Just finished the mongols, slavery and faith. The slavery indirectly led to the mongols stopping in the Middle East. Faith led to the overzealous of Europe and the Mongols.. well they’re the mongols you know the story.

Pretty interesting so far, gives further context on just how behind Europe was for so long. It puts a dent in a European exceptionalism view. But it does struggle with trying to put more of it on a single region. That being the Middle East rather than acknowledging it’s a global effort that brought great change to the world rather than the effort of one region.
