe other regions of Europe don’t include that big of a timespan, from 400-500 BCE to the contemporary era. The only exception is the Italian peninsula and its Northern region (the Po Plain). That’s what also made a guy like Byron to fight and die at Missolonghi, doing it on some desolate field in Northern France or present-day Belgium would have meant nothing for him.
- pvg 3y agoByron didn't fight there and died of disease, not combat.
