As a former Masters Degree Historical Theology student this is really a long time coming.
If you look at Jewish, Muslim and my favorite Lithuanian history during these times you would be shocked at how awesome it was.
- s_baby 11y agoWhen I think of those three in the middle ages I think of Lithuanians being captured and castrated by Jews then sold into slavery to Muslims. So awesome.
- cb18 11y agoInteresting, what are some the standout awesomeness from these cultures in your opinion? What about Lithuanian history from this time makes it your favorite? I'm vaguely familiar with mathematical development in the Islamic Golden Age.
- baldfat 11y agoLithuania really was an amazing society. Lithuania for a time was the largest state in Europe. 1) Co-operation with Poland where the two countries partnered successfully for a long time and than out neccesity. Prior to that they partnered with Ruthenian (Ukraine and Belarus) were the majority of the feudal rural workers were free. 2) Freedom of Religion - Jewish, Pegan, and Christian lived in Harmony well at least better than any other nation I know of during this period. 3) Cool stories of Teutonic Knights and the Golden Horde which were both victories and defeats. 4) "Noble democracy" int he 17th Century was well before USA Republic/Democracy of the 18th Century.
