I had a teacher with an interesting theory related to that LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 07/04/2010 12:57:49 AM
she theorized that if the Mongols hadn't set so much of Russia so far back industry/technology wise than Europe, then blah blah chain of events (I don't recall exactly) lead to WWI and then onward to your point.

He must be talking about a different plague, but I'm not sure which one, either. *NM* Legolas - 07/04/2010 01:37:32 AM 317 Views
