User "Kman" from another website.. asked me if Southern Europe is the more successful region of Europe historically, why is Northern Europe, Britain and North America the superior, more successful region.
This is what I said to him in a response.
1. Southern Europe is still the more successful culture in terms of the Humanities.
2. Technology changed in the Industrial revolution, abilities that Northern Europe did not have, relying more on nature in times gone past... they now have because of Industry and technology and more.
Seafaring was always a haphazard art, at best for northern Europe, and a Frontier at the worst... until the Industrial Revolution and Technology.
3. Southern Europe, having nature working for it... time, age, geography, climate.... they didn't need the industrial revolution anywhere near as much... or so it would be easy for them to believe, or want to believe.. at the time.
BIG mistake.
And now, because Northern Europe has such a huge head start in Industry and modern Technologies, Southern Europe cannot make it up without outside help from either Northern Europe, or the USA.
4. Much simpler times, in bygone eras, are not and never have been indicators for how well one does in more sophisticated and advanced times.
That's why technologically, things are the opposite now, of how they once were.
Technology still has disastrous effects on Latin peoples in the Americas... not so much in Europe Anymore.
